ED&D Rules

Linear Time

• Time is measured in ticks. 100" (ticks) == 1' (minute)
• No concept of rounds or phases
• All actions take given number of ticks

  • Movement

    Expressed as N ticks/square

    Race	Movement
    Elf	3"
    Human	4"
    Gnome	6"
    Dwarf	6"
    Halflings	5"

  • Initiative

    Each character having an initiative die based on their stats.
    Add Dex+Int+Wis to yield 'base initiative'

    Base Initiative	Die
    >90	d6
    60 - 90	d8
    <60	d10

    Initiative roll is modified by Dex reaction adjustment.

  • Simultaneous Actions

    Use the initiative roll from the previous action. If they are equal, then actions are truely simultaneous

  • Combat Action - Attack

    1. Attack is declared.
    2. Weapon's Attact Time elapses
    3. Attack is resolved
    4. Weapon's Recover Time elapses

    If attacked thing dies, before the attack is resolved, then there is no need to wait for the attack time to elapse. Simply begin recovering then.
