This is a small roleplaying game system created by Phergus for use in examples and samples for RPTools applications. As noted on the original thread, this is not meant to be a mature and balanced system, but rather a system that contains enough aspects to highlight a good selection of application features. See the original thread for more details.
Characters
Primary Attributes
Primary attributes are determined using a point system. Starting characters are given 14
points to distribute among their four primary attributes. Each primary attribute must at least have a value of 1
, but can be no higher than 6
.
- Strength (Str)
- Dexterity (Dex)
- Intelligence (Int)
- Endurance (End)
Summary: Total of 14
points. Minimum of 1
. Maximum of 6
.
Derived Attributes
Character possess three derived attributes. Hit Points are determined multiplying Endurance by 6
. Each character class has a different Armor score; Armor can also be increased by powers. Base Movement is equal to a character's Dexterity.
- Hit Points (HP)
- Armor (AR)
- Movement (MV)
Summary: (Endurance)x6
Hit Points. Armor determined by class. Movement equals Dexterity.
Classes
At character creation, players get to choose a class for their character. The chosen class determines beginning powers and Armor.
Class | Beginning Powers | Armor |
---|---|---|
Warrior | Sword, Shield Bash, Bow, Shield, Torch | 6 |
Rogue | Dagger, Hide, Backstab, Pick Lock, Torch | 2 |
Wizard | Dagger, Staff, Light, Lightning Bolt, Fire Ball | 1 |
Priest | Mace, Heal, Protect, Banish Undead, Torch | 4 |
Combat
Initiative
Each combatant rolls for initiative at the beginning of each round. Initiative roll is 1d6
+ Dexterity. Each combatant acts in order of initiative, highest to lowest, each round.
Movement
Combatants can use a power or move each round. When moving, a combatant can move a number of squares/hexes equal to their Movement.
Attack Roll
An attack power requires a roll to determine if it succeeds. If the roll is 15
or higher after applying any bonuses, the attack power succeeds.
- Melee Attacks - Roll
1d20
+ Strength + Power Attack Bonus - Ranged Attack - Roll
1d20
+ Dexterity + Power Attack Bonus - Spell Attack - Roll
1d10
+ Intelligence + Power Attack Bonus
Summary: A 15+
on the attack roll succeeds.
Damage Roll
If an attack power succeeds in hitting the target, determined damage by rolling 1d6
, apply the power damage bonus, add the relevant attack attribute, and finally subtract the target's Armor. Subtract the result from the target's Hit Points.
Summary: 1d6
+ (Power Damage Bonus) + (Attack Attribute Bonus) - Armor
Powers
PCs/NPCs have Powers that represent their attacks and abilities. Beginnning PCs have 5 powers. NPCs will have a variable number but at least 1. Two types of powers: Attack & Other. During any combat round a PC/NPC may have 1 non-attack Power active and may use 1 Power to attack.
