Cheat Sheet
|
AimType: Half Action or Full Action Subtype: Concentration The active character patiently takes extra time to make a more precise attack. Aiming as a Half Action grants a +10 bonus to the character’s next attack, while aiming as a Full Action grants a +20 bonus to the character’s next attack. The next Action the Aiming character performs must be an attack or the benefits of Aiming are lost. Aiming benefits are also lost if the character performs a Reaction before making his attack. Aiming can be used with both melee and ranged attacks. |
Half/Full | Concentration | +10 bonus to hit as Half Action. +20 Bonus to hit as a Full Action on character's next attack, or target a specific body location. |
|
All out AttackType: Full Action Subtypes: Attack, Melee The character makes a furious melee attack at the expense of personal safety. He gains a +20 bonus to his next Weapon Skill Test, but he cannot Dodge or Parry until the start of his next Turn. |
Full | Attack,Melee | +20 to Ws, cannot Dodge or Parry. |
|
Brace Heavy WeaponType: Half Action Subtype: Miscellaneous Heavy weapons must be braced before they can be fired accurately. Bracing a Heavy weapon can involve using a bipod or tripod, propping the weapon up on a windowsill or sandbags, or simply assuming a wide stance or kneeling. When a Heavy weapon is fired without being braced, the attacker suffers a –30 to his Ballistic Skill Test. Once a Heavy weapon has been braced, the firer cannot move without losing the benefits of bracing. However, the firer can still traverse his weapon 45 degrees or more depending on the type of bracing. Melee, Thrown, Pistol, and Basic weapons gain no special benefit from bracing. |
half | Miscellaneous | Prepare to fire a heavy weapon (Space Marines don't need to use this, due to Bulging Biceps). |
|
Called ShotType: Full Action Subtypes: Attack, Concentration, Melee or Ranged The active character attempts to attack a specific or vulnerable area on his target. The attacker declares a location on his target (Head, Body, Left Arm, Right Arm, Left Leg, or Right Leg) and makes a Hard (–20) Weapon Skill Test or a Hard (–20) Ballistic Skill Test. If he succeeds, he skips the Determine Hit Location step of the attack and instead hits the declared location. |
Full (Half) | Attack, Concentration, Melee/Ranged |
Attack a specific location on the target with a -20 to WS/BS. (Auto-senses makes this a Half Action) |
|
ChargeType: Full Action Subtypes: Attack, Melee, Movement The character rushes at his target and delivers a single melee attack. The target must be at least four metres away, but still within the attacker’s Charge Move. See Table 7–4: Movement (Meters/Round) on page 205. The last four metres of the Charge must be in a straight line so the attacker can build speed and line up with his target. The attacker gains a +10 bonus to his Weapon Skill Test made at the end of the Charge. If the Charging character is unarmed, he can attempt to Grapple his opponent instead of inflicting damage. See Grappling, CRB.240. |
Full | Attack, Melee, Movement | Must move 4 meters, +10 to WS. |
|
Defensive StanceType: Full Action Subtype: Concentration, Melee The character makes no attacks and instead concentrates entirely on self-defence. Until the start of his next Turn, the character can make one additional Reaction, and all opponents suffer a –20 penalty to Weapon Skill Tests made to attack him. |
Full | Concentration, Melee | Gain an additional Reaction, opponents suffer -20 to WS. |
|
DelayType: Half Action Subtype: Miscellaneous nstead of acting immediately, the character waits for an opportunity. When a character chooses Delay, his Turn ends, but he reserves a delayed Half Action for later use. Any time before the start of his next Turn, the character can perform a delayed Half Action of his choice. If the delayed Half Action is not used before the start of the character’s next turn, it is lost. If two or more characters both attempt to perform delayed Half Actions at the same time, they must make an Opposed Agility Test to see who acts first. |
Half | Miscellaneous | Before character's next Turn, he may take any Half Action. |
|
DisengageType: Full Action Subtype: Movement The character breaks off from melee combat and may take a Half Move. Opponents that were engaged with the character do not gain any free attacks. See the Fleeing sidebar for more details. |
Full | Movement | Break off from melee and move. |
|
