 ==Melee Combat==
+Melee combat isn't as complex as ranged. There is no requirement to aim or bring to bear, each attack is an individual action. Locations can still be targeted at the normal penalty. A combatant in melee can reduce their opponent's chance to hit in one or both of two ways. Firstly, any gymnastics skill is used as a passive negative modifier to any attack roll made against them, which represents their ability to evade incoming blows. Secondly, a character can use part of their melee skill to parry incoming blows. This is substituted from any attack rolls they make.

 A round follows a sequence of order where certain actions will happen before others. Within the sequence, the order in which characters act is taken from their DEX, with the highest acting first.
-====Ebb Abilities====
+*Ebb Abilities
 Requiring only thought to activate, and often being calculated the phase before, Ebb abilities go before anything else in the phase.
-====Movement====
+*Movement
 Movement happens before any other actions, and can be performed regardless of whether the character can act on that particular phase. The distance moved depends on the movement type of the character (walk, run, sprint), and their move stats.
-====Defensive Actions====
+*Defensive Actions
 Defensive actions are declared, whether active (parrying), or passive (gymnastics). This includes diving for cover, ducking, and other actions which would be classed as changing stance.
-====Ranged Combat====
+*Ranged Combat
 Ranged combat comes next, generally taking the form of shooting. This also includes actions relating to rabged combat, such as bringing to bear and changing fire modes. Ranged combat is covered in more detail below.
-====Melee Combat====
+*Melee Combat
 Melee combat includes unarmed combat. Anything that involves hitting something with something else. Melee is covered in more detail below.
-====Other Actions====
+*Other Actions
 Anything else not covered in the sequence happens now.
-====Book-keeping====
+*Book-keeping
 Finally any bleeding damage or healing takes place.
