===Physical Conflict Dice Pools===
The core book presents a number of potential dice pool options for physial combat, due to the malleability of what can be done during a combat turn in this section. This confuses a lot of people, since legacy editions of Vampire the Masquerade generally had very set dice pools for specific actions. For ease of access, some of the most common pools characters will use (including some pools listed in Advanced Combat, reiterated here for ease) arepresented as follows. Note that this is NOT a comprehensive list, and Attribute + Skill combinations should be determined based on the narrative by the Storyteller:
* Brawl-based Physical Combat: Strength + Brawl (punches, kicks, bodyblows, martial arts maneuvers, claws)
* Light weapon-based Physical Combat: Dexterity + Melee (attacks that don't rely solely on your strength, but on the speed and accuracy of a lighter weapon such as knives, short swords, rapiers, whips, light spears)
=====Phase 2: Conflict=====
This phase is the ‘core’ of V5 LARP Vampire the Masquerade 5th Edition combat, but should resolve fairly quickly assuming everyone is organized. All movement positioning is now complete, and most Minor Actions should be completed by this time. A few notes about conflict:
* Rouse Checks: Rouse Checks are performed when they are required by an action that uses Rouse Check. As a reminder, you may perform a Rouse Check once per turn per each thing that requires a Rouse Check. For example:
** A player may use a Rouse Check to Blood Heal at any point in Conflict, in any phase or part of the action order.
