Exterminis: Reign of Destruction
Areas of Conflict
Most of the action in Exterminis: Reign of Destruction centers around four areas of conflict: Weapon Attacks, Spell Attacks, Stealth, and Social Interaction. These are represented by eight conflict codes, one attack roll and one defense roll for each type of conflict. To resolve the conflict, each party rolls the corresponding die code, and adds all applicable modifiers.
For example, to attack someone with a weapon, the attacker rolls their Weapon Attack dice, and the defender rolls their Weapon Defense dice. The highest total “wins” the contest. If the attacker rolls higher, then a hit is scored and damage is rolled. However, if the defender rolls higher, the attack misses. Ties are always given to the defender, but players may spend one karma point to win a tie, if they so desire.
Starting characters get 2d6 in each conflict code, plus an additional 2d6 that players can apply to any two conflict codes of their choice. Each code has a maximum of 3d6 at the start of the game, so you will have six codes at 2d6, and two codes at 3d6.
In addition, each code is modified by one of your characteristics. The chart below tells you which characteristics modify each code.
Finally, all starting characters get two additional +2 bonuses that they can add to any two conflict codes.
