The Anaxes Dueling System
The Anaxes Dueling System is a roll system most often utilized for smaller scale combat situations, such as one on one duels, or for situations of small group combat, such as a pair of Jedi fighting against a team of Sith. However, it is ultimately up to the Dungeon Master (DM) to determine what does and does not count as a situation where the Swarm System is applied on their missions. They may also choose to add other buffs, debuffs, or situations which may require rolls beyond these, which will be explained by the DM in the moment.
General Disclaimer: All rolls are d20 based for mission actions, story rolls, or dueling. The Dungeon Master (DM) may specify rolls are needed for a specific action during the course of a mission, and rolls are typically required during combat.
Important Note: When you face a combatant of an equal IC rank, Defense rolls win all ties unless explicitly overwritten by a Combat/Force Form or Force/Tech Ability modifier. If one person is of a higher IC rank, then their rolls will win all ties unless explicitly overwritten by a Combat/Force Form or Force/Tech Ability modifier.
Baseline Beginning Stats by Rank:
Note: FP/TP does not reset during missions except with extenuating circumstances and at DM discretion.
Jedi Rank Military Rank Hit Points (HP) Force Points (FP) Initiate Private 3 10 Padawan Specialist / Corporal 4 12 Knight Sergeant 5 14 Knight Exemplar First Sergeant 5 16 Master Lieutenant 6 18 Council / Revered Master Captain 7 18 GM / MotO – 8 18 Damage Dealt and Received:
For each successful attack, a certain number of health points (HP) are deducted from the player total. This typically applies to the amount of damage a player can deal to an NPC as well.
Attack Type Damage Lightsaber / Blaster 2HP Force / Tech Ability Based on Ability Unarmed – Unaugmented 1HP Unarmed – Augmented 2HP Other DM Discretion Saber Form Bonuses
How to read the charts: The trait learned at that particular level carries though for each subsequent level (ie, beginner traits are valid even if the Form is Mastered). The Atk Bonus or Def Bonus is what is added onto your roll for the level of proficiency you know. Other traits in the form of bonuses or detriments are indicated as they are gained as well. When rolling against Force/Tech Attacks, you do not apply any of these traits to your rolls unless specifically indicated on the modifier, only the Atk Bonus and Def Bonus highlighted in Grey on each chart.
Advanced Saber Types: The ability for a lightsaber form to be utilized using Saberstaff, Jar’kai, and Saberpike is listed on the table as well. While these provide no mechanical alterations in our roll system, they provide interesting and engaging flavor to your specific character’s repertoire. These must also be independently trained once you know the basic variation of the Form, and can be taught by any qualified Lightsaber Instructor.
Augment Abilities: Those Force Abilities listed as Augment Abilities in the chart below and may be used in conjunction with your Saber Form of choice to boost your roll accordingly. On the list of Force Abilities below the Saber Form chart, these will be highlighted in Blue and accompanied by a YES in the corresponding field.
Combat Point System: Starting at Knight Exemplar, you get 2 points you can apply to any mastered Lightsaber Form. For every Combat Point spent this way, you receive an additional +1 to the attack and defense roll to the existing Form modifier for that Form. You may only place up to 1 point in any one mastered form. Upon promotion to Master, the player will receive another 2 points (4 total) and may spend them as they see fit. You may now place up to 2 total points in any one mastered form. Each Combat Point spent costs 5 Progression Points for a potential total of 20 Progression Points spent.
YOU MAY ONLY SWITCH BETWEEN YOUR SABER FORM/BAKUUNI HAND, SABER VARIANT, FORCE FORM, OR NIMAN PASSIVE DURING THE ATTACK PHASE OF YOUR TURN! NIMAN USERS MAY FREELY CHOOSE THEIR STARTING PASSIVE MODIFIER AT THE BEGINNING OF COMBAT.
SABER ACTIVES DO NOT STACK WITH AUGMENT FORCE ABILITIES.

How to read the charts: The trait learned at that particular level carries though for each subsequent level (ie, beginner traits are valid even if the Form is Mastered). The Atk Bonus or Def Bonus is what is added onto your roll for the level of proficiency you know. Other traits in the form of bonuses or detriments are indicated as they are gained as well. When rolling against Force/Tech Attacks, you do not apply any of these traits to your rolls unless specifically indicated on the modifier.
Augment Abilities: Those Force Abilities listed as Augment Abilities in the chart above may be used in conjunction with Bakuuni Hand and boost your roll accordingly. On the list of Force Abilities below the Bakuuni Hand chart, these will be highlighted in Blue.
Combat Point System: starting at Knight Exemplar, you get 2 points you can apply to any mastered Combat Form, including Bakuuni Hand. For every Combat Point spent this way on Bakuuni Hand, you receive an additional +1 to the attack and defense roll to the existing Form modifier for Bakuuni Hand. You may only place up to 1 point in any one mastered form. Upon promotion to Master, the player will receive another 2 points (4 total) and may spend them as they see fit.

