Battle Rating

Battle Rating (BR) is a score representing everything that makes a character uniquely competent in a general combat scenario, not including exceptional cases. The formula for BR is as follows:

(Power × Armor Multiplier × Damage Multiplier × Helpful Features Multiplier) ÷ Harmful Features Multiplier = BR

Always round to the nearest 1 BR increment. The calculation for each variable is as follows:

• Power: Equal to your Level + HD.
  • If you have a mount, add the mount’s Power.
• Armor Multiplier: Since Armor is a multiplier of Power & we assume 1 Power = 4 HP, this is calculable based on the degree of Armor. Your Armor Multiplier is equal to 1 plus your highest Armor score divided by 4. For leather, this is 1.25×; chain, 1.5×; plate, 2×.
  • If mounted, use an averaged Armor score.
• Damage Multiplier: Divide your best possible Damage output per Turn (accounting for all Strikes & other esoteric factors i.e. Reload weapons) by 4.
  • Ask your GM if you have other, weirder modifiers for a given weapon.
  • Mount attacks are only added if the mount is a sapient combatant.
• Helpful Features Multiplier: Sum the number of Features you have that help your combat performance (& that aren’t already implicitly included in other multipliers) & add 1.
  • Add mount Features if applicable.
• Harmful Features Multiplier: Sum the number of Features that harm your combat performance (& that aren’t already implicitly included in other multipliers) & add 1.
  • Add mount Features if applicable.
