Combat

Combat is the bane of my PBEM experience so I'm hoping that BRP will streamline the whole experience, if a player has not posted within a reasonable time (to be decided depending on the pace of the game) then the Keeper reserves the right to NPC the character. I will be using this following combat reference:

Initiative

1d20 + Dex to decide rank of invesigators (all NPC will go after the players, beginning with friendlies then enemy).

Hit Locations

Code: Select all

Melee   	            Missile   	      Location   	

01-04 	             01-03 	           Right leg 	     
05-08 	             04-06 	           Left leg 	     
09-11                  07-10 	           Abdomen 	  
12 	               11-15 	           Chest 	    
13-15 	            16-17 	           Right arm 	    
16-18  	            18-19  	           Left arm
19-20 	              20 	              Head 	

Hit Points per location

Leg, Abdomen, head - 1/3 of total HP
Arm - 1/4 of total HP
Chest 4/10 of total HP

An example:

Code: Select all

Total HP: 13

Right leg       5
Left leg         5
Abdomen      5
Chest            6
Right arm     4
Left arm       4
Head            5

A hit location is crippled when the location HP is O or a negative score. Effects of a negative location HP differs from HL to HL. Maximum damage sustainable  on one HL is twice the HL HP. If more damage is dealt the surplus damage will affect neighbouring HL. (Only rarely a person survives double HL trauma...) A HL receiving twice its HP is crushed or severed.
