==Stats==
 +
===Power===
 +
'''Power''' is the stat you employ to attack. Add your Power stat to your attack result. If it exceeds the target's Evade, you have successfully hit. If it exceeds the target's Armor, your attack deals an additional 1 damage. Without Power, you cannot employ weapons.
 +
 +
===Speed===
 +
'''Speed''' is your movement stat. The Robot Master with the highest Speed stat acts first in battle. On your movement action, you can move a distance in squares up to your Speed score. Certain Powers reference this stat as well.
 +
 +
===Jump===
 +
'''Jump''' is the vertical movement stat. It is used in movement and exploration and to avoid hazards. For a Robot Master with flight, Jump represents the vertical distance in squares that can be moved in a single movement action, whether upward or down. Certain Powers reference this stat as well.
 +
 +
===Armor===
 +
'''Armor''' is the resistance stat. If your Armor exceeds an attacker's Power, their attack deals 1 less damage (minimum 1). You cannot receive collision damage from an opponent with less Armor than you.
 +
 +
===Evade===
 +
'''Evade''' is the stat of avoidance. Normally, attacks are made against your static Evade stat. However, each round you have a number of Evade actions you may expend, rolling 1d6 and adding it to your Evade stat to determine if the attack has hit. Certain Powers reference this stat as well.
 +
 +
==The Combat Round==
 +
In combat, the robot with the highest Speed stat goes first. Those who are tied may roll 1d6 for priority. Each round, a robot has an attack action, a movement action and a certain number of Evade actions. A movement action may be divided up such that it is used both before and after an attack; however, some Powers require both an attack action and a movement action to utilize, and partial movement prevents the use of such Powers in a round. Despite its name, the attack action may also be used by Powers that do not specifically attack an enemy.
 +
 +
===Rolling===
 +
To roll for an attack, look at the number of dice it offers. Roll that many dice, select the highest single result and add relevant modifiers. Additional dice are discarded. '''Exception:''' If you have rolled more than one six in the same pool of dice, you may count each result of six beyond the first as a +1 modifier to your die roll (e.g. 6-6-6-3-1 would yield 6+2).
 +
 +
===Power Tags===
 +
====Air====
 +
This attack can hit airborne enemies without jumping.

 +
 +
====Plasma====
 +

 +
 +
====Shield (X)====
 +
Shields are a special class of ability that generates a protective barrier. They have the following traits:<br>
 +
• A shield can block X damage before failing. Shields cannot be replenished while active.<br>
 +
• You cannot use an attack Power while your shield is active, unless specifically noted otherwise.<br>
 +
• A shield coming into contact with another robot (collision) deals damage equal to its listed X value, '''not its current X value,''' unless otherwise noted. A robot with max HP greater than the listed X value of a shield causes a shield to fail upon contact.<br>
 +
• A shield may be released as an attack (unless otherwise noted), as 1 shot at 1d6+Armor, dealing damage equal to its listed X value. This is an attack action.<br>
 +
• You may only have one type of shield up at a time. No other shield abilities may be activated.
 +
 +
====Special====
 +
This Power requires a special weapon system installed (the weapon listed is a special weapon system).
 +
 +
====Spread (X)====
 +
This attack fires (X) shots simultaneously that individually attack enemies.
