BESM System Review
The Combat Flow Chart
Here's a quick run-down of combat sequence:
A) The GM asks everyone to roll initiative to determine order of go
- Roll 1d6 and add your ACV and any bonuses you have
- Tell the GM what number you end up with
- Wait for the GM to tell you when you go
B) The GM tells you it's your turn to go
- Your character can hold their action
- The character can act at any time during this combat
phase after their initiative turn occurs
- The character can either refuse to act, attack an
opponent, or perform a non-combat action
- Once the character has acted in this combat phase, or
the combat phase is ended, the hold is used up; go to C)
- Your character can perform a non-combat action
- Describe what your character will be doing to the GM
- Your character's action for this combat phase is
concluded; go to C)
- Your character can attack an opponent, with defensive actions
performed by the attacked resolved immediately after your attack
- Roll less than or equal to 2d6, including any bonuses
the character may have
- If your roll is less than or equal to your
adjusted ACV, the attack succeeds
1) The defending character may chose
not to defend, or...
2) the defending character may attempt to
block, dodge, or otherwise avoid being
hit, including any defensive skills it
may have
a) If the defense is successful,
the attack delivers no
damage
b) If the defense is unsuccessful,
delivered damage is equal to the
attacker's ACV plus any bonuses or
modifiers, and minus any armor the
defender may be wearing
c) Your character's action is
concluded for this combat phase;
go to C)
- If your roll is greater than your adjusted
ACV, the attack fails
1) The attack does no damage to the
defendant
2) Your character's action is concluded
for this combat phase; go to C)
C) Wait until all characters have taken their actions. The combat
phase concludes after everyone has taken their actions
- The combat is resolved; combat ends
- The combat is still ongoing: start over at A).
Lather, rinse, repeat -- that's it! Now for some tactical suggestions.
