Resolving Battles vs. Creatures
Battles against creatures are resolved in the following steps:
1. Evade
The character first declares whether he is evading or not. If not, then a battle takes place.
2. Cast Spells
Any Spells that the player wishes to cast must be cast before the attack roll is made. Any effects or abilities that affect a character’s Strength or Craft must be implemented before the attack roll is made.
3. Character Attack Roll
The character rolls one die, the result of which is considered the attack roll. The character’s attack score is the attack roll plus the character’s Strength, plus any other modifiers that may apply. Remember that only one Weapon may be used at a time.
4. Creature Attack Roll
5. Compare Attack Scores
The total of the creature’s attack roll and Strength is the creature’s attack score. If the character’s attack score is higher, the creature is killed. If the creature’s attack score is higher, the character is defeated and loses one life (use of an Object, Spell, or special ability may prevent this). If the attack scores are equal the result is a stand-off. If the character is defeated or the battle ends in a stand-off, the character’s turn then immediately ends.
