That is an interesting idea. Early on, I had considered having Perceptive add to Attack ROLLS when using ranged attacks, but I don't think using it as an equivalent of Strong came to mind. It's a bit of an abstraction, since by OVA logic it's the attack roll that makes you hit BETTER, while the DX ...

There's been lots of great answers from everyone about this, but in case you want some thoughts straight from the horse's mouth: 1) While only Attack specifically delineates multiple "settings" for the Ability, there's no reason you can't apply the same logic to others. Sometimes this mak...

Ah yes gear can be given to someone else. What about weapons and foci? I guess weapons could be a bit tricky to disentangle from the character. For a focus I would guess it would depend on how the focus works in a narrative sense?

Welcome! I'm also impressed with OVA, as it does a lot of things that I like. It's My current go to RPG. I'll try to answer your questions. 1. The Attack ability name is slightly inaccurate. You don't need Attack to make attacks, but it makes your attacks more powerful. Basically, Attack is your ma...

Here is a crazy idea. Make perceptive add to ranged damage the way strength does to melee, and make ranged a +5 perk.

I only picked up OVA recently and am very impressed with it. But as I guess is common I do have a few questions. I know there are quite a few threads on here like this and I am sorry to add more of the same. As much as possible I am trying to answer my own questions by studying the book more or read...

Make it work like normal sleep after the effect has run its course. If there is still a fight going on, they wake up. If they have been left in a comfy chair in a quiet room they might sleep for a few more hours.
