Gameplay
Initative
Flat d20, same for enemies (GM).
Turns
Move, major, and minor actions.
- Action
-
One major action per turn (unless class, etc says otherwise). Examples include attack, class skill, another major action. GM enforcement.
Attack
Physical. Choose enemy within range. Roll d20. Compare to defense. If higher, roll and deal damage.
Beast Mode
Rolling a 20 on any check (attack, skill, etc) results in the best possible outcome.
Additionally, in combat you automatically hit and deal maximm damage plus an additional die of damage. You also gain advantage on your next roll.
Least Mode
Rolling a 20 on any check (attack, skill, etc) results in the worst possible outcome.
In combat, this results in a miss and may hurt yourself or allies.
Movement
You can move up to 25 feet on your turn. You can choose to use a movement in place of your major action allowing you to move a total of 50 feet.
Breakout
Disengage adjacent enemy, avoids Opportunity Attack from enemy. Takes major action.
Minor Action
Closing a door, other examples. Skills can only be used in this way if explicitly stated.
Opportunity Attack
If an adjacent enemy leaves a neighboring square without using Break Out you get a free attack. Also, vice versa.
Falling Down
If you fall prine to the ground, it takes a move action to stand back up. Attacking a prone character gives you advantage but if you miss you fall down.
Resting
Short rest (one hour?), regain 1d6 HP.
Long rest (time dependent), regains all HP.
Dual Wielding
While weilding a weapon in two hands you make attack with both in a single action. Roll each strike separately. If you miss on the first attack, you also mis on the second.
Adventuring
Adventure mode (vs rounds). Skill checks.
