d10 CHECKS

d10 Checks are the heart of the game, they are used to determine if things succeed or fail.

You throw a d10, add the Modifier, and add any Bonuses.
For the Finalized Value, the d10 Check's Natural Value is Multiplied, so it remains relevant at higher levels.
d10 Multiplier: Modifier / 5 (Rounded down, and at least 1!)

Example: Throwing a Natural 4, with a Modifier of +12, will result in a Finalized Value of 20 (4 × 2 + 12)

((d10 Base Value × Max(1, Modifier / 5)) + Modifier + Bonus) × (Advantage|Disadvantage)

Criticals

There is a Stat called CRIT Range, by default this is equal to 1.
When Rolling a d10 Check, if the Natural Value is atleast 11 - CRIT Range then the Check is a CRIT.
A CRIT Results in: 2× Damage, 2× Healing, 2× Shielding, 2× BUFFER

You may roll a d10 to determine CRIT for things which by default don't require a d10 Check, like Healing Spells.
Some features might add or subtract from the CRIT Range, potentionally making it impossible to CRIT.

Example: Throwing a Natural 10 with the base CRIT Range of 1 will result in a CRIT.
Example: Throwing a Natural 7 with 4 CRIT Range is a CRIT.
Example: With 0 or less CRIT Range, even a Natural 10 won't be a CRIT.

Advantage and Disadvantage

Advantage: Double the Value of the d10 Check, including Bonuses.
Disadvantage: Half the Value of the d10 Check, including Bonuses.

Advantage and Disadvantage do not stack, and cancel each other out.
This means even 1 Advantage cancels out 3 Disadvantages, to where there is no Multiplier.

Stable Checks

For Stable Checks, the d10 Natural Value Multiplication is Overridden to Total XP / 100 (Minimum of 1)
Advantage and Disadvantage Double and Half only the Dice's Value, leaving Modifier and Bonuses unchanged.
Saves and Initiatives are Stable Checks.

Multi-Checks

Multi-Checks are Single Checks with multiple different Modifiers.
You Roll only one d10, and seperately calculate the values with the different Modifiers.
Note that Success with one of the Modifiers usually has the same effect as with the other.

Example: You make a Check which uses both Perception and Intuition, with Modifiers of +5 and +10.
You Rolled a 6 on the d10, this means the Perception part of the Multi-Check is 11, and the Intuition part is 22.

Passive Checks

Passive Checks are a Type of Check where the d10 is not thrown, and only the Modifier and Bonuses are counted.
These Checks are always a Free-Action, and are assumed to be automatically made, unless someone specifies they don't make said Passive Check.

PLAYER CHARACTERS

Character Creation

When creating a character, you have 100 XP Points.
No Base Stat can go over 10, or below 2 on character creation.
Characters will also have 100C worth of items to their name.

Note that this is just a "Level 1" template.
The GM can choose to start the players off with more or less XP and Currency.

Resources:

Experience

Each Player Character has a Total XP, and Unspent XP.
To gain XP, Players must perform actions, like encounters, quests, roleplay, ect...
XP is usually given in a batch at the end of a game session, split amongst the players.

To increase a Base Stat by 1 you must spend 2 XP
To increase a Mastery by 1 you must spend 0.5 XP
Your Base Stats are Capped at; Total XP / 10, so you can't go super into 1 Stat.
Note that Masteries are also Capped by Base Stats.

Fate

Player Characters are guided by A, Fated for greatness.
When a Player does something cool, smart, completes an objective, or plays their character well, the GM may reward them a Fate Point.
All Fate Effects are Non-Actions, and can be applied after Rolls!
After Character Creation a Player starts with 1 Fate, and the most they can have is 3 at a time.

Spending Fate:

Lucky: 1 Fate to Reroll any 1 of your Dice, or Remove Disadvantage from a d10 Check.
Resolve: 1 Fate to Double your Save's Finalized Value.
Miracle: 2 Fate to Minimize Damage and/or To-Hit of an Attack.
Unyielding: 2 Fate to bring back your HP or SP to 1, and instantly End the Prone Condition.
Determination: 3 Fate to make your d10 Check a 10 and a CRIT.

The GM might allow other custom effects for some Fate, haggle with them.
Example: 1 Fate -> By guessing, the blind Player Character perfectly describes a nearby painting.

Note for the GM; be generous, grant 1-2 Fate per Player per session. It's the lifeline of your Players.

COMBAT BASICS

Action Economy

Combat is split into Rounds, each Round is 3 seconds in real time.
Entities participating in Combat will have a Turn each Round.

