Combat Stuff

---

It’s easier to take out a helpless enemy, but you have to concentrate on the attack. When you attack a helpless enemy you’re engaged with, you score an automatic critical hit if you follow these three steps:

• Skip your move action and your quick action that turn.
• Make a standard action attack on your turn against the helpless enemy you are engaged with.
• Your attack only targets the helpless enemy; you’re focusing the entire attack against the helpless foe, even if the attack would normally target multiple creatures.

back to top

• 1-15 – gain 1 more skull, and end your turn
• 16–19 – use a recovery to return to consciousness. Getting up is all you can do on your turn.
• 20 – heal as with a roll of 16–19 but also take actions normally that turn.

back to top

• Opportunity attacks are limited-strength, bonus attacks that creatures sometimes make against enemies engaged with them.
• You can make an opportunity attack against an engaged enemy if it uses a ranged attack or moves away from you without disengaging first.
• An opportunity attack is a basic melee attack against that foe as a free action, made just before the enemy’s action that provoked the attack.
• You can’t use limited-use or flexible attacks for an opportunity attack, only a basic melee attack.

back to top

• Readying is a Standard Action that lets you take a single action (Standard, Move, or Free (but not Quick)) later – after your turn is over but before your next one has begun
• Specify the action you will take and the conditions under which you will take it.
• Then, any time before your next turn, you may take the readied action in response to that condition.
• The readied action occurs just before the action that triggers it.
• If the triggered action is part of another character’s activities, you interrupt the other character – who can continue their actions once you complete your readied action.
• Your initiative result changes to the count on which you took the readied action, and you act immediately ahead of the character whose action triggered your readied action.

Rules

---

• In general, bonuses accumulate, or “stack,” so a +1 bonus from your magic wand can pile onto a +2 bonus from an ally’s power for a +3.
• The exceptions are:
  • Magic item bonuses don’t stack:
    • If you have one magic item that gives you +1 AC, another magic item giving you +2 AC only provides you with the higher bonus: +2 AC.
  • Many condition penalties don’t stack:
    • Conditions like Dazed, Weakened, and Stunned come with attack and defense penalties, but condition penalties to the same stat don’t stack.
    • Just use the worst one.
  • Powers, spells, and abilities don’t stack with themselves or with other game elements with the same name:
    • This works for both PCs and monsters.
    • As a PC, you can use multiple powers and spells that all happen to provide a bonus to AC, and they stack.
    • But you can’t stack bonuses from two castings of shield of faith, nor can you stack bonuses from two uses of the fighter maneuver defensive fighting.
    • Powers and spells that break this rule say so explicitly.

back to top

• You can use one interrupt action when it’s not your turn
• You can’t use another one until the end of your next turn
• Intercepting now uses your interrupt action

back to top

• Example Quick Actions:
  • drawing weapons
  • opening unlocked doors
  • picking something light off the ground
  • reloading a light crossbow

back to top

• Conditions:
  • You must:
    • use a Rogue Melee Weapon attack
    • target an enemy that is Engaged with 1 or more allies
    • successfully Hit the target
  • Bonus damage may only be used 1/round
