How a Fight Works

JoinA character or NPC is added to an encounter. The site snapshots their stats, skills, resources, equipment, and current wounds.

Acknowledge RiskLethal and Event Lethal fights require participant acknowledgement before the encounter can start.

StartThe encounter rolls initiative and sorts active actors into turn order.

Choose ActionOn a turn, resolve a weapon attack, approved ability, tactical action, or fear check.

DefendTargets use passive Dodge/Parry by default. If Reaction is available, active defense can roll 1d10 and then spends that Reaction.

Apply ResultHits create wound load, injuries, resource costs, conditions, and action log entries automatically.

AdvanceThe turn advances. At the start of a new round, Reactions refresh and Overwhelm resets.

Weapon AttackUse this for ordinary melee, firearms, improvised attacks, or any attack not tied to an approved custom ability.

Approved AbilityUse this for approved Techniques, Devil Powers, or Contract abilities. The site pulls the stored cost, range, skill, and modifiers from the sheet.

Tactical ActionMove changes range, Guard protects an ally with Reaction, and Assist gives an ally +2 to their next attack, up to +6.

Fear CheckUsed when a source forces terror or supernatural pressure. Failed checks add Shaken, Frightened, or Panicked conditions.
