COmBAT quiRkS
Combat is largely the same as traditional D&D combat, however there
are some minor changes that come with the change in setting. All
players are human and their movement speed is set at 30. There are no
ways to alter this unless a player is in a vehicle. Critical hits will allow
the player to make their attack roll with advantage, not double the
damage of the attack. This is to preserve balance and to add importance
to the Scout’s “Ghost” ability. In regards to firearms, ammunition is
considered infinite in order to make everyone’s lives easier. However,
ammo capacity is taken into account in regards to reloading. Unless
specified as other wise, once a player has fired the number of rounds as
listed as the firearm’s capacity, they will have to take one bonus action
to reload.
