Combat Options/Procedures:

Each 12 second combat round is divided into 5 basic steps:

STEP 1:  Opponent Action Determination. DM Secretly determines
         action of NPCÕs.
STEP 2:  PC Action Declaration. Player characters state what
         actions they will be taking this turn. Declarations need
         not be specific. But must at least fall into one of the
         categories listed below. (Sometimes this is not possible.
         And then the player must be more specific.)
STEP 3:  Initiative. A random player rolls for the party. 1 player
         rolls for the party, this roll determines which side goes
         first in each of the 5 action phases.
STEP 4:  Resoultion of Actions. Players and DM make all die rolls,
         and rules consultations necessary to resolve each
         characters/NPCÕs action(s).
STEP 5:  End-of-Round Resolution. Adjusting Fatigue points. 
         Determining status of characters and NPCÕs