Each Entity has the following actions, restoring at the Start of their Turns:

1 Main-Action
1 Bonus-Action
Unlimited Free-Actions

You can use a Main-Action in place of a Bonus-Action!
By default, interacting with an object is a Bonus-Action.
Some Actions can be made as Reactions, Reactions are NOT a seperate Resource!

Free-Actions are Actions that have no Action Cost, but are still Actions; only limited by their description.
There are Non-Actions, these can always be Reactions, and you can do them even if you cannot take any Actions.
Non-Action Examples: Spending Resources, Making Saves (Not always!), Using Fate.

Note: At the Start of an Encounter, Entites will have their Actions from the previous Turn from before the Encounter!
This means Reactions are possible before the first Turn in Combat.

Initiative

At the Start of an Encounter each Entity Rolls a Stable d10 Check to determine Turn Orders.
At the Start of a Round, each Entity's Turn comes in Descending Order.
Each Round, Entities can delay their Turn to be after any Entity which Rolled less on Initiative.

Health

HP is a Resource. It has a Max Value, and a Current Value.
When taking Damage you subtract from your HP.
Resistances, Weaknesses, and Absorptions change how your HP interacts with Damage.

When HP reaches 0 you gain the Dying Condition.
When HP goes below - Max HP, your Soul leaves your Body.

Hit-Difficulty

HD is a Resource, like Health.
When an Attack is thrown, the Target can Spend HD to not get Hit by the Attack.
The Target needs to Spend HD equal to the Attack's To-Hit, only if they have enough HD.
After a Minute (20 Rounds) of not Spending HD, it's gained back.

An increase in Maximum HD does NOT affect Current HD!

Soul-Points

SP is the Resource of the mind and Soul, like the mental version of HP.
Psychic Damage goes into SP.
Radiant, and Necrotic Damage go both into HP and SP.

When SP reaches 0, all of your Soul Saves are Halved, this is NOT Disadvantage!
When SP goes below - Max SP, the Soul is destroyed. (You are very dead...)

Attacks

Attacks are d10 Checks, the Result of the Check is called the To-Hit.
Target(s) must Spend HD equal to To-Hit to make the Attack Miss, or they get Hit.
Attack-Actions are the basic Attacks of the game, but not all Attacks are Attack-Actions!

Attacks can be Ranged or Melee, and on top of that some Attacks can be AOE.

When a Ranged Attack is used, it can have 2 different ranges, Normal Range, and Long Range.
When using the Long Range, gain Disadvantage on the Attack Roll.
Ranged Attacks against Targets who have you in their Melee Reach gain Disadvantage.

Saves

Saves are a different type of Attack, where the Target must Succeed the Save, or be Hit by the Attack.
When a Save is presented, the Target must make a Stable d10 Check.
Saves have a Difficulty. (Example: STR Save 10)
To Succeed a Save the Finalized Value of the Save must be at least the Save's Difficulty.
Some Saves can have multiple types, in such case the Target decides what Save they use.

Save Types:

STR Save Modifier: STR Modifier

When more Entities want to use Reactions at the same time, they do in Descending INIT Order.
Reacting before an Attack, with a Reaction without a specific Trigger can only be if your 4 × INIT is higher than Attack's To-Hit.
Unaware Targets cannot make Reactions, unless their 2 × INIT is at least Attack's To-Hit or 2 × Save's Difficulty

Wielding

Each Entity has 2 Wielding Slots, even if they have more limbs.
One-Handed Weapons and Shields take 1 Wielding Slot.
Two-Handed and Solo-Wielded Weapons take 2 Wielding Slots.
To use a Natural Weapon (like your fists), it must be Wielded first, like any other Weapon.
Free limbs can still Hold things which can be used without Active Wielding, like Potions and Scrolls.
When taking the Switch-Action you can change what you are Wielding and Holding.

Dual Wielding is when you're Wielding 2 Weapons.
The Attack-Action becomes a Bonus-Action when Dual Wielding.
When Dual Wielding you can choose to Attack with the same Weapon multiple times, rather than alternating.
For Dual Wielding your Natural Weapons can be considered as Weapons!

Effects

Effects are a things which can afflict Entites and Objects.
Effects might be the same Type, but still do different things.
Example: The Soaked Effect might just be from water, but could also be a Damaging Effect from Acid.

Effects can interact with eachother and even other features.
When Opposing Effects interact, they either Cancel eachother, or the stroger Effect wins.
When the weak Effect's ESS is at least Half of the stronger's, then they both Cancel.
Otherwise the stronger Effect overrides the weaker.

Opposing Effects:

Heat <-> Cold, Soaked
Light <-> Darkness

Lighting

There are 3 leves of lighting, Bright-Light, Low-Light, Darkness.
When something emits Bright-Light, it also emits Low-Light to Double the Distance.

