(TapClick for Combat reference)

Initiative: 0 dice

Movement: 0 feet

Dash: 0 feet

Perception + Alertness: 0 dice

At the start of Combat, roll Initiative: Dexterity + Perception Difficulty 6.

Each Round of Combat represents 3 seconds of near-simultaneous action.

It's my Turn

You get one Movement and one Action on your turn every Round of Combat.

Movement

Movement is taken immediately before OR after your Action. It cannot be split.
You may Free Move (0) feet. Minimum 5 feet.
You may Dash up to an additional (0 feet).
- Dashing penalizes your Action -1 die per 5 feet.
All-out Sprint: instead of using free Movement or Dash, you may spend your Action and roll Brawn + Athletics ( dice) Difficulty 6. You move (0 + (Outcome x 5) Feet).

Actions

Attack with your weapon or hands.
Evade by rolling to Defend or Dodge. Your Outcome is "spent" to reduce the Outcome of any incoming attacks until your next Action.
Activate a Power or use an Ability as normal.
Hold your Action by declaring an Action and a triggering event. If the event occurs before your turn on the next Round, you perform the Action.

I'm being attacked

If you have not yet spent your Action this Round, you may use it as a Reaction.

Reactions

Dodge by rolling Dexterity + Athletics ( dice) Difficulty 6. Your Outcome is subtracted from the attacker's.
Defend with your weapon by rolling its attack roll. Your Outcome is subtracted from the attacker's. Availability depends on weapon match-up (tap/hover).
Clash with the attacker using the same roll you would use to Defend. The higher Outcome (not contested) is treated as the result of a successful, undefended attack roll against the loser.

Desperate Defense

If you have already used your Action, you may Exert your Mind to perform a Reaction. Your next Round's Action receives a -2 dice penalty. You cannot Clash as a Desperate Defense or React more than once to a given Action.

Will to Survive

Once per Contract, you may reduce the severity of an incoming Injury up to 5 Severity levels (to a minimum of Severity 5). You also take a point of Mind Damage and suffer a Battle Scar as normal.

If an attack's Outcome is positive after defense, it results in a new Injury with Severity = Outcome + Weapon damage - Armor

Injuries

(Mensk Xelnaga [13] is unharmed)

(TapClick for Severe Injury reference)

Injuries Severity 4+ cause a Battle Scar or Equipment destruction and always require Stabilization

Stabilization is the Injury's main treatment, and each Injury can only be successfully Stabilized once

Unstabilized Injuries worsen by 1 Severity level every half hour

Proper Stabilization

Requires an advanced first aid kit for Severity 4 Injuries, a surgery setup for Severity 5 Injuries, and a surgery theater for Severity 6+ Injuries.

Roll Intellect + Medicine, Difficulty equal to Severity

An Outcome of 1 or greater will Stabilize the Injury and stop its degradation.
Outcome 4+ puts the Injury on track to heal clean: its Battle Scar heals with it.
On a Botch, the Injury's Severity increases by 1.
Failed or Botched attempts may be re-attempted at +1 Difficulty per failure.

Makeshift Stabilization

Attempt a major treatment using insufficient or improvised medical equipment.

Roll Intellect + Medicine, Difficulty > Severity

(Difficulty based on materials and tactics used)

Outcome 1+ will Stabilize the Injury and stop its degradation.
However, any Outcome less than 4 increases the Injury’s Severity by 1. Botches also worsen its Battle Scar if it caused one.
Regardless of Outcome, any Battle Scars caused by the Injury will persist after it is fully healed.
Failed or Botched attempts may be retried at +1 Difficulty per failure.

Self-stabilization attempts are rolled at +1 Difficulty.

Dice penalties from Battle Scars do not stack with Stress

Touched by the Beyond You glimpsed something vast and alive between universes in the veil. Something noticed you back. Make a Self-Control roll whenever you witness anomalies in reality (e.g., time slowing, impossible geometry, beings phasing in or out of existence, or using interdimensional travel). On a failed Self-Control roll, Mensk's mind struggles to process the presence of the entities that dwell between worlds. Mensk is overcome with sensations of being observed, tracked, or “marked.”

Nightmares Your sleep is plagued with horrible nightmares of children dying and being comsumed by a black ooze.

Fragmented Identity Mensk is no longer certain which memories are truly his. Every reminder of his past might be a lie whispered by the Veil. Make a Self-Control roll whenever Mensk is forced to recall or rely on a personal memory: This includes recognizing an old friend, reading his own journal, or seeing a location from his past. On a failed Self-Control roll, Mensk momentarily adopts a conflicting persona from an alternate version of himself.

Echoes of the Unlived Mensk is haunted by lives he never lived, but remembers intimately. Make a Self-Control roll whenever Mensk witnesses something profoundly emotional (e.g., a family reunion, a child crying, a funeral, or a tender moment between lovers). On a failed Self-Control roll, Mensk is overwhelmed by vivid memories and emotions from an alternate self’s life. Perhaps one who had a family, a lover, or a peaceful existence. Mensk experiences these as real, triggering a wave of grief, longing, or rage.

Burn So Others Don't You’ve seen too many die. Too many you couldn’t save. So now, Mensk will save them. Even if it kills him. Make a Self-Control roll whenever someone else is in serious danger—particularly innocents or allies. This includes when they’re under fire, injured, or emotionally collapsing. On a failed Self-Control roll, Mensk's instincts override self-preservation and logic. He becomes consumed by the need to be the shield, the sacrifice, the one who suffers so they don’t have to.

You have no citizenship in any country or nation, and have no legally recognized forms of identification or licenses, making many elements of modern life impossible for you to attain. Making Moves to gain new Circumstances is significantly hampered by your outsider status, and in some cases may be completely impossible. Your Outsider status may occasionally cause GMs to give you new Loose Ends, at their discretion.

Biography

There are places between realities where time folds like crumpled silk, where the past breathes into the future and space hums with the light of a thousand unchosen tomorrows. They call it the Radiant Veil. It doesn't offer hope or any form of physical matter, but the space shines with visions and possibilities.

Mensk Xelnaga was once a man of terrifying brilliance. A CEO, an artificer of artificial intelligence, a trillionaire tactician who played with governments and societies like others played with cards. But somewhere between the beginning and the total power to remake the world in his image, he was betrayed by his most trusted.

He barely remembers how or why.

Now he floats alone in the interstice between alternate Earths, barely alive.

His body is wrapped in the shattered remnants of his armor, its neon circuitry flickering erratically with crimson pulses. Deep scars crawl up his chest like lightning etched in flesh, and the glowing gauntlets once used to command gravitational fields now twitch with barely-contained entropy.

The goggle on his left eye is cracked. His iris behind it glows an unnatural blue, an aftereffect of his final escape. Not through a wormhole. Not a jump gate. But a shatterline: a violent tear in the fabric of reality meant to be a one-way trip.

He remembers the moment: his hands trembling over the core controls, blood trailing from a wound under his ribs. Voices screaming in his ear. The words “This is not the way.” He had smiled anyway.

Now silence.

Drifting.

Burning.

His mind spirals as it touches the Radiant Veil. Thoughts become memories. Memories become possibilities. His trauma bleeds into the dimension making him a beacon, or a curse.

He prays.

He doesn't know to whom. Gods don’t listen to people like Mensk.

And yet…

The dimension stirs.

Someone/thing is walking towards him.
