Many variables can affect the outcome of a combat.
| Situation | Modifier |
|---|---|
| Attacker on higher ground | +1 |
| Defender off balance | +2 |
| Defender sleeping or held | Automatic* |
| Defender grappled | +4 |
| Defender stunned or prone | +4 |
| Defender surprised | +1 |
| Rear attack | +3 |
*When the defender is attacked, the attack automatically hits. If unarmoured (donned or natural), the attack also instantly kills the target. This only works on creatures of large size or smaller.
