Character Sheet Example
''Amirith casts Arcane Missile at a Xenotaur Oritu-eki. His Arcane Missile roll is a 34 so he is able to fire two missiles. He rolls a 21 and a 24 on his RMA versus the leaper's Dodge reactive rolls of 18 and 23 and hits both times. Each missile does 27 points of damage for a total of 54 points of damage since the Oritu-eki has no Arcane Defense Skill.''
