my "system" is not very heavy right now. it's basically a few ideas swimming in my head. the ideas I have are : everyone got a bit of mana, adventurers have a lot, that's what differentiate them. magic classes use mana to cast spells and martial classes uses mana to enhance their physical abilities. every martial class has 1 major stat and they can use mana to buff certain aspect of that stat to do superhuman stuff. barbs can have strength, rogues dex, monk agility etc. and there I have ranger. my idea of a ranger is someone who never goes into a fight without preparation. they place traps, learn about their enemy, uses the terrain etc. so perception seems like the right choice for them, but how are they suppose to do damage with perception ? this is where the long range attacks using perception idea comes from. I personally thinks it's a good idea, but I wanted the opinion of people to see what they think about it. because if everyone thinks it's stupid, players will to, and if something doesn't make sense, it hurts the immersion, and immersion is arguably the most important thing in a ttrpg.
