'''Traits'''

Unnatural Stats become linear (+10 to rolls and +1 to stat bonus)

'''Dice rolls'''

Succeed if roll under, fail if over

DoS = tens digit rolled	
DoF = tens rolled – tens needed
Righteous Fury – on doubles, good if succeed, bad if not. Really bad.


'''Combat'''

Opposed roll to attack

Passive defense

Opposed Strength + Weapon  vs Tough + Armor for damage. DoS is the crit level taken.

Called shots ignored, use DoS to determine change of hit location, determine base location normally, each DoS can be used against the multiple hits table to shift 1 column right.

(Fast combat)
Ranges are: Close Combat (CC), Firefight (FF), Stand Off (SO x) where x is the ranges of the weapons.

Roll for position – Add WToF to resist


'''Weapons'''

Change ranges to Assault, Firefight, Long (1-3) [1 for rifles 2 for MGs, 3 for long range stuff]

Assign BS mods for each range [ex Pistol CC/A+0, FF-20 or Carbine CC-20, A+0, FF+0, L(1)-20]

Damage types: Power weapons do rending mostly, fists do impact.

Weight of Fire (WToF): replaces RoF, helps maneuver by pinning the enemy increases number of targets you can retaliate against/effect.s


'''Armor'''
Rolled as Damage Resistance

Has a S+T min to use

Requires a Talent: Light, Heavy, Powered


'''Skills'''
Make weapon talents into skills, use normal skill progression

Add +30 and +40 ranks (same cost as +20)

Only count highest bonus and highest penalty