Bright-Light:

Sight based Perception Checks work normally.

Low-Light:

Sight based Perception Checks are with Disadvantage.
Attacks are made with Disadvantage against Targets in Low-Light.

Darkness:

Sight based Perception Checks have a Finalized Value of 0.
You cannot Pinpoint Targets in Darkness using Sight.

Light and Darkness ESS:

Light and Darkness has an ESS value, this is its power.
Light wins over Darkness of equal or lower ESS.
Natural light and darkness counts as being 0 ESS.

Cover

Cover is something you get from using the Take Cover Action.
An Entity in Cover from an Attack, applies Disadvantage to the Attack.
Entities in Cover from Flow AOE Saves, Roll Save with Advantage.

Cover only applies to Attacks coming in from appropriate angles.
Entities behind Cover can still be regularly attacked from other vantage points.

Note: At high levels so called "solids" aren't really that solid, and may not be able to give you Cover.

Falling

If you are not touching the ground at the End of Your Turn, you fall (10 × Rounds spent midair) meters.
Fall Damage: (2 × Fall Distance) - (VIT | Acrobatics)
Fall Damage has Armor-Pen equal to the Damage of the Fall.
Taking Fall Damage gives the Prone Condition.

Underwater Rules

While you are submerged in water (or another liquid):

Melee Attacks are made with Disadvantage, this can be negated with Olympic Athlete or Aquatic.
Physical, Heat, Cold, and Demat based Attacks are made with Disadvantage.
Physical, Heat, Cold, and Demat based Ranges are Havled.
For Heat, Cold, and Demat based Flow and Crawl AOEs, every meter counts as double for their flow. (Will be Half as big)

Entites which need to breath but cannot will begin to deplete their air.
An Entity has 5 × VIT Rounds of Air (15 × VIT Seconds of Air), at 0 they begin to Suffocate.
When an Entity gets Damaged it loses 5 Rounds (15 Seconds) of Air.
While Suffocating, at the End of Each of Your Turns you take 5 × (Rounds Spent Suffocating) Bio Damage
Suffocation Damage has 1000 Bio-Pen.

Senses

Sensing is when you know something is there, but not necessarily Pinpointing it.

Pinpointing is when a Sense can accurately define the position of a Target.
By default, a regular human (or alike) can only Pinpoint with Sight.
If another Sense can Pinpoint, then it is usually written out, and made obvious.
An Entity which cannot Pinpoint another has Disadvantage againts them, and the hidden one has Advantage against said Entity.

Example: You hear a person speak, but not see them. You Sense them, but not Pinpoint them.
Example: A Blinded Bandit has Disadvantage toward all other Entities, and all others (who can Pinpoint said Bandit) have Advantage againts the Bandit.

Surprise

An Entity is Unaware towards a Target it doesn't expect is there.
An Entity is Surprised towards a Target which suddenly reveals itself, until the Start of their Next Turn.
Note: An Entity can be Unaware/Surprised towards some Targets, while not to others.

Against Unaware Targets:

Attacks are made with Advantage.
Cannot Spend HD, unless their 2 × INIT is at least the Attack's To-Hit.
Fail AGI Saves and have Disadvantage on STR Saves, unless their 2 × INIT is at least than Save's Difficulty
Cannot take Reactions, unless their 2 × INIT is at least Attack's To-Hit or Save's Difficulty

Against Surprised Targets:

Attacks are made with Advantage.
Cannot take Reactions, unless their 2 × INIT is at least Attack's To-Hit or Save's Difficulty

Economy (WIP)

Economy is based around Currency, often denoted as C, COCKONOMY !!!!

???

Devices (WIP)

Devices are things which are capable of some special Actions, and may have Data on them.
Many things are considered Devices, from Electronics to Magical Items, Computers to Curios.
There are 3 Modes of interaction with a Device;

Spy Mode:

Spy Mode cannot be used to interact with any of the Device's own Actions.
In Spy Mode you can only aquire information, and communicate with others in the Device.
Example: You connect to a computer, but cannot write or execute any files, only read and somehow communicate through the Device.

User Mode:

The default Mode of interaction with a Device.
There can be many kinds of User Modes, specified by the Device's Protocols.
Example: You log into a computer, but there are password protected files and actions.

