Combat (World of Darkness)

Combat is a supplement in which a catalogue of combat rules is offered for players who crave intricate—and brutal—fighting mechanics for the World of Darkness. Across 100 pages, the book delivers graphic illustrations and a large array of combat maneuvers that can be purchased using "Power Points" based on a character's attributes (e.g., dots in Brawl translate to available points). Combat Cards help players track these maneuvers. The supplement describes over 100 weapon and unarmed techniques, covering modifiers to initiative, damage, movement, and more. There is guidance on chaining maneuvers together and creating new ones, for players seeking personalized fighting styles. Expanding further, it explores 30 combat styles, from classic disciplines like karate and boxing to supernatural systems tailored to vampires, werewolves, and mages. Advice on integrating special powers into fights is presented. Appendices add new hit locations for realistic damage modeling, sample characters, and weapon techniques sorted by type—with lethal gear, including incendiary shells.^[1]
