Attacking

An attack proceeds in two steps: attack roll, then damage roll.

1. Attack Roll

d20 + Attack Stat + weapon bonus >= target’s Defense Score

Weapon or Spell Type	Attack Stat Used
Heavy weapon / 2-handed	Strength (STR)
Light weapon / 1-handed	Dexterity (DEX)
Ranged weapon	Precision (PRE)
Offensive spell	Intelligence (INT)

• Natural 20 -> critical success (unstoppable attack, damage doubled).
• Natural 1 -> critical failure (weapon jams, spell fails).

2. Damage Roll

• Roll the dice indicated on the weapon or spell.
• Determine the physical nature of the attack (mechanical, radiative, or internal).
• Subtract the corresponding resistance (RMEC, RRAD, or RINT).
• Apply the result to the target’s hit points.
• If the target is reduced to 0 HP -> they are knocked out of combat.

Correspondence Examples:

• Sword, bullet, projectile -> RMEC
• Fire, laser, lightning -> RRAD
• Life drain, necrosis, corruption -> RINT
