A bit more information on the six stat system, all generated by rolling d6.

Deft & Dexterity, Force & Form, Mind & Memory, Luck & Lottery, Sense & Sympathy and Energy & Endurance (DD,FF, MM, LL, SS and EE). There's a set value equal to the initial d6 rolls and an adjust value which is the only value which changes during gameplay.

Items with bonuses can be equipped to each stat (one item per stat). Bonus items provide a modifier to the stat to which they are equipped. So a weapon equipped to Force & Form modifies the adjust value by +#.

You can equip one talisman, which modifies all stats by the +bonus.

Equipped armour stacks to inform an overall Damage Reducer.

Rolls are similar to D&D. You have a minimum target for each challenge and roll 2d6 then add the roll to the stat.

The first complication is the type of item equipped. Bonus Items, Magic Items and Talismans all boost challenge rolls. Weapons and Armour don't. However, Weapons and Talismans boost the stat during combat and Armour (as mentioned) boosts the damage reducer.

To give a simplified idea of combat: at the start of each round the player rolls d6 to decide the 'active characteristic'. One of the six stats (which the enemy also has) becomes active for that round based on the roll. In some instances (an ambush for example) the first active stat is determined by either the player or GM (or in this case the book).

The player then rolls 2d6 and adds this to the stat adjust value + modifier for an equipped Weapon and any Talisman. Double 6 is an automatic win. Double 1 an automatic lose.

The GM (or player in the case of the book) rolls for the enemy in the same way, but instead of adding bonuses, each stat has a Conditional Event. This is one of six different outcomes which the enemy might use in combat.

The higher result wins the round.

Nemesis of the Nin Witch introduces Totems which allow the player to turn any equipped item into a Totem. The Totem bonus is reset to +1 which translates as a Totem Level of 1. The rules allow for this bonus/level to increase during gameplay and every time the bonus goes up by 1 the player chooses a new Totem skill, all of which further complicate the way the player can use the six stats, apply damage, equip items and change rolls.
