\\
==== Hit and damage ====
~~TOC~~
When an attack is made, you first determine if the attack hit. The attacker uses their offensive formula pitted against the defensive formula of the defender. You roll any dice in your formula and for each dice that came up as a "4", "5", or "6", add one to your score. If the attacker's formula matches or exceeds the defender's formula, then the attack hits. The attacker then rolls their Damage formula, summing the value of each dice, and the damage is applied to the target

\\
====Damage types====

**Bludgeoning**\\
Blunt damage that hits you with physical force, causing bruises and broken bones. Critical attacks that deal bludgeoning damage cause the target to become [[conditions#staggered]] until they receive healing

**Burning**\\
Damage from heat or fire that causes varying degree burns, leaving scars. Critical attacks that deal burning damage cause the target to become [[conditions#burned]] until they receive healing. Conditions of extreme cold and frost can also cause the [[conditions#burned]] condition

**Piercing, Slashing**\\
A stabbing attack that punctures or cuts the skin, leaving scars. Critical attacks that deal piercing or slashing damage cause the target to [[conditions#bleeding|bleed]] until they receive healing or stanch the blood flow by some other means. The damage taken is equal to the number of damage dice rolled for the attack

**Electricity**\\
Electricity courses through your body, leaving spider web scarring. Critical attacks that deal electricity damage cause the target to become [[conditions#disoriented]] until they receive healing

**Ki**\\
Ki attacks do not deal physical damage. Instead, they disrupt the flow of ki through the body. Many victims of ki attacks describe them as incredibly painful. When you make an attack that deals ki damage, you may choose one of the seven chakras. The chosen chakra is blocked, rendering any [[keystones|keystone]] bound to that chakra ineffective. Critical attacks that deal ki damage cause the target to be [[conditions#ki blocked]] for 1 round

Creatures that have a blocked chakra may use a Standard action to immediately unblock a chakra

A creature who has 7 blocked chakras gains the [[conditions#ki blocked]] condition until they open at least one of their chakras

\\
====Critical rolls====
On a hit roll, when four or more of the dice are a "6", this is considered a critical roll

Critical rolls: 
  * Automatically hit
  * Grant [[combat#advantage]] on the damage formula
  * Double the non-dice portion of your damage formula
  * All dice in the resulting damage roll are [[exploding dice]]
  * You may re-roll all damage dice that roll a 1
  * A condition is applied to the target(s) according to the damage type, as seen in the table below

\\
^Damage Type^Critical Hit effects^
|Bludgeoning|Target is [[conditions#staggered]] until they receive healing|
|Burning|Target is [[conditions#burned]] until they receive healing|
|Electricity|Target is [[conditions#disoriented]] until they receive healing|
|Ki|Target is [[conditions#ki blocked]] 1 round|
|Non-Lethal|Target is [[conditions#staggered]] until they receive healing|
|Piercing|Target is [[conditions#bleeding]] until they receive healing|



\\
==== Non-lethal damage ====
When you initiate an attack or defensive action that will potentially result in damage, you may declare this attack to be a non-lethal attack, even after the attack is made. You direct your attacks to cause pain, strike pressure points, and otherwise incapacitate your opponent without doing any permanent damage

If you successfully hit with a non-lethal attack, you deal non-lethal damage. This damage counts as normal damage except that a creature that has suffered non-lethal damage and is reduced to zero hit points will fall unconscious instead of dying

Attacks that deal the "Ki" damage type are considered non-lethal attacks

Damage from non-lethal attacks can be removed via healing, after all lethal damage is repaired

\\
==== Bloodied condition ====
Whenver a creature has less than one third of their total hit points, they have [[combat#disadvantage]] on all rolls. This applies even if the damage is non-lethal, This condition is always visibly obvious

\\
===== Healing =====

When a creature is harmed, you can use your ki energy to heal them. Hydromancers and Pyromancers can learn these abilities which allow them to use heal another creature or themselves

If a creature is suffering from a disease or from the effects of a poison, see the [[Medicine]] skill

Wounds are caused by attacks that deal bludgeoning, piercing, slashing, electricity, or burning damage

To heal wounds, use the healing formula of your talent. The resulting number is applied to the target creature as restored hit points

If the creature was suffering negative effects from their wounds, such as [[conditions#bleeding]], the effects are removed

Non lethal damage is also healed, after lethal damage


\\
===== Hit points =====

Each creature has hit points, which represent its ability to withstand [[damage|damaging]] attacks. When a creature is the victim of an attack that deals damage, that damage is subtracted from the creatures current hit points

**Calculating Hit Points**\\
  - At level one, roll your [[species of the galaxy|species']] **Hit Point Formula** 
  - Additionally, at level one, you receive a bonus 6d6 hit points
  - After level one, each time you level up, roll your [[species of the galaxy|species']] **Hit Point Formula** 
  - After level twelve, you no longer gain new hit points when you level up

\\
**Example**\\
You create a level one Carragh with a **hit point formula** of //Res + 3d6 + 1// and a resolve modifier of 2
  * You roll your hit formula (3d6+1+2), and the result is [3]+[2]+[6]+1+2 = 14
  * You roll your bonus 6d6 hit points and the result is [1]+[4]+[2]+[6]+[3]+[1] = 17
  * Your hit point total at first level is 36 (14+17)

Your Carragh levels up to level 2 
  * You roll your **hit point formula** (3d6+1+2) and the result is [1]+[4]+[3]+1+2 = 11
  * You add 11 hit points to your hit points from your first level
  * Your hit point total at second level is 47 (36+11)

\\
**Healing**\\
When you receive healing, it adds an amount of hit points to your current hit points. Your current hit points may not exceed your total hit points at any time, extra healing is lost

\\
===== Death =====
When a creature's current hit point total falls below zero, that creature is [[conditions#dying]]. They can take no actions, though they are conscious and may have limited ability to speak
  * The GM secretly rolls 2d6 to determine the number of segments before the creature dies. If the creature receives enough healing to put its current hit point total above zero before these segements expire, the creature is no longer dying and regains consciousness. Otherwise, the creature dies
  * Each segment on what would be their turn, they take an additional 3d6 points of damage from their injuries, rolled by the dying player
  * Dying creatures cannot initiate new actions, have no [[combat#basic actions|Reaction]], and can take damage
  * When a creature is restored from the dying state, they are [[conditions#Staggered]] and [[conditions#Disoriented]] for 1 round

Note: If a creature has taken [[damage#non-lethal damage]] and their hit point total is reduced below zero, they fall [[conditions#unconscious]] instead of dying. If while unconscious the amount of lethal damage taken exceeds their total hit point pool, then the creature begins dying
