Combat

Initiative

Characters roll a join battle actions to establish the reaction count. Players roll Wits + Awareness with the highest count going on tick 1, others counting down from there. (Exactly like Exalted) Players may take Free Actions on their join battle actions, for people with the quick draw feat this includes drawing their weapon.

Actions

Actions are done like actions in the exalted system and are tracked with the tick system. Actions have a speed, no higher than 6, and a DV penalty. Multiple actions can be taken with flurries as per normal.

Defense Value Calculations

Defense Values

Dodge DV: (Dexterity + Wits + Dodge) / 2 rounded up
Parry DV: (Dexterity + ability + Defense of Weapon) / 2 rounded up

Mental Defense Values

Dodge MDV: (Willpower + Integrity) / 2 rounded up
Parry MDV: (attribute + ability) / 2 rounded up

Soak

Bashing Soak: Stamina + Armor
Lethal Soak: (1/2)Stamina + Armor
Aggravated Soak: Armor

Long Ticks

For online threads, it is not efficient to play out conflict on a tick-by-tick basis. Therefore I will introduce long ticks in such story sequences. A combat action will be rolled normally once, but that roll will represent more than a single action. A successful "hit" will help the combatant gain the upper hand (whatever that may mean in the context of the battle). Force skills will likely continue to be rolled normally. If, for example, within the long tick a Jedi wishes to use Telekenesis, that force action would still be rolled.

The mechanics of this system will vary from situation to situation and this section will be improved upon.

 ==Actions==
-When it's a character's turn to go, the character gets either one complex action or two simple actions. A character can make any number of free actions on their tick.

-*Complex actions:
-**Search a body
-**Some force powers
-*Simple actions:
-**Reload blaster
-**Fire blaster/thrown weapon attack
-**Draw weapon
-**Some force powers
-**Melee or brawl attack
-*Free actions:
-**Verbal communication
-**Switching gun mode between stun and kill
-*When taking multiple simple actions the speed of the characters action is taken as the slowest of the simple actions taken. For a complex action it is whatever the speed of the complex action is.
-*The DV penalty of all actions taken during a tick are added together and applied until DV refreshes. (Etc. Taking 2 simple actions with a DV penalty of -1 gives a -2 DV penalty until DV is refreshed.)
