Firstly, I find your system decidedly refreshing. I hate to admit that your very simple combat rules have caused me some confusion and I was hoping to get some clarification. Let me know if I understand the instructions to attack and defend myself from a creature:
Let's say I have these stats:
Level: 1 Health: 8
Agility: 11 Brawn: 4 Cunning: 17
There's a monster. I decide to shoot the monster with a crossbow. I roll a 6 on a d20. It's a hit and I do 6 points of damage?
Where I get confused is in defense:
Monster tries to hit me. I say, I am going to roll out of the way of his attack. I use agility to do so.
If I roll a 14 and my agility is 11. I take 11 points of damage and I go to zero hit points.
If I roll a 3 and my agility is 11. I take 8 points of damage and I go to zero hit points.
If I roll my stat of 11, I take 11 points of damage and I go to zero hit points.
If I roll at 10, I take 1 point of damage and go to 7 hit points.
Do i have this correct? Does the monster's stats to attack or dodge come into consideration at all?
Thanks!
