Welcome
I'm starting a new RTD, since my last one was too ambitious, and I made a lot of other mistakes, too.
So, I'm hoping to start a fresh leaf here, with a rather minimalistic RTD, albeit one which use a system similar to my previous one (items, skills, race and class can modify rolls). Like the previous one, I'm going to decide on the setting when I receive all the characters. The limit of players is 6.

Hometown:
You start off with 15 points to use on your stats.

Skills determine whether or not you can do something. I also reserve the right to auto-fail your actions when attempting something impossible, even by the standards of magic here, or way out your league, like trying to cast a 50ft fireball as a fighter/ork.

Sooooo....
He can do funky things with dreams, then? Can he make people fall asleep to? That'd probably be real handy, considering what he is.

[The Froggy Ninja]

Yeah Phobotos was the Greek god of surreal dreams and impossible objects and one of Hypnos' three sons. I was thinking a cross between a psychic class and a mechanomancer.

Wut? How does that work? What impossible objects?

He would send dreams of inventions and such to inspire the great scholars of the age.

I've decided this isn't going to be minimalist after all, because that'd be to boring. Look at the char sheet for more details.

Edited my sheet.

Edited my sheet.

So I noticed.

I can't help but wonder...
What is the meaning of life?

Combat
Right now, I'll be explaining the combat mechanics. It works like so: if Generic Character A has a higher speed stat than Generic Dragon during the combat turn. From there, he picks an action, such as healing his party members, trying to tame the dragon or attacking said dragon. I roll a die to determine whether or not it succeeds. Then, if attacking, or healing or etc. I roll another die to determine how successful said action is. For example, Generic Player A attacks Generic Dragon. He lands on a 4 and then a 2, resulting in a mere scratch. A partial success might result in successfully attacking the ground.

I was thinking that he could but it would be hard and he would mostly just attack sleeping monsters.

Which would make combat boring. Or it would but it's time for an introduction to

Confused: When attacking, there is a 1 in 2 chance of attack being redirected towards your ally. Lasts for 2 turns.
