A combat flow chart

[RealMarkP]

With newbies, I'd like a quick and easy way to educate them on how combat works. Something like:

I want to attack:
- Is it a melee attack?
--- Yes, roll this, add that, do this.
- Is it a ranged attac?
--- Yes, roll this, add that, etc.
- Is it a spell?
-- Do this, roll that.

I want to defend:
- Look up this number, add that, roll this... etc


And so on.

has anyone create a flow chart of something like this?? Google images yielded nothing. My googlefu is weak today.

DnD is a little too complicated for that. It would branch too much at the standard action point

Heh.... you think that D&D combat is complicated? That sort of breakdown is the simple part of creating AIs for video games. The issue is has anybody done it where you can find it, not is it so hard that its not doable.

Cannot find a flowchart as of yet but there are "cheat sheets" floating around. Here's two I found quickly:
