Ok for the first, about the second.... I can only assume that it would be a basic Ranged Attack with the Unique Perk of "Character Appears before Target" or something to that effect since it's sounds more like a useful side effect rather than an unwanted consequence. Probably +3 at minimum...

Ok, here's a short question: I've to design a couple of special ranged attacks: Ranged (human bullet) - this variation means that the character is propelled against the target, and after the attack he will find himself right in front of the enemy (even if the attack was parried). This means he canno...

Oh thanks for the help... unfortunately most player I had were looking for "attack magic" so I used the Attack ability, this is the first time someone wants to play an "utility" mage! for Shadow Form I created a new ability: he was not Invisibile or Insubstantial, but he could cl...

Hello... I played a lot of Ova but I never used the Magic (Arcane) attribute in my games so now I have some questions: 1) how di you make special/unusual effects such as divination/scrying or form of shadow? (Well for the latter I made a custom ability similar to Invisibility). The question is if th...

For My own 2 cents, I'd probably suggest keeping the base 40 points but separate Endurance and Health so they can't be a second 'life bar'. This was my idea for a simple reason: Endurance is useful for a lot of other things besides being a life bar: as Clay said in that topic, there are those Endur...

Thanks! Anyway I am dumb since I've just find a similar topic! viewtopic.php?f=2&t=12394

I wonder which of the two solution was chosen by the author since I have still to try the two options in play!

Hello, After a long techno-fantasy campaign, I'm currently try to tailor the Ova system, that is great if I want to roleplay, let's say for example Dragonball, but I'm aiming for a dark, cyberpunk setting. The first idea was reducing Heath and Endurance, but another "line of though" I've h...

I think that the beauty of the setting is the versatility: last time the party was composed by a guy with a big shotgun that could use as a mace, a shadow mage with a hawk familiar and a weretiger. We played both fantasy (well techno fantasy) settings and modern ones (inspired by Killer7, made more ...

Yes I liked them a lot and now that I am developing my setting (FF7 is the main inspiration) and I found the stats for the characters and opponents really useful! If there is any other material somewhere I think that it will be appreciated. No problem for the language, I can probably translate the a...

I did that and worked very well! It was even the first time those players tried the Ova system (I used pre-generated characters, of course). I used just a little modification: heroes and villains were slightly weaker and started with 30/30 instead of 40/40 (still heroic anyway).

Oh and about PDQ...I loved Jotss (jaws of the six serpents), the Sword and Sorcery setting and rules... buuut I still prefer how Ova handles combat: my players find it more realistic than in Pdq (they hated the "damaged abilities rules... and prefer using hitpoints...after all it's odd losing y...

I think that the "problem" is the freedom that OVA gives: game system is simple but you have a lot of freedom. To tell the truth I never head problema creating characters with expert players (we played a lot of different rpgs) but were have to spend a whole session to do that (mostly to co...

Augustus DeVantery - Young inquisitor This is a low-ranking member of the Inquisition, the first real enemy that Kasakuma had to fight: the young inquisitor was able to capture the demon just because he found him asleep. But later Kasakuma escaped and Augustut tried to capture him again. Augustus i...

Clint Westwood - Bishonen gunslinger and bounty hunter Clint is one of the bounty hunters hired by some secret organization to find and capture (if possible) or kill Kasakuma. He's a pretty silver haired boy skilled with guns: he normally uses a blue metal .44 revolver named Starkiller, that keeps ...

Kasakuma - Fire Demon swordsman Kasakuma (in japanese Kasai means fire, and Akuma means demon) is a demon that was summoned by a demonologist, and he fought the sorcerer for control, hoping to go back to his realm... unfortunately, after he annihilated the demonologist's spirit, he realized he was ...
