If the second character rolled a 5 there total would become 13 (5 + 8), wthe finial intitive would then be 17 (30-13) for the second character.

	===Manuevers===		===Manuevers===
			Manuevers are specific often used and specifically useful actions. They can be a punch, a kick, a thrust of a sword or the firing of a bow. Each Manuever is different and the manuevers of different individuals is unique to that individual. There are however some basic manuevers that are common to most members of a species. For example most humans know how to throw a punch (yes there are substantial differences in ability but most understand the basic mechanics), while pretty much every bear you meet will know how to bite.

			Each Manuever has a number of statistics:<br>

			'''Related Skill'''<br>
			This is the skill that is used when determining a characters base proficency at performing a specific manuever.

			'''Action Cost(AC)'''<br>
			This is the inititive cost of the manuever in question.

			'''Offensive Adjustment'''<br>
			This is the modifier for any attack rolls made using the manuever, it is directly added to the related skill value.

			'''Defensive Adjustment'''<br>
			this is the modifier for the users base defensive value.

			'''Damage'''<br>
			This is the basic damage done with the manuever so long as all basic conditions are met.

			'''Effects'''<br>
			This is any other effects that the manuever causes, sometimes it is special damage other times it is simply a conditional modifier but whatever it is if it doesn't fall into one of the other categories then it belongs here.

			Combat is done a little differently then in most games. This system relies on a principle of combat flow rather then the simple trading of blows.

			# The character then adds the Action Cost (AC) of the manuever to his inititive
			# Go back to 2 and continue until there is a successful disengagment or combat ends.

			===Inititive===
			Each character has an inititive score and methodology, this score determines how quickly they can act from a disengaged posture. Since this is the starting point


			===Postures===
			Postures are representative of the characters current approach to the encounter.

			There are several basic postures which known by every character; Balanced, Aggressive, and Defensive. There are also many advanced postures used by those with advanced combat training.

			'''Balanced'''<br>
			'''Modifiers''': None<br>
			This is the basic posture and provides no bonuses but also has no disadvantages.

			'''Aggressive'''<br>
			'''Modifiers''': This character is unable to apply defensive manuevers, the AC of the characters offensive manuevers are 1/2 (rounded up) normal<br>
			The character takes a relentless approach, attacking without thought to defense.

			'''Defensive'''<br>
			'''Modifiers''': -4 to all offensive manuvers, +4 to all defensive manuvers<br>

			===Specific Applications of Attributes===

			====Strength====
			When applying strength checks make sure to note that unless the character possesses the ability to apply an unnatural level of leverage (one not proportional to his wieght and position) then even the strongest individuals can accomplish little.

			Consider the physics of a 200lbs man trying to lift a two ton boulder, it is entirely within the realm of posibility for the a 200lbs constract approximating a man to have the physical power to create enough force to lift a boulder, but unless that individual is capable of getting under the boulder in some way they certienly wouldn't be able to simply bend over and pick it up.

	There are a number of different types of skills and a number of different ways to use them. This section is about the use of basic skills such as Lock Picking(3/-2) which is an agility skill and is called a immediate effect skill, which simply means that you use the skill against a pre determined target(based on the quality of the lock) and in very short order you know wether you have had an effect. This type of skill and skill roll is the easist and most straight forward.		There are a number of different types of skills and a number of different ways to use them.

			\| Width="400px" \|Example: Galaius is a master swordsmith(3/-1) from the town of Metia, He has an intellegence of 7 and a swordsmith(3/-1) skill of 7, he also has a master forge and a great deal of time which provide him with a circumstance bonus of +3 to his roll. To create a regular sword takes one day under normal circumstances but since he is taking extended time he will spend up to 3 days creating one. For every 6 hours at the forge he must roll (as determined by the skill) so he must roll a total of 6 times (a maximum of 12 hours per day, also as determined by the skill), he rolls 9, 14, 12, 15, 10, and 8. The difficulty for creating a sword is 20, and since his totals after adjustment for skill and intellegence are 25, 30, 28, 31, 26, 24 he has more then successed, his total overage for the use of this skill (the amount by which he beat his required number) is 5+10+8+11+6+4 for a total of 44. Thus he has created a mastercraft weapon, indeed master galaius has created a truely magnificent blade which provides a number of bonuses to its wielder.

	There are also a number of different skills which a character may have to make several or even many rolls for over and extended period of time to determine there effect. For the most part these skills have to do with the creation of items, weapons, armour, magic wands all require time, facilities, money, and rolls. Each of these skills can present a number of modifiers depending on the circumstances under which the items are being created.

Most extended rolls involve a difinitive time span, a number of checks and an aggragate overage. The same check is rolled a number of times and the total by which the character successeds (while noteing any failures for side effects) is used to determine the extent to which a character successeds.

	Most MU,DE skill rolls follow this line to some extent, they are most likely the most complex of all the skill rolls and are fairly rarely used.		Most MU,DE skill rolls follow this line to some extent, they are most likely the most complex of all the skill rolls and are fairly rarely used.
