+\section{Attributes}
+
+Main attributes range are \emph{Strength}, \emph{Dexterity},
+\emph{Constitution}, \emph{Intelligence}, \emph{Perception},
+and \emph{Charisma}. Their ranks go from 0 to 10. With 5 being
+the average.
+
+\( Modifier = Rank - 5 \).
+
+Raising costs five times the new modifier:
+
+\( Cost = NewModifier * 5 \)
+
+Hit points are calculated from constitution and strength:
+
+\( Hit Points = 25 + CON Rank + STR Rank \)
+
+Maximum speed is calculate from strength and dexterity:
+
+\( Speed = 5 + DEX Mod + STR Mod \)
+
+Maximum effort is calculated from constitution and strength:
+
+\( Effort = 10 + (CON Mod + STR Mod) * 2 \)
+
+Effort can be spent before rolling to gain the amount of effort spent as a flat
+bonus to the next check.
+
+Carrying capacity is calculated from constitution and strength:
+
+\( Capacity = 10 + CON Mod + STR Mod \)
+
+\section{Movement}
+
+Movement is done in a round by spending speed points. If a character has
+no more speed points left, he can take a full round to regain speed points.
+
+\begin{center}
+\begin{tabular}{ll}
+Movement                     & Cost             \\
+Moving                       & 1 per metre      \\
+Running                      & 1 per two metres \\
+Jumping                      & 2 per metres     \\
+Jumping (running head start) & 1 per metre      \\
+Crawling                     & 2 per metre      \\
+Climbing                     & 3 per metre      \\
+Change combat stance         & 1                \\
+Recover from prone           & 2
+\end{tabular}
+\end{center}
+
+\emph{Difficult terrain} (stairs, snow, mud, slippery surfaces) doubles the
+cost. Effort can be used in stead, or to complement speed points.
+
+\section{Skills}
+
+Activation cost is 1 for normal skills, and 10 for special skills.
+Unactivated skill may only use negative ability modifiers.
+
+\( 1d10 + MOD1 + MOD2 + RANK + Morale \)
+
+The result must exceed or be equal to the DC.

+Aiming bonus to DC is lost is lost unless the shot is fired in the same round.
+Reload time may vary from weapon to weapon.
+
+\section{Melee Combat}
+
+\subsection{Attack}
+
+\(1d10 + Melee Combat + STR Mod + DEX Mod \)
+
+\subsection{Dodge}
+
+\(1d10 + Dodging + DEX Mod + PER Mod \)
+
+This value has to be greater than the attack.
+
+If the defender is flat footed (not aware of the action) he may not dodge. If
+the defender has no more action left he takes a cumulative -2 penalty on each
+additional dodge attempt.
+
+\subsection{Blocking}
+
+\(1d10 + CON Mod + STR Mod \)
+
+This value has to be greater than the attack. If blocking is successful then
+the damage is halved.
+
+\section{Damage}
+
+\subsection{Recover HP}
+
+Recovering HP with \emph{Medicine}:
+
+\(DC = \frac{HP Lost}{2} \)
+
+Recovering HP with \emph{First Aid}:
+
+\(DC = HP Lost\)
+
+This DC is used for diagnosis and then for treatment. First, diagnose to
+determine if the difference of your roll and your DC gives you a bonus to
+your treatment or a penalty.
+
+Then treat the damage with the same DC, but add (or subtract) the diagnose
+penalty or bonus:
+
+\(1d10 + Medicine + PER Mod + INT Mod + Diagnose Bonus\)
+
+\subsection{Death}
+
+Your character is dead if his hit points are at negative maximum hit points
+minus any suffered wounds.
+
+\(Death = HP <= ((Maximum HP - Wounds) * -1)\)
+
+\subsection{Staying Conscious}
+
+If your hit points drop below zero you have to roll if you remain conscious.
+
+\(DC = abs(Damage Below 0)\)
+
+\subsection{Wounds}
+
+On taking damage the character rolls to see if he sustains a wound.
+
+\(DC = Damage Taken \)
+
+The damage taken after armour, but before any zone multipliers is the DC
+for the check. On failure, the character takes one wound damage, which
+lowers his maximum HP. Wounds stack with each other.
+
+Recovering wounds works the same as recovering HP, except that the wound
+total is used instead of the HP lost. See above for further information.
+
+\section{States}
+
+\begin{center}
+\begin{tabularx}{\textwidth}{lp{4cm}}
+\textbf{State}     & \textbf{Penalty}                                      \\
+Blinded            & Cannot use PER mod or rank, +1 speed for all movement \\
+Deafened           & Cannot use PER mod or rank                            \\
+Nauseated          & -1 penalty on skill checks                            \\
+Sickened           & Depends on sickness                                   \\
+Stunned            & Cannot take actions or move                           \\
+Unconscious        & Is considered still, cannot move or take actions
+\end{tabularx}
+\end{center}
+
+If the character is \emph{blinded} and \emph{deafened} at the same time, the
+perception rank is considered to be at 1 (-4 modifier).
+
+\section{Morale}
+
+Morale ranges from -3 to +3. With -3 being despair, 0 being neutral and
++3 being an almost religious like frenzy to achieve the goal. Normally it is
+at 0. It is used as a bonus or penalty on all checks.
+
+To raise moral use \emph{Oratory} against the following DC:
+
+\(DC = 5 + abs(Morale)\)
