REMINDER
In Roko's Basilisk, you are not required to use the stats. These are in place only for those who want to roleplay a fight but would like to avoid potential unfairness, powerplay or cheating. If both parties can agree on an outcome within a battle or fight, Stats do not need to be involved.
However, during events where rolls may be required, you will need to participate using your characters set stats.
STATS USED IN COMBAT
In combat, the system prioritizes strength, speed and endurance.
Strength is the skill used for overall fighting ability.
ENDURANCE will be the health you maintain within combat. This holds your ability to stay in combat for a duration of time.
HEALTH
SPEED in combat is the modifier you have to either add to 10 for your escape defense.
The slower you are, the lower your escape-defense, and vise versa.
DEFENSE
STRENGTH is the primary skill in combat. This is the roll that defines what damage has been made, or whether or not you missed.
ATTACK
STATS instructions
HAND TO HAND COMBAT ONLY
At the beginning of the fight, whoever has thrown the first punch will roll with a !d20 + STRENGTH modifier. The number they will have to beat to land a hit or successfully pull off a move is 10 + their target's SPEED MODIFIER, also known as their escape-defense.
If the attacker has equaled or beaten their target's escape defense, the damage taken is equal to the initial strength attack and is subtracted from the target's endurance.
To roll to attack, roll !d20+ STRENGTH MODIFIER
Every character has a base number of 10 for their escape-defense. Add or subtract from 10 with the SPEED MODIFIER to find your characters escape-defense.
Example
A character with the modifier of SPEED -3 would subtract 3 from base 10 for an escape defense of 7.
To attack, a character rolls a 10 with their STRENGTH modifier and lands a hit. The target takes 10 damage and subtracts from their ENDURANCE.
ADVANCED MOVES
Please note that these are considered ADVANCED moves and are OPTIONAL if the fight seems to be skewed in favor of one party.
FLANKiNG
If your character is working with an ally to attack a single target then they can attempt flanking. First, decide OOC if the characters are capable of working together and if the target will fall for the distraction, this has to be agreed upon by all players. The first person specifies in their post that they are not attacking and instead acting as a convincing diversion to create an opening for the second character that they must mention in their post who will then roll to attack on their turn with an additional +5 bonus to strength. Note that the +5 bonus only counts for ONE TURN and cannot be transferred between characters or used multiple rounds in a row.
1D20+STRENGTH MODIFIER+5
DODGE
Instead of attacking at the start of their turn, your character can focus entirely on dodging the next attack aimed in their direction. To do so, add 5 to your characters escape defense and add it to the end of your post ie; Character chooses to dodge for their turn. Note that your character CANNOT ATTACK while choosing to dodge and that your dodge move only counts for ONE ATTACK that they receive.
14 + SPEED MODIFIER
GRAPPLE
Ideal for characters looking to restrain or end a fight fast. Instead of attacking, your character can roll to grapple a single target by rolling 1d20 + STRENGTH modifier. If the attacker successfully grapples the target by beating the target's escape defense, then the target is now considered restrained and their escape-defense is reduced to 5. Note that while involved in a grapple, both characters cannot attack and instead must use their turn to roll 1d20 + STRENGTH modifier to continue to grapple or to break free with the highest roll between both players succeeding. After 3 turns, the target automatically breaks free
1D20 + STRENGTH MODIFIER
When choosing any of these advanced moves, please specify in your response to make it clear for all players.
