Grey Star the Wizard (26 page)

1. Calculate your
   COMBAT SKILL
   based on the weapon that you are using.
   
2. Subtract the
   COMBAT SKILL
   of your enemy from this total. This number = Combat Ratio.
   
3. If using your Wizard's Staff, note the number of
   WILLPOWER
   points you wish to expend.
   
4. Pick a number from the
   Random Number Table
   .
   
5. Turn to the
   Combat Results Table
   .
   
6. Find your Combat Ratio on the top of the chart and cross-reference to the random number you have picked. (E indicates loss of
   ENDURANCE
   points to Enemy. GS indicates loss of
   ENDURANCE
   points to Grey Star.)
   
7. Multiply the enemy's lost
   ENDURANCE
   points by the number of
   WILLPOWER
   points used.
   
8. Continue the combat from Stage 3 until one character is dead. This is when
   ENDURANCE
   points of either character fall to 0 or below.
   

1. You may only evade combat when the text of the adventure offers you the opportunity.
   
2. You undertake one round of combat in the usual way. All points lost by the enemy are ignored, only Grey Star loses
   ENDURANCE
   points.
   
3. If the book offers the chance of taking evasive action in place of combat, it can be taken in the first round of combat or any subsequent round.
