Combat

To prevent combat that quickly finishes a dice system will be implemented for combat. Said dice system will revolve around 2 different stages of combat. These two stages are attacking and damage. First, the attacker and defender will roll against each other, whichever side has the higher number either defends or attacks. The attacker if successful will be allowed to deal damage depending on their target according to what they are using. Please note that all attacks will have a base set amount of damage and that can be taken or you may roll to see if you can get a higher number. A defender if successful may perform a counter-attack on their attacker using the same rules as the attacker.

Magic and Skills used in combat will use a slightly different set of rules to determine a few factors when it comes to fighting. First, depending on what type of magic or skill is used, from what distance, how big of an area it will cover, and if the defender can feasibly defend against the attack in some way. Once these are taking into account the defender must make a roll against the set number a spell or skill has in order to either dodge or mitigate some of the damage.

The dice used in combat will be ten-sided dice, twenty-sided dice, and a percentile die to decide certain factors. Ten-sided will be used to determine who wins the roll off in attacking and defending. The Twenty-Sided die shall be used to determine your new damage if you choose to roll it. Finally, the percentile die will be used to determine if any extra effect from your attack is added such as a major bleeding, being stunned by blunt force, lighting aflame, and so on.


Encounters and Travel

Travel in this will be handled with a time system in the game that each location will have between areas. This time system will be set as hours at a time between an encounter or interaction with party members. An example of this is a three-man party is walking to a new town, they've come across a few herbs and decide to pick them to sell or use, after picking the herbs and moving on this would count towards as two hours have passed without moving towards the town. Now say this same group continues on towards their goal but encounter monsters who they flee from in the direction of their goal. This would subtract an amount equal to how long and far they ran from the monsters but, time can be added if they got caught and had to fight. Time is also added for breaks like eating, sleeping, or anything that would cause them to not continue towards their goal. Traveling will also require characters to take breaks to rest and eat so as to prevent basically instantaneous travel.


Encounters are times when one will come across either monsters, a quest, items, or any other set of random things while traveling between towns. Encounters are random in their occurrence and what it will be that one encounters. Note that encounters will never be set up in a way that would try and favor anyone over another. This is done to keep the game fair for everyone and prevent anything that could be seen as playing favorites. Encounters can almost always be avoided if the player(s) do not wish to partake in them. Encounters will always be a mixed bag of good and bad situations that play out or are avoided.



If more is added to mechanics due to the growth or change in the RP all players will be notified.
