 [5] You can see his leg wound is bleeding profusely. As it is, it looks like he's losing around 5 hitpoints a round.

[5] You can see that Pete is on his last legs, semi-literally. 15-25 HP left. by your estimate

You are at 17 HP. Your eyes are gouged. Current penalty to all defensive actions is -3. Penalty to DODGING or BLOCKING strikes is -4.

[2] It's hard to notice anything with literal thumbs in your eyes.

You are at 38 HP. The bleeding in your leg has worsened, you are now losing 10HP a round.

[6] You reason that your opponent, thrashing in pain, cannot possibly see your attacks coming. Strikes in particular will be harder for him to DODGE or BLOCK.

You can see that he is nearly dead. He is at around 12-18 HP. Not long now.

[6] Every last neuron in your brain is firing, desperately searching for any advantage to keep you alive. You only have -1 to defensive rolls from the pain now.

 [5] You can see that your opponent is grasping at every last straw in order to stay alive, to the point that pain probably isn't even affecting their judgement.

You also realize that if they dig into the wound on your left hand, they can break your choke hold. And by now, they must have noticed that your leg is bleeding out.

 You are at 24 HP

[5] In terms of ability to choke you out, Jack is still in good condition. But, his leg is bleeding out steadily. You'd estimate they have 35-50 HP

 You are at 49 HP

[2] Fuck, you were this close. Not much else to say, gotta regain the momentum. Dammit, your pants are getting soaked from the blood.

[3] It's hard to see with your opponent bearing down on you. Even in all the confusion, you know that if he gets
a hold on you, DODGING no longer becomes an option.

[4] You can tell that the pain your opponent is in will make them a bit slower. Might be all the edge you need.

You are at 41 HP. You are choking. You can no longer make dodge rolls. Resisting suffocation requires CONSTITUTION, and breaking out of the choke requires STRENGTH, or a critical damage roll with a strike.

[3] It's hard to notice anything about your opponent while the world is going black.

You are at 67 HP. If you want to continue with the suffocation, you need to choke as an attack each turn. Doing anything else with your hands removes the suffocation state.

The wound in your leg continues to bleed.

[2] You are very desperate to end this. Seeing red, it's hard to notice anything about your opponent apart from they've got a throat that needs crushing.

[1] The pain resumes in your right leg again. Jesus fuck that hurts. [-1 to all defense rolls]

[5] You check behind you, and see no other people. You think there's some items hidden amidst the grass, but as to the specifics you'd need to check closer.

You can tell that Pete is in a LOT of pain right now.

[1] Your exertion causes your right leg to shoot up in pain. Currently [-2] to defense rolls.

You are at 76 HP

[3] Ow, that shard of branch hurt a bit. It's hard to pay attention to your opponent, so you don't really notice anything new.

[2] You're in a lot of pain right now, it's hard to concentrate.

[1] You live for this shit. The elation you feel from snapping someone's limbs leaves you in a state of bliss. The outside world may as well not exist [-1 to defense rolls until you're knocked out of it.]

[1] Jesus Christ, it hurts. The world is spinning. You're trying not to pass out [-1 to defense rolls].

[6] You can easily tell that with your extra range, it's gonna be even harder for your opponent to dodge, provided you're hitting with the branch itself.

The surprisingly well balanced tree branch feels good in your hands, and you snap out of your sadistic reverie. [Penalty removed]

[5] You can tell that your opponent, stepping out from the shadows, is well-built. His muscles stretch the flannel shirt he's wearing, but he doesn't move with much grace.

You get the impression that he wants to close distance as much as possible [+1 to Dodge].

[4] You notice that your opponent is shirtless, lean but bald. He moves with skittish, bouncy energy. Not much muscle to his frame, however.

You have lost 7 hitpoints. You are now at 73 hitpoints. Your head, your torso, and your limbs, are all still functioning.

[6] You notice that even though Jack has the dominant position on top of you, holding onto your waist, your oily body might give you an advantage in slipping out of his grasp [+1 to escape].

[3] You can tell that your opponent was hurt, but from your position on top and behind them on the floor, you can't gauge exactly how hurt. Right now, you have the dominant position. [+1 to executing an attack from this position]

[2] You notice this man staring at you, but he's in shadow, so its hard to make out anything other than approximate size and shape.

