Getting Started

Usage

Creating Characters

using SteelkiltSharp.Core;

var warrior = new Character(
    "Sir Roland",
    new Attributes(8, 7, 7, 5, 5, 6, 5, 6, 5),
    weaponSkill: 7,
    dodgeSkill: 5,
    Weapon.LongSword(),
    Armor.Chain());

Basic Combat

using SteelkiltSharp.Core;

var result = Combat.CombatRound(attacker, defender, DefenseAction.Parry);
Console.WriteLine(result);

Ranged Combat

using SteelkiltSharp.Modules;

var archer = new Character(/* ... */)
{
    RangedWeapon = RangedWeapon.LongBow(),
    RangedSkill = 8
};

var result = RangedCombat.RangedAttack(archer, target, distance: 50);

Magic System

using SteelkiltSharp.Modules;

var wizard = new Character(/* ... */)
{
    Magic = new MagicUser()
};

wizard.Magic.SetBranchSkill(MagicBranch.Elementalism, 8);

var fireball = MagicSystem.Spells.Fireball();
wizard.Magic.PrepareSpell(fireball);

var result = MagicSystem.CastSpell(wizard, fireball);

Combat Mechanics

Attack Resolution

1. Attacker rolls: Weapon Skill + d10 + Modifiers
2. Defender rolls: Weapon Skill (parry) or Dodge Skill + d10 + Modifiers
3. If attack > defense: Hit!
4. Damage = (Attack Roll - Defense Roll) + Strength Bonus + Weapon Damage - Armor Protection
5. Wound severity determined by damage vs. defender's Constitution

Wound Levels

• Light Wound: Damage < Constitution
• Severe Wound: Damage ≥ Constitution
• Critical Wound: Damage ≥ Constitution × 2

Strength Bonus

• STR ≤ 2: -1 damage
• STR ≥ 7: +1 damage
• STR ≥ 9: +2 damage

Magic Branches

2. Alchemy: Material transformation
3. Elementalism: Fire, ice, lightning
4. Enchantment: Enhancement and buff magic
5. Illusion: Deception and trickery
6. Necromancy: Death and undeath
7. Summoning: Creature summoning
