= General Formula =

The formula used for most of the rolls looks like this :<br>
'''Success = 80% + (5% x STAT) - (5% x DIFFICULTY)'''
<br>
* A unit rolls a STAT against a DIFFICULTY.
* STAT can be the Willpower against a Fear or a Cast Difficulty, or the unit's Precision during an attack.
* DIFFICULTY can be a value of Fear, a Cast Difficulty, or an enemy's Parry during an attack.
* Chance minimum = 1, Chance maximum = 100

= Turn Initiative =

At the beginning of each turn, the game will decide which player plays first.<br>
This decision is based on each faction's discipline score :<br>
* Lion : 3
* Wolf : 1
* Ram : 0
A d6 roll is added to this score.<br>
The player with the higher result gets the initiative for the turn.<br>
In case of a draw, the base discipline is used without the d6 roll.<br>
In case of another draw, a coin is tossed.<br>
* 1 - d6 + discipline vs d6 + discipline
* 2 - discipline vs discipline
* 3 - random between the players (coin tossing)

= Hit Chance =

When a unit tries to hit an other unit, either on melee or range attack, it has to succeed a roll of its Precision against its target's Parry.<br>
'''Hit = 80% + (5% x Precision) - (5% x Parry)'''<br>
The damages inflicted are calculated depending on the units Damage and Resistance stats (see the Damage Table below).

=== Range Modifiers ===

When a ranged unit shoots on a distant target, its chances to hit depend on the obstacles on the projectile's path :
* If at least 1 light cover : -30% penalty
* If at least 1 heavy cover : -60% penalty (not cumulated with light cover)
* For each unit on the path : -15% penalty
Additional modifiers :
* short range : 20% bonus
* Long range : -40% penalty
* If the shooter moved : -10% penalty

=== Scatter ===

= Cast Chance =

= Damage Table =

DIFF = DAM (attacker) - TOU (target)<br>
DAMAGES = ((DIFF+16)²/40)+3<br>
(With minimum 1 damage after modifiers apply)<br>

= Fear =

When a unit with a FEAR X trait engages an enemy unit, a fear roll will be immediately triggered.<br>
If the targeted unit fails its roll, the passive effect "Scared" is applied until the end of the turn.<br>
If the targeted unit is immune to this FEAR X value, the "Scared" effect is canceled.<br>
<br>
A unit is immune to a FEAR X :
* If it has a fear immunity from a Trait or Skill.
* If it also possesses a level of FEAR superior or equal.
* If it already made a roll against an equal or inferior level of FEAR during the turn.
<br>
The formula used for the roll is :<br>
result (resist fear) = 80% + 5% x(WILL) - 5% x(FEAR)
<br>
<br>
Some precisions :
* Fear is applied immediately and in both ways when 2 units come close to each other, before any attack is computed.
* A new turn will trigger all necessary rolls immediately.
* A teleport or a skill modifying the FEAR level of a unit will trigger an immediate roll if necessary.
<br>

=== Bravery / Rightful ===

Fear immunity will prevent the penalties of a fear roll, but not the roll itself.<br>
The "Rightful" trait will not imply an automatic success for the rolls (only cancel the Scared penalty), meaning that the "Lion Strength" bonus will not be automatic.<br>
<br>

=== Hyperian Fear ===

A unit with "Hyperion Aura" is immune to normal fear, and will force units with normal fear to trigger fear rolls.<br>
The force of the fear applied is equal to the WILL of the Hyperian unit.<br>
