Combat
Round Structure and Actions
Before combat, all combatants roll initiative 1d20+DEX. They act in order from highest to lowest.
If some combatants are unaware of the combat when it begins (e.g. an ambush, a sudden attack, etc.), there is a surprise round. Combatants who
are aware can take a Standard action only. Combatants who are unaware are flat-footed until their turn (-2 AC, no Reaction).
On each combatants turns, it can take a limited number of actions: 1 Move action, 1 Standard action, and a Swift action; a Move action can be
used in place of a Standard action, and a Full action can be used in place of Move + Standard. Between the end of its turn and the start of its
next, a combatant can make 1 Reaction. Some actions are Free actions, which have no limit (except practicality a combatant cannot recite a
soliloquy as a free action). If your Move action takes you more than 5, you can take your other action(s) at any point in that move.
Some sample actions are given below, but this is by no means a definitive list.

Standard Actions

Attack with a drawn weapon see below

Casting a Spell expend a spell slot of equal or higher level.
Ready an Action declare an action, and when you will take that action.
Try a Stunt see below
Using a Skill

Move Actions

Defend any Move action you make this turn doesnt provoke Opportunity Attacks (see below).
Hustle move up to twice your speed, in a roughly straight line. You are flat-footed (-2 AC, no Reaction).
Load a crossbow.
Move up to your speed.
Stand up from prone.

Swift Actions

Draw a weapon
Make an attack with an off-hand weapon (only after taking the Attack action).
Take a 5-foot step that doesnt provoke an Opportunity Attack (only if you didnt move anywhere this turn)

Reactions

Opportunity Attack if a combatant moves out of your reach, or takes any other reckless action, you may make a melee attack.
Take a Readied action see above.

Full Actions

Run at 4x your base speed, in a roughly straight line. You are flat-footed (-2 AC, no Reaction).
Full Defence all attacks against you have disadvantage, and you have advantage on Reflex saves.

Free Actions
Nocking an arrow, speaking a short sentence, falling prone, dropping a held item.

Attacks
All attack rolls are made with 1d20+attack bonus+ ability modifier (STR for melee weapons, DEX for ranged or finesse weapons). If the result is
equal or higher than the targets Armour Class (AC), the attack hits and deals damage; otherwise, it misses. A natural 1 is always a miss.
A natural 20 on the attack roll is a critical hit: it always hits, and damage dealt is doubled.
Attack Range: melee attacks can normally only be made against adjacent characters. Large creatures or creatures with reach weapons can make
melee attacks against creatures up to 10 distant. Ranged or thrown weapons can be used normally up to close range, and at disadvantage out to
long range.
Dual-Wielding: if you are wielding two light weapons, you can attack with the off-hand weapon as a Swift action. -2 on-hand, -4 off-hand.
Lunging Attacks: you can lunge to attack a combatant beyond your reach, but become flat-footed (-2 AC, no Reaction).
Touch Attacks: attacks that only need to touch a combatant (e.g. touching for a spell) get +2 to hit.
Wild Attacks: (melee only) take half your attack bonus from your attack roll, and add it to your damage roll.

Opportunity Attacks
While in melee, combatants threaten the area within their reach. Any combatant taking a reckless action that is, any action which might distract
from the melee, or requires concentration on something other than the melee, or casting most spells or moving recklessly out of a foes
reach, standing up, picking up a dropped weapon, loading a crossbow, etc. will provoke an opportunity attack.
Opportunity attacks can be a melee weapon attack, a grapple attempt, a tripping stunt, or anything similar. The attack uses the attackers
Reaction, and interrupts the triggering combatants action (i.e. if Tee the Elf tries to run away from the hobgoblin soldier, the hobgoblin can
trip Tee with his pike, which prevents Tee from running away).
You can avoid Opportunity Attacks by taking disadvantage on any d20 rolls the action entails (or, if no rolls are required, take the Defend action).

Stunts
Any character can attempt a stunt. They must declare their intended action and the skill to be used, and then describe what the stunt is.
Stunts have a base DC of 5, and can have various effects in combination. Targets of a stunt can make a saving throw to resist the effect.

Apply a bonus (to your or another characters roll): +5 DC per +1 bonus

Apply a penalty (to another characters roll): +5 DC per -1 penalty.

Boost speed: +1 DC per 1.

Forced movement: +1 DC per 1.

Drop an item: +10 DC

Flat-Footed: +15 DC

Prone: +10 DC

Stunned: +30 DC.

Grappling
Make an opposed melee attack against your target (Large combatants get +2 or more, Small combatants get -2 or more). If the check is
successful, the combatants enter grapple. Grappled combatants must make another opposed grapple check (against all combatants in the
grapple) before attempting any action (this opposed check is a Free action). Combatants can willingly fail their grapple check.

Hit Points
All characters have a number of hit points (HP), based on their level and Constitution. At first level, characters roll their Hit Die and add their
CON modifier to the roll. This is their starting HP. Each time they gain a level, they roll their Hit Die +CON again.
When a character takes damage, they lose that many hit points. If they drop to 0hp:

If the excess damage is equal to their Constitution, they die.

Otherwise, they gain 1 level of Exhaustion, fall unconscious, and must begin making Death Saving Throws (add CON, but nothing
else).

If a character succeeds 3 before failing 3, they wake up on 1hp. A natural 20 counts as 2 successes.

If a character fails 3 before succeeding 3, they die. A natural 1 counts as 2 failures. Any damage taken counts as a failure (damage from
a critical hit counts as 2 failures).
After a good nights rest, characters regain hp equal to twice their level. After a full day of rest and relaxation, characters regain all lost hp.
Optional rule: a hard nights carousing (with all the risks that come with it) will fully heal a character.

Spellcasting
When a caster casts a spell, they choose the spell from their list of spells known or memorised/prepared, and use a spell slot of that level or
higher. Some spells have a greater effect when used through a higher-level spell slot.
Some spells require the caster to concentrate. A caster can only concentrate on one spell at a time; dropping concentration is a free action. If a
caster is damaged or otherwise disrupted, they must make a Concentration check (d20+level+casting mod vs. DC 10+spell level) to maintain
concentration.
A casters spell slots are determined by the Master Table, and by their casting modifier: if the modifier is equal to a spell level, then they have a
bonus spell slot at that level and all levels below it. If a caster has a low casting modifier, they may be restricted from certain spell levels:
modifier -1: no 5th level spells, modifier -2: no 4th level spells, etc.

Character Advancement
Characters gain experience points (XP) for overcoming challenges the higher the challenge, the more XP is earned. When a character earns
enough XP to gain a new level (see table), they roll a new Hit Die, adjust their attacks, saves and skills, and gain a new benefit from their class.
Characters can choose to multi-class (as long as their relevant ability scores
Level
XP (Fast)
XP (Average)
XP (Slow)
are 13+). Their new Hit Die and class abilities are as listed; they gain the
