Combat, Quick N' Dirty

Basic Pool Layout – Attribute + Skill + Damage Rating + Disciple-based Bonus + Vitae-based Bonus + Willpower + Other Positive Modifiers – Defense – Armor – Other Negative Modifiers
Defense – Lowest of Wits or Dexterity
- Firearms at range (that is Medium and Long; if people are within their striking distance that is not range) ignore Defense; Each attack that uses Defense drops the Defense trait by one. Celerity ignores this penalty from multiple attackers (ie: under normal circumstances may not be dropped).
- If you do an action that costs your defense, you may not attempt a later action that utilizes Defense
  - For instance, if you use Defense to apply to an attacker’s pool, you could not later in the same round use All Out Attack, because AOA requires the lose of Defense
Speed – Strength + Dexterity + Species Factor (Generally 5 for Humans)
- Generally goes to Footchase rules if a party is fleeing and the two are within 2-3 Speed of each other (and fair escape isn’t allowed). Footchase Rules Pg 65 WoD
Initiative – Dexterity + Composure

Vitae – +2 Dice on Physical Trait
Willpower – +3 Dice on 1 Action, +2 to Defense for 1 Action or +2 to a Trait when it’s subtracting from their roll.

Hold – Forfeit your action until all other Actions have been done in that round, then choose whether you'd like to take an action. Holds go in initiative order.
Delayed Action - Forfeit your action until a point of your choosing. Once that point has been reached, you may act at an initiative of 1 less than the person taking the action that propmpted your character's action. Delayed Actions take place in initiative order.
Prepared Action – You PM a Storyteller exactly how your character will react in accordance if, and only if, certain requirements are met. If they are not met before the Hold-section of Initiative, your prepared action becomes a regular Hold. If they are met, you act at an initiative of 1 higher than the person taking that action that prompted your character's action. Prepared Actions take place in initiative order.
Hold Over Round – Sacrifice your action in one round to go anywhere in the initiative order on the very next round.
