OH GODS HAVE MERCY! IT IS THE BEAST THEY CALL RUFUS!

[Dorsidwarf]

Idea: ROLL TO SHIV THE WALLS

shivs, shivs, everywhere.

Skills are split into the following:

Backstab:

Faceshiv:

Convincing people you won't shiv them:

Pretending you didn't just shiv them:

Not shivving them:

Other Stuff:


When you attack, you roll 2d6.

First d6 is for hit.

Second d6 is for damage.


If you get a 6 on rolls one or two, you roll again for Modifier. This means an additonal effect happens. High numbers mean the additonal effect happened to you, low numbers the other guy. 3 means you both get it because karma or something. a 1 on the modifier means something like "their head implodes", whilst a six means something like "You shiv them so hard that the knife becomes sentient and shivs you back".





It will be glorious.

I'm assuming this takes place in a prison or something? That gives me an idea for a crafting idea on that subject...

Basically, you find junk around the place. This junk is randomly generated to be useless. It can be fantastical like a broken cloning tube, or just plain down to earth like individual nails. When you want to craft, you say your "ideal". The ideal is what you want at the end: a gun, a lockpick, or suit of armor. Then, I roll a 3d(number of junk items) and then roll for the quality of the craft. The result is what it would be like if the three useless pieces of crap were combined to form a gun/lockpick/suit of armor.

Perplexicon, in a setting where the magical tongue is dead and the written version is hard to come by.

So, of course, the few mages that know the language are pressed into service making artifacts.

Artifacts for THE GLADIATORS.

YOU ARE THE GLADIATORS. KILL THINGS.
---

So, every person is given randomized equipment based on the pack they chose, which could be anything from a ring of miasma lasers to a sword of ink blades. Your Pool and Potency stats now affect how many magical artifacts you can attempt to activate and how easy it is for you to do so correctly.

A pack contains a weapon, two accessories or other weapons, chest, arm, leg, and head armor. Each has a d12 rolled for them.
1: The item is absent.
2: Reroll the item as some other type of item.
3: The item is of a poor material for what it is and is unenchanted, also possibly broken or poorly made
4: The item is of a poor material for what it is and is unenchanted.
5: The item is of a poor material for what it is and has an enchantment.
6: The item is of a good material and is unenchanted.
7-8: The item is of a good material and is enchanted.
9: The item is of a good material and has a double enchantment.
10: The item is made of exceptional material but carries no enchantment.
11: The item is made of exceptional material and carries an enchantment.
12: The item is made of exceptional material and carries a double enchantment.

An item may be considered exceptional with normal materials if paired with a complex material, such as clockwork.

Rings are fairly common, and allow you to cast whatever spell is on them from your hand if they have a magic engraving.

---

So let's go ahead and gen a few packs.

Spoiler: Iron Soldier Pack (click to show/hide)

Weapon (11) "This is an exceptional Clockwork Iron sword. It has an engraving upon it. It has two modes of use. It's engraving translates to "Blood Spray", and when activated, sprays blood from the sword with high pressure. It's two modes are Battle and Execution: the first is a single-handed blade, +1 to Strength, the second mode makes the blade a much longer 2-handed weapon, +3 Strength, user cannot dodge, evade, retreat, or quickdraw in this mode, switching takes one action
Accessory(1) ---
Accessory(9) Silver Ring/Red Stone: A silver ring with a bloodred stone in it. It has two enchantments that can be used separately: "Sound Shockwave" and "Force Rain".
Chest(10) An exceptionally well designed clockwork iron chestplate that can switch modes, between "Compact" and "Bastion". While "Compact", the wearer gains +1 Dex, -1 to dealing damage to wearer, Thrust attacks do not ignore damage reduction. While "Bastion", the wearer gains +3 Str and +1 Endurance, -1 Speed, and -2 to dealing damage to wearer.
Arms(4) These bracers are made of wood. +1 to Parry rolls.
Legs(3) Wooden greaves, quite splintery. No effect.
Head(6) A leather cap. It's quite comfy. -1 to damage rolls against.

Spoiler: Breeze Ranger (click to show/hide)

Weapon(7) A wood and aluminum crossbow with aluminum bolts. Reloading takes an action. +1 to Retreat rolls.
Accessory(6) A wood and iron buckler. It's small, but dosen't require a hand to hold. +2 to block rolls.
Accessory(9) A silver ring with a single engraving: "Eldritch Miasma Ball".
Head(2) ( A small dagger with an engraving: "Wind Sword". +2 to Thrust rolls.
Arms(4) Cloth armguards. Mostly useless.
Legs(11) Silver Bushido greaves. +4 to Retreat rolls, once. -2 to damage rolls against.
Chest(7)A silver half-chestplate. It has an enchantment for "Wind Aura".

