Helot Hit Points and Locations

Before talking more about combat we really need to address your helot’s health.
Helot-Condition-Tracking

Overall Condition (HP Value: 50)

This is a helot’s Overall Condition. Think of it like endurance. If this number drops to (0), the helot collapses and is Incapacitated but is not dead. A helot who is Incapacitated is prone and can no longer defend or strike. They are at the mercy of their opponent. Attacks and any other attacking action against an incapacitated helot result in an automatic success with the only roll needed being for damage against a defensive roll of (0).

IMPORTANT NOTE:

Any damage done to any Body Location is ALSO done to the combatant’s Overall Condition.

Body Locations

There are (7) Body Locations. Each with their own condition values.

HEAD (HP Value: 10)

This is the condition of a helot’s skull and brain. If this number falls below (0), the helot is Killed.

CHEST (HP Value: 15)

This is the condition of a helot’s Ribs, Back, and Lungs. If this number falls below (0), the helot is Killed.

MIDSECTION (HP Value: 15)

This is the condition of a helot’s Liver and Stomach. If this number falls below (0), the helot is now -SDS to Attack and Defend for the remainder of the bout.

RIGHT AND LEFT UPPER APPENDAGES (HP Value: 12)

This is the condition of all the helot’s upper appendages on their right or left side. If this number falls below (0), the helot is now -SDS to Attack for the remainder of the bout.

RIGHT AND LEFT LOWER APPENDAGES (HP Value: 12)

This is the condition of all the helot’s lower appendages on their right or left side. If this number falls below (0), the helot is now -SDS to Defend for the remainder of the bout.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

Once a Body Location has been depleted, damage to that Body Location is no longer done to the helot’s Overall Condition. Tell your helot to use its dead arm as a shield!

IMPORTANT NOTE:

A helot may still Attack and Defend even if it is missing both Upper or Lower Limbs. They are just -2SDS to do so.
