Describes rules that relate to attempts to strike and hit enemy combatants. In general, the system is based upon that of the AD&D combat system, with essentially the same tables and turn-based method. Differences have been added through various adjustments meant to add flavour and complexity to the original.

The intent of the combat system is to add choice to the player's available actions while in combat. These details offer facets of strategy and tactical alternatives to straight-forward fighting, meaning that players can do more in a battle than merely swing again.