DodgeType: Reaction Subtype: Movement Dodge is a Reaction that a character can perform when it is not his Turn. After a character is hit, but before Damage is rolled, the character can attempt to avoid the attack by making a Dodge Test. A character must be aware of the attack in order to make the test. If the test succeeds, the character gets out of the way at the last moment and the attack is considered to have missed (and thus no Damage is rolled). If the Dodge Test fails, the attack connects and deals Damage normally. Dodge can be used to avoid both melee and ranged attacks. Dodging Auto-Fire and Area Effect Attacks Some attacks, such as those made with grenades, flamers, or guns firing semi-automatic or fully-automatic bursts, are especially difficult to avoid. When Dodging an area effect weapon (such as a flamer), a successful Dodge Test moves the character to the edge of the area of effect, as long as it is no further away than the character’s Agility Bonus in metres. If the character would need to move further than this to avoid the attack, then the Dodge Test automatically fails. When Dodging Full Auto or Semi-Auto Bursts, each Degree of Success on the Dodge Test negates one additional hit. |
Reaction | Movement | Test Dodge to negate a hit. |
|
FeintType: Half Action Subtype: Melee The character attempts to use guile and combat training to trick his opponent into a mistake. The character and his target make an Opposed Weapon Skill Test. If the active character wins, his next melee attack against that same target cannot be Dodged or Parried. If the active character’s next Action is anything other than a Standard Attack, the advantage of Feinting is lost. |
Half | Melee | Opposed WS Test, if character wins, his next attack cannot be Dodge or Parried. |
|
Focus PowerType: Half, Full, Free, or Extended Action (Varies by Power) Subtype: Varies by Power This Action is used to manifest Psychic Powers in combat. Every Psychic Power specifies an Action type and one or more subtypes. For more information, see Chapter VI: Psychic Powers. |
Varies | Concentration | Use a psychic power. |
|
Full Auto BurstType: Full Action Subtype: Attack, Ranged The character hurls a roaring burst of fully automatic gunfire at his enemies. The attacker must be wielding a ranged weapon capable of fully automatic fire to take this Action. If the character has a pistol in each hand, both capable of fully automatic fire, he may fire both with this Action (see Two-Weapon Fighting, page 246). The attacker makes a Ballistic Skill Test with a +20 bonus. A dice result of 94 to 00 indicates the weapon has Jammed. If successful, the attack scores a hit normally. Furthermore, each Degree of Success scores an extra hit. The number of extra hits scored in this manner cannot exceed the weapon’s fully automatic Rate of Fire. Extra hits can either be allocated to the original target or any other targets within two metres, provided none of the new targets would have been harder to hit than the original target. If extra hits are allocated to the same target, use Table 8–2: Multiple Hits to determine the extra Hit Locations. Remember, the first hit is always determined by reversing the numbers of the dice result made to perform the test (see The Attack, page 244). A character using this Action with a Pistol- or Basic-class weapon may also move up to his Agility Bonus in metres. However, if he does so, he gains no bonus to his Ballistic Skill Test and instead suffers a –10% penalty. If the weapon has the Scatter special quality and is fired with a Full-Auto Burst at Point Blank Range, any extra hits from Scatter and Full-Auto Burst are calculated separately and both applied. |
Full | Attack, Ranged | +20 to BS, additional hit for every DoS. Or forgo +20 and move AB meters if firing pistol or basic weapon. |
|
GrappleType: Half or Full Action Subtype: Attack, Melee This action is only used when a character is already engaged in a Grapple. See Grappling, page 246, for rules on starting a Grapple. If the active character is controlling the Grapple, the first thing he must do on his Turn is declare Grapple as a Full Action in order to maintain the Grapple; if he does not declare Grapple as a Full Action, the Grapple immediately ends. After that, he can choose one of the following Controller Grapple Options: controller grapple options • Damage Opponent: The controller of the Grapple can attempt to damage his opponent with brute force by making an Opposed Strength Test with the Grappled opponent. If the active character wins, he inflicts unarmed Damage (1d5–3+SB with Armour Points counting double) to his opponent’s body location and one level of Fatigue. If the Grappled opponent wins the Opposed Strength Test, no Damage is dealt, but he is still Grappled. This action can benefit from Assistance. • Throw Down Opponent: The controller of the Grapple can attempt to wrestle his Grappled opponent to the ground by making an Opposed Strength Test. This test can benefit from Assistance. If the active character wins, the Grappled opponent becomes prone. • Push Opponent: The controller of the Grapple can attempt to force his Grappled opponent to move. This is resolved with an Opposed Strength Test, which can benefit from Assistance. If the active character succeeds, he pushes his opponent one meter in a direction of his choice, plus one additional metre for each Degree of Success. This pushed distance cannot exceed the active character’s Half Move distance. The active character must move with his Grappled opponent in order to maintain the Grapple, or he can choose to let go of his opponent, which ends the Grapple, but allows the active character to keep his ground. • Ready: The controller of the Grapple can ready one of his own items. Or if the GM allows, he can use the Ready Action to grab an item belonging to his Grappled opponent. • Stand: If both Grappling participants are on the ground, the controller of the Grapple can regain his feet with this action. He can also attempt to drag his Grappled opponent up with him by making an Opposed Strength Test. This test can benefit from Assistance. If the controller of the Grapple wins, both participants stand. • Use Item: The controller of the Grapple can use a readied item. If the active character is the target of the Grapple, the first thing he must do on his Turn is declare Grapple as a Half Action—this is part of the penalty for being Grappled. After that, he can choose one of the following Grappled Target Options: grappled target options • Break Free: The Grappled target can attempt to break free of the Grapple by making an Opposed Strength Test with the controller of the Grapple. This test can benefit from Assistance. If the active character wins, he breaks free and may perform any Half Action. • Slip Free: The Grappled target can attempt to wriggle out of the Grapple by making a Challenging (+0) Contortionist Skill Test. If he succeeds, he slips free and may perform any Half Action. • Take Control: The Grappled target can attempt to take control of the Grapple by making an Opposed Strength Test with his Grappling opponent. This test can benefit from Assistance. If the active character wins, he becomes the controller of the Grapple and his opponent becomes the Grappled target. The active character may then immediately perform one of the Controller Grapple Options, but he cannot take any other Half Actions. |
Half/Full | Attack, Melee | Affect a Grappled opponent or excape from a Grapple. |
|
Guarded AttackType: Full Action Subtype: Attack, Concentration, Melee The character performs a careful attack, making sure he remains well poised to defend himself. The character suffers a –10 penalty to his Weapon Skill Test, but he gains a +10 bonus to all Dodge and Parry Tests until the start of his next Turn. |
Full | Attack, Concentration, Melee | -10 WS, +10 to Parry or Dodge. |
|
Jump or LeapType: Full Action Subtype: Movement The character can Jump vertically or Leap horizontally. If the character is engaged in melee, each opponent he is engaged with can make a free Standard Attack against the character. See Movement, page 205, for details on Jumping and Leaping. |
Full | Movement | Jump vertically or leap horizontally. |
|
Knock-DownType: Half Action Subtype: Attack The attacker smashes his opponent in the hopes of knocking him off his feet. Make an Opposed Strength Test. If the attacker wins, the target is knocked prone and must use a Stand Action on his Turn to regain his feet. If the attacker succeeds by two or more Degrees of Success, the target also suffers 1d5–3+SB damage, with Armour Points counting as double, and one level of Fatigue. If the target wins the Opposed Strength Test, he keeps his footing. If the target wins by two or more Degrees of Success, the attacker is knocked prone instead. If the attacker spent a Half Action to move before performing the Knock-Down attack, he gains a +10 bonus to the test. |
Half | Attack, Melee | Try to knock an opponent to the ground. |
|
ManouvreType: Half Action Subtype: Melee, Movement By using superior footwork and aggression, the attacker can force his opponent to move one meter in any direction by succeeding at an Opposed Weapon Skill Test. If desired, the attacker can advance one meter as well. The opponent cannot be forced into another character or some other obstacle (such as wall). |
Half | Melee, Movement | Opposed WS Test, if character wins, move enemy 1 meter. |
|
MoveType: Half or Full Action Subtype: Movement The active character can spend a Half Action to move a number of meter equal to his Agility Bonus. As a Full Action, he may move twice that distance. If the Active character ends his movement adjacent to an opponent, he may engage that opponent in melee. If the active character moves away from an opponent with whom he is engaged, that opponent may make a free Standard Attack against the active character. |
