HOO, that was a lot of editing. More formatting, and massively rearranged the information; it should be much easier to read, and more ideally organized.

@JerkchickenI'll keep that in mind, thank you.

Some more editing done; edits for consistency, further clarification on certain elements, elaborated on others and how they work, precisely.

Example: Favor is a Characteristic meant to encourage diverse strategies, because it's a way to give further bonuses and effectiveness in other areas that an Avatar could act- they don't all have to be purely combative, otherwise I'd just make this rock paper scissors, and the winner would just be the first one to jump on the scene with their best "I-am-a-MAN!" Punch. With good strategy, it is absolutely possible to beat stronger opponents, without relying purely on chance. Expect to see that theme come up at least once, btw :P

Because even games of chance should have an element of skill, if it's meant to be competitive. >:)

The next round of editing I do will likely be to better organize the rule book, and make it easier to use. Right now it's a bit all over the place.

Added a proposed point buy system, made some edits to the rule book. Doing more, later, but, need to do some other things, too.

I'm going to call it for point buy, than. I'll have something worked up for you all and added to the rules within the next 48 hours.

@Jerkchicken That's how I prefer it, actually. send away

That's two; looking good for point buy

High Rollers!- Anime inspired dice-focused setting

we have one for point buy, any others?

Guys, you can just @ me in the thread.

Anyway, posting the test Avatars that were used in the combat testing done yesterday. There have been multiple questions about examples, for clarification, so, here they are.

Test Avatars

Name: Hydroid
Element: Tide
Proficiency: 1
Potency: 2
Stamina: 2
Favor: 1
Prowess: 2
Medicine: 1
Enlightenment: 1
Description: A green polywog, the size of a small bear, eyes like an actopus, and lightly spiked armor.
Special Abilities:
- Tidal Wave (Attack) (5 CP)
- Undertow (Ability; Roll the Burst Die. The result determines a negative to opponents’ next Action Die roll. 1-3= -1, 4-6= -2, 7-9=-3, 10-12=-4, Potency Bonus doesn’t count) (3 CP)

Name: Infernoid
Element: Flame
Proficiency: 2
Potency: 2
Stamina: 1
Favor: 1
Prowess: 1
Medicine: 1
Enlightenment: 2
Description: A black wolf with a flaming mane and tail
Special Abilities:
- Wild Fire (Attack+Ability; continuous effect: deals 1/3 of original damage each turn after the initial attack, costs additional 5 CP per turn it’s kept up, can’t defend/charge on a turn this upkeep is performed. Effect wears off immediately on a turn where upkeep is not paid, cost must be paid before damage is done, cost must be paid at beginning of turn) (10 CP)

establishing the stats is explained in the rules, players get to set their Avatars' stats within reason, no rolling, no point buy, but, if you all think it would be easier, I can work up a point buy system for setting Avatar stats. What do you all think?

ok, got some play-testing done on my combat system, seems pretty solid, just a couple tweeks necessary, which I'm making directly to the rule book in the OP. I recommend those who want to seem like they already have a solid grasp on it? contact me for some practice, if that ends up being everybody, well, someone will have to roleplay being the "Joey Wheeler" of the group and pretend they don't know anything :P

Come one, there's always one, at least, in these plots :P
