In a World Where Bricks RuleLife is a constant battle. Or something kind of

like a battle, anyway.These rules will show you how those kind-of-

battles play out.

CharactersCharacters are defined by four

main attributes:

Level an approximation of thecharacters combat ability and

toughness.

Class lets you know what

special abilities the characterhas.

Defense how hard it is to hit

the character with an attack.

Range indicates whether or

not the character is able toattack characters with which it isnot in contact. A character either

has range, or it doesnt.

Combat

To begin each round, one player rolls four six-sideddice (4d6). All characters with a defense value less

than or equal to the roll can act this round. Players(starting with the youngest) take turns activating onecharacter at a time. When all characters have acted,a new round begins.

Characters can take two actions when activated.

They may move, attack, or perform an actionindicated by a special ability. Characters may alsoleave any actions unused.

To move, a character is moved up to one full length,in a straight line. A length can be any convenientdistance agreed upon by players and reasonable tothe size of the figures. (For conventional brickfigures, a 16-stud brick is pretty useful.) A charactercannot move through or over tall objects (includingother characters). Moving through difficult terrain(swamps, thick brush, etc.) requires two move

actions to be spent for each move performed. If acharacter is in base contact with an enemy, one moveaction must be spent to break free. A move actionmay also be spent to pick up a weapon or other item,or to climb onto an object.

5/8

An attack may be made by one character on anotherif the two characters are in contact (at least basecontact) or are within one length of each other if the

attacking character has a ranged attack. To attack,roll a d20 and add the attacking characters level(plus any modifiers indicated by special abilities orcombat conditions). If the result is equal to or greaterthan the targets defense value, the attack issuccessful, and the defending character is given one

hit.

Attack modifiers:

Melee attack by a character with range attack: -2

Target is at a lower elevation: +2

Target has

50% cover: -2 Target is in contact with a character on the same

side as the attacker: -2

When a character has sustained hits equal to orgreater than its level, the character is knocked out

and removed from the battle. The battle ends whenonly one side has characters remaining orwhen anagreed-upon objective is completed (such ascapturing a base).
