To do anything you need to pick out the appropriate skill then roll the number or less. If you do not have any points in a skill the default skill is 25%. A hard skill can have -10 to -20 subtracted from the Skill, while an easy task would have +10 to +20. Note: you could in extreme situations have a greater situations have a greater than 20 modifier. A Gamemaster can choose to let you know if you can do it instead of a roll. In some cases your character might be completely unable to do something and the Gamemaster will just say no.
Time and Movement
You move as many feet a round as your Action skill. During your round you can move and/or attack. You may move and attack in the same round in most cases. A smart character lets his opponent attack first and reacts to the situation accordingly.
What is a round? A round is a few seconds up to 6 seconds. A turn is 10 rounds that is give or take a minute long, 60 minutes is 1 hour etc.
Vision and Perception
You can see others at a distance of Perception x 5 in feet (average 125 feet). For each multiple of your perception you have a -10 to the Perception roll. You can hear at a range of Perception x 2 in feet (average 50 feet). For each multiple of your perception over 2 you get -10 to Perception roll. You can increase and decrease these multipliers as you see fit depending on the situation.
Unless noted humans cannot see well at all in the dark. They get a -10 to perception on a moonlit night and -20 on a dark night.
Artificial light sources give a small radius of light. Candles give off at the most 15 feet of illumination. Torches and lanterns give off about 30 feet of illumination.
Structures
Wood - Wood stops 4 points of damage. Hit points will vary. Most 5x 5 sections of wall depending on thickness will have around 25-200 hit points. A door depending on it's thickness will have 5-100 hit points.
Stone- Stone stops 20 points of damage. Most 5x5 sections of stone wall depending on thickness will have 100-1000 hit points.
Metal- Metal stops 30 points of damage. Most 5x5 sections of metal walls depending on thickness will have 100-1000 hit points.
To destroy structures you must take out it's supports so that it will fall down. The amount of the damage is up to the GM.
Hazards
Falls-1-10 per 10 ft. If you land in water take away the first 30 ft of damage and convert all other damage to temporary. If you fall through a rotten wooden structure or some other structure that could break your fall roll 1/2 your fall damage dice round up in your favor to roll for a damage reduction. Example: Tom falls 70 feet onto a rotten roof. You would roll 4 dice to see if the rotten roof broke his fall. If the lesser dice are greater than the fall dice you only take the difference.
Fire- 1-10 per round. If you have any flammable objects there is a 50% chance that the object will catch on fire. If any flammable liquid is added there is an 80% chance of fire.
Drowning- You can stay under water equal to your Stamina x 3 in seconds. After that A stamina roll every 10 seconds with a failure giving you a cumulative -10 to your Stamina roll and 1-10 temporary damage. When your Stamina roll is negative you take 1-10 temporary damage a round until dead.
Cold- You take 1-10 temporary damage every 10 minutes you are unprotected in the freezing cold if you fail a Stamina roll. You can protect yourself by wearing winter clothing and take no damage. If you are some protection you might only take 1/2 damage if you fail a Stamina roll. If you find shelter with a fire or the correct gear you can lose 1-10 temporary hit points an hour.
Heat- If you are wearing thick clothing and or armor in the intense heat not doing much you take 1-10 temporary damage an hour on a failed Stamina roll. If you are doing hard work and/or fighting you will take 1-10 every 10 minutes on a failed Stamina roll.
Starvation – You can go without food for you Stamina/10 in days. Each additional Stamina/10 you go down loose 1 Hit Point and you lose 1/10 your Stamina, Action, Might, and any other Skill/Attribute that the Gamemaster feels.

Initiative
Who goes first in combat? In real life its always the fastest person hands down. Unless you get them in ambush! Action is the Skill you use to see who goes first. The person with the highest action goes first then the next lower Action and so on. You may if you are quicker wait for your opponent to attack. Then you may decide to parry or if your opponent has missed you may attack him freely. If an opponent has 20 more points of imitative then you cannot defend unless he has already attacked.
If your Initiative is higher you may opt to let your opponent attack first. You then may see if his attack was a success, if so you may opt to parry or dodge. If not you may attack at any time during the round, as you are the fastest. If you do not have your weapon drawn you must roll ½ your Action or Melee Skill whichever is lower in order to quick draw the weapon. A defense such as a Parry, Block, or Dodge can be done at any time during a round.
If there is a distance between opponents it takes away 10 points of imitative to move into combat 10 feet. In some cases this will still allow the opponent to attack first but it will give you a chance to parry.
Example: Theodos has an action score of 46 and is attacking a demon with an Action of 85. If the demon is 40 feet away and he closes in it makes his initiative go down to 45 respectively. This allows Theodos to get one good slash in as he stands his ground.