[3] There's nothing around you of note, just a park bench and a tree, plus a streetlamp near your opponent.

Your current health is 80

In the event of an attack, do you prefer to DODGE or BLOCK?

[3] You can see that your opponent is a man. It's hard to tell anything noteworthy about them, but at least you can see they're not carrying any visible weapons on them.

[6] You're next to a streetlamp, and between you and your opponent is a bench and a tree off to the side. Underneath the tree, you see a large wooden branch.

Your current health is 80

In the event of an attack, do you prefer to DODGE or BLOCK?

Stats

Each player gets 3 stats:


STRENGTH- Responsible for all grappling checks, all checks involving brute strength ( like breaking off a table leg, or picking up one end of a car ), and for determining the damage of strikes.

DEXTERITY- Responsible for landing all striking checks, and using the DODGE action, can allow for complete evasion of strikes and damage.

CONSTITUTION- Responsible for determining initial health point total, and using the BLOCK
 action, can be used to mitigate damage from strikes ( but not completely eliminate them ).


Each stat gets one dice allocated to them: a D6, a D8, and a D12. You get to decide which dice corresponds to which stat, allowing you to prioritise what you want your fighter to be good at. Natural 1 is a catastrophic failure, Natural Crit leads to good things for you.

The Dice are not a fixed number. They are a range of numbers, with the biggest range being something you reserve for the stat you want to use the most.


All other actions, such as improvising weapons, perception checks, hiding, cheating to gain an advantage, etc. will use a D6. Roll higher than 3 to succeed, with 6 being a critical roll.

Turns

ALL ACTIONS WILL BE PLACED IN SPOILERS. Operating on trust system, players won't look at each other's actions.

Each turn starts with a Perception Roll. This passive roll allows for each player to:


- search for items/their hiding opponent/view their surroundings. Actions requiring active focus need to be specified in their turn ( i.e. "I search for a weapon/I look for a vantage point/I try to follow a bloodtrail"


- See the state of their opponent. Depending on how good the roll is, you can get a gauge of how much damage they've sustained, what their specific strengths are, if they're hiding a weapon or trap, and what their strengths are as a fighter.


- See moments of opportunity. I as the GM can give you advice if you roll well on your passive perception what courses of action will have certain advantages ( if you've got the right kind of weapon/are in a better position/if your opponent is in a precarious position/etc )

Perception rolls will be in spoilers, and only the player it's meant for can read them ( plus the non-playing audience ).


Actions will be available to be seen by all. This is where all visible attacks, actions, and events happen. Anything seen outside of a spoiler bubble is assumed to be seen by everybody.


Potential actions:

STRIKE: Using dexterity, land a punch, kick, elbow, knee, headbutt, weapon based strike, etc. Strength roll determines damage, plus any environmental factors and advantages.

GRAPPLE: Wrestling and groundfighting. Uses strength, can be used to tackle, throw, enter into limb locks, chokes, dragging, . etc.

DODGE: Uses dexterity. Exceeding your opponent's attack roll by any amount leads to no damage.

BLOCK: Uses constitution. Exceeding your opponent's attack roll by any amount leads to half damage, but exceeding the attack roll by 4 or more leads to only one third damage, rounded down.



Feel free to add flavour text to the above, as long as you make clear what it is you're trying to do.



Other actions can range from running, hiding, improvising weapons, spitting in your opponents eye, lighting them on fire, etc. Ask in your spoilered turn and I'll let you know about any specifics regarding it.




Following each action sequence, is another perception roll. This shows players what damage is done to them, and any new thing they've noticed about their opponent after the attack.

1. If a striking/grappling roll is a crit, the number of the attack roll is added to their damage roll.

2. If the damage roll is a crit, an effect is placed on the opponent ( crippled limb, blinded, nausea, bleeding, extreme pain ). Status effects will be placed as needed if major damage occurs regardless of crit ( in the event of boens being broken, appendages being ripped off, stuff that makes sense ).

3. A crit on a dodge roll, allows for the person dodging to get a second attack roll.

4. A crit on a block roll, results in the damage dealt being reflected back on the attacker, wholesale.

5. Critical failures will result in some sort of damage or penalty to the person who made it.