Admin Mode:

This Mode can do anything the Device is capable of.
Security measures like an Anit-Virus are always in Admin Mode.
WIP

Usually a Device has some kind of basic User Mode, like the Ability Type Curio; While Attuned you can use the Ability.
But this doesn't allow access to inner workings, and information about the Device, for this the User must somehow get into Spy or Admin Mode.
use Hack Device, idk (WIP)

Souls (WIP)

A Soul doesn't have HP, and thus cannot be harmed by HP damage.
A Soul without a Body takes 2× SP Damage.
A Soul without a Body has 1/10 Effective ESS on all Abilities.
A Soul without a Body can only use Spell Type Abilities.
Soul Max HD: Max SP
Soul MS: 2 × CS^(1/3)

Death

When an Entity's HP gets to 0, they gain the Dying Condition.
An Entity with the Dying Condition falls Unconscious after VIT / 5 Rounds.
If the Entity remains peacefully in Dying Condition for an hour (1200 Rounds), and has enough REST-HP to spend, it recovers to 1 HP.
Otherwise it dies fr fr.

When an Entity's HP gets below -Max HP, their body can no longer support their Soul.
This means the Soul is ejected from the Body, and the Body gains the Prone Condition.
By default, a Soul without a Body in Unconscious.
The Soul stays close for 1 Minute (20 Rounds), after which it floats away.

Even if the Body is repaired, the Soul won't come back, and it will remain dead.
Some Abilities can Revive the Entity by putting the Soul back in, but only if the Soul is still close.

ARMAMENTS

Armaments are your Weapons, Shields, and Armors.
Every Armament has an amount of Property Points, these are allocated for its Stats and Properties.

Items have a Tier Level, Tier Levels effects a lot of Stats of the Item.
Tier Level 1 being Normal, and Tier Level 2 being better (By magic or other means).

Tier Levels increase the Stats of Armaments:

Base Damage, Armor, Armor-Pen, and HD are Multiplied by: Tier Level
Range of Ranged Weapons are Multiplied by: (Tier Level)^(1/3)

Item Pricing:

Melee Weapons: 5C × Property Points
Ranged Weapons: 5C × Property Points

DAMAGE TYPES

Physical

A Physical Attack inflicts either Bludgeoning, Slashing, Piercing Damage.
If a Damage says Physical, freely chooses specific type.
Things with loose physical presence (air, shadow and light Entities, ect...) have 100 Armor.
Incorporeal things have 1000 Armor.

Heat

Heat based Attacks use energy in the form of Heat to deal Damage.
An Attack made with Heat will remove Soaked from the Target.

Cold

Cold based Attacks sap away energy (usually in the form of heat) to deal Damage.
Attacks made with Cold often have special interaction to Soaked Targets.

Bio

Bio Damage manifests itself as disturbance of inner workings, at higher levels this disturbance can be more than just biological.
Things which are connected to living but aren't (wood, paper, nails, Undead Creatures, ect...) have 100 Bio-RES.
Non-Biological things (Plastic, Rock, Steel, ect...) have 1000 Bio-RES.

Demat

Demat Damage is Dematerialization and breaking of connections, by Acid, Exotic Matter, or other means.

Thunder

Thunder based Attacks will invoke sounds, vibrations, pressure waves to deal its Damage.
Brittle things will usually have some kind of weakness to Thunder, like taking Max-Damage, or Double Damage.

Electric

Electric Damage is induced by Electric currents, duh!?
Attacks made with Electricity deal Max-Damage to Soaked, and Airborne Targets.

Psychic

Psychic Damage is about disrupting the Soul.
This type of Damage is SP, meaning HP in unaffected, as it goes into SP.

Radiant

Radiant Damage is about overwhelming Body and Soul.
This type of Damage is Hybrid, meaning it's both HP and SP Damage.

Necrotic

Necrotic Damage is about rotting Body and Soul.
This type of Damage is Hybrid, meaning it's both HP and SP Damage.

True

True Damage just is.
With 3 Types; regular (HP), SP, and Hybrid (both HP and SP).
This type of Damage cannot be reduced by any means less than HyperEntity Powers, or Reset Essence Artifacts.

RESISTANCES

Resistance means taking less Damage equal to the Resistance Value, each Damage instance, written as [Type]-RES.
Resistance can reduce the Damage Taken to 0, but not below 0.
Example: Heat-RES, Bio-RES, ect...

Armor is Resistance against Physical. (Bludgeoning, Slashing, and Piercing)
Armor VS All is Resistance against all Damage Types, but True Damage.
Armor VS HP is Resistance against all Damage which goes into HP, but True Damage.
Armor VS SP is Resistance against all Damage which goes into SP, but True SP Damage.
Armor VS HP and Armor VS SP reduce their respective parts from Radiant and Necrotic.

