Some weapons are short (Red Marker), Medium (Orange Marker), Long (Yellow Marker) or infinite ranged. If its possible for you to attack the target, you may create your dice pool. Check the dice value on the weapon or weapons (if dual wielding), add that many dices to your pool. Choose your attack card; add as many dices to your pool as the card stance. Now you have your Attack Pool, you can swap out any Blue dice for either Calm or Aggressive dices (see below, combat stance) depending on your stance. To see if you did any damage, simply apply Attack Power from your Weapon + Attack Card (Some attack give bonus damage based on attributes). Then subtract the total value with the enemys Defense Value + Cover Value (Chosen by the GM). Making an AssassinationSometimes, full sized assault isnt the answer for a quick victory.

Combat StanceYour combat stance is very important, do you want to fight reckless or calm? At the start of your turn, you can move your stance marker towards the more aggressive or calm stance, or you can chose to stay neutral. Reckless attacks will tend to do more damage but reduced aim while Calm stances make sure you will hit your target. Neutral stance is a balance of both aggressive and the calm stance.