Flurry of Blows Combination: Make up to 3 strikes; either to 1, 2, or 3 targets (2HP of dmg); 2FP
Def Bonus +0 +1 +2 +3 Against Lightsabers and Blasters take -4 on Atk and Def rolls. Each level this decreases by 1 (max -1 at Master) Bakuuni Hand Form Integration: Highly skilled practitioners of both the lightsaber and Bakuuni Hand are often able to interweave their attacks into the flow of lightsaber combat. Because of this, people who are both and Expert in their Lightsaber Form of choice as well as an Expert in Bakuuni hand may, as their Augment Ability for the attack, send an additional attack in Bakuuni Hand using their Form Bonus as a modifier (Expert +2, Master +3). This additional attack costs 2FP to initiate and deals 1HP of damage to the target.
Bakuuni Hand Fighting Styles: As Jedi progress in Bakuuni Hand, the Combat Form takes on a style all its own, unique to the individual. Because of this, Experts and higher of the Form are expected to be able to demonstrate this unique style in the field as well as in practice. At Expert proficiency, a user of Bakuuni Hand may pick from one of the following general combat styles. The names of the style are in no way a limitation of how this bonus manifests in emotes, but exists rather as a descriptive helper for those uncertain of which specialization they may choose.
These modifiers only apply to Basic Attacks used within Bakuuni Hand. They do not apply to the Flurry of Blows abilities, the Power Strike ability, or when using Bakuuni Hand strikes as Augment Abilities for Saber Forms.
Bakuuni Hand Fighting Styles Name Modifier The Brawler Advantage on Attack Rolls (roll 2d20, take the greater of the 2) The Wall Advantage on Defense Rolls against Melee threats (roll 2d20, take the greater of the 2) The Skirmisher Advantage on Defense Rolls against Ranged threats (roll 2d20, take the greater of the 2) The Duelist +2 on Attack/Defense rolls while fighting a single opponent The Whirlwind +2 on Attack/Defense rolls while fighting multiple opponents Force Form Bonuses
General Note: Force Forms are generally utilized by Jedi who wish to augment their power in using Standalone Abilities in the Force. While most are significantly weaker in melee combat, these forms provide powerful bonuses to the user by making your Force abilities more accurate, more potent, cheaper to manifest, or provide a wide variety of other possible benefits to the user.
How to read the charts: The trait learned at that particular level carries though for each subsequent level (ie, beginner traits are valid even if the Form is Mastered). The Atk Bonus or Def Bonus is what is added onto your roll for the level of proficiency you know. Other traits in the form of bonuses or detriments are indicated as they are gained as well.
Augment Abilities: Those Force Abilities listed as Augment Abilities in the chart above may be used in conjunction with your basic Force Form modifiers of choice and boost your roll accordingly. On the list of Force Abilities below the Force Form chart, these will be highlighted in Blue.
Combat Point System: starting at Knight Exemplar, you get 2 points you can apply to any mastered Force Form.

Upon promotion to Master, the player will receive another 2 points (4 total) and may spend them as they see fit. You may now place up to 2 total points in any one mastered form.

Force Abilities
All of the Force Abilities in the Anaxes Dueling System cost some of your pool of FP/TP. The size of your pool is indicated by your IC rank, as indicated in the first table on this page. How much an ability costs is determined by its level of power. Your character is limited in what maximum level of abilities they can manifest by their IC level. If you are deemed to have ICly achieved Mastery of an ability of Padawan tier or higher, subtract 1 from the cost of the ability.
Ability Level FP Cost Initiate, Recruit 1 Padawan, Enlisted 2 Knight / NCO 3 Master / Officer 4 The chart below indicates which Force Abilities have a place within the Dueling Roll System. Many of these powers are Standalone Abilities and do not stack with your Saber Form when using the Dueling Roll System. Powers that are Augment Abilities are those that are able to be used in conjunction with your Saber Form, and will be marked with a YES on the table and also highlighted in Blue along with a YES in the indicator field.
Powers that are Mind Shields may be established at the beginning of your attack turn and do NOT count against your use of an attack or an Augment Ability for the round. A Mind Shield‘s maximum strength and cost is based upon your proficiency as well as the tier of the ability itself, and remains intact until broken. Your Mind Shield may be triggered by choice against any skill of a lower tier (based on proficiency used) than it, or it may be automatically triggered by a skill of equal or higher tier (based on proficiency used) than it. If your Mind Shield successfully defends you, your opponent’s roll loses any numerical bonus from the mind-affecting ability they attempted to use against you on their defense, and it will negate the use of Standalone Abilities on attack entirely. Once your Mind Shield is spent, it cannot be reapplied until the start of your next Attack turn.
When using a Standalone Ability, you apply any listed bonuses to your attack roll. When defending against a Standalone Ability, you may choose to either defend using the modifiers from your Combat Form plus any additional Augment Ability, or you may defend using another Standalone Ability, applying the modifiers the same as you would on an attack.
General Note: Highest Number wins. Defender wins tie unless attacker is higher rank or specifically stated in form or weapon mechanics used.
Mastery Clause for Non-Combat Situations: Upon rolling a d100, even if the roll is low, a player with a mastered ability will have some type of success, albeit minimal.

