Core rule · Rules Tome 2.0.8 § 509.3
Melee strikes
Melee strikes normally target within one rank and use the Character’s ATK.
How it works
Full rule
Choose a legal Character within one rank, roll a d20, and add the strike ATK including applicable bonuses and penalties. Meeting or exceeding AC normally hits for one wound. A strike that names a specific target can ignore normal rank distance.
At the table
Example
A Character with primary ATK +5 rolls 11 for a total of 16 and hits AC 16.
Watch for this
Common mistake
A Character’s ATK applies to melee strikes, not ordinary ranged strikes.
