combat system

A combat system is the structured set of rules and mechanisms used to simulate fighting interactions in a game or simulation. It defines how characters or entities attack, defend, and respond to damage, often including factors like timing, accuracy, and power. The system ensures fights are fair, engaging, and strategically interesting by balancing offense and defense, managing health or stamina, and incorporating random elements like dice rolls or probabilities. Overall, it creates a dynamic framework that determines how encounters unfold between opponents, contributing to gameplay excitement and challenge.
