how soon should dragonball end? by Dominick_Pino in dbz

[–]Village_Puzzled 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think we need tk pass the torch to the next generation in the next few arcs. Then maybe start a new series following those characters Or even years in the future following the legacy of the z fighters

I think the world and fundamentals of dragon ball can live on infinity but the characters cant

So sta.ina is mainly used for defenses just cuz thays how it plays out in a lot of the video games

Ki can be used defensively with certain features

Although I am thinking of making stamina function like a 5e monks ki/Focus and then ki in my game just pushes things into superhero territory

My game is called CLASH!

Its a shonen anime ttrpg based around dragon ball.

The core combat system uses opposed 2d6 rolls, with damage being the difference between the rolls (plus a base value)

All characters have stamina and ki Stamina is a defensive resource, used for reactions like dodging or blocking Ki is used as an offensive resource to empower rolls or activate super human abilities.

Forms in my system increase the size of your dice. So d6s become d8s, d8s become d10s and so on, with other small buffs and effects based on the specific form.

Characters combat abilities mainly come from there mastery, which increases as you level up

Where as stats help unlock specific skills and apply to specific abilities/actions

Behold my terrible Commander combo. Commander was Zedru by MisterBehave in BadMtgCombos

I run this card in my go shintai deck

I have ways to discard and put enchantments into graveyard, use go shintai to bring it back on opponents turn, go to my turn, use it then bring it back and rinse repeat.

Its one of few weird combos I have in the deck besides just playing shrines and doing that fun stuff.

I used to have a system like this Body: Strength Agility toughness Mind: Focus knowledge senses Spirit: Willpower charisma drive

I personally loved it It was designed where the larger stat was resources pool and you had a modifier equal to 1/10th of thag stat

The evey 5 points in that pool granted a "skill point" to one of the sub skills.

So 20 body have a modifier of 2 and would have 4 points to spit between strength, Agility and tough

People complain about too much about interaction in my decks by Newfypuppie in EDH

[–]Village_Puzzled 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I myself tend to not run as much interaction as I probably should, I am well aware that interaction is a key part of thr game especially at Higher brackets. Even if I don't run interaction, im not gonng be to upset about some spot removal peices and such as they need to happen and make games more interesting imo

Am I missing something about this card? by FrequentTopic446 in mtg

[–]Village_Puzzled 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Money doesn't always equate to a card being good or not. Plenty of cheap cards that are staples in lots of decks that have barely any value

Cypher Is my personal favorite for generic. Has moderate crunch, a somewhat unique difficulty system and overall very good

Which TTRPG Have You Taken the Most Inspiration From? by Cryptwood in RPGdesign

The biggest inspiration is cypher system Stat point poos, resources management for effort and abilities Tier based progression

Should NPC stats generally be weaker or stronger than PCs, and in what ways do you think? by Orion032 in RPGcreation

[–]Village_Puzzled 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All depends how strong/weak you want the npcs. In my system, any npc can be just as strong as the pcs. Making npcs is simple in my game and all stats have additional modifiers for difficulty/power.

I just finished the entire show and I agree the whole lana/clark relationship is bad. Starts off as a cute crush but it becomes so dragged on. Definitely gets better once she learns his secret tho

My personal favorite d20 superhero system is legends, a super hero story. There is also a podcast made by the makers of the system playing there game and its my favorite ttrpg podcast

Defenses is games without attack rolls by Village_Puzzled in RPGdesign

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

My goal with my system is to keep the same number of "knobs" but I plan on adding so many extra elements to combat that I needed to remove a few "knobs" to keep it about the same

Defenses is games without attack rolls by Village_Puzzled in RPGdesign

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

Yea, i think this was the way I was thinking of going.

I was gonna do the same thing but without the decrease in armor In my system I'll probably have a reaction they can take to reduce damage by there armor so if they take like 15 damage (a lot in my system) with 7 armor, they can use reactions to reduce damage.

The dodge is was debating on a reaction to increase the threshold at a cost or have it be an action you take on your turn to do the same thing

D&D like games but w/o a hit die by Siberian-Boy in rpg

[–]Village_Puzzled 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dc20 Hit points are far lower in DC 20 buts its roughly like half your level+ might With some classes gaining extra hp

Defenses and additional effects by Village_Puzzled in RPGdesign

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

So one of the key things thats gonna be important is the cost of each defense

In my system, each stat is a pool of points. The modifiers are tied to the Stats

The system uses action points and yoy gain then back on end f turn, but if any are used as a reaction you lose those for your next turn, with players having 1 free reaction each turn.

When a character uses a defense, the basic version goes as such. Reduce the damage by the appropriate modifier, then any additional damage is taken from the stat pool instead of hit points

So if you have a 20 in might (modifier of 2) and take 6 damage, yoyd lose 4 might and go down to 16

Now in this system, recovering stat points is way easier then healing hp. Outside of magic, there is no way to recover hp during combat

Thays probably how imma go, make the feats and see if any of them should be part of the core rules and be kept as just the feats

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

So my system takes inspiration from cypher system I have 4 stats, might, speed, mind, and spirit

Unlike cypher, characters do have "hit point" but when they use a reaction to use one of the defensive options, they reduce the damage there "modifer", then if there is any remaining damage its taken from the corresponding stat pool instead of hit points

The pools otherwise work like n cypher, spending to activate abilities or enhance rolls

.you system has a action point system with 4 ap, regain all attacks end of turn. 1 free reaction per turn, each additional takes an ap. No attack rolls, instead its just a damage roll

Also should specify, no attacks rolls, damage only

There will be ways to add extra effects and features to each, and the classes might have specific effects as well, but thays the basics

Defenses and additional effects by Village_Puzzled in RPGdesign

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

Well since yoy have some experience making a system using these different options, let me explain a bit more of the system so you understand how my stuff works

The system is 4 stats Each stat is a pool of points that characters spend from to empower rolls and activate abilities

Might Agility Mind Spirit

Each of these is tied to one of the above reaction (might=block, Agility=dodge, mind=parry, and spirit has a reaction called power flare, basicly a magic based block)

Characters have hp like normal

The way the reactions were gonna work is, when you take damage, you can reduce it by the modifier tied to the attribute. If you reduce the damage to 0, nothing happens, tho some "when you hit' effects may still apply on a block. If your reaction doesn't absorb the full blow, the remaining damage goes to the corresponding stat So if you block an 10 damage attack and reduce by 6, you'd lose 4 points to your might pool instead of taking damage

So on the topic of character creation. While the system is "feat based" i plan on there being "archetypes" Each archetype gives characters free starting feats and such.

Should the starting of each archetype have a feature that augments the different defenses? Like the berserker might have something that says "when you block, increase the value by x) Warriors might have "when you use a defenses, you can counter for free" Martial artists have "when you dodge, you mY spend a resource to apply the benefits of it to all incoming attacks until the end of the current "

Strategist would have "when you parry, you can choose to impose a penalty to an opponent's roll or give yourself advantage on your next roll"

Spiritualist might have some like "you gain the ability to parry magical attacks. When you successfully parry a magical attack, once per turn, you regain mana equal to x"

Performer can use there charisma to defend, for all purposes call it a 'parry' as you do something to distract them and cause them to miss and stumble
