Combat Description Cards

Over 700 System Neutral Ways to Describe Combat on 120 Cards.

Combat Description Cards are ingeniously set up and easy to use. The cards divide themselves into three types of damage: Piercing, Blunt, and Slashing. Each type is then broken down into three attack styles: Finesse, Power, and Range. Each style has a clear, readable one-word Action-Word and sample descriptions that sparks your imagination. The first example description illustrates a successful attack by the hero, and the second option depicts the hero vanquishing a foe!

Too often we see combat being run with just a hit/don't hit binary, plus damage. With these cards, you can infuse combat with story and bring the combatants to life.

Written by Novelist, organized by GameMasters: In composition, the deck contains three suits. These suits correspond to the well-known attack types of blunt, piercing, and slashing. Then, the action words and their examples are broken up into the generic fighting styles of Finesse, Power and Range. This quickly leads to an action word appropriate to the combat scene. Card users can choose to use the action word as the center of their own combat description or use one of the two example phases presented on the card. There are example phases for both notable strikes and fatal strikes.

**BLUNT:** Damaged caused by non-penetrating force.

**SLASHING:** Damaged caused by a sharp edge.

**PIERCING:** Damaged caused by a sharp point.

This storytelling tool:
