Re: New to OVA: A Few Questions
In the case of Combat though, the difference between Combat Expert and Knowledge (Karate) are really mostly narrative. That is, they both will give a bonus in Combat, the main difference being simply how one describes them hitting their target. That's where things can get dicey. For example, let's ...

Re: New to OVA: A Few Questions
It's because it's limited in what you can use it for, compared to some other stats. For example, Smart can be used for anything involving general intelligence, it can represent knowledge in a wide field of sciences, investigation work AND engineering. Whereas Knowledge would be used to show things l...

Re: New to OVA: A Few Questions
When it comes to movement speed, does the Quick Ability only give a bonus specifically to land speed (such as running), or does it also stack with other Abilities that represent forms of movement, such as Flight, or Unique Abilities for Swimming, Brachiation, or Digging/Burrowing/Tunneling, etc? Li...

Re: Gear and Attack
But Gear isn't always a weapon. It can be a power suit, that doesn't fall under the Mecha classification. Like Shadowman's Power Suit could be?

Re: Job/Class System?
I've been kicking around creating an FF styled game, where the players pick a 'Job' like Dragoon or Dark Knight and White Mage, and they make their characters the Job they want to play.

Re: Spider Tanks are Pretty Tough Even as Extras
So we learned not to underestimate Spider Tanks even if they're just Extras. First off, here's the issue: You used Scale as if it was bound to size, it does not, it is not, it should not all the time. There are plenty of Anime old and new out there where Giant Mechs or vehicles do not get their 'Sc...

Re: New to OVA: A Few Questions
Zealot, I personally would still give all the Maids Knowledge: Domestic Services, but at maybe Rank 2 and for free. Maids in general know a lot about how to maintain a residence. However, I would also get the Players to pick one 'specialty' at maybe Rank 1 to reflect where they want to be in the mai...

Re: The Hard Copy Book
It's not a bad thing, I want to stress. The fact that the rules can fit in such a small package is a plus for those of us with limited shelf-space, like me.
But man, I'm going to destroy this book.

Re: Sniffