RED - A critter highlighted red is a possible enemy
within your character’s LOS and Perception range.
Proceed with caution. It’s possible that the
critter is neutral, and wants to have nothing to do
with you and your problems. It’s also possible
that the critter could be planning evil things to
do with your character’s corpse.
YELLOW - The critter is out of your character’s
LOS, but within Perception range. It will be
impossible for your character to attack this
critter, unless your character moves closer.
GREEN - This is a friendly critter. Don’t shoot!
NONE - If there is no highlight around a critter,
that particular character or creature is out of our
character’s LOS and Perception range.
* LOS is Line of Sight. This is a straight line
between two characters. If the line is blocked,
the characters are not in LOS of each other. LOS
is mutual. By definition, a character that has LOS
to a critter is within the LOS of the critter. LOS
can be blocked by walls, trees and other large
objects.
* Perception range is what your character can hear
or smell, in addition to see. It is possible for
your character to know that a critter is behind a
while, because your character can just perceive them.
Action Points
The number of actions you can take each turn are
determined by a character’s total number of Action
Points (AP), the more APs your character has, the
more things she can do.
You will spend your character’s APs when you
perform an action, when you are out of APs your turn
is over. Fortunately, you get all of your APs back
at the start of the next turn.