I'm a little murky on targeting, as I'm heavily basing this off of the current discussions and testings going on in the Perpublicon thread.

[Execute/Dumbo.exe]

It's very interesting, if a little unbalanced, but unbalanced is the name of the game after the first perplexicon had people firing eldritch death beams while others were busy summoning cylindrical cats and then petting said CYLINDRICAL CATS.

[Tsuchigumo550]

I wanted that catstaff, but it was not meant to be.

As an idea, it needs more work, especially since ranged weapons aren't ready for the action-reaction system yet.

[Execute/Dumbo.exe]

Arcane flying explosive cats.

That's all I have to say.

WHAT KEEPS PESTERING ME:
Racing RtD based on WipEout.
WHAT I'M MODERATELY OK AT:
MECHA FIGHTS.

RESULT:
The teams from WipEout are getting combat mechs. Working on it right now. Kinda. Working out what the primary mecha for each team looks like.

Qirex has heavily armored legs but a relatively light everything else, requiring the pilot to be fast on reactions to block attacks with the shoulders or other plates of armor.

Pirhana is fast. Really fast. They like to hit and run. Did I mention FAST.

that's... kinda it, but heads up this might work maybe not I dunno brain's tired

[Joben]

I can't math.

What is the median result of 1d10-1d10 if we ignore any results below 1?

Basically I want the average degree of success of a hit in a attackdice-defensedice combat system.

I think it's about 3 when using D10, but like I said, I can't math so I want someone to confirm.

[flabort]

Well, since we're ignoring values of 0 or less, I made a list of all possible combinations of 1 or higher.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

2-1=1
3-1=2
3-2=1
4-1=3
4-2=2
4-3=1
5-1=4
5-2=3
5-3=2
5-4=1
6-1=5
6-2=4
6-3=3
6-4=2
6-5=1
7-1=6
7-2=5
7-3=4
7-4=3
7-5=2
7-6=1
8-1=7
8-2=6
8-3=5
8-4=4
8-5=3
8-6=2
8-7=1
9-1=8
9-2=7
9-3=6
9-4=5
9-5=4
9-6=3
9-7=2
9-8=1
10-1=9
10-2=8
10-3=7
10-4=6
10-5=5
10-6=4
10-7=3
10-8=2
10-9=1

I then put all the results into a weighted die on anydice.
By clicking Summary, I see the mean is 3.67 with a standard deviation of 2.21.
Edit: Here is the same concept, expanded wider.

[Joben]

Thank you!

edit. omg fantastic.

BATTLE BIKES. It's the legal version of taping guns to your motorcycle!

You're entering the amateur league of BATTLE BIKES, for whatever reason. first, you'll have to CHOOSE A TEAM and PURCHASE A BIKE.

Bikes come in three variants (four or five, but thee main ones): Dart, Stunt, and Power. Darts are generally fast at the cost of size and armor, Stunts are a good middle point with great control, and Power bikes are all about weight and firepower. You've also got Prototype and Fury, two variants unique among all teams.

There are six teams a player may choose to join.
shARD: Known perfectionists, shARD are known for pushing a bike's capabilities to its limit.
Volk: This company is known for their aggression on and off the track.
Eagle Eins: Originally contracted for military vehicle design, now builds bikes suitable for the dangers of BATTLE BIKES.
Davis Motors: Makes stylized bikes for a civilian market. Remarkably balanced.
Kunai: A Japanese company known for innovations in design.
Lucha Tigre: Inconsistent design dosen't always mean bad design, though the company isn't very uniform in what it wants to achieve.

---

Each bike has a Top Speed, Acceleration, Control, Agility, Armor, and Firepower stat. Top Speed is the maximum points you'll gain per section of track completed, Acceleration is how fast you gain speed, Control is how easy it is to navigate difficult track sections as well as the amount of speed you lose, Agility is how easy it is for you to access hard-to-reach track sections and shortcuts, Armor is how many hits you can take before exploding, and Firepower determines how big of a weapon you can pick up and use.

[flabort]

Thank you!

edit. omg fantastic.

Your welcome. Least I could do.

So, anyone want to make that new RTD Testing Thread? Otherwise I'm just gonna dig up Draignean's one. What I want to test isn't necessarily that RTD-ish, but damnit, we have a glorious tradition of testing and I won't cross over to FG&RP unless in desperate need. I remember someone interested in starting it up again here, anyway?

This is the original thread, for those yet not enlightened.
