+==== Core Stats ====
 Ratings describe how good a Unit is at certain things. Ratings are on a letter scale, with ''%%E%%'' being the worst and ''%%A%%'' being the best. (Some tables with go above or below this scale, but no Class can provide a default higher or lower than these values.) There are 6 Ratings a Unit gets from their Class, detailed in this table:

+==== Combat Stats ====
+These are derived statistics that come from classes, weapons, and sometimes even the Terrain. On Foundry these values can be found on the weapon entry.

+|**Agility**|Agility is used when determining when who gets to follow up and contributes to Evasion. Agility is ''%%Speed + Weight%%'' of the current weapon|
+|**Avoid**  |Avoid is ''%%Agility + Terrain Bonuses%%'' if the unit has any. A unit attacking this unit has it’s Hit reduced by this unit’s Evasion.        |
+|**Hit**    |Hit is calculated as ''%%70 + Dex + Weapon Hit - Target's Evasion%%''. This is the number a unit must roll under to hit with a given weapon.   |
 ===== Items =====
 Units can carry multiple types of item in their Inventory. Weapons allow a Unit to fight enemies or assist allied Units. Accessories are Items that provide a benefit to the Unit as long as the Unit carries them in their Inventory. Consumables are Items that can be used in some way for a limited number of times.
-All Items share a **Weight** property. Weight ranges between ''%%-2%%'' and ''%%2%%'', and decreases or increases the Speed rating of a Unit while using that weapon by that amount.

-====== Setting Up ======
-  * Currently, the game is setup on a Foundry Module.
-  * [[Rulebook#Units|Units]] and [[Rulebook#Items|Items]] are available in the Compendium tab. Drag a Unit from the compendium onto the map to create a Unit of that type. Drag Items from the compendium onto the Unit’s character sheet to give that Unit the item.
-  * A Scene should be created for the map the players will be using for the game. (If using maps from the [[Magvel Atlas]], set the grid size to 70.)
-===== Setting a Map and Scenario =====
-The first thing to set up is the map that will serve as the battlefield. Players can create their own maps, or use their favorite maps from Fire Emblem games they’ve played. This wiki includes the [[Magvel Atlas]], a list of maps from Fire Emblem Sacred Stones. Included in the Atlas are images for maps sized for Tabletop Simulator (and Foundry), as well as links to any scenarios written for that map.
-Next players must agree on the Scenario. A Scenario defines setup, victory, and loss conditions for the players as well as any special rules required for the battle. Many Scenarios will give special “Scenario Tags” to Units that they can use. The [[Writing Scenarios]] page includes basic scenarios to adapt to any map. The Magvel Atlas also includes prewritten Scenarios for some maps.
-^Scenario              ^Defines                                                                                                                  ^
-|**Map Requirements**  |Areas on the battlefield that need to be labeled on the battlefield before play.                                         |
-|**Army Requirements** |Unit requirements that must be met by one or more Armies involved in the battle                                          |
-|**Victory Conditions**|Different for the Attacking and Defending player in most scenarios, the Victory conditions determine how the players win.|
-|**Time Limits**       |Most Scenarios have a Time Limit defined in Rounds after which the Scenario ends if other objectives have not been met.  |
-|**War Chests**        |Both the Attacker and Defender in a scenario will have a War Chest, an amount of Gold they use to build their Army with. |
-|**Deployment Zones**  |The specific areas of the map the Attacker and Defender are allowed to deploy their units to at the start of the battle. |
-===== Buying an Army =====
-After choosing a Scenario each player should have a War Chest amount defined for them. The players each will build their Armies so that the total cost of the Army does not exceed the War Chest. Armies are built in three phases: Hiring, Scouting, and Outfitting.
-  * In the **Hiring** phase, each player builds their Army as they see fit, hiring Units in any Class the scenario allows for, equipping them with any Weapons and Items the scenario allows.
-  * In the **Scouting** phase, the players then share the Classes that they are bringing to battle with each other. Inventory is NOT shared, only the types of Classes.
-  * In the **Outfitting** phase each player may change the Inventory of their Units however they so choose. They may NOT change the Class of those Units, nor add or remove from the Classes they chose in the Hiring phase.
-===== Deployment =====
-The Scenario chosen will determine where each player is allowed to deploy, or place their units at the start of the battle. The Scenario will also determine which player will deploy their units first.
-The first player to deploy will place all of their Units into their Deployment Zone. Once that player had decided the starting locations of their Units, the other player will deploy their units to their Deployment Zone. The first player cannot move their Units after the second player begins deploying theirs.

 == The Weapon Triangle ==
-The Weapon triangle represents how certain weapon types have combat advantages or disadvantages when used against certain other weapon types. There is a triangle for melee weapons as well as types of magic.
+^Weapon^Effective Against   ^
+|Swords|Axes                |
+|Lances|Swords              |
+|Axes  |Lances              |
+|Arts  |Tomes, Daggers, Bows|
-When using an advantageous weapon against a Target, a Unit will deal one extra point of damage and their Dexterity is treated as one point higher. Likewise, when using a disadvantageous Weapon, the Unit deals one less point of damage and their Dexterity is treated as one point lower.
+When a unit attacks with advantage on the Weapon Triangle and deals damage, the [[Rulebook#Status Effects|Break Status Effect]] is applied to the target. They immediately lose their ability to counter attack in the current combat, and cannot counter attack in the next one they’re involved in.
-^Weapon^+1 Damage/Dexterity ^-1 Damage/Dexterity^
+The break status cures itself after a combat where the unit started broken or if the unit is activated to take a turn. A broken unit cannot be further broken, it must cure the status before it can be broken again.

-== Breaking ==
+=== Use a Staff ===
-When a unit attacks with advantage on the Weapon Triangle and deals damage, the [[Rulebook#Status Effects|Break Status Effect]] is applied to the target. They immediately lose their ability to counter attack in the current combat, and cannot counter attack in the next one they’re involved in.
+Staves always have at least two tags. The first is **Consumable(X)** which lists how many times the Staff may be used in a given battle. The second will be a [[Rulebook#Special Action Tags|Special Action Tags]] that covers what happens when you use the Staff.
-The break status cures itself after a combat where the unit started broken or if the unit is activated to take a turn. A broken unit cannot be further broken, it must cure the status before it can be broken again.
+Staff actions that target allies (such as **Heal(X)**) do not require a roll to hit, they automatically succeed. When targeting an enemy unit, roll to as per an attack action. The effect of the Tag takes place if the unit hits. Enemies may never counter attack a staff action, even if it otherwise would be able to. However, Staff Actions never follow up.
 === Use a Special Action ===
-Some tags give a Unit access to Special Actions, they can take on their turn. These actions don’t require an accuracy roll when the Target is an allied Unit. Find out more in [[Original Rulebook#Special Action Tags|Special Action Tags]].
+Some tags give a Unit access to Special Actions, they can take on their turn. These actions don’t require an accuracy roll when the Target is an allied Unit. Find out more in [[Rulebook#Special Action Tags|Special Action Tags]]. Using these actions functions identically to a Staff.
