Fields - The effective use of fields while in a combat situation. Fields are a thin covering of Aether and Energy wrapping the wearers body. The energy flows around the field to block the greatest threat. In addition the field responds to the wearers mental commands.

Lore Creature/Planar - Knowledge of the various planes (Zenfar, Grepox, etc.) and the beings and creatures that inhabit them. Lore of the recent hisory of the planes, including various locations and conflicts is provided by this skill. This skill allows for the general condition of a creature or inhabitant to be known (i.e. Healthy, Injured, Near Death).

Endurance/Resistance Rolls

Often times your Alter Ego will need to resist or endure various trials and tribulations. This is accomplished via the Endurance Roll. Whenever your Alter Ego has been poisoned or exposed to radiation make an Endurance Roll.

Roll 1d100 and compare it to your Endurance Attribute x 2. If the result is less than or equal to your Endurance Attribute x 2 you are able to avoid exposure or damaging effects of any kind.

Endurance Roll = Endurancex2
                 <= 1d100 Endure the trial >  1d100 Take full damage              

Combat

Rolling To Hit

The basic combat score is found by adding the two appropriate attributes and the appropriate skill and then subtracting the opponent's opposing attribute usually Agility. Next roll 1d100 and try and get a roll that is less then your combat score.

Combat to Hit = Attribute1 + Attribute2 + Skill - Opp. Attribute
               <= 1d100 Hit >  1d100 Miss

Combat Stance

You may also choose a combat stance. This stance can be changed at the beginning of each combat round.

Stance
------
Defensive    -20 to hit     -20 to all opponent's attacks against you
None         No adjustments
Offensive    +20 to hit     +20 to all opponents' attacks against you

Damage Multiple Table

After every successful hit, you get to roll on the Damage Multiple Table. This can turn on ordinary hit into a killing death blow!

       Damage Multiple Table
       ---------------------
       1 -73 x1   Damage (Hit)
       75-89 x1 1/2   Damage (Power Hit)
       90-95 x2   Damage (Super Hit)
       96-00 x3   Damage (Critical Hit - Also causes opponent to be stunned)

Body Armor, Fields, & Shields

Zenfar can be a dangerous place. Besides the constant Harvestor threat, there are many environmental hazards. Body Armor and Fields provide the best forms of personal protection. Members of Orders that involve combat or exploration often wear body armor and a personal field for maximum protection.

Fields provide greater protection than body armor but are not as reliable. Many Searchers are working to restore Ancient Power Armor, this armor should combine the power of fields with the coverage of body armor.

Aether, of Flux & Essence

Aether is the most powerful energy in the ExaDim. It is made up of two seperate but equal forces. Flux and Essence are these forces. A few of the inhabitants of Zenfar are gifted with the ability to manipulate these powerful flows of energy.

The manipulation of Flux and the shaping of Essence has always been a part of life on Zenfar. Early history speaks of unexpected and dangerous dispalys of power. In modern times Flux and Essence have begun a part of everyday life, yet they are still considered wonderous.

Number of Powers

The number of powers your alter ego has is equal to the power skill points divided by ten (rounded off to the nearest whole number) plus your alter ego's current Sphere. For example if you had a 32 skill points in Essence and you had enough training points to be in the 2nd Sphere, your alter ego would have 5 Essence powers (32/10 + 2).
