Damage

A mixed attack such as a magical arrow shot uses the same formula as above but with the additional stats. In this case, it becomes: Agility + Intelligence - Enemy Defense + 50% Enemy Intelligence + 50% Enemy Agility
If an attack lands - and was not dodged, it will always deal a base damage of one regardless of defensive stats.
Health

Defense

To assign additional attributes points you earn once you rank up you can re-submit your character sheet with the new attribute point allocations.
Stealth
If the player has 5 or more points in Finesse than an attack dealt while stealthed will hit without fail, unless enemy mechanics make the target immune in some way.
An attack done while in stealth deals additional damage equal to 50% of the player's finesse skill.
If they have a finesse skill of 10, the attack will deal 5 extra damage.
Players can not reenter stealth directly after coming out of it. Players will always lose the stealth buff when they attack or take damage while stealthed.
Post Combat Healing
Depending on the encounter, healers will usually have time to heal the injured after combat. However, the person can only be healed for two health. It doesn't make sense to be fully fit and ready to fight again after a few spells or a bandage!
Buffing / Debuffing
Buffing a friendly player is determined by the buff itself. For example, trying to inspire someone will require the Charisma attribute. Due to this, the DM will get to decide how effective / successful a buff attempt is depending the person's attributes and buff attempt.
Debuffs are in a similar situation. Their success or failure depends on the buff attempting to be applied as well as the player's and enemy's attribute totals. Debuffs can also be applied ontop of a normal attack, for example, if you cut an enemy's neck they are likely to gain the bleeding debuff.
Counters
Counters are tied to the Riposte buff. A counter turn is a free turn where the person can attempt to strike the target that attacked them. Hit or miss, this attack does not take up the user's normal turn.
Fury - Attacks deal double damage but double damage is received in return.
Inspired - Attacks deal +2 damage and +2 accuracy is gained.
Protected - The next attack made against a protected target is nullified. Upon being attacked, this buff expires.
Riposte - +4 Dodge. If an attack against this target misses, the target gains a free counter attack turn.
Stealthed - See stealthed section in the previous category.
Thorns - Attackers take damage equal to the amount of thorn stacks the target currently has. Thorn damage can not be avoided.
