Blunt Force

Written By The Developer

Blunt Force deals with hard impacts, smacks, and thumps.

Blunt Force Damage

Blunt Force applies a Blunt Force Injury Card.

When applying Blunt Force Damage to Durability, the damage applied is increased 100%.

This does not change the Potency of the Action.

For Example, Armor Durability

  • You deal 21 Blunt Force Damage.

  • The target has 8 Mitigation from their Body Armor.

  • The Potency is reduced from 21 to 13 by the Mitigation.

  • The reduced Potency is applied to the armor’s Durability as 16 Durability Damage in stead of 8 Durability Damage.

  • The remaining 13 Potency is applied to Vitality as a Blunt Force Injury Card.

For Example, Shield Mitigation Exceeds Potency

  • You deal 21 Blunt Force Damage

  • The Assault is blocked.

  • The Shield has 30 Mitigation, and 50 Durability.

  • Your 26 Blunt Force Damage Potency is fully absorbed by the shield.

  • You apply 52 Durability Damage to the shield, destroying it.

  • This damage does not pass through because the Potency did not exceed the Mitigation.

Blunt Force Injury Card

Blunt Force Injury Cards are physical damage.

When applying a Blunt Force Injury Card, the damage dealt includes 1 Hard Damage.

For Example: Blunt Force which will apply 4 Total Damage, applies 1 Hard Damage and 3 Raw Damage.
