STATS:

Strength = Straight bonus to Melee Damage (1 Strength = +1 damage). Strength+6 = Amount of items you can carry.
Perception = Straight bonus to Hit chance with all weapons (1 Perception = +1 Hit). Darkness and Bright Light affect Perception
Speed = Amount of Actions per turn that you can perform is equal to Speed (rounded down). Each Skill Point spent increases Speed by 0.3. Your Evasion is equal to Speed+1 (rounded down).
Endurance = Endurance increases Hit Points and Natural Armor which lowers Melee and Ranged Damage. Your Hit Points are equal to 10 + (Endurance x3). Your Natural Armor is equal to Endurance/2 (rounded down).
Arcana = Each point of Arcana increases amount of Spell Points (3 SP per 1 Arcana) you receive as Dhampyr or Sorceress. It also increases Magic Damage (1 Arcana = 1 Magic damage). Priests cannot spend points on Arcana.
Piety = Each point of Piety increases amount of Spell Points (3 SP per 1 Piety) you receive as Hunter or Priest. It also inreases your Magic Defense (1 Piety = 1 Magic Defense). Sorceresses cannot spend points on Piety.

Health Points: If these fall to 0, you die.
Spell Points: You need to spend those to cast Spells.

ACTION ROLLS:

Whenever you want to perform some detailed action, we roll a six-sided die and add whichever Stat necessary, then weigh the result against the Difficulty set by the GM. If the roll result is equal or higher than Difficulty, you succeed.

For example if you want to spot a dark-hooded figure between trees during early evening, which sets it at (examples now!) Difficulty of 8, we take your Perception score of 4 and roll a dice.
If you roll at least 4 on the dice, together with Perception the result is 8, equal to Difficulty; thus you succeed in your action.

HIT ROLL, DAMAGE AND WOUNDS:

Hit roll: A six-sided die is rolled and then your Hit chance bonus is added. Then, your enemy rolls a four-side die and their Evasion is added. If your Hit roll is higher than your enemy's Evasion roll, you score a hit.

After that, a Target roll is performed with eight-sided die to determine which body part is struck. You can specify which body part you are targeting, but that comes with -1 (Torso) or -2 (other bodyparts) penalty to your Hit chance.

This is default Target roll pattern for humanoids (other beings, like quadrupeds or non-humanoids will have different patterns):

Torso: 1-3. Normal damage.
Left Hand: 4. Normal damage.
Right Hand: 5. Normal damage.
Left Leg: 6. Normal damage.
Right Leg: 7. Normal damage.
Head: 8. Double damage.

If you deal at least 5 Damage, there's 30% chance that you will deliver a Critical Wound. This causes additional damage to the enemy depending on the body part.
Left/Right Hand: Item carried in this hand is dropped; no items can be carried by this hand till Critical Wound is healed.
Left/Right Leg: -1 to Evasion and -0.5 to Speed. If both legs receive Critical Wound, Evasion is lowered to 0 and Speed are lowered to 0.5
Head: Enemy loses it's ability to act for 2 turns.

If you miss the target, he/she/it counters for free. This only applies to Melee attacks; Ranged attacks cannot be countered this way.

AILMENTS AND SUCH:

Bleeding: You lose 1 Health Point at the end of the turn, then there's 50% chance that Bleeding will stop. Each time you receive at least 3 non-Magical damage, you start to Bleed.
Poison: You lose 1 Health Point at the end of the turn until you're cured or die. You can get Poisoned from few sources, like bite of rabid animal, poisoned food, etc.

THROWING WEAPONS:

With proper skill, you can throw Daggers and Axes at your enemies. This is special case of ranged weapons. Unlike Crossbows and Firearms, thrown Daggers and Axes have low base damage; to counter that, when throwing, half of your Strength is added to thrown weapon's damage.

ACTIONS AND WHAT THEY ARE:

In combat (and outside of it), an Action is anything you want to be done. An attack, weapon throw, item use, item recovery, interaction with levers/furniture. As long as you bold it, it's an Action.
During Combat, the amount of Actions you can perform per Turn depends on your Speed. For example, if your Speed is 2, you can perform 2 Actions per Combat Turn.

Actions are processed linearly. For Example, if Adam can make 2 Actions, Bob 1 and Charles 2, the order will be Adam, Adam, Bob, Charles, Charles - and then it will be Enemy Turn.

Called Actions (gained by Skills) consume Actions as well; you cannot Call several times in one Action.

RELOADING:

After you shoot with Crossbow or Firearm, you have to spend time on reloading the weapon.
Crossbows require 2 Actions, Firearms 3. Firearms also consume 1 use of Bag of Gunpowder. Quick Reload skill of Hunters reduces the required amount of Actions.

DUAL-WIELDING:

You can wield 2 one-handed weapons at once for quicker use in combat, however this incurs -0.4 Speed penalty. Dual-Wielding skill of Hunters and Dhampyrs nullifies that penalty.

You cannot wield a shield with two-handed weapons.

Effects from two Symbols of the same kind do not stack, nor the same effect of different Symbols is cumulative (for example, wearing Greek Cross and Latin Cross will only give you 25% chance to avoid damage from Magical Creatures, not 35%).

HUNTER:

Descendant of the Belmont Family or one of the associated families, Hunter specializes in close and ranged combat. They can learn minor spells and helpful skills along the way, but Hunters are always the true masters of pure combat.

Can wear Robes, Light and Heavy Armor.
Can wield Axes, Daggers, Swords, Crossbows, Firearms and Shields.
Can be Male or Female.
Extra 4 Health Points at start.

BACKGROUND:

It is year 1785... Darkness descends upon the lands of Wallachia. Plague ravages the countryside, dead are restless in their graves, and strange beings roam the woods to prey on hapless travelers. Dracula, Prince of Darkness, is thought to be alive again.

But the main branch of Belmont Family is now in hiding, their members too young or too old to tackle on the problem. Thus the fate of the world is in the hands of the Hellsing Association, whose chapters in numerous Catholic cities across Western Europe train able-bodied men and women to fight the Darkness.

ARRIVAL:

The starting group of 6 shall arrive by a black carriage in a border town in Wallachia, where they are to gather clues on recent sightings of beats in the forests surrounding Wallachian countryside.

From there, their quest will have them visit other settlements, ruined castles and mystical places, till they manage to find the root of all evil.

DEATH AND REPLACEMENT:

If your Character dies, the Hellsing Association shall send a replacement. Do not wonder how the Association knows that your comrade have perished - they have their ways.

Said person will be sent to the last human settlement that you have visited, and they shall arrive 2 days after the death of your comrade. Make sure to pick them up so they don't feel lonely and hapless in the backwater Wallachia!