The 5th Omega Dueling System
Combat Form Bonuses
How to read the charts: The trait learned at that particular level carries through for each subsequent level (ie, beginner traits are valid even if the Form is Mastered). The Atk Bonus or Def Bonus is what is added onto your roll for the level of proficiency you know. Other traits in the form of bonuses or detriments are indicated as they are gained as well. When rolling against Force/Tech Attacks, you do not apply any of these traits to your rolls unless specifically indicated on the modifier, only the Atk Bonus and Def Bonus highlighted in Grey on each chart.
YOU MAY ONLY SWITCH BETWEEN YOUR COMBAT FORM/REPUBLIC MARTIAL ARTS DURING THE ATTACK PHASE OF YOUR TURN!

How to read the charts: The trait learned at that particular level carries through for each subsequent level (ie, beginner traits are valid even if the Form is Mastered). The Atk Bonus or Def Bonus is what is added onto your roll for the level of proficiency you know. Other traits in the form of bonuses or detriments are indicated as they are gained as well. When rolling against Tech Attacks, you do not apply any of these traits to your rolls unless specifically indicated on the modifier.
YOU MAY ONLY SWITCH BETWEEN YOUR COMBAT FORM/REPUBLIC MARTIAL ARTS DURING THE ATTACK PHASE OF YOUR TURN!
COMBAT ACTIVES DO NOT STACK WITH AUGMENT TECH ABILITIES.
Reminder Note: Highest Number wins. Defender wins tie unless the attacker is higher rank or specifically stated in form or weapon mechanics used.

Because of this, people who are both an Expert in their Combat Form* choice as well as an Expert in Republic Martial Arts may, as their Augment Ability for the attack, send an additional attack in Republic Martial Arts using their Form Bonus as a modifier (Expert +2, Master +3). This additional attack costs 2FP to initiate and deals 1HP of damage to the target.
Republic Martial Arts Fighting Styles: As a soldier progresses in Republic Martial Arts, the Combat Form takes on a style all its own, unique to the individual. Because of this, Experts and higher of the Form are expected to be able to demonstrate this unique style in the field as well as in practice. At Expert proficiency, a user of Republic Martial Arts may pick from one of the following general combat styles. The names of the style are in no way a limitation of how this bonus manifests in emotes, but exists rather as a descriptive helper for those uncertain of which specialization they may choose.
These modifiers only apply to Basic Attacks used within Republic Martial Arts. They do not apply to the Flurry of Blows abilities, the Disabling Strike ability, or when using Republic Martial Arts strikes as Augment Abilities for Combat Forms.
Republic Martial Arts Fighting Styles Name Modifier The Brawler Advantage on Attack Rolls (roll 2d20, take the greater of the 2) The Wall Advantage on Defense Rolls against Melee threats (roll 2d20, take the greater of the 2) The Skirmisher Advantage on Defense Rolls against Ranged threats (roll 2d20, take the greater of the 2) The Duelist +2 on Attack/Defense rolls while fighting a single opponent The Whirlwind +2 on Attack/Defense rolls while fighting multiple opponents Cover System
The Cover System allows troopers to take cover on the field for protection or during combat for tactical advantage. There are two types of cover: half and full. Cover may be taken on initiative for free and can be taken after in lieu of your action. If a player fails a defense roll while behind cover, the cover sustains the damage it can take before it transfers to the player. For example, if a soldier was behind half cover and an attack hit with 3 damage, the cover is destroyed and the soldier takes 1 damage. When your piece of cover loses all its HP, it is considered unusable for the remainder of the session. A player will need to either find new cover or lose the benefits.
Note: This applies for ranged attacks. Any melee attacks done past or over a player’s cover will not strike the cover.
Type of Cover Hit Points (HP) Mechanic Half Cover 2 Can attack from cover. Full Cover 4 Cannot attack from cover. Reloading
Each weapon that can be used within the 5OC roll system has a specific amount of turns that it can be used before it needs to be reloaded, the only exception being melee weapons. The reload time for each weapon is listed in the mechanic spreadsheet. Once you reach the turns specified in which your character has to reload, you have two options. The first is to reload the weapon, this will cost you one turn and you forgo your attack. The second is to swap weapons and continue fighting, but if you want to switch back to the weapon that is out of ammo, you must still spend a turn reloading it.
