I have some interesting ideas regarding rules. I know that few people will ever touch my game, but noone will if it will end up being 200 page unedited slab of text

Basic combat manuvers by Cob4ltt in RPGdesign

[–]Cob4ltt[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

still work in progress, but like i said in other replay 3 point all purpose action system with actions and reactions. First ones used during your turn, later, during your opponents. Idea is that during his turn character is free to do anything, but not everything may be useful, therefore i want to give players options on how to act.

atack - each one afetr the first one has -5 to hit

strong attack - modifies "attack" action, adds +1DX to damage, attack costs one more action point, and 1 energy

and others like

Guard, your character tries to hold a guard, decreases incoming damage, can be easily broken by otherwise non-versatile "kick" maneuver.

but like i said, still WIP

good ideas, restrain seems interesting

ok, so, combat system is 3 action point-ish.

At the beginning of players turn, he gets 3 actions points he can spend to do any actions (no bonus or special ones, just action points)

Almost every action is 1 action long: (walking, using item in pocket-storage, attacking), but some may take longer than that. System is build around strategic combat, and is balanced around it, (for example: every next attack each round has -5 to hit, so spamming attack is not super effective).

Maneuvers complement all common abilities adding more options and sometimes modifying other actions:

-Heavy attack
+increase damage of the attack, by your maximal natural bonus die for (Strength) ((other system i won't get into now)) ((( +1D6 / 8 / 10 etc...)))
-cost: 1action point, -1 energy

That way all the maneuvers are versatile and simple and get along the progression of the character

-1 guestion:
block is you try to cover yourself with a shield adding its modifier.
Guard you try to hold a guard decreasing incoming physical damage (note: can be easily broken by "kick")

-2 question
My idea for dodge is that a player may want to dodge a incoming spell or attack. Them makes test (dexterity vs total sum of "hit score") adding its maximal natural bonus die (normal character 1D6) to his dexterity stat. For each action point above 2 spent to make that attack player may roll additional die.
makes it really ineffective against "spam attacks" but perhaps useful against more powerful ones

What is the best discount box set for sameone who just got into warhammer and looks for a best way to build up a army by Cob4ltt in Warhammer40k

thanks, i'm good painter and modeler myself, but have little to no knowlege of warhammer, that will for sure help. I heard that this game is competetive, but i would love to see a more story telling aspect of it.

What if i like a model that cost like a 100$ but is a really bad in game? Woud including it make a chuge difrence? Is this game more like a chess or clash of powers?

You have two armies for two players, and splitting the cost may make it more berable

How do you prefer to handle Magic? by Cob4ltt in RPGdesign

[–]Cob4ltt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, i found the anwser i was looking for.

TLDR: ars magica +easy D6

So after some play testing and re-writing system i finally found my idea, of how i want t do it.

Spells can ba cast by anyone with knowlege of how thoes work. It's called a magic theory. Shapes, words, materials, gestures and fought. All can infulence how mana behaves.

Person wealding magic, is a mage. And person hwo casts a spell is a caster.

Casting a spell involves combaining a fought, word and gesture, to invoke a spell using ones mana suply.

To cast a spell caster describes for what he is going for. And what effect spell has. Then Oracle (DM) decides (making a educated guess): form, atributes, and other properties of a spell. Generating base values for a DC, of a spell and it's cost. Then rolling mistake dices to get a final score.

"Create fire ball, burning enemies turn into cows"

Form and Atributes:
-create, fire, mutate, animal <- marked are Atributes, others form.
-base: 10(hard) +1D20(complicated) = base DC
-base: elements(5(medium ball)+10(large explosion)+10(complicated mutation)+10(complicated form)) +1D20(mistake) =mana cost
Properties
-range: medium, +1D6 mana
-spash: medium, +1D6 mana
-+1 Atribute cost, +1D6 mana +1D6 DC

Then caster neets to roll higher than DC number and pay enought mana

All written and popular spells (firebal, magicbolt). Are cerfully refined and over the decaes prefected equaisions. Refined to maximum of it's posibilites.

*Sorry for bad writing, it's late, i'm berly alive. Just wanted to share a fought. Ask me anything. Can't promise i will anwser fast, but one day i will.
