Rifts Combat MatrixThe Rifts Combat Matrix is acombination chart for keeping track ofindividual attacks and the number of melees,and a quick reference tool for the GameMaster. Combat is somewhat inevitable inmost games and keeping all the informationorganized can be a daunting task to newerGame Masters. Well now with the RiftsCombat Matrix, battles can flow a bit moresmoothly.a glint of a gun barrel reflecting in thedistance, while those who fail may loseinitiative and their first melee attack. In theend, Game Masters, you should do whatworks best for you. Use this information asyou see fit for your game.The remainder of the combat matrixis to keep track of melees and melee attacks.After initiative has been rolled, write downfrom first to last your initiative order next tothe first set of boxes.Top of the Combat MatrixThe top of the matrix has a section tolist the names of all of the Player Characters,NPCs and villains or monsters. Write all thenames down then when combat is expected,write down each character's initiative in the“Initiative Roll” column. The remainingcolumns are reference information for theGame Master. You might want to collectthis information ahead of time from theplayers. Sometimes it adds a little suspenseto a game if a player doesn’t know what heor she is rolling for. For example, if theplayers are in a seedy bar known for pickpockets and one of the players is“accidentally” bumped into by a patron, andI tell the player to make a Perception Rolland the roll is pathetic, the player knows thecharacter probably had his pocket picked.On the other hand, if we replay that lastscene and I just tell the player to roll me aD20 and the roll is low, then I just tell him"a guy just brushed by you on the way out,"or if the player rolls very high, then I say "aguy brushed by you on the way out and yousee him quickly putting something the sizeof a Universal Credit Card in his pocket andwhen you check, yours is missing!" Anotherexample is the ambush. What surprise is it tothe player if a G.M. tells the players to rolltheir Detect Ambush skill? Gee, could anambush be coming? On the other hand, theGame Master can just tell his players to rollpercentile dice. Those who make the roll seeThe boxes next to each namerepresent attacks per melee. The averagecharacter will have 5 to 7 attacks per melee.Starting at the top of the list and workingyour way down, place a slash in the first boxto indicate that the character has used hisfirst melee attack. In some instances,characters may be put on the defensive andmay have to use several of their attacksdodging. As each melee attack is used, placea slash in the next box. For characters whohave more than 8 melee attacks, just make aslash going in the other direction so youhave an “X” in the box. Finally, I also find ituseful for keeping track of when magicusers cast their spells. If the characterdecides to go for a high level spell and it isgoing to take three attacks to cast, I’ll markthe first two boxes with slashes and the thirdbox with an “S” so I know that thecharacter's spell is going to be cast on thatattack. It is also useful for determine theduration of spells. If a character is caught ina Magic Net spell and is trying to cut hisway out, I can plot it out on the matrix to letme know when he has finally cut his wayfree.Each melee round has its own set ofboxes to represent numerous characters.Permission to photocopy this printed sheet for personal use only.
