The [Turn Order] within an [Action Block] is determined by [Maximum Speed Points]. Characters act in descending order of [Maximum Speed Points] with the character with the highest [Maximum Speed Points] going first.

If two or more characters have the same [Maximum Speed Points], they should roll 3d6 against each other to determine who goes first at the start of battle, with the higher roll going first. All ties are re-rolled until there is a clear [Turn Order].

For multiple weapons, the "Weight" page calculates the character's [Weight Penalty].

[Current Strength Points] - At the beginning of battle, a character's [Current Strength Points] are restored to the character's [Maximum Battle Strength Points].

When a character needs to perform a [To Hit Roll], the character rolls 2d6 for the [Base To Hit Roll], or 1d6 for the [Base To Hit Roll] of a [Shotgun].

The character then adds the [To Hit Bonus] to the [Base To Hit Roll] to determine the [To Hit Roll].

The [To Hit Roll] must exceed the target's [Passive Evasion] in order for the attack to hit the target. If the character is performing a [Dodge] as a [Defensive Action], then the attack must beat the target's [Active Evasion].

The [Damage Dealt] of the attack is reduced from the target's [Current Health Points]. This may result in the target becoming [Unconscious] or needing to roll an [Insanity Roll].

[Critical Hit] - An attack counts as a [Critical Hit] if the character rolls an 12 on the [Base To Hit Roll].

The [To Hit Roll] must also successfully hit the target.

The [Damage Dealt] of the [Critical Hit] is calculated as double the [Base Damage Dealt] plus double the [Damage Dealt Bonus] minus double the [Damage Reduction]. If the [Damage Dealt] is calculated to be less than 0, then the [Damage Dealt] is 0.
