To determine whether the attacking character hit the enemy, the following rolls are performed:
-
First, the attacker performs the Attack Roll.
-
Then, the attacker compared the result with the target's Defense
-
If the Attack Roll result is equal or higher, the attack hits and its Hit Strength is 1.
-
For every additional 6 points above the required Defense, the hit increases its Hit Strength by 1 (up to a maximum of 3).
Hit Strength
If the attack results in a hit, the damage that will be inflicted depends on the Hit Strength value.
Hit Strength
1
2
3
​
Light Hit
Medium Hit
Critical Hit
Each weapon deals different damage depending on the inflicted wound. The exact values are described in Chapter 5: Equipment. For example, a standard sword deals the following damage:
Damage
3
6
9
Injury and Death
Hit Strength
1
2
3
If a character's hit points drop to 0, they are vulnerable to injuries and cannot heal (in any way) for one hour. They are also exhausted.
Then, each subsequent attack, instead of dealing damage, causes the following effects depending on its Hit Strength:
Hit Strength
1
2
3
​
​
No effect
Severe Injury
Fatal Injury
When a character receives an injury, the player rolls 1d4 and determines the type of wound based on the result:
1d4 Roll

3
4
​
Injury
Arm Injury
Leg Injury
Internal Injury
Head Injury
​
If a character is about to receive another severe injury to the same place, they receive a fatal injury instead. No matter how many healthy limbs they have. Penalties from injuries do not stack - the highest one is taken into account (exhausted included).
