\section{Combat} \begin{center} \begin{minipage}[t]{0.46\textwidth} \subsubsection{Initiative (GCB. 96)} Initiative is decided in the beginning of combat with a simple (-) \textbf{Cool} or \textbf{Vigilance} check. \textbf{Cool} when the characters are ready for combat, \textbf{Vigilance} when they are not. \vspace{10pt} \subsubsection{Maneuvers (GCB. 98)} Max 2 maneuvers per turn. First is free, the second either costs 2 strain, is exchanged for an action, or performed by spending \advantage\advantage from a combat check. \begin{itemize}[leftmargin=*] \item \textbf{Aim (steady aim)}: Add \boost to next attack. If you spend two consecutive maneuvers aiming, it's \boost\boost. \item \textbf{Aim (aim for limb/item)}: Hobble or disarm on hit. Add \setback\setback to attack. If 2 consecutive maneuvers, \setback. \item \textbf{Assist}: Add \boost to ally's check. \item \textbf{Guarded stance}: +1 melee defense, add \setback to own attacks. \item \textbf{Interact} with environment or gear. \item \textbf{Mount} or dismount. \item \textbf{Move}: Move between range bands according to the guide on the previous page. \item \textbf{Drop prone or stand from prone}. \item \textbf{Preparation}: Sometimes required by talent or ability. \end{itemize} \subsubsection{Actions (GCB. 101)} You can spend your action to do a maneuver, activate an ability, perform a skill check, or perform a combat check. \textbf{Combat checks} are much like regular skill checks. You assemble a dice pool based on the appropriate skill and roll it against a set difficulty. If it succeeds, you hit your target. \subsubsection{Wounds and strain (GCB. 112)} Wounds are physical damage to your PC. If your wounds exceed your wound threshold, you are incapacitated and gain a critical injury. Strain is psychological damage to your character. If you strain exceeds your strain threshold, you are incapacitated. \subsubsection{Critical Injuries (GCB. 114)} Critical injuries are serious and sometimes permanent injuries sustained by your character. They can be gained when an enemy uses advantage gained from a combat roll to give you one, or if your character exceeds their wound threshold. When you gain a critical injury, roll 1d100 plus 10 times the amount of critical injuries you already have on the critical injuries table \subsubsection{Weapon Stat Meaning (GCB. 90)} \begin{itemize}[leftmargin=*] \item \textbf{Damage}: Flat number means the weapon deals that damage. '+' in front of the number means you add your Brawn. Each \success adds 1 damage to the attack. \item \textbf{Crit}: The number indicates the number of \advantage required to cause a critical injury. \item \textbf{Specials} cause various effects, see chart on page 3. Some require \advantage to \advantage\advantage\advantage to activate. \end{itemize} \end{minipage} \hfil \hspace{30pt} \begin{minipage}[t]{0.46\textwidth} \subsubsection{Two-Weapon Combat (GCB. 108)} You can choose to attack with two weapons as a combat check. To do so, roll with +1 difficulty. If you hit, you hit with 1 of your weapons. You can spend \advantage\advantage to hit with the other one. \vspace{10pt} \subsubsection{Attack Difficulties (GCB. 102, 108)} \rowcolors{1}{tablecolor1}{tablecolor2} \begin{tabularx}{\textwidth}{|X|X|} \hline \rowcolor[HTML]{F69337} {\color[HTML]{FFFFFF} \textbf{RANGE}} & {\color[HTML]{FFFFFF} \textbf{DIFFICULTY}} \\ \hline Melee & \difficulty\difficulty \\ \hline Engaged (ranged) & \difficulty\difficulty\difficulty \\ \hline Engaged (gunnery) & N/A \\ \hline Short & \difficulty \\ \hline Medium & \difficulty\difficulty \\ \hline Long & \difficulty\difficulty\difficulty \\ \hline Extreme & \difficulty\difficulty\difficulty\difficulty \\ \hline \multicolumn{2}{|c|}{\cellcolor[HTML]{2D4864}{\color[HTML]{FFFFFF}\textbf{MODIFIERS}}} \\ \hline Engaged with ally & Upgrade 1 \difficulty to \challenge.
