Game information

Here you will find everything you need to know to make a character and play the game.

THE RULES
Characters are defined by their traits. Traits range from equipment, to events that are important in their lives, to simple skills, or people important to them. Some of these traits -can- be double-edged swords

Each character has 5d4, 5d6, and 5d8 to assign at creation.

There are three required traits: These are Mind, Body, and Soul. They represent things inherent to any person, such as physical shape, willpower, or intelligence. You don't have to assign ALL dice at chargen. In between sessions, or during timeskips, and sometimes during play, with GM approval, you may assign on the spot.

You roll your dice against the GM. In any given scene, you may only roll a trait ONCE. These dice are used as a pool for using actions, and are opposed by the GM's dice.

Action resolution is as such. Let's say a fight breaks out and your appropriate dice are a 4, 3, 1, 5, and 8.

You assign a single die to any action. It's opposed by a die that the GM assigns. Whomever wins the comparison, wins, and the GM will adjudicate how the action/scene takes place, or will give the player free reign to dictate what happens. To get more dice in any given scene, come up with something new that uses a different attribute, or escalate(fistfighting progresses to swords, different skills/gear come into play). Each time dice are compared, the exceeding number is recorded as a positive/negative score for GM purposes(if your 1 opposes an enemy's 8, but you win the fight, you may have a severe wound, for instance.)

Note:
At chargen, 2 dice is the most you can have in any single trait. also: 2d8 in a trait means it's pretty badass. Use it sparingly.
