== Combat Modifiers ==

Because the GnG combat system uses a Defense mechanic, rather than AC, there are some slight changes to the 
combat modifier rules. Because combat relies on Relative Degree of attack rolls, the coup de grace rules are 
different.

=== Favorable and Unfavorable Conditions ===

For the most part, use the default [[SRD:Favorable_and_Unfavorable_Conditions|favorable and unfavorable conditions]] table, though the bonus/penalty goes to Defense rather than Protection.

=== Helpless Defenders ===

In the GnG combat system, helpless defenders 
automatically roll a “1” on the d20 for their Defense 
roll, and they lose all Dexterity, dodge, class, and 
similar bonuses to Defense.  
 
;Coup de Grace
As a full-round action, you can use a melee weapon to 
deliver a coup de grace to a helpless foe. You can also 
use a ranged weapon, provided you are adjacent to the 
target. Your attack automatically hits with a Relative 
Degree of 20.  

Delivering a coup de grace provokes attacks of 
opportunity from threatening foes because it involves 
focused concentration and methodical action.
