This allows for a more granular and complex style of combat, which is highly desirable in games where combat is a primary focus. Tactical combat uses the same action rules as regular combat, as well as familiar concept...")

This goes beyond the usual understanding of accessibility as being "features which make something useable by persons with disabilities", and into the deeper core of making the game as broadly playable as possible. In general we have the following principles as a result: * No gameplay rule should require a player to have a specific physical or mental ability. Care shou...")

Depending on your setting and the sort of gameplay your group prefers, you may wind up in combat during the run of a Tarnished Tale adventure, as well. Like much the rest of the rule set, Combat is modular and subject to modification. You are encouraged to discuss which rules for combat you will use (and possibly, if using multiple styles, when you will use them) with your play group, b...")

They represent the realized potential a character had in seven areas of capability at the time of character creation.
