Mar Sara.... three years ago it would have been called a little backwater station with a dying economy. Now its become a front for the most deadly war we have seen in our time. and its looking like its going to be our last. Three factions share this tiny planet in the battle for supremacy the Terrans, Protoss, and the Zerg. As Terrans in this fight we have no advantage. the Zerg have numbers and the Protoss have Technology. I will be the first to say we are fighting a dying battle were backed into a corner with no other option. we're going to fight our way out.....
-Commander J. Raynor

This is the Mar Sara Scenario. a mostly combat based RP with a actual fighting system so no godmodding is possible. However it can take away from the depth of your character in combat this is a test and will be tweaked for player friendly use.
and this is a Terran ONLY campaign sorry no Toss or Zerg


Now to explain the combat system i will use two examples of Ranged, and Melee combat.

((ranged combat.))

Marine I vs. Marine II

To eliminate the dice roller and having me control all the action i have revised the combat system to make it more compatible with the users.......

Marine I has a weapon that can deal 4 Damage when he fires at Marine II the 4 damage is subtracted from his Armor rating of 2 meaning he takes 2 wounds. in simple Damage-Armor= wounds lost (or HP if you perfer.)

Now throwing cover into the mix basic cover (i.e. Trash can, barrel single person cover) gives a Armor bonus of +1 moderate cover (A flipped table, or something that covers your whole body.) gives +2 and finally advanced cover (Personal Plasma Shield, Bunker Cover, and the like, bascialy all side protection.)
Gets added to your Armor while you remain behind cover and obviously you lose it if you break cover

((Melee combat))
Melee combat is fought in three stages "Attack phase, Defense Phase, and Reflex Phase." so lets use good'ol marine I and II again

in the attack phase both Marines deal damage at the same time to eachother.

in the defense Phase they subtract the damage from their armor

and the reflex stage is where the person with the higher reflex goes first


Your character has fallen in combat! this does not mean your character is dead when you go under your wounds x2 is when your character is Offically dead and cannot be revived. like if Marine I got hit for that 24 he would have gone out for good. but lets say you catch some lead and your character falls you can still fight but you get a -5 Damage deduction due to being injured and panicked or you can sit back and wait for a character to heal you with the medic ability. another example

Marine James gets hit for 15 wounds and has fallen to -1 wounds!

Medic Madeline can come in and heal/revive him.

Madeline uses heal talent. 13 bringing James up to 12 wounds!

And there you have it potential death avoided.