Weaknesses are treated as Negative Resistance, shortened as [Type]-WEAK.
When taking Damage, for each point of Damage add +1 Extra Damage, capped by the Weakness's value.
Resistance and Weakness cancel out at a rate of 1 to 1.
Damage Formula for Weakness: Min(Damage + Weakness, 2 × Damage)

Absorption is when the Target gets Healed from the Damage, shortened as [Damage Type]-ABS.
When taking Damage, for each point of Damage, turn it into Healing, capped by the Absorption's value.
This means, even with Absorption, the Target might take actual Damage with a strong enough Hit.
Absorption applies before Resistance and Weakness, in case it isn't enought to Absorb all the Damage.

Penetration is Resistance Negation, written as [Type]-Pen.
Penetration can't reduce Resistance to negative values.
If an Ability, Meta-Ability, or something else changes the Damage Type of something, its Penetration Type is also changed.

Things with loose physical presence (air, shadow and light Entities, ect...) have 100 Armor.
Incorporeal things have 1000 Armor.

Things which are connected to living but aren't (wood, paper, nails, Undead Creatures, ect...) have 100 Bio-RES.
Non-Biological things (Plastic, Rock, Steel, ect...) have 1000 Bio-RES.

COMBAT ANNOTATIONS

REST-HP

REST-HP is spent in Short-Rests to recover HP.
REST-HP is restored after a Long-Rest.
If an Ability Costs REST-HP, it can also be paid in HP.

BUFFER

BUFFER, as the name implies, is a buffer for recieving Damage.
When taking any kind of Damage, the Post-Mitigation will go into the BUFFER rather than HP or SP.
Any excess Damage not stopped by the BUFFER goes past it, into the HP or SP.

For Hybrid Damage the BUFFER recieves both HP and SP, effectively Doubling Damage recieved by the BUFFER.
The Target chooses the order of Damage which goes into their BUFFER, if the Damage is Hybrid or Multiple Type.
Example: Recieving Radiant (Hybrid), the Target chooses that first the SP part goes into the BUFFER.

A BUFFER cannot be Healed. (Exceptions may exist)
BUFFERs cannot Stack, the Target chooses between sources of BUFFER.
If Duration isn't written, a BUFFER lasts till the End of the next Long-Rest.

Maximize and Minimize

If an amount that should be thrown with Dice is Maximized, then treat it as if it rolled the highest value it could have.
Some things might me Minimized, this is the opposite, treat as if you rolled the lowest.
Maximizing and Minimizing To-Hit does NOT change its CRIT state, only the To-Hit!

Executing

Executing Damage is Damage which is Maximized, but only if Target HP ≤ Damage
If the Damage is SP, then Target SP ≤ Damage
If the Damage is Hybrid (HP and SP), then if one of the conditions are met the other part is also Maximized.

Potency

For each point of Potency, an Ability will increase in a Single one of its Linearly Scaling Ability Stats.
Potency will fade away on any still ongoing Ability after a Minute! (20 Rounds)
Examples: Damage, Healing, Shielding, SP, HD, BUFFER, REST-HP, ect...
Exceptions: Range, Size, Item Tier

Spending Potency on Saves will require 2 Potency for each +1 Save Difficulty!

AOE

AOEs are Attacks which effect an area.
Everything within the Area is counted as Target.
Examples: Sphere, *Cone, Line, Cylinder, Cube, ect...
*Cone is not a real cone, it's a Sphere Sector, with its Spread, or Width being the side to side Angle of it.
Note: Lines, Cylinders, and Disks are technically the same shape.

There are 3 Types of AOEs; Static, Flowing, and Crawling.
Static AOEs just Appear, and Ignore any type of Cover.
Flowing AOEs have a flow.
A Flowing Sphere AOE will usually have a single point which it expands from, for Example: Fireball.
A Flowing Line or Cylinder AOE will usually have a single point or plane which it flows from, for Example: Steel Tempest.
Crawling AOEs abide by all the Rules of Flowing AOEs, but it can Change Flow Direction to fill its designated AOE.

An AOE's center can be the Center of a Hexa or Square, or optionally even the Corner.
It's up to the GM's choice.
Note: AOEs which start from an Entity, always Start from their middle.

When a Flowing AOE Attack is Fully Negated by an Entity, or Tanked by something considered Full Cover, the Flow of the AOE Stops there.
Example: A Line or Cylinder Hits a Target, which fully Negates the Attack, Entities behind the Target, in a Line are unaffected.
Example: A Cone or Sphere Hits a Target, which fully Negates the Attack, Entities behind the Target, in a (*small) Cone are unaffected.
Note: A Crawling AOE will just Crawl around a Target, even if Fully Negated, or even around a Wall if it has enough Range.
