- Highest initiative acts first. The hero wins ties.
-
On the hero’s turn, choose one:
- Attack
- Use Special Ability — once per combat
- On the monster’s turn, the monster attacks.
- To attack, roll:
1d20 + Attack Bonus
- If the result is equal to or greater than the target’s AC, the attack hits.
- On a hit, roll the attacker’s damage and subtract it from the target’s HP.
- A natural 20 is a critical hit:
- Double the number of damage dice.
- Add the damage modifier only once.
- If the monster reaches 0 HP, the monster is defeated.
- If the hero reaches 0 HP, the hero is defeated.
