Fellow Dice Masters, I as you how you do combat in RTDs.

Spoiler: Mine (click to show/hide)

I do two rolls. Roll 1 shows the horizontal aim, Roll 2 shows vertical.

Horizontal: 1=Right 2=Middle 3=Left
Vertical: 1=Foot 2=Lower leg 3=Upper Leg 4=Chest 5=Head

Also, there is a chance of missing too! Example : Rolling a 3 and a 5 will go by the head, and a 2 and 1 will go in between the feet.

I usually slam a roll off in-if the attacker rolls higher, a damage roll is made and things explode.

Here's what I used.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Roll to attack:
1 makes you easier to attack (-1 to your dodge)
2 fails
3 hits but add a +1 to dodge roll
4 hits
5 hits and adds a -1 to dodge roll
6 hits, adds a -1 to dodge roll, and either makes you easier to attack, or increases the number of targets to include friendlies (depending on the supposed power of the attack)

Roll to dodge:
1 Step right into the attack, -1 to damage
2 You are hit, damage roll
3 You almost get out of the way, +1 to damage
4 You dodge
5 You dodge, and land in a good position (+1 to next attack/dodge)
6 You dodge and counterattack, but land in poor position (-1 to next attack/dodge)

Damage roll
1-Critical damage (gain "near death" effect)
2-Bad hit
3-Standard damage
4-Slightly hurt
5-A scratch
6-No effect

If you have the "near death" status effect at the end of a turn, you get a roll to dodge death
<=1-You die
2-You've but a moment left to live(-2 to dodge death rolls)
3-You've taken a turn for the worst(-1 to dodge death rolls)
4-You're hanging on, barely
5-You're not doing great, but things are a little bit better(+1 to dodge death rolls)
6-You're starting to go into a stable condition(+2 to dodge death rolls)
7-You're still not up to par, but death is receding quickly(+3 to dodge death rolls)
>=8-You've stabilized (lose "near death" status)

NPC's of course, just get a damage roll, and it's more of "what do I feel like at the time"

0: You miss, the enemy may make an extra attack. Potential for other negative side effects.
1: You miss, potential negative side effects.
2: You miss.
3: You miss, -1 to damage.
4: You hit.
5: You hit.
6: You hit, +1 to damage.
> 6: You hit, +1 to damage. Chance of ignoring armor, etc.

Spoiler: Damage (click to show/hide)

0: You do no damage, may fumble your weapon. Potential for other negative side effects.
1: You do scratch damage, potential negative side effects.
2: You do scratch damage.
3: You do minor damage. Cannot be lethal.
4: You do damage.
5: You do damage. May cause positive side effects.
6: You do extreme damge. May cause positive side effects.
> 6: You do extreme damage. Chance of instant death.

My games usually have a lot of modifiers, so I keep it pretty fluid.

Attacker's roll - defender's roll = damage dealt. If the defender rolls higher than the attacker, subtract one and they counter for that much damage.

[wolfchild]

Attacker's Roll a 5 gives a penalty to dodge: 6 makes it crit if it hits
Parry/Block: if they have soemthing to parry or block with, they get a roll to beat the attack roll
Dodge: if parry/block fails or does not happen, roll a 4, 5 or 6 not to get hit, 6 makes you do something stupid though: 1 makes the hit a crit
Damage: Roll and scale the weapon's damage, a 6 is a crit a 1 makes it a glancing blow
Armour: If the victim is wearing the apropriate armour, roll to see how effective it is

However I have relitive damage/armour values for everything n my game which is a little more complicated
