Armor: Base 1. An attack succeeds when a d20 roll is greater than your armor.
Damage: Base attack rolls a d4, increased by equipment.
Speed: Determines the turn order. Players roll a d20 and add their speed from equipment.
Special Effects: Some equipment may grant special effects, such as affecting how opponents choose their targets.
