Now that you have got the basic idea, lets get to the meat, the juice, combat.

Determine surprise. The force of Demise are legion, but they are genrally disorganized and dim witted. Usually the heroes will get the jump on their foes, but if in doubt, Wisdom is the governing virtue, characters failing to roll a successes, being surprised and unable to act on the first round.

Next, determine who goes first. Again, the forces of Demise are genrally dim witted, and normally the players are going to act first. When in doubt, Courage is the governing virtue.

Combat rounds are very short in PWC, and feel free to skip a player who isn’t ready. In PWC, you get ONE ACTION, per turn, that is it.Its fast. Basic actions are move, sprint charge, rest, attack, drop n draw (swap weapon), use item, cast magic and flee. Basic counter-actions are: fall back, stand and receive, stand and shoot, counter charge, defend, flurry rush, opportunity attack, and pursue.

Heroes begin the game with three hearts, as that is tradition.

You have three attributes, Each time you take an action or resist an action, use your one of your three attributes, and that attribute is exhausted and doesn’t refresh until the start of the next turn. If you are attacked and all your attributes are exhausted, you roll a d4 to defend.

If you perform the same action, on the same targert, as you did the previous round, you may roll an additional die, called an momentum die, equal to the attribute you are using. You may do this one the following round again, rolling a total of three dice, but this is where you cap out. If you deal damage or perform a different action or select a different target, momentum dice are discarded.

got the basic idea, lets Every game needs a core mechanic, an abstraction that can easily explained and used to facility conflict resolution, and Power - Wisdom - Courage (PWC) is no different. In fact, its right there in the name. Every character in PWC, is defined by three attributes or virtues: Power, Wisdom and Courage (the three virtues of the Triforce and the foundational artifact of Hyrule).

Unlike other games, where your attributes provide a flat bonus to die roll, in PWC, stats are the die, which starting out as d6. Depending of your character’s ancestry, one of your attributes will be increased one “step”, to a d8. Your stats represent not just your raw talent with that attribute, but your training, energy and luck as well. A d6 in a stat represents someone who is totally normal and healthy. A d4 might be someone who is elderly or sick. A d8 is someone who has devoted energy into developing those set of skills. A d10 is someone who has mastery of that virtue, and a d12 is someone who is truly great.

When rolling to see if you succeed on a task, you need to see if you roll a success. A success is achieved by rolling a +4 or higher on a die. Some challenges will require multiple successes, each attempt taking time, recourses or both.

Each attribute covers a broad range of skills, strengths amd challenges as described below:
