|Agility|Grace| |
|Intellect|Reason| |
|Cunning|Focus| |
|Willpower|Will| |

===== Stats =====
^Genesys^Clockwork^Comparison^
|Soak|Armor|In Genesys, Soak reduces incoming wounds. In Clockwork, a weapon's Potency value must exceed your Armor in order to be wounded (physical/social).|
|Wounds| | |
|Strain|Guard/Disposition|In Genesys, strain is kind of like mental Wounds. In Clockwork, Guard (physical) and Disposition (social) can protect you from combat outcomes. Disposition is determined per Encounter.|
|Encumbrance| | |
|Defense|n/a|In Genesys, Defense applies setback to the attackers pool. In Clockwork, combat is opposed.|

===== Skills =====
There are a new list of skills just like how Genesys has different skills than Edge of the Empire.
The core differences for Clockwork skills:
  * No career skills
  * No base characteristic. In Genesys skills are paired with a base characteristic with the rare allowance that you use a different base in different circumstances. In Clockwork, there is no pairing, per se, and instead it's encouraged to use different base characteristics in different situations.

===== Encounters =====
Genesys encounters can be simplified into:
  - **Initiative**: Roll to determine round slots, allies vs enemies.
  - **Turns**: Players take turns in slot orders.
    - Incidental actions
    - 1 maneuver. Suffer 2 strain for a second maneuver.
    - 1 action or exchange action for a maneuver (max 2 maneuvers).
  - **End of Round**
  - **End of Encounter**

Clockwork encounters can be simplified into:
  - **Conflict Traits**
    - Guard (physical): each character has their own guard stat.
    - Disposition (social): each character would determine this stat for the current encounter.
    - Esteem (social): each character's Esteem is calculated by Tenor (usually Class or Means), subtract the characters matching stat, add/remove half-values depending on Reputation
    - Morale (physical): Starts at 1 and moves up based on Threat level.
  - **Initiative**
  - **Turns**
    - 1 Move
    - 1 Maneuver
    - 1 Action
  - **End of Round**
  - **End of Encounter**

===== Combat (Physical/Social) =====
Genesys:
  - Declare attack and targets.
  - Determine pool:
    - Skill & Base characteristic.
    - Difficulty based on Range.
  - Damage is successes plus weapon damage.
  - Wounds applied is Damage less Soak.

Clockwork:
  - Declare attack and targets.
  - Determine pool:
    - Opposed: Attacker skill/characteristic and defender skill/characteristic.
    - Reach may add modifier if not aiming.
  - Successes reduce Guard (physical) or Disposition (social). Die symbol effects can be seen [[https://rpg.bgsemc.com/clockworkrules/conflicts#actions|here]].
  - Once Guard/Disposition is reduced passed zero (or bypassed) the target will receive one of:
    - A Standard [[https://rpg.bgsemc.com/clockworkrules/conditions#condition_descriptions|Condition]] (physical/social)
    - A Wound (physical), only if weapon Potency exceeds Armor.
    - Subdue (physical)
    - Convince (social), only if Weapon Potency exceeds Armor.
    - Persuade (social),only if Weapon Potency exceeds Armor. 
    - Logical narrative freedom

Clockwork has additional values to track in combat:
  * When Morale reaches 0, the character may surrender or flee.

===== Range vs Reach =====
^Genesys^Clockwork^Comparison^
|Engaged|Touch|A Touch weapon doesn't increase unarmed reach.|
|:::|Close|A Close weapon increases unarmed reach.|
|Short|Extended|In Genesys, several meters. In Clockwork, fifteen feet.|
|Medium|Short|In Genesys, several dozen meters. In Clockwork, twenty-five feet.|
|Long|Long|In Genesys, greater than a few dozen meters. In Clockwork, 250 to 3000 feet.|

===== Weapons =====
^Genesys^Clockwork^Comparison^
|Skill|n/a|Clockwork uses common sense combinations of base characteristic and skill to use the weapon. The Genesys skill could be used to help inform which skill in Clockwork to use.|
|Damage|Potency|In Genesys, weapon damage is added to successes and then soak is subtracted. In Clockwork, damage (physical/social) can only be applied if weapon Potency exceeds the targets Armor value.|
|Qualities|Condition|Weapons can cause effects on the  target.|
|Range|Reach|See Range vs Reach. In Genesys this dictates whether you /can/ hit, in Clockwork is the same but aiming might be required to reduce a penalty.|
|Crit|Condition|Clockwork weapons may cause crit-like effects.|
