Add a new rule titled “Stats and Weapons”, with the following text:

Each @ has a number called HP, and a number called Max HP. They are together tracked the GNDT column “HP”, which should display “X (Y)”, where X is the @ in question’s HP and Y is the @ in question’s Max HP. Each @ starts with an HP and Max HP of 10.

There exist Weapons, which are a type of item. A Weapon can be ranged or melee, and has an amount of Damage, which is two integers (a number of Dice and a number of Sides). If an @ carries a weapon, they may be wielding it.

Add a new rule titled “Monsters”, with the following text:

A Monster is a type of game entity; each one has a number of HP and an amount of Damage, which is two integers (a number of Dice and a number of Sides).

An active Encounter exists while at least one Monster exists. The RNG can create a Monster at any time; this either creates a new active Encounter, or adds Monsters to any existing active Encounter. When creating an Encounter, the RNG must detail the Monsters in it in a Story Post with [Encounter] in its title; new Monsters added to an existing Encounter must be detailed in comments to its associated Story Post, and the comments to that post should also be used by @s to track which Monsters are still alive, along with the current stats for each. If all Monsters in an Encounter cease to exist, the Encounter stops being an Encounter.

Each @ has a Distance, which is tracked in the Story Post for an Encounter, not in the GNDT. The Distances of each @ shall be decided by the RNG when he begins an Encounter.

Add a new rule called “Combat”:

As a daily action, an @ may Fight one Monster, or an @. If the @ is not wielding a weapon, they must roll DICEX in the GNDT where X is their Strength. If the @ is wielding a weapon, they must roll XDICEY in the GNDT where X is the number of Dice for their weapon, and Y is the number of Sides for their weapon. The result of the die roll (whichever is used) is the Damage Dealt. An @ may not Fight a Monster if their Distance is greater than 1 unless they are wielding a ranged weapon, and an @ may not Fight an @ who has a different Distance than them unless they are wielding a ranged weapon.

When an @ fights something, after rolling damage dealt, they decrease the HP of whatever they fought by the damage dealt. If the HP of a monster goes below 1, they cease to exist. If the HP of an @ goes below 1, they die.

After an @ fights a Monster, the Monster fights back; the Monster fights the @ who fought them. The RNG shall role XDICEY in the GNDT where X is the Monster’s Dice and Y is the Monster’s Sides, and decreases the @‘s HP by the result.

As a daily action, an @ may Move. They roll DICE3 in the GNDT and increase or decrease their Distance by any number from 1 to the result, so long as their Distance does not go below 1.