Half/Full | Movement | Move up to movement as a Half Action or twice movement as a Full Action. |
|
Multiple AttacksType: Full Action Subtype: Attack, Melee or Ranged This action allows the active character to make more than one attack on his Turn, provided he has the Swift Attack or Lightning Attack talent, or is wielding a weapon in his secondary hand. See Two-Weapon Fighting,page 246. |
Full | Attack, Melee/Ranged | Use Swift Attack or Lightning Attack Talents to make multiple Attacks. |
|
OverwatchType: Full Action Subtype: Attack, Concentration, Ranged The active character guards a specific area or target, poised to shoot at an opportune moment. When Overwatch is declared, the active character establishes a kill zone, which is any general area, such as a corridor or treeline, that encompasses a 45 degree arc in the direction that active character is facing. The active character then specifies either Full Auto Burst, Semi-Auto Burst, or Suppressing Fire, along with the conditions under which he will perform the chosen attack. At any time the specified conditions are met before the start of the character’s next Turn, he can perform that attack. If this attack occurs at the same time as another character’s Action, the character with the higher Agility Bonus acts first. If both characters have the same Agility Bonus, they make an Opposed Agility Test to see who acts first. Additionally, targets caught in the kill zone must make a Hard (–20) Pinning Test or become Pinned (see Pinning on page 248). If a character on Overwatch performs any Actions or Reaction, such as Dodge, his Overwatch immediately ends. Note this does not include Free Actions, such as speech. |
Full | Attack, Concentration, Ranged | Shoot targets cming into a set kill zone, -20 to BS. |
|
ParryType: Reaction Subtype: Defence, Melee f the active character is wielding a melee weapon capable of Parrying, he can attempt to thwart an incoming melee attack by making a Challenging (+0) Weapon Skill Test. If the test succeeds, the incoming attack is considered to have missed. If the test fails, the attack connects and Damage is rolled normally. Parrying requires no special Skill or Talent, but Parry can only be used to negate a melee attack. |
Reaction | Melee | Test WS to negate a hit. |
|
ReadyType: Half Action Subtype: Miscellaneous The active character draws a weapon or retrieves an object stowed in a pouch or pocket. A weapon or item can also be properly stowed away with this action (but note that simply dropping an item is considered a Free Action). This Action can also be used to do things such as apply a medi-patch, inject stimm or some other kind of drug, coat a blade with poison, and so forth. Ready can be declared twice in the same Turn if it is used on two different weapons or items. |
Half | Miscellaneous | Ready a weapon or item. |
|
ReloadType: Half, Full, or Extended Action (Varies by Weapon) Subtype: Miscellaneous The active character can reload a ranged weapon. The amount of time the Reload Action takes depends on the weapon. See Chapter V: Armoury for details. Note that any Reload Action that is spread across more than one Round is an Extended Action. |
Varies | Miscellaneous | Reload a ranged weapon. |
|
RunType: Full Action Subtype: Movement The active character runs, covering a distance equal to his Run Movement (see Table 7–4: Movement in Metres/Round on page 205). This makes the character harder to hit with ranged weapons, but easier prey for melee attacks. Until the beginning of the character’s next turn, ranged attacks made against him suffer a –20 penalty to Ballistic Skill Tests, but melee attacks gain a +20 bonus to Weapon Skill Tests. |
Full | Movement | Move triple, enemies get -20 BS and +20 WS. |
|
Semi-Auto BurstType: Full Action Subtype: Attack, Ranged With cold precision, the active character shoots a burst of semi-automatic gunfire at his enemies. The attacker must be wielding a ranged weapon capable of semi-automatic fire to take this action. If the character has a pistol in each hand, both capable of semi-automatic fire, he may fire both with this action (see Two-Weapon Fighting, page 246). The attacker makes a Ballistic Skill Test with a +10 bonus. A dice result of 94 to 00 indicates the weapon has Jammed (see Weapon Jams, page 249). If he succeeds, the attack scores a hit normally. Furthermore, every two Degrees of Success score an extra hit. The number of extra hits scored in this manner cannot exceed the weapon’s semi-automatic Rate of Fire. Extra hits can either be