Actions can be delayed to any time later in the order of initiative. Declare any multiple actions, reducing dice pools accordingly. Declare Discipline activation and Willpower expenditure. Stage Two: Attack For unarmed close-combat attacks, roll Dexterity + Brawl For armed close-combat attacks, roll Dexterity + Melee For ranged combat, roll Dexterity + Firearms (guns) or Dexterity + Athletics (thrown weapons) A character can abort to a defensive action (block, dodge, parry) at any time before her action is performed, as long as you make a successful Willpower roll (or a Willpower point is spent) Stage Three: Resolution Determine total damage effect (weapon type or maneuver), adding any extra dice gained from successes on the attack roll Targets may attempt to soak damage if possible.
