Resistances

All characters have Damage Resistance and Damage Threshold for each damage type. Resistance is a percentage reduction, whilst threshold is a flat number reduction.

Only the greater of the two reductions will be applied against any one attack, not both.

The resistible damage types are Mechanical, Heat, Cold, Electricity, Acid, Energy and Bio.

The electric damage from Neural Overload is irresistible, but can be reduced by your Resolve. Mitigation for this is capped at ~40%.

Some psi abilities also deal irresistible mental damage.

Shielding

All damage sources have an Impact Speed, which can be Very Low (melee weapons), Low (crossbows, chemical weapons), Medium (low-powered firearms), High (rifles) or Very High (high-powered rifles, energy weapons).

Shields can absorb certain amounts of damage based on its impact speed. Slower impact speeds are generally better against shielded enemies.

NOTE: Shields are not yet in-game as of version 0.1.9.1.

Stealth: Your effective stealth skill level. Derived from Stealth skill. Can be affected by feats and items.

Detection: Your chance to detect stealthed enemies and traps. Finding secret areas is based purely on perception. Derived from Perception and character level. Can be affected by feats and items.

In this case the player will always act first, but the AP cost of the opening attack/action will be deducted from the player's first turn. Additionally, this also applies to some other non-combat action performed just before entering combat, such as opening doors.

Initiating combat from stealth adds 100 to initiative.

Classic XP System

The experience needed to level up is completely linear, each level requiring 1000 experience more than the former.

Experience is gained from quest completion, kills, skill usage, finding secrets and oddities.

Action and movement points

All characters have 50 AP. They can be used for any action, including moving. Most actions consume AP, but there are exceptions. (e.g. Special Tactics)

Wearing armor without meeting its strength requirement will reduce your action points.[2]

Character base movement points equal 30 + extra 3 points for every point in agility above 5. Movement Points can only be used for moving.

Movement points are affected by agility, encumberance and some feats.

Some creatures, such dogs and spawn, have natural bonus to movement points.

Chance to hit

Your Precision is based on weapon skill and target's evasion or dodge skill in case of guns/crossbows or melee. Ranged weapon precision is heavily affected by darkness and various other situational penalties. Darkness penalty can be counteracted with night vision goggles, flares and luring enemies into ambient light.

All of the precision penalties are counted after your weapon skill, so you cannot completely mitigate them with high weapon skill alone.

Precision decreases with distance for all ranged weapons including throwing
Precision further decreases beyond weapon's optimal range
Crossbows and heavy guns may have Move and Shoot penalty
Crossbows and heavy guns may also have Close Quarters penalty at melee range
Low durability: any Degraded Weapon or Heavily Degraded Weapon has reduced precision
Throwing weapons can land up to 3 tiles away from target with imprecise throws
