BATTLE SYSTEM v0.1

GMSL uses a text form turn-based combat system with the aid of the online automated DICE system. The dice can be found below the [Preview] [Send] buttons while composing a reply.

The admin/moderator posts a link of the battle thread and the names of the participants. Every battle will have a minimum of 1 to multiple sectors. Once you've chosen your entry point, the participants are then required to post their Stats and Entry Post. After a participant from each team has successfully entered the battle, the Dice determines the turn order and the battle may begin. Once the turn order has been decided the first to act player will begin by making his Turn Post.

A simple Turn Phase Post contains of your Roleplay, Pre-action stats, Action Post, Post-action stats, and Dice roll.

If a player is attacked then they are required to post a Response Post. Failure to submit a Response Post within 24 hours after the attack post will result in a loss of turn and a direct hit from the attack, regardless of the outcome from the dice.

Before posting: Make sure that your stats are correct, your target is correct, and the dice you use is correct. Critical errors in the battle post will result, if contested by the opponent or the admins/mods, the post is invalidated and that player's turn for that particular post will be skipped.

MAP SYSTEM
--------------------------

The battlefield's size is determined by the MAP. It can be composed of 1 to multiple sectors and only participants within the same sector can engage in combat, unless otherwise allowed via a long ranged weapon or a highly destructive force.

Each sector will have it's own separate Thread, and players are not allowed to exist in more than 1 sector at the same time.

Moving from one sector to another will must be done at the start of the player's turn and doing so will end the player's turn. A post must be done indicating the player has left the sector and another post must be accomplished by the player indicating that he/she has arrived in the other sector. Example:

Example wrote:

THREAD 1:
-------------

TURN PHASE:
Jimmy has left Sector A and has moved to Sector B

THREAD 2:
-------------

TURN PHASE:
Jimmy has arrived in Sector B

End of turn.

Reaction Phase is your response to another player or npc attacking or using a skill on you. During your character’s Reaction Phase you can choose from the following options:
1) STATUS EFFECTS
2) TAKE HIT
3) USE COUNTER SKILL
4) UPDATE YOUR STATS

Example:

REACTION PHASE
(DOWN) ENGINE DOWN
Effect: This unit has lost 2 Actions for 3 turns.

{Insert Roleplay here}

{Insert Counter attack here if available}
{Insert Damage taken computation here}

{Insert Turn phase here}

{Updated Stats}

Important note:
* If the Status effect increases damage, then you will add the effects before contesting it with the target's DEF or MDEF.
* If the Status effect increases damage taken, then you will add the effects after contesting it with the target's DEF or MDEF. (But this responsibility usually falls to the player who is targeted)

WHAT ARE ACTIONS AND HOW DO I GET MORE?
 
This determines how many times you can attack or use a skill in one turn. Everyone starts with 3 ACTIONS its Standard. Skills have different ACTION costs so keep that in mind.
 
You can gain 1 ACTION every time you upgrade your Mobile Suit's SPEED. Also, you are awarded 1 ACTION upon reaching Pilot Rank S.

HOW TO PROPERLY DEDUCT DEFENSE FROM DAMAGE
 
First look at the dice and determine how many hit you. Now subtract your Defense to each Hit.
 
Here’s an example:
You got hit 3x by a Physical Attack with 5000 damage each
[HIT] [HIT] [HIT]
 
Now get your MS’s Physical Resistance. [P.REF. 10%] Simply subtract 10% to each HIT and that will be the amount of damage you received. If you’re having trouble the answer is 4500 per hit x3 = 13,500 damage taken for all 3 attacks.
