Combat in MELEEMAGES:

Attacker uses a d10 for Hit roll, Defender uses a d6 for Evasion roll.
If Hit > Evasion, Defender is hit and receives damage.

---

Order of Turns in MELEEMAGES:

Everyone posts their targets, then GM resolves the duels by the order in which they were posted.
If someone is killed, they're removed from the game, while their killer recovers 10 Health and learns one random Spell of the fallen enemy.
The combat continues until there's only one MELEEMAGE standing, who is then declared the CHAMPION OF MELEEMAGES!

Damage Types and Resistances:

Each weapon has a Damage type, expressed as three-letter combination in a square bracket. Through various means, you can obtain Resistances to these (or even Weaknesses!)
There are 5 damage types: Physical [PHS], Electrical [ELC], Fire [FIR], Ice [ICE] and Magic [MAG].

Resistances use + to indicate their level:
none: You receive normal damage from Fire.
[+FIR]: You receive 25% damage less (rounded down) from Fire (the lowest possible is 1).
[++FIR]: You receive 50% damage less (rounded down) from Fire (the lowest possible is 1).

There is also Poison status.
At end of each Turn a d6 is rolled: you receive (1-5) damage from Poison or the Poison is removed (6).
