XP: Win (2) -- Loss: (1) -- Proctor: (1)

Your roleplay must be at least a full and complete sentence. We will not give credit for -he punches him in the face- and that type of roleplay that only tells us you are out for the XP and do not care about story development

Brawls
• Brawls always use rank dice. There are no set dice in brawls.

• Life is half your dice + your Endurance Trait bonus + Willpower Trait Bonus AS WELL as any Hit Point Altering Skills listed below.

• Brawls are violent spars that can erupt anywhere, at anytime, without warning. They are nonlethal, if someone gets hit over their hit points, they are KO'd (knocked out).

• As such a character may RP that he uses a flavor weapon & flavor armor, but none of the bonuses to damage or defense will be applied, nor are you allowed to use specific skills related to your weapons or armor.

• Brawls are fast, bloody, violent, and purely chaotic. As flavor, a character may use their body, a melee weapon, a ranged weapon (if they can get room), a spell (as stated with no extra effects), or even improvised weapons such as bar stools, etc (we've all seen Road House).

• No Class Bonus (except specific Brawler bonus), No Skills, No Loot, Etc. during brawls EXCEPT the Innate Skills that are LISTED BELOW and those marked specifically for Brawlers, as well as any Brawler Bonus that class has.

• If you roll a Crit Hit (20), it is treated simply as an auto-hit regardless of opponent's DC.

• If you roll a Crit Fail (1), it is treated as an auto-miss, no need to roll anything else.

• Keep in mind that some professions and alignments would have your character not being able to start a brawl (though defending yourself in one is an entirely different matter). they would be more inclined to challenge another in an honorable match (such as a high-impact spar).

• Innate Skills Allowed: Charismatic Fighter, Dexterous Fighter, Tactician's Sense, Focused Shot, Power Attack, Aura of Strength, Epic Power
•Hit Point Altering Skills Allowed: Diehard, Mind Over Body, Spellborn Body

The Beginning
- Always log your spars, so that they can be sent in for XP credit.
- A brawl starts with a punch to your opponent!
- Roll Strike, see if you actually hit, and if they hit, roll damage. If you miss continue with proctor postings.
- The target may then decide to FIGHT or STAND DOWN.

If the target chooses to STAND DOWN:
- The brawl ends right then and there. If you choose to stand down, then it means you flee. You leave. You must than have your character leave the room immediately[/i]. You, the player, does not have to leave. But your character upon stating "Stand Down" must in fact leave. You are in essence running from the fight.

If the target chooses to FIGHT:
- The proctor then states:

OH (Open) or (Closed) Brawl - State rank, name, combat dice, hit points & strike.

- The Initiator's attack (that started this) was the first action of the combat, so the attacked goes now.
- Order will always go: Initiator, Primary Target, Everyone else (if OPEN and they roll an Initiative to place their order).
- Proctor should keep up with player's Strikes so you know if it is a hit or miss.
- NOTE: An Open brawl allows anyone who is in the vicinity to state and join. A Closed brawl is just between you and the person you attacked.
- NOTE: If this is a drunken brawl, you lose your Quickness Trait Bonus!
- NOTE: When you fall to 0 or Negative hit points, your character is only knocked out for a few minutes, not dead.

Hit Points = Half your Dice + Endurance Trait Bonus + Willpower Trait Bonus
Strike = 1d20 + Trait Bonus
Damage = Rank Dice + Trait Bonus
Defense DC = 10 + Quickness Trait Bonus


How-To Fighting
- Roleplay your attack.
- Roll your d20 to see if you hit, add your Trait Bonus.
- State the final number.
- Proctor states if HIT or MISS.
- If your Strike is lower, you miss. End of turn.
- If your Strike is higher, you hit them.
- If you hit your target, roll your combat dice.
- Add your Strength (melee) bonus to your roll.
- State the end number of your roll + Trait Bonus for Proctor.


Example
Tom: Walking into the tavern he could see his one time friend drinking at a back table. Tom thought he was going to able to stand seeing the man that defiled his daughter, but watching Bob sitting there....laughing.....drinking....Tom felt his blood go hot.

Pain seared across the side of his face, watering his eyes and filling his mouth with the taste of blood. The force of the blow knocked both he and his chair upon the ground. Blinking wildly he looked up to see Tom standing over him, narrowing his eyes, he knew what this was about. "She's all grown up, Tom! She can make her own mind!" He still had that mug in his hand, one that he set to good use. Throwing it wildly up towards Tom's face so that he could stand and get his feet beneath him.

Tom: The mug passed by with only a glancing blow, just enought o leave his ear stinging as he watched Bob get up from the ground. Now sooner had Bob stood up then did Tom rush him. Sinking his shoulder into Bob's stomach as he drove his legs beneath him. Carrying Bob across the small space to crash against one of the tavern's support pillars.