allocated to the original target or any other targets within two metres, provided none of the new targets would have been harder to hit than the original target. If extra hits are allocated to the same target, use Table 8–2: Multiple Hits on page 239 to determine the extra Hit Locations. Remember, the first hit is always determined by reversing the numbers of the dice result made to perform the test (see The Attack, page 244). A character using this Action with a Pistol- or Basic-class weapon may also move up to his Agility Bonus in metres. However, if he does so, he gains no bonus to his Ballistic Skill Test. If the weapon has the Scatter special quality and is fired with a Semi-Auto Bust at Point Blank Range, any extra hits from Scatter and Semi-Auto Burst are calculated separately and both are applied. |
Full | Attack, Ranged | +10 to BS, additional hit for every 2 DoS. Or forgo +10, and move AB Meters if firing pistol or basic weapon. |
|
Stand/MountType: Half Action Subtype: Movement f the active character is on the ground, he can stand. If he is already standing, he can mount a riding beast or a vehicle. |
Half | Movement | Stand up or mount a riding beast or vehicle. |
|
Standard AttackType: Half Action Subtype: Attack, Melee or Ranged The active character makes either one melee attack by testing Weapon Skill, or one ranged attack by testing Ballistic Skill. If the attacking character is unarmed, he can attempt to Grapple his opponent instead of inflicting damage. See Grappling, page 246. |
Half | Attack, Melee/Ranged | Make one melee or ranged attack. |
|
StunType: Full Action Subtype: Attack, Melee f the active character is unarmed or armed with a melee weapon, he can strike to Stun instead of attempting to land a killing blow. The attacker makes a Hard (–20) Weapon Skill Test. If the attack succeeds, roll 1d10 and add the attacker’s Strength Bonus. The target then rolls 1d10 and adds his Toughness Bonus +1 per Armour Point protecting his head (if the attack is unarmed, or if the attacking weapon is Primitive, the Armour Points are doubled). If the attacker’s roll is equal or higher, the target is Stunned for a number of Rounds equal to the difference between the rolls, and he gains one level of Fatigue. |
Full | Attack, Melee | Try to Stun an opponent. |
|
Suppressing FireType: Full Action Subtype: Attack, Ranged The active character unleashes a devastating hail of firepower to force his opponents to take cover. This action requires a weapon capable of fully automatic fire (see Rate of Fire, page 141). When Suppressing Fire is declared, the active character establishes a kill zone (or uses one previously established, see Overwatch, page 241), which is any general area, such as a corridor or treeline, that encompasses a 45 degree arc in the direction the active character is facing. Then, the active character fires a fully automatic burst and expends the appropriate ammo. All targets within the kill zone must take a Hard (–20) Pinning Test or become Pinned (see page 248). Additionally, the active character must make a Hard (–20) Ballistic Skill Test to determine if his wild spray of gunfire hits anyone, friend or foe, within the kill zone. A roll of 94–100 on the test indicates the weapon has Jammed (see Weapon Jams, page 249). If the Ballistic Skill Test succeeds, the GM assigns the hit to a random target within the kill zone. Furthermore, every two Degrees of Success score an extra hit against another random victim. Use of the Suppressive Fire action does not affect the defensive benefits of armour or cover. The number of hits scored may not exceed the weapon’s fully automatic Rate of Fire. Use Table 8–2: Multiple Hits to determine Hit Locations for multiple hits against the same target. The active character cannot choose to fail this Ballistic Skill Test. Note that Suppressing Fire is a separate Full Action from Full Auto Burst and therefore does not benefit from the +20 attack bonus Full Auto Burst provides. |
Full | Attack, Ranged | Force opponents to take cover, -20 to BS. |
|
Tactical AdvanceType: Full Action Subtype: Concentration, Movement The active character moves from one position of cover to another position of cover. In so doing, he may cover a distance up to his Full Move. For the duration of the move, he is considered to benefit from the cover he left, even though he is moving in the open for a brief time. |
Full | Concentration, Movement | Move from cover to cover. |
|
Use A SkillType: Half, Full, or Extended Action (Varies by circumstance) Subtype: Concentration, Miscellaneous The active character may use a Skill. This usually involves making a Skill Test. This can be an Extended Action, depending on the Skill and the circumstances. |
