Various other properties (these properties are considered either active or passive, actives are like attacks and affect the target while passives affect the user. They don't stack with themselves except if they say that they are stackable, for example two hastes gives you only one extra heavy action. Stackable means that all the numbers stack, for example a "healing x3" means "gain 30 hp plus 3 hp per height". Some powers counter and remove some others, for example speedy and fear both cancel each other.)

(+1 modifier) oppose
(active, you oppose the target by dealing 4 extra damage if one or more of your heaven sources are opposed with one or more of the target's heaven sources. Opposed heaven sources are Gaia with Dark, Mind with Grotesque, Magical with Religious and Star with Elemental. Combat, Social and Ki have no opposites.)
(+7 modifier) lesser phantom
(active, you create a medium-sized phantom adjacent to your 5-foot square. Phantoms are ghostly creatures that have the stats of a height 3 Trooper without a rank or any powers other than an unarmed melee attack that deals negative damage and fight by your side till destroyed. Phantoms permanently have resistance 15 to weapon, venom, disease and negative but weakness 15 to silver, positive, brain and force. Phantoms can not interact with physical objects and can not pass through walls or other obstacles for unknown reasons. Phantoms can't talk but understand the commands of their master perfectly.)
(+7 modifier) lesser idol
(active, you create an idol of yourself at your 5-foot square. Idols are illusory copies of yourselves that stay at the square they were created but they otherwise talk and behave like they were you and can execute attacks like they were you. In other words, you can treat their square as the origin square of your abilities. The image has your defenses, however a single successful hit destroys it.)
(+8 modifier) greater phantom
(active, this property behaves like lesser phantom but your phantom is a height 6 Trooper instead of height 3.)
(+8 modifier) greater idol
(active, this property behaves like lesser idol but your idol can also move around up to your speed if you spend a mediocre action to make it do so.)
(+6 modifier) gravity reversal
(active, if you score a critical hit you reverse the gravity of the target, usually causing the target to fall upwards with disastrous results.)
(+4 modifier) command
(active, if you score a critical hit the target executes simple verbal commands of yours even if it puts the target in a harms way. However, the target knows you are not an ally and may purposely execute your commands slowly or akwardly or falsely.)
(+1 modifier) knock
(active, you knock the target down. Down targets take -5 to both defenses from adjactent melee attacks and -4 to their melee attacks, but +3 cover bonus to both defenses against ranged attacks and Advantageous Position to their ranged attacks.)
(+2 modifier) drop
(active, a weapon or an item the target wields drops to the ground and to the target's space. The target may pick it up as a mediocre action during his turn. However, you can try to pick it up before him by using fetch or by pushing him and then picking the item instead or by using your imagination and any other legal way possible.)
(+0 modifier) break
(active, you attack an item the target wields or carries. Keep in mind that items have as many hit points as their price in gold pieces except for height 0 items who have ten times that amount.)

(+1 modifier) repair other
(active, stackable, you repair target construct or object by healing up to 10 hp plus 1 hp per construct's or object's height. You can not exceed target's hp maximum. If the target is not a construct or an object this property has no effect.)
(+5 modifier) sleep
(active, if you score a critical hit the target falls asleep. Asleep targets fall down and take no actions and they take -5 penalty to all their defenses but a single attack against them or a heavy action from an adjactent ally who shakes them violently wakes them up.)
(+5 modifier) petrify
(active, if you score a critical hit the target is petrified. Petrified targets become a statue with damage reduction equal to their height but they can not take any actions.)
(+4 modifier) lesser polymorph
(active, if you score a critical hit the target becomes polymorphed. Polymorphed targets have the shape of a sheep or a cow or another harmless animal of their size category. They keep all their stats, their equipment merges with them but they can not attack or use abilities.)
(+7 modifier) greater polymorph
(active, this property behaves like polymorph but you change the target at any size you wish and not just their size category.)
(+6 modifier) amaze
(active, if you score a critical hit the target becomes amazed. Amazed targets always believe you are an ally even if you are not but they think the consequences of all of their actions. That means that amazed targets will not do whatever anybody tells them to do, either enemy or ally, but they will not commit suicide or put themselves to real danger. Amaze does not remove combat skills or social ability and amazed characters will defend themselves if attacked. Muting enemies can be very useful with an amazed character around.)

Also, you can sacrifice a heavy action to do a mediocre action and a fast action to its place, you can sacrifice a mediocre action to make two fast actions to its place and you can sacrifice any kind of action to do a free action to its place.
Moreover, you can sacrifice both a mediocre action and a fast action together to make a heavy action and finally you can sacrifice two fast actions together to make a mediocre action.
Heavy actions are usually attack actions though many attacks and abilities appear like mediocre or even fast actions. If an action requires about 3 seconds (out of 6 seconds of a turn) in order to be done it is probably a heavy action.
Mediocre actions are usually movement actions though some movements may appear like heavy or even fast actions. If an action requires about 2 seconds (out of 6 seconds of a turn) in order to be done it is probably a mediocre action.
Fast actions are usually tiny tasks here an there though tiny tasks also appear during heavy and mediocre actions. If an action requires about 1 second (out of 6 seconds of a turn) in order to be done it is probably a fast action.
Free action is another kind of action you can take only once per turn in order to do something really minor like speaking a few words in-character or dropping an item.
Alternatively, with the approval of your RM, you can play with 6 action points each turn. Heavy actions cost 3 action points, mediocre actions 2, fast actions 1 and the free action costs no action points. So, you can perform 2 Heavy actions or 3 Mediocre actions or 6 Fast actions or any combination of these. However, keep in mind that your enemies can play the same way.

