Firan Survival Guide: Combat System
From FiranMUX
WARNING! The information contained here is based on the state of the game as of this writing. Since FiranMUX is an evolving game the combat system is, as with everything, subject to change. Currently in the works are version 3.0 of the combat system[1] which will pretty much change everything written here. There is no ETA for when this will be complete. Also, opinions on strategy and tactics are my own, and I have less combat experience than some others on the game, so take anything aside from the bare mechanics with a grain of salt.
You really don't need to know these details to fight. These are advanced details for people who want to understand the combat system, though soldiers in particular are advised to learn these advanced topics. All you strictly need to know is what's in help combat in a hurry. You can pick and choose to read up on topics of interest below for some advanced tactics, or an idea of how the mechanics work. Incidentally, pretty much all this information can be ferreted out from the dozens and dozens of help files on the game, except for my entirely subjective opinions found in some of the sections.
On the subject of code mechanics, rolls are done according to a modification of the original White Wolf dice rules. You can read more about the dice system elsewhere on this site.
