Here's a similar probability list to the one listed above starting at a -4 dice pool (taking only the lowest number) up to a 14 dice pool with their corresponding chances of succeeding against a difficulty of Easy (2) up to 1st Edition's difficulty of Nigh Impossible (15). Dice Pool Probabilities (i...

In OVA Revised, if multiple ones show up (and it's not a Rolling All Ones scenario), can they still added together? Unlike the original OVA RPG, there is no "One is the Loneliest Number" rule (where ones don't get added up) or at least I didn't find it. Just wanted to know if that was stil...

If you're talking about OVA Revised, all attacks have a base endurance cost of zero before perks and flaws are tallied. As to whether or not perceptive should apply to scoped weapons, that's your call. If anything, declare that you're taking one round to aim your shot to then apply your Perceptive d...

Clay: In more traditional comics such as Marvel & DC, strength, potency, and speed probably have the most stratified ranges out of any super-trait, and I think the 1-5 scale for such things doesn't do it justice, especially as OVA is aimed at simulating character traits by terms of effectiveness...

A minimum level for Super-Strong (level 1) would provide a DX of 5+1, not 5+5, since Super-Strong replaces Strong. The DX progression would continue as if Strong were to be increased beyond level 5, without having to extend the heaviness DN table to DNs beyond 15 (which there are none listed nor sho...

Here's a possible solution to the problem of the Strong ability. When a character goes beyond Strong Level 5, rather than increasing the level of Strong further, Strong gets replaced to a higher-scale ability representing a new order of strength magnitude, such as Super-Strong, with its own examples...

How would I be able to make, say, a Kryptonian character in OVA? There are Scale rules in revised, but how would I make that as a character, since the difficulties for doing things with the Strong ability apply to a human scale?

Backed. I'm so glad that this kickstarter finally happened, as it represents one step closer to actual fruition.

First thing you have to do is to have a detailed description of what each class does (in point-buy games, these are referred to as "templates"). Once you have that, just go through the list of abilities and weaknesses and select the ones that best correspond to each class. If you want to d...

Just wanted to say that OVA Revised Edition is less than three months away! Can't wait to get my hands on a physical copy.

Is there going to be a default campaign setting for OVA revised? If so, will it be the world populated by OVA's iconic characters?

I wasn't referring to any specific setting, but if you want a link to something in a more general direction, there's http://peginc.com/, Pinnacle's website. Deadlands works, if that's what you're interested in. I'd like to play in that setting, but don't know a GM who has it. As for a Savage Setting...

You can incorporate the listed changes and apply them, in the meantime. Playtesting it would be cool, though. I wonder how that's going to turn out. A nice alternative in the meantime would be Savage Worlds, since it's great for quick prep time. The campaign settings they have are really cool, too. ...

Despite the number of methods that could detect invisibility, Invisibility is still a bad-ass ability. People aren't normally prepared for invisible characters, and all of the things you mentioned also effect Art of Invisibility, a.k.a. stealth. As for Time Freeze, that's a godlike ability, if there...

One interesting alternative to how standard combat plays out "beat each other up until one side loses all of his Health/Endurance" is to make combat an extended ability test. Whichever side rolls the most successes (or reaches a predetermined target number by accumulative rolls) wins. Bein...
