Knockback changed again. Because I'm too lazy to do real maths in the middle of a game, we go with this:

No Initiative rolls. No actions take Initiative. It's all role-play, with good dialogue being stunts. The mechanics are being used, but you'll find no Social Flurries here. Live with it.
  
Once hit, make a Stamina+Resistance check at a difficulty equal to (The amount of <b>Post-soak</b> damage done in excess of your Stamina+Resistance). For every point you fail this check by, you are knocked back 1 yard.

Once all players have rolled Base Init, working from the lowest value up, players decree how many splits they plan to make. They do not have to allocate actions to these. Once all players have allocated splits, the players with the highest Base Init goes first, and may act as normal. If at any time, a player wants to make a defensive action before their Base Init, they can, but it will use their highest split level, with penalty worked out as normal.

Training: [[DeathBySurfeit/PowerTrainingTimes|PowerTrainingTimes]]. The summary is that you do not need to spend the day training and doing nothing else, instead every day you may count one day of training for any purpose. Stunting a montage may net you faster training. (Kudos:DeathBySurfeit)
  
If a player engages in melee combat, compare Melee Init. Whichever player has a higher Melee Init will act first, regardless of Base Init.

Attacking: You may split your attack up to your [Rate] times. The penalty on the attacks is worked out as normal, -[n]/-[n+1]/-[n+2]... where [n] is the number of attacks being made.

Defending: Your defense pools are reduced by [n] after making your action. This penalty lasts only during your action. After your action, your defense pools are back to full. Each successive attack you defend against reduces your pools by [1], to a minimum of [0]. You always get a defense action, just at this diminished pool. (Kudos:Darloth, mostly)

Weapons: All weapon's profiles are revamped, and can be found at DarSys/WeaponTable. (Kudos:Darloth)
