The Legacy of Vashna (28 page)

1. Add your
   COMBAT SKILL
   to any extra points given to you by your Grand Master Disciplines.
   
2. Subtract the
   COMBAT SKILL
   of your enemy from this total. This number = Combat Ratio.
   
3. Pick a number from the
   Random Number Table
   .
   
4. Turn to the
   Combat Results Table
   .
   
5. 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. LW indicates loss of
   ENDURANCE
   points to Lone Wolf.)
   
6. Continue the combat from Stage 3 until one character is dead. This is when the
   ENDURANCE
   points of either character falls to 0 or below.
   

1. You may only do this 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 Lone Wolf loses the
   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.
