    This document summarizes the combat rules for Runequest, including initiative, combat actions, weapon reach, hitting targets, levels of success, and damage. It provides the following key details: - Initiative is determined by strike rank, weapon bonuses, and 1d10 roll, with ties resolved simultaneously. Each turn a character can move their full movement and take one combat action. - Combat actions include attacking, casting spells, changing range, disengaging, and more. Weapon reach provides bonuses and determines effective parry range. - To hit a target, the attacker rolls their attack versus the defender's defense. Different levels of success on the d20 roll determine maneuvers for both attacker and defender
