Chapter 10: Combat
Unconsciousness
When reduced to 20% of their LP, a character
falls unconscious. Each time BPP reaches 0, there
is a percentile chance equal to (100 x Proportion)
on the Body Part Proportion table (in Chap. 2: Body)
that the character will fall unconscious in 1d10
rounds. Upon falling unconscious, the character
must roll 3d10, rolling TH 14 or higher, though the
Skill Modifier for Health applies to the roll. If the
player’s roll exceeds the TH, then they stabilize and
remain at their current LP, deteriorating no further.
If the roll fails, however, then the character continues
to lose 1 LP every 1d10 minutes, usually from
blood loss or internal bleeding. Finally, if a 3 was
rolled, then the character falls into a coma, and the
Aedile must secretly determine the duration by rolling
1d10: (1-2) days, (3-4) weeks, (5-6) months, (7-8)
years, (9-10) decades. Finally, roll 1d10 for duration.
To avoid death, a player may continue to roll every
round against TH 25 to see if they stabilize. Bandaging
a fallen character will stabilize them.
Infection
Any character who is bitten or struck by a
hacking or stabbing weapon is susceptible to infection.
If it is unknown whether or not an animal has
rabies, and a character has been bitten, then there is
a 1% chance that the bitten character will become
rabid. For more information, see Rabies in Chapter
2: Body. If a character is struck by a hacking or stabbing
weapon, then there is a percentile chance equal
to the percent of damage in BPP done to to a bodypart
when compared to its BPP potential when unharmed
that they will acquire gangrene. For more
information, see Gangrene in Chapter 2: Body.

Current Armor
Different characters and creatures have differing
degrees of protection, and current armor may
be different for each body part. Current Armor
(CA) represents protection with a number ranging
from 1 to infinity -- the higher the number, the more
protection. No creature may ever have a CA less
than 1. Therefore, even if the target creature is
asleep, the attacking creature must make an attack
skill check. Although CA may exceed 30, an unmodified
attack roll of 30 always hits a foe with the
Aedile’s approval.
Base CA is listed for each body part according
to race in Chapter 1: Race and Gender, as well as the
table below. Many modifiers may apply to this base,
such as wearing armor, the Agility sub-ability, some
spell effects, and some magical items. Modifiers may
indirectly affect CA, such as sobriety.
