Area of Effect
There are several types of Area of Effects, all different shapes and sizes.
While each may only be slightly different the distinctions are likely life or death.
AoE Types:Impact, Engulf, Emanation, Aura, Falling, Rising.
AoE Shapes and Sizes: Specified, Line, Rail, Cone, Cube, Sphere, Disk, and Trail.
Adjacent
Any Tile connected to the Tile your character occupies is an Adjacent Tile.
If an Effect may only Target an Adjacent Tile, even if equipped with a Reach or Ranged weapon, you may still only Target the Adjacent Tile.
With Portals and Gates, Adjacent is the Tile directly on the other side of the Portal or Gate, only if the Portal or Gate is at least as wide as a Tile.
Target
When we declare a Target we use an (v:20 Accuracy) check to see if we Hit.
The (v:20 Accuracy) must exceed the Target’s Evasion to Hit.
If the (v:20 Accuracy) check equals the Evasion of the Target, it is considered a Half-Hit.
A Half-Hit does half damage and half of all effects that would have been applied at determination.
Evasion
We use static Evasion to determine whether or not Target attacks miss.
MIV has a myriad of bonuses and penalties that may apply to Evasion.
First, Evasion is equal to Agility + Awareness, with a minimum of (-3)
The Agility Attribute has a score range of -3 to +7
The Awareness Attribute has a score range of 0 to 20
Accuracy Checks
We use variable Accuracy checks to determine whether or not Target attacks hit.
MIV has a myriad of bonuses and penalties that may apply to Accuracy checks.
First would be the Accuracy Attribute.
The Accuracy Attribute has a score range of -3 to +7
The Variable used for Accuracy Checks is (v:20)
