It defines Regular, Hard, Extreme, and their corresponding success thresholds using opposed percentage rolls. The rules specify bonus and penalty dice, firearms attack resolution by weapon range, dive-for-cover (dodge) limitations, and targeting constraints within 1/5 DEX. Combat procedures cover attack order, choosing to fight back or dodge, comparing results, outnumbering effects, pushing limitations, and close-quarters fighting.",{"@graph":69,"@context":122},[70,84,105],{"@type":71,"itemListElement":72},"BreadcrumbList",[73,77,79,82],{"item":74,"name":75,"@type":76,"position":8},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":78,"name":9,"@type":76,"position":14},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/",{"item":80,"name":10,"@type":76,"position":81},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/story-novel/",3,{"item":83,"name":65,"@type":76,"position":19},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/horror-on-the-orient-express-firearms-and-combat-rules-difficulty-levels/515408/",{"url":83,"name":65,"@type":85,"image":86,"author":91,"headline":65,"publisher":94,"fileFormat":97,"inLanguage":63,"description":67,"dateModified":98,"datePublished":99,"encodingFormat":97,"isAccessibleForFree":100,"interactionStatistic":101},"DigitalDocument",{"url":87,"@type":88,"width":89,"height":90},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/horror-on-the-orient-express-firearms-and-combat-rules-difficulty-levels/515408.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":92,"@type":93},"Cipher","Person",{"url":74,"name":95,"@type":96},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-10-12","2026-10-06",true,{"@type":102,"interactionType":103,"userInteractionCount":29},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":104},"ViewAction",{"@type":106,"mainEntity":107},"FAQPage",[108,114,118],{"name":109,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":111},"How are difficulty levels determined for tasks or opposition?","Question",{"text":112,"@type":113},"Regular applies when the opposing skill/characteristic is below 50 (or a standard task), with success on rolls equal to or below the full value.
