would do 1-6 points of damage before being modified

by the armor of your target.

Damage Resistance - This is the general amount of

damage that your character is strong enough to just

shrug off. Every attack will be reduced by this

percentage. In conjunction with armor, which will

have it’s own Damage Resistance and another stat

called Damage Threshold (see page 135), every

attack will do less damage to your character’s Hit

Point total. Example: Your character is hit for 10

points, a Damage Resistance of 10% would reduce

that to 9 points.

Poison Resistance - The amount of poison your

character takes is reduced by this percentage. If

your character takes 20 points of poison, and has a

PR of 20%, then the final amount of poison taken

would be 16 points. Over time, this 16 points will

be reduced to 0 and your character will no longer

be affected by poison. The more points of poison

that affects your character, the less amount of

time before you take damage from the poison.

Radiation Resistance - This stat reduces the amount

of radiation your character is exposed to by this

percentage. This stat can be temporarily increased

by taking Rad-X, a chem. Some types of armor will

also affect the amount of radiation damage your

character is exposed to. This statistic will not

help against previously exposed radiation.

Sequence - The greater the value of this statistic,

the more likely your character is to go first in a

turn of combat. Generally, the character that

starts combat gets an action and then all critters

that are involved in that combat are sequenced (get

it) into a list. The critter with the highest

Sequence value goes first on the list, and it works

its way down from there. A high Sequence does not

mean that a character gets to go multiple times

before slower Sequenced characters. The larger the
