B-Grade Combat

COMBAT

• The combat system in B-Grade is a variant of ORE combat (and builds on the previous work i have done on torglike). Here is the combat system. Still a work in progress. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
• Founding Principles:

1. Combat should be fast and abstract rather than specific
2. Combat should have room for stunts, manuevering, and have a pulp/high adventure/action movie feel.
3. Combat should be fairly simple but needs variety

A NOTE ON SPECIAL DICE AND OPTIONAL RULES

• Master Dice are available but are now much rarer and are linked with flaws. You get them at character creation when you choose a template (class). Not all characters get them and only at a price. In B-Grade i have renamed them Hammer Time (HTD) dice in tribute to Hammer films (plus i like the idea of saying Hammer time as often as possible during combat..)
• No squishing dicepools
