MECHANICS:

COMBAT:
Three Anons roll their dice along a declared action (for example you roll 2d100 for "Slash"), with the first diceroll being the Combat roll, and the second diceroll being the Showmanship roll.

Your final Combat value is the best of all three Combat rolls, your final Showmanship value is the best of all three Showmanship rolls.

To beat a fight, you need to surpass its Combat Difficulty with your Combat value. If you don't, still you deal weaken the opponent proportionally to how close you were, lowering the Combat Difficulty for next round (exact amounts specified by the combat itself).

Showmanship isn't required but it's useful for buffing your Combat in other ways, and the higher your Showmanship, the more social advantages you'll generally get out of the fight/round of combat regardless of its outcome.

Actions:
- Slash: Roll 2d100.
(You start with just that, you may gain more)

Modifiers:
(These can be applied to any action.)
- (None): The default, eg. just "Slash". No modifier.
- Psy: Boost your action with your psyker powers, eg. "Psy Slash". Double the dice size of the action (eg. 2d100 becomes 2d200, 2d75 becomes 2d150, etc). You trigger a Psy Suspicion Check at the end of the dicerolls. If you roll dubs in the last two digits of any of the affected rolls, you suffer Warp Damage equal to the value of the dubs (eg. subs of 88 means 8 Warp Damage).

Psy Suspicion Check:
If you used the Psy action modifier at any point during a round, your final Showmanship value for that round must be equal or higher to your final Combat value. If it isn't, any available audience will suspect that you're a psyker, by a degree determined by how bad the difference is.

Other stats
- Physical Health Points (HP): Regular health. When this hits zero, you go unconcious and depending on the context, die. You can increase it with physical training and other methods. You begin with 10 HP.
- Warp Health Points (WP): This measures how well you are psychospiritually. It recovers over time (a good night's rest is enough to fully recover), especially quickly if you're content and mentally stable. The only way to increase it is by achieving major life milestones (for example, winning a big tournament, getting a kiss of true love, travelling by voidship for the first time, etc). You begin with 10 WP. If it reaches 0, severe warp consequences will happen.
