Rules of Combat

All players begin with •20 hp (health points) • A Battle Book • A D20 (20-sided die) • And a way to keep score • All players roll their D20 in unison. • Roll determines which page you'll cast from, and turn order (High to Low). If tie, roll to break. •On your turn, declare who you are targeting. • Then, follow instructions on the page you rolled to attack. • If attack is successful, the targeted player has a chance to defend. Roll a 12+ to block half the damage (rounded up; if half block a spell of 9 damage, take 5 damage). Roll 16+ to block full damage. • Once everyone has taken their turn, repeat until only one Player or team is left standing. Additional rules: Rolling a 1 at any point during gameplay deducts 1 hp for the roller. Rolling a 7 at any point adds 1 hp to the roller. Every Battle Book has its own unique power-up when below 10 hp; check for yours on page 21. Nat 20s on attack make the damage indefensible. Nat 20s on defense deal half the damage of blocked damage back at caster.
