Alpha Dawn - Star Frontiersman

for each additional half-meter. Failure means the
character falls short of the distance.
A character with a 15 meter running start can vault
over an obstacle that is 2 meters high, or grab
something that is up to 4 meters above the ground.
Falling, Jumping and Diving
Falling. Characters who fall from buildings, ledges
or other heights suffer 1 d5 points of damage plus 1
point for every meter they fall. For example, a
character that falls 10 meters suffers 1 d5 +10
points of damage.
If a character suffers 15 or more points of damage
in a fall, he has sprained a leg. His movement speed
is reduced by half. If the character suffers 25 or
more points of damage, he has broken a bone or a
torn a muscle. The player must roll 1d10; on 1-8,the
character injured a leg, on 9 or 10 he injured an
arm. A character with a broken leg can not move
until the leg is splinted, and then moves at half
speed. A broken arm can not be used. (Dralasites
can spend 10 minutes absorbing the old limb and
growing a new one; this does not heal the damage,
but does remove the penalty.)
If a character suffers 30 or more points of damage,
he may be knocked unconscious. The player must
roll d100; if the result is equal to or less than the
damage the character suffered, then the character is
knocked unconscious for 1d10 minutes.
JUMPING. A character can jump down 5 meters
without being hurt. If the character jumps more
than 5 meters, he will suffer injuries the same as if
he had fallen, but the distance is reduced by 5
meters.
Example: Lklekt (a Vrusk) jumps from a jetcopter
that is hovering 15 meters above the ground. He
will suffer 1d5+10 points of damage, the same as if
he had fallen 10 meters.
Swimming
All characters can swim 10 meters/turn, or 1
km/hour. After swimming for one hour, characters
start losing 5 Stamina points every 30 minutes they
continue swimming.
Characters can hold their breath for a number of
turns equal to their Stamina score divided by 5. A
character who tries to hold his breath longer than
this takes 2d10 points of damage every turn.
Dralasites do not float naturally. They can swim, but
if knocked unconscious they will drown. A Dralasite
can float if it spends 5 minutes forming an air
pocket in its body before entering the water.
Climbing
A character can climb a rope at a rate of 2
meters/turn. The character must make a strength
check with +30 modifier at the halfway point of the
climb and at the top. A roll of 96-00 is automatic
failure. Failing the roll means the character falls.
A character can climb a vertical surface at a rate of
1 meter/turn, if there are handholds and footholds
on the wall. He must make a Dexterity check with a
+30 modifier at the halfway point of the climb and
at the top. A roll of 96-00 is automatic failure.
Failing the roll means the character falls. These rolls
are not necessary if the surface the character is
climbing slopes less than 60 degrees.
A character can climb a ladder at his normal walking
speed.
Dangerous Movements
A character is making a dangerous movement if
slipping could cause injury: inching along a ledge
and swinging on a rope across a pit are two
examples. A character must pass a Reaction Speed
check to complete a dangerous movement safely.
Failing means the character slips. The referee must
decide whether the character has a chance to catch
himself, and what happens if he falls.
Doors
Open doors and doors that open automatically do
not affect movement. To move through a closed
door, a character must stop next to the door. On the
next turn the character can move through the door
at half speed. To open a pressure door or hatch, a
character must stand next to the door for two turns,
and can move through the door at half speed on the
third turn. A character can perform other actions
