Scratch

I don't think it's gonna go anywhere, but keep on trucking.

let me try again:

if you have ideas for a Scratch Ninja RPG game, not the forum ninja rpg, please post them here. It would mean a lot if you share your ideas and thoughts with us. I might incorporate them into the game, and if i do you will get credit.

How about power up ideas?

I say that you put in:
   Special fruit that heals you (it's supposed to look like a peach)
   A rock that could be used as a weapon or an ingredient for a potion.

hello??

well share it!

Actions

There are exactly five different types of actions corresponding to the five types of
Characteristics .  They are:

• Physical - aything having to do with physical power or performance;
• Mental - anything having to do with mental powers, intelligence, or wisdom;
• Emotional - anything having to do with personality or emotions, either one's own
or another's;
• Spiritual - anything having to do with the supernatural (gods, demons, ghosts, big
octopoid-like monsters)
• Social - communication and some specific types of knowedge (psychology,
seduction, etc)

To perform an action, roll 2d6 and add the appropriate CV (and any one skill, if
applicable); an action is successful on a roll of 7 or higher.  It's that simple.

Why ?  The maximum score on 2d6 is 12; in this range there are five numbers above 7
(i.e. 8-12).  Add to that a maximum CV of 4 and +1 for a skill and there are exactly 10
possible scores of a successful action.  Characters (and their Nemesis) are heros, and thus
stand a good chance of succeeding.  The real questions are how well and how quickly.

If it becomes necessary to tell how well an action was performed, the Quality Value (QV)
of an action is the number of points over 7 of the modified die roll (subtract 7 from the
die roll).  This is done automatically for you on the CRS.  There are three ways the GM
might complicate this (and sometimes more than one applies):

• Buffer It: set a minimum QV for the action, in effect setting a difficulty between
1 and 10.  For example, a particular knowledge requires a QV of +5.
• Tab It: require a total number of points be accumulated over an indefinite
number of rounds.  For example, a lock requires a total of 20 QV over the course
of several rounds.
• Degrade It: subtract a number of points from the final QV.  For example, a heavy
door  'absorbs' 3 points from every blow.

Teak's Optional Rules

Creating Characters

Step I: players may allocate a 10-point pool among the 5 Characteristics; each attribute
must be within the 1-4 range.

Step II: players may stack skills to achieve a higher bonus, limted by the CV.  Example:
a player may allocate under his Physical/3 a .32 Special/+3.

Actions

In order to accurately reflect the relative strength of various types of characters in
performing actions, the GM may assign different ranges to different attributes for
different characters.  For instance, a Hobbit might Roll a 1d12 to determine the outcome
of Physical actions, while an Ogre might have 4d3, and a dragon 6d2!


Combat and Contested Actions

Weapons and armor may be given degrading modifiers, theoretically between 1 and 10,
but practically between 1 and 4.  Armor subtracts from the attcker's QV while Weapons
serve only to overcome armor DMs.  For example, a chainmail +2 would subtract 2 from
the attacker's QV.  If attacked with a Sword +1, the chainmail would only subtract (+2-
+1) or +1 from the QV.  If attacked with a Sword +3 the chainmail would stop none of
the damage, but the sword would cause no extra damage.


Timing

Each round of action is 20 seconds in length.  Each player has a number of actions
within this 20 seconds equal to his Physical CV; thus, there are four 5-second segments.   
Beginning in the first segment and for as long as an individual character has actions
remaining in the round, order is determined in each segment according to the players'
Mental CV.  Players may delay their actions until a later segment, but may not act more
than twice in a single segment.  There are no free defensive rolls, and the defender waits
to see if the attacker succeds before rolling his defense.  However, once the defender acts,
he may roll defensive rolls against any attacks throughout that segment..  For example:
Alpha has a Physical 3/Mental 3 and Beta has a Physical of 2/Mental 2.  The GM starts in
segment 1 (the first 5 seconds).  Alpha always acts first, and rolls an attack against Beta;
Beta then rolls his defense.  In segment 2, Alpha rolls and misses, but Beta decides to
hold off on his last action (realizing they have at least one more segment to get through
because Alpha has 3 actions in a round).  In segment 3, Alpha attacks again and hits, and
Beta rolls his defense.  If Beta had an action remaining for the fourth segment, he
couldhave attacked Alpha who would have had no more actions with which the defend.

Sounds great!

but can you put it english i don't understand it.

I can explain the dice, 2d6 means 2, 6 sided dice. so, in (#1)d(#2), #1is the number of dice, and #2 is how many sides the dice has
