FASERIP+FATE

I'm thinking of a Supers Game using FASERIP's attributes & Adjectives.

Dice would either be some variation on %, 4dF, or d6-d6.

0-2 levels above DC would be Green
3-5 levels would be Yellow
6+ would be Red

Health would be more like FATE, but that leaves Armor being weird.

Ok so if you use FASERIP straight, then a Yellow result does a minimum of 1/10 damage & Red does 2/10 damage minimum.

Ok...so less changes than I though.

What is your Past?

What is your job?

What do you see in your Future?

Combat

Prepared for Battle-Battle Mages are so well trained at casting Missle/Fireball spells they can have materials on hand in 1 second instead of 1d4.



Level 5 Simul-Casting-A Battle Mage cast 2 spells at the same time, but they must be of offensive or defnsive nature.

Combat

Superior Defense-Per the Thief

Level 1-Intimidating Display - If not surprised or ambushed in combat, a Monk's Initiative Die is 1 size lower.

Level 2 Improvise Weapon-A Monk can turn any ordinary object into a weapon.

Level 5 Really Intimidating Display-Per Intimidating Display, but 2 Initiative Die sizes lower.

Weapon Specializaion-Per Fighter, except Monks cannot specialize in hurled weapons.

Open Hand 2d4p 7(5) S 1 foot Crushing
Kick (1d4+1d6)p 10 M 3 feet Crushing

*Ki-A Monk has 5+Level per Day Ki Points. Each point may be spent to increase damage on an Open Hand or Kick that successfully hits.

Framewerk + ORE

Hmmm...

So you roll your dice pool & look for either your highest single die, matches, or straight.

Randomly roll a D10 for Initiative & for Hit Location OR just abandon Hit Location. Or just set a certain die for Initiative.

Skills could either just be a separate pool or just add their value.

Skills in Framewerk are rolled & Attribute added.
Attributes are halved & rolled.

So Hard Dice could add 1 per die. If I have 3D + 4HD. I roll 7D, take the best result & add 4.
Or Hard Dice could be either automaticall 5, 6, 7, or 10. 5 or 6 is my preference.
Or Hard Dice could all be equal to the roll of 1D. So if I roll a 5 & have 3 HD I have 15.

Wobble Dice could be whatever you want or each WD could be worth 2 plus the highest trash die. So 6D+3WD. I roll 9D, take best result & add 6 plus 1d10.
Also Aberrant using the FATE Damage Track AND having SOAK work just like in nWoD.

Also what is the system of Unhallowed Metropolis??

Enter the HackMaster

So Kenzer & Co. being the finest RPG publisher's in the industry, with awards to prove it, got me my copy of HMb the day it was schedule to ship.

I now begin preparing for my game:

I think Talents will be easy to make & easier to import for HM4.

Opposed Skill tests are still a question for me.

I'd like to conscider bringing a Blood Mage, Wild Mage, Cavalier, Ninja, & Charlatan as Pre-Gens

Thinking of a Sorcerer Class that has the set up of a Mage, but can cast ANY spell in the game, cast more often, but knows very few spells.

HackMaster

Strangely, I've come full circle to my D&D of choice: HackMaster 4E...basically AD&D 2E.  I game I walked away from in disgust.  How times change.

However, its HackMaster 5E BASIC that I plan on running.  Most likely.  If it turns out to be a dud, then HM4 waits in the wings.

Highlights:

-"Fast" Zombies attacking.

-My Orcs are talking Gorillas, my Wargs are Velociraptors.

-Most likely no Dwarves or Elves until the party parleys with either empire.

-The Ziggurat

-Shub-Niggurath

-The Wardens

-The Conflagration
