Roll TWO dice:

• Score UNDER total shown


on the table means
NO EFFECT

• Score EQUAL to total


means defender must
FALL BACK 1 MOVE

• Score OVER the total


shown above indicates that
the DEFENDER IS KILLED

Characters below Hero level


cannot roll on this table. Hero –
1 characters may attempt
fantasy combat, unless the
required roll to hit for a Hero is
12.

* May withdraw from combat if opponent dice score is NO EFFECT


@ Note that other magic users are at lesser values
For combat against men and smaller creatures, as well as special combat abilities, see the section pertaining to each particular type.

If there are two or more opposing


Wizards, determine which is the
stronger magician (by casting dice if
necessary). The stronger magician can
successfully cast a counter-spell with a
2d6 score of 7 or better, while a weaker
magician needs a score of 8, 9, 10 or
11, depending on his relative strength
(Seer, Magician, Warlock, Sorcerer,
Wizard, in increasing order of power).
Thus, a Seer attempting to counter the
spell of a Wizard needs to roll an 11 on
2d6 to counter the spell. A counter-
spell fully occupies a magician's
powers—he can cast no other spells
that round.

ORDER OF BATTLE
1. Determination of Surprise, Initiative, and any other encounter reaction. Retreats, routs, and fighting
withdrawals begin. Spell effects carried over from earlier rounds take place.
2. Projectiles, Spellcasting, and/or breath weapons in initiative order. Those with split move and fire may
movement (up to ½ move distance as in step 4) and then loose. Magic-users cannot move or direct a mount and cast
a spell in the same round. Casting magic-users struck by projectiles or engaged in melee lose their spell. Anyone
receiving damage such that their Hit Points are reduced to zero (0) or less are dead or unconscious and may take no
further action in the round.
3. Both sides move or take some action. Characters on either side can only move ½ their movement distance and
engage in melee or other activities in the same round unless they charge. Split move may move their other ½
movement distance.
4. Characters within melee distance fight 1 round of melee.
5. Spells that were started in steps 2-3 take effect.
7. New round begins.
