Attacking:
To attack someone you would take the skill involved with the weapon you are using (like a sword chip would use the Melee Chip skill.) and roll that many d8’s to try to beat the Target Number. For every two successes you make the Attack does the damage listed. If you only make 1 success then you only do ½ damage.
Rules of 1 and 8:
All dice landing on 1 are automatic failures. If all dice land on 1 it is a disastrous mistake. If a dice lands on 8 you re-roll it and then add that number to the 8. This is used to beat Target Numbers higher then 8.
Opposed Tests:
Example: SilverMan.EXE is a fairly weak Navi when it comes to physical strength but he has to keep a gate shut so his friends can escape. The Navi trying to break through the gate, DiamondMan.EXE is a fairly though Navi. SilverMan.EXE has a strength score of 3 while Diamondman.EXE has a strength score of 5. SilverMan.EXE gets to roll 3 dice to try to beat a target number of 6 (DiamondMan.EXE’s strength + 1) more times then DiamondMan.EXE can beat the target number of 4 (SilverMan.EXE’s Strength +1) Having a strength of 5 DiamondMan.EXE can roll 5 dice….SilverMan.EXE seem’s to be in a lot of trouble.
Initiative = Quickness + Intelligence +1d8
Every Turn everyone’s initiative decreases by 3. Any characters that don’t have initiative that turn can’t take any actions until everyone runs out and Initiative is re-rolled. If the Navi moves before the Operator does and the Operator uses a Battle chip on his turn then it will manifest on the Navi’s next turn. (if he chooses so)
Delaying: A Character can delay his turn and watch how the battle unfolds. If he deems it fit he can intervene in the next combat phase of an ally. If he does so he moves before anyone in that combat does.
Ranged Combat:
The Target Number for Ranged combat is determined by how many range increments away the enemy is.
Short Range: 0 – 20 Meters Target Number 3
Medium Range: 21 – 50 Meters Target Number 5
Long Range: 51 – 90 Meters Target Number 7
Very Long Range: 91 – 120 Meters Target Number 10
Dodging:
To dodge in combat you take the skill linked to the weapon that the enemy is using as the target number. (If the enemy has Melee Chip 10 the Target number is 10) Dodging Ranged Attacks are harder though (Except for bombs and grenades) and they get a +2 to the target number. The Evade skill is used to dodge attacks.
Defaulting:
When you try to use a skill you don’t have you will have to default to the base attribute. Of course this implies a penalty. The target number increases by 3 when ever you default.
Battle Chips: Are temporary weapons and power-ups usable by Navi’s to help them in battle. Most Battle Chips can be bought but the rare ones can only be found in the net or after defeating a powerful enemy.
Example-
Cannon:
Cannon Type - Damage: 1d6 - Target Number: 5 - Duration: 1 Turn – Recoil: 2 - Cost: 100 Zenni
