Re: Need help understanding the numbers in character generation

Base Zero is more of a concept than a hard rule, that you want your Abilities and Weaknesses to balance each other out. In other words, your Abilities minus your Weaknesses should be close to Zero. There is some wiggle room, though, with the default of having about 5 or less points in difference. A ...

Re: Over-the-top Idea

I might try to further illustrate this idea with Guyver and Tekkaman. A Zoanoid would be +1, a Guyver would be +2, and a Guyver Gigantic would be +3. A Tekkaman would probably be +3 and a Blaster Tekkaman would be +4. Hah. Tekkaman Blade is one of my favorite anime, so every now and then I try to c...

Antagonist and Horde Generator

I've been tweaking and refining my NPC ideas, and I think I've gotten them to the final version. Please feel free to use and critique this as you will. Basic Antagonist Stats Health: (1d6+4)x10, Endurance: (1d6+4)x10, Roll: 1d6+1, DX: 1d6 -Bosses have their Health doubled. By default, an Antagonist ...

Re: Over-the-top Idea

A benefit of the Horde and Boss Generator is one can play OVA solo with this. As an example and a playtest, I ran a quick one shot, using Malekai as a player character. I rolled a 1d6 to see how many Hordes Malekai would encounter (3), how many members where in each horde (1st Horde had 10 members, ...

Re: Over-the-top Idea

As with mooks and hordes, here is the idea for Boss Generator using Monstrous levels. Boss (Monstrous Level 1) Health: (1d6+4)x100 Roll: 1d6+1 DX: 1d6x5 Boss (Monstrous Level 2) Health: (1d6+4)x200 Roll: 1d6+1 DX: 1d6x10 Boss (Monstrous Level 3) Health: (1d6+4)x500 Roll: 1d6+1 DX: 1d6x25 Boss (Monst...

Re: Mook NPCs

Boss Generator Previously I have provided an idea on how to generate stats for individual encounters and horde encounters. Now, here is an idea for random boss encounters. Boss Health: (1d6+4)x20 Boss Rolls: 1d6+1 Boss DX: 1d6 Bosses can have twice as much health as other characters, so this gives ...

Re: Over-the-top Idea

I talk of Horde Encounters here . If one wants to use the Monstrous scale for Hordes, here are some stats. Horde size: 1d6+4 members Horde Size (Monstrous level 1) 1 member- Health: 50, Roll: 2d6, DX: x5 2 members- Health: 100, Roll: 2d6, DX: x10 3 members- Health: 150, Roll: 2d6, DX: x15 4 members-...

Re: Mook NPCs

With the recent re-release of Diablo 2, I got to thinking about mass combat in OVA. Mass combat is always a tricky thing, since it can quickly bog down any game. Here's an easy idea to randomly generate a horde to throw at players, as a single stat block. Roll 1d6+4. This determines the size of the ...

Those that have seen Saber’s Legion thread will recognize that I’ve statted up some Transformers characters, so I thought it might be useful to put up a Robots in Disguise thread. Some basic notes: I generally give Transformers Lif...