Example Actions in Combat:
Heavy actions are lifting a chest, opening a lock and attacking with most weapons.
Mediocre actions are drawing a sword or an item from your backpack, walking and drinking a potion.
Fast actions are opening/closing a door, drawing a sword or an item from your belt and talk a few sentences.
Free actions are talking a few words to an ally, dropping an item and lifting or loading most weapons.


first strike:
First of all, both you and each other combat participant (either an ally or a neutral or an enemy) roll first strike. The highest first strike goes first, then the second and so on. In case of a tie, roll again in order to break the tie.
first strike = 3d6 + height + other modifiers

In order to attack:
0th: Your weapon must be lifted/loaded and you must wield it.
1st: You have to be able to see the target (if you know the target is there but you can not see it you can instead attack the area he/she stands on, just consider the target invisible and follow the respective rules).
2nd: You must be able to reach the target (a ranged weapon's range is measured in 5-foot squares as well as the reach of a melee weapon)
3rd: Roll 3d6.
4th: If your attack is equal or larger than the respective defense you deal damage, otherwise you deal no damage or deal half damage (RM's choice).

attack = 3d6 + character height + wielded item's proficiency + wielded item's attack being modifier + other bonuses
damage = 1d6 + wielded item's damage + character height + wielded item's height + wielded item's attack being modifier + other bonuses

In order to defend:
If you are being attacked, the attack targets one of your two defenses. If the attack roll is equal or greater than the value of your respective defense the attack passes and it deals damage to you and you suffer any other ill effects the attack usually has.
The defenses are fixed numbers.

PD = physical defense at combat (not to be confused with the respective being score) = 10 + character height + PD modifier + other bonuses
MD = mental defense at combat (not to be confused with the respective being score) = 10 + character height + MD modifier + other bonuses

Counter Actions:
Actions (like the Counterattack property) that are taken when is not your turn are called counter actions and do not count neither as free nor as fast nor as mediocre nor as heavy actions (in other words they do not count towards your limit of actions for a turn).

Light Attack:
You may choose to do a light attack. Light attacks are like normal attacks that deal half damage on a hit or deal one quarter damage or no damage (RM's choice) on a miss.
However, light attacks do not harm the target by any means (there is no way to kill the target with a light attack) and if the target drops to zero hp or below, the target just do not take any damage from any light attacks as long as the target's hps are zero or below zero.

Fake Attack:
If you do not wish to attack but you wish to activate a property that is part of the attack you can just perform a fake attack as a free action.
Fake attacks are like attacking thin air, in other words the target does not really exists, and are always automatic hits but not critical hits.
Unlike other free actions, you can do as many fake attacks as you wish during a turn. The one-free-action-per-turn limit does not count here.
The RM may consider that some powers (like the healing property) need a real target in order to function.

Fake Defense:
If you do not wish to block an attack but wish to take the hit (e.g. due to a "heal other" effect) you can, as an counter action, reduce all your defenses for this attack only to zero. That way, it will automaticaly hit you and you will harvest both its positive benefits and its negative drawbacks.

Resting after combat:
There are 2 kinds of rests. Short rest lasts 1 minute and allows you to regain 10 hp (you can not exceed your hp maximum). Long rest lasts 4 to 8 hours (usually 6 hours but it is RM's choice) and regains all lost hp. Both rests are cancelled and no benefit is gained from them if interrupted.

Resistance, weakness and multiple damage types:
If an attack deals more than one damage type and you are weak just to one of the damage types you still take the extra damage due to weakness. Also, you need to have resistance to every single damage type in order for the resistance to apply against the attack.

Advantageous Position
If you flank the enemy with one or more allies or you are on a higher place than them (or some other situation that your RM decides you have the upper hand) you have Advantageous Position and gain +2 to your attack rolls against the targets you have Advantageous Position against.

Sharing Immunities
You can, by touching a willing ally, grant that ally all your immunities you have for 1 turn (very useful for restoring dominated characters for example) but you also lose all your immunities for that turn and get them back the next turn.
If properties (and conditions) like petrify (and "petrified") are removed that way the character who was turned to stone remains normal and in flesh-form even when he loses the immunity the very next turn.

Falling damage and other factors
You take 3 force damage (or weapon damage, it is RM's choice) for every 5 feet you fall beyond 15 feet.
You can survive 1 minute without oxygen, after that you suffocate.
You can survive 1 week without water, after that you die of thirst.
You can survive 1 month without food, after that you die of hunger.

Critical Hits
Each time you roll a critical hit (your weapon or implement says when you do so) you always hit your target despite the amount of the target's defense and you also deal double damage.
Moreover, if your critical comes from 3 natural 6s, your attack is also treated like having the instant kill property and not even instant kill immunity can prevent its effects from functioning.

Treasure and XP
The total XP and treasure gained from an encounter or a ruin in general is supposed to be evenly shared to the party members. However, that is not written on stone. If you have an underequipped party member let him have the best magic weapon you just found. If you have a party member that is a height or two below the rest of the party let her have most of the XP your party gained. Sharing XP that way is unrealistic but easy to remember and understand. Also, it really helps low height characters to reach the height of high height characters. Same goes for the treasure.
As a general rule, a height 1 player character must have 100 gp worth of equipment, a height 2 player character 200 gp worth of equipment and so on...

Different bonuses stack
Different bonuses stack, so a +1 cover bonus stack with a +1 exceptional bonus but a +3 cover bonus does not stack with a +1 cover bonus (and it does NOT become a +4 cover bonus). Penalties always stack.

Round Down
In Ruins & Raiders, you always round down, so 4.1 is 4, 4.5 is 4 and 4.9 is 4. The only exception is the damage where it always has to be at least 1 point even after calculating resistances, so 0 damage is 1, 0.5 damage is 1 and 0.9 damage is 1.