Combat
Are you the best brawler? Swordsman? The best shot? Are there any modifiers?
You have two choices attack or defense.
An attack is done by rolling your Melee, Brawling, or Accuracy or less.
A defense that is done for Melee is a Parry.
A defense that is done in Brawling is Block.
A defense that is done with Action is a Dodge.
Parries can be modified against weapon size.
You simply roll your Skill or less on % roll to hit.
If you choose to attack more than one opponent or preform more than one action it takes away 10 points for the second attack, 20 points for the third, 40 points for the fourth, 80 points for the fifth and so on doubling each extra attack. This resets next round.

Damage
Okay so I hit the enemy. What did it do to him? What is a scratch? What’s light Damage? What’s severe? Am I dead yet? Yep I’m dead! Most people when hit with a weapon will fall to the ground and begin going into shock and dying. It does not have to be a body part with organs and entrails to kill. A hit to your arm can kill through shock and blood loss. A real experienced fighter avoids getting hit by spliting his actions per round to parry or dodge. When the time is right the fighter can hit for massive damage after his opponent has missed and has no more actions to defend himself.
-Scratch 1/10 Hit Points or Above -0 (Example Amanda the young scantly clad peasant girl has a Stamina of 25 which is 25 hit point. 3 damage is a scratch.
-Above 1/2 Hit Points but above 1/10 Stamina -10 Lightly Injured. (4-13 hit points) -10 to ALL actions
-Below 1/2 Hit Points -20 Severely Injured (14-25 damage) -20 to ALL actions.
-At 0 hit points or below you are dying. You will live as many rounds as you Stamina minus your damage below 0 taken. (Example above if Amanda is hit for 28 damage in a round she is at - 3 damage. She has 22 rounds to live.) -30 to ALL actions.
-You must roll a Stamina roll at that time or be stunned for 1-10 (minus 1/10 of your Stamina and Will divided by two.) rounds (going in and out of consciousness basically) before you can attempt another Stamina roll. All actions are at -30 (not your Stamina roll) at this time. Any action below 0% you cannot do.
Temporary damage is from fist fights and such. Temporary damage goes up instead of down and it it is higher than you current hit points you fall unconscious.
Damage Levels
Roll D10 + Might divided by 10 + Damage modifier for damage with weapons. Hand to hand damage is 1-5 Damage + Might divided by 10. If you roll a 10 for damage then you automatically roll another 10 sided dice adding the totals. If you keep rolling 10s then you keep adding until you do not roll another 10. An option also is to have fixed damage of 5 + Might divided by 10 + Damage modifier. With this an average person does 9 points of damage with a normal weapon and 5 with a punch.
Specialist get to add their skill divided by 10 added to the damage.
You can have the OPTIONAL quick kill rule that anytime a 10 is rolled in damage an NPC is automatically killed
Armor
Hey did my armor stop that damage? Armor can be bought at an armorer shop. Most of the time you have to have Armor built. Armor has a number listed will take damage first before the damage is applied to the Character.
Shields are another aspect of armor. Shields also add an extra attack like an offhand weapon. It is only a parry as modified by the shield size(which the modifier is listed behind the shield’s name) but you could opt to shield bash at 1-10(-4) damage. A double on a wooden shield shatters it. On a metal shield only a double even number it dents it but it can be repaired.
Healing
How long am I hurt? When does this heal? You heal at 1/10 your Stamina per day after a person . A successful Healer roll gives you back 1-10 hit points and a critical success gives you 2-20 hit points back. You never get back more than you had to start off with. That is unless you can find a magical or alchemy means of healing from a wound.
Temporary damage is healed 1/10 your Stamina per hour of rest.
Surprise! Surprise!
There will always be an enemy faster than you. How do you attack the faster enemy with out getting hacked, killed, or shot? You can use a Stealth roll. As long as you do not fail it you can get one free round of attacks. If you do fail it but not a fumble the enemy then must make a Perception roll. If the enemy fails the perception roll you still get surprise. If you roll during an ambush twice your Stealth you have fumbled and can do nothing for a round.
Morale
When combat is not going well one must do a Will check for non-playing characters. If it fails the NPC will attempt to flee combat for 1-10 rounds after the threat is passed.
QUICK NON PLAYING CHARACTERS
With this document you now have the POWER to make up NPCs on the fly. Fell free to just ignore these rules and make them up on the fly. Try to base your non playing characters on real world people you and your players know, like or hate. A non playing character based on an actual enemy gives a lot of strong motivation to defeat that enemy. Everyone else need not know the non playing character is based on any actual character.
