Combat Rules

Combat in Resurgence is a turn-based D20 system automated by GP HUD

Keep a post order. Everyone involved in the combat gets to post before you post again. When it is your turn, that is when you address any dice outcomes.
Only one action (attack, disengage, etc) and reaction (defense or damage) may be made per post.
All attacks are attempts the outcome determined by the roll of the dice.
The dice is not a flat roll but instead are accompanied by a bonus based on selected species and where you placed your attribute points. So consider it carefully.
Lastly, the hud will tell you who wins a interaction and will apply damage, for narrative sake, if you wish to take a hit anyway, using "Take Hit" option.

Roll Types

The combat structure uses actions to govern how much you can do at one time. You can take only one action at a time.

Actions can come up in other situations, too, for example: in a social interaction, you can try to Influence a creature or use the Search action to read the creature’s body language, but you can’t do both at the same time.

If a rolls has a direct counter listed in its description it will auto roll that dice, no addition rolls needed.

Attack

Attack with a weapon, magic, or an Unarmed Strike.

This uses your strength stat, and is subjective narratively, It can be you physicality or magic if more magical.

Disengage

Attempt to Flee from the conflict at hand. This uses your action and dexterity, and can be used once per turn.

Rengage can be used to counter this.

Reengage

Reengage is used to counter Disengage and also uses Dexterity. Reengage is a form of attack to prolong a encounter.

Should it fail even just once. The fight is over.

Utilize

Use a nonmagical object. This being something like a healing potion.

WIP

Saving Throws

This allows a characters to roll a specific stat without a target. They may be requested when the standard DC, such as in the Search Action do not apply.

Perception

This uses your WIS against the Targets Dexterity and is used to try and notice someone trying to hide, pickpocket, or perform other stealth related activities.

Help

This allows a character with the healer class or feat to heal another player in or out of combat. Healing is not always guaranteed to work and uses your Wisdom as a bonus.

Influence

Influence uses your Charisma for the following types of checks. (Deception, Intimidation, or Persuasion) and is countered by Wisdom (Insight, Animal Handling).

Search

Search uses your Intelligence and is used for the following types of checks to search your knowledge on a subject. (Arcana, Investigation, History, Nature, Religion)

* Search will likely be mainly used during sim events but may be used privately. Be sure to check with your roleplay partner so you give accurate information ICly if you succeed. the number to beat is always 15. Unless specified by a even host.

Take Hit

This option is to do damage to yourself. Why? you may ask. Simple, for narrative sake. If you for instance dodge but don't want to for narrative sake, you can override any dodge you make with it

It should be noted that, Attack and Reengage, both do damage, so defending players should consider their actions carefully. Is it wiser to fight back? To Flee? or simply lay down and concede. Everyone will have different combination of stats so you may hold better chances against one person compared to another.
