Combat (Aetheric Realms)

Sometimes gods fight. When this happens the aggressor uses the 1pp attack god action in order to receive a base combat bonus equal to their PP gained on the last reset. The defender automatically receives a base combat bonus equal to their PP on the last reset. Some circumstances provide additional bonuses to combat. Gods my aid another god in battle, or make an attack of their own, resolved individually. In the event of a stale mate, nothing happens.
=Side Effects =
Each time you are the loser of an attack god conflict your combat bonus receives an accumulative -2 penalty. If you reach an base combat bonus of 0, you are weakened.
=Modifiers =
Another god spends 1pp to aid you: +2 bonus.
Battle takes place within your realm: +2 bonus.
You have a combat artifact at hand: +1 bonus.
You have a combat exarch with you: +1 bonus.
