Combat

Combat is the process by which armed conflicts between player characters and hostile Monsters or NPCs are resolved. It generally occurs in the course of Adventuring whenever a Party encounters such enemies in The Wilds, though savvy players can sometimes avoid fighting through stealth, diplomacy, or other means. When combat begins, each participant rolls Initiative, to determine who acts first. Combatants then take turns acting (see https://5thsrd.org/combat/actions_in_combat/) until either all player characters or all enemies have fled, surrendered, or been reduced to zero Hit Points. A Party which emerges victorious from Combat will generally receive an XP reward for the encounter once they finish their adventure.
