KitS Combat Rules

The Encounter and Rolling rule in Kingdoms in the Stars are as follows.

Each characters abilities are rated using six different stats, though only five of these stats affect encounters. They are:

POWER: The sheer destructive power of an ability.
SPEED: The speed and agility of an ability.
DURABILITY: The durability and toughness of an ability.
PRECISION:  The accuracy of an ability.
RANGE: The range at which an ability can reach.
POTENTIAL: The evolutionary potential of an ability. This has no effect in any given encounter, but a high rating indicates an ability that still has room to grow and become stronger.

A character's biochip ability is ranked from E-A in each of these stats. In an encounter, players will vote on a course of action that draws from one of these abilities (e.g "I use my power to kick the door down"). A character's rating in a certain stat affects the following roll as so:

A - ROLL 3 D20, AND TAKE THE HIGHEST RESULT
B - ROLL 2 D20, AND TAKE THE HIGHEST RESULT
C - ROLL 1 D20.
D - ROLL 2 D20, AND TAKE THE LOWEST RESULT
E - ROLL 3 D20, AND TAKE THE LOWEST RESULT

The degrees of success from these rolls are as follows:

1: CRITICAL FAILURE
2-5: DEFINITE FAILURE
6-10: MODERATE FAILURE
11-15: MODERATE SUCCESS
15-19: DEFINITE SUCCESS
20: CRITICAL SUCCESS
