“The rolling system”

You roll 1 dice for every 20 attribute points, for example having 60 strength would mean “3 dice rolls”

Below 30 – 1 dice (increased difficulty)
30 – 1 dice
40 – 1 dice
50 - 2 dice
60 – 3 dice
70 – 3 dice
80 – 4 dice
90 – 4 dice
100 – 5 dice

“Disciplines”

Disciplines are rolled “1” dice per level;

Level 1 – 1 dice roll
Level 2 – 2 dice roll
Level 3 – 3 dice roll
Level 4 – 4 dice roll
Level 5 – 5 dice roll
Rank 6 – 6 dice roll
Rank 7 – 7 dice roll
Rank 8 – 8 dice roll
Rank 9 – 9 dice roll
Rank 10 – 10 dice roll

“The turn based system”
Each turn is about 4 seconds long, and restricted to one action. This means you can not do multiple actions at once for example lets say Isador was going to use full auto on Kazi and Kazi was going to dodge I wouldn’t for example use this action;
“Kazi: Doges running up the stairs and attacks Isador then runs down the road and gets a cup of coffee and hand some to Isador then goes to sleep”
That whole turn is like 3 hours long, so please be realistic, i will whisper to you if i think the turn is too long.
Dexterity can however play an important roll in how much time an action requires according to the chart below your dexterity can reduce time it takes to do an action:
Below 20 – 0 second(s) reduced
30 – 0.1 second(s) reduced
40 – 0.2 second(s) reduced
50 – 0.3 second(s) reduced
60 – 0.4 second(s) reduced
70 – 0.5 second(s) reduced
80 – 0.6 second(s) reduced
90 – 0.8 second(s) reduced
100 – 1 second (s) reduced

Why does that help, and how does it work?
The ST (me) will automatically do this in the background so you have no worries, I will whisper to you if you have more time to spend on an action. Taking out your gun from your pocket is about 1 – 3 seconds depending on the gun attacking is about 2 – 4 seconds depending on the attack.

Does anything else reduce time or give me more time to act?
Yes, celerity however you will not get extra time to your turn. You will get extra turns according to the chart below.
Celerity 1 – 1 extra turn
Celerity 2 - 2 extra turn(s)
Celerity 3 – 3 extra turn(s)
Celerity 4 – 4 extra turn(s)
Celerity 5 – 5 extra turn(s)
Etc...

“The difficulty system”
Most of the time you will not know what the difficulty is. The difficulty is a number for example “5” which must be got or even better if you want to get what is called a “success” which increases the chance of you succeeding in an action.

For example if I was going to dodge an incoming blow from a sword and had 80 dex thats 4 dice, let’s say i rolled (at a difficulty of 7)

%4
Yumi rolls: 1,4,7,9

I would have 2 successes.

Now the chance of me dodging or not depends on who is trying to attack me, now this works as follows. That player/NPC will also attempt the same roll with he same difficulty and he must have more successes then you in order for it to be a hit. Lets say the person attacking is Ze shadow (he has 50 dexterity as Yumi is trying to dodge the turn becomes a dexterity outcome)

%2
Ze shadow rolls: 1, 9
(At difficulty of 7)

That would be 1 success so, Yumi would of dodged the blow as she won the roll with 2 successes.

“Events”

An event such as spotting someone on the roof will occur if;
• The players stat meets the demand of the event i.e. if it requires 50 perception and no one in the part has 50 perception the event will not occur.
• Where the player is or is looking – i.e. facing the same way as the event is going to happen
• The area i.e. where you are in the woods or out in the open etc...


Events are rolled at a difficulty which most of the time you will not know, if you fail to meet the difficulty you will fail the roll.
