* When moving uphill or over very rough terrain, reduce the distance covered by 3/4 the amount shown.

** Swimming with fins, add 5 ft./turn to the distance covered.

These modifiers alter the injury points sustained when the defensive character is hit; most are dependent on the offensive fighter's traits.

On the Untrained Combat Table, the attacker must indicate whether a blow or hold is being used before the defender selects his or her defenses.

* Possible only if opponent is prone or kneeling.

+ No damage, but hold successful.

** Hold unsuccessful, broken.

An attack on this table may only be made if the attacker has a knife. The attack is always made with the hand containing the knife. Switching the knife from one hand to the other counts as an action. The defender may select one defense from Block, Point Block, Catch and one from all the other defenses. Point Block may be chosen only if the defender also has a knife, and only to the side which the knife is on.

An Agent may take three total actions on this table —up to two attacks and up to two defenses.

If an attack combination (throw with lock) is used, the attacker must attempt to use a lock next turn. The attacker must also specify whether Holds or Throws are going to be used before the defender selects defenses.

* Hold unsuccessful, broken.

One may choose one arm and one leg or two arm defenses. However, the Center Block defense does not permit the use of a second arm defense. Remember that both sides of a maneuver cannot be chosen (thus no Arm Block Left, Arm Block Right combinations). However, an Arm Block Left, Leg Block Right would be perfectly acceptable.
