Combat Rules
The logic of Combat round is similar to Opposed Rolls. It basically just a set of Opposed Rolls which take turns by DEXand the
type of skills that can be used is limited. Everyone will attack once(mostly) in a round and the target use a skill to counter
or dodge. The Combat will continues until one side leave or die.
The most important difference of Opposed Rolls in Combat and the normal situation is the process of tie.
In Combat Round, the win and lose when the success level
is tie follow the rules:
Dodge ＞ Attack (Brawl, Firearms, Magic...) ＞ Counter (Brawl, Firearms, Magic...)
