*'''Attack Roll'''
**'''Success:''' role weapon damage + strength bonus.  Determine what is stopped/avoided by defense.  Role location and apply the damage minus any applicable armor.
**'''Special Success:''' this works the same as for a normal success with a bonus, depending on weapon type.
***'''Impaling Weapon:''' roll twice weapon damage + strength bonus.  The weapon is lodged in the enemy and will affect the enemy's motion negatively until removed.  The weapon may not be used until removed.
***'''Slashing Weapon:''' the weapon does maximum damage + rolled strength bonus.
***'''Crushing Weapon:''' the weapon does rolled damage plus either maximum strength bonus or rolled strength bonus, but all damage is applied as knockback damage.
**'''Critical Success:''' determine damage as for a Special Success.  The player can choose to either roll location and bypass all armor, or choose a location but armor is applied to damage.
**'''Failure:''' no result, though declared defense is still rolled.
**'''Fumble:''' mishap happens, either from a table or from GM ruling.

* '''Parry Roll'''
** '''Success:''' the parrying weapon is interposed.  If the parrying weapon's AP is higher than the rolled damage, the attack is deflected without direct damage occurring.  If the damage is higher than the AP of the parrying weapon, then all excess damage is applied as a normal hit and the parrying weapon loses 1 AP.
** '''Special Success:''' some weapons entangle the attacking weapons.  Bladed weapons do normal weapon damage (no strength bonus) to the attacking weapon.
** '''Critical Success:''' entire attack is blocked.  No damage will go through.  Special Success results also apply.
**'''Failure:''' no result.
**'''Fumble:''' mishap happens, either from a table or from GM ruling.

* '''Dodge Roll'''
** '''Success:''' lower a successful attack roll by one level of success.
** '''Special Success:''' lower a successful attack roll by two levels of success.
** '''Critical Success:''' avoids any attack completely.  May allow a riposte.
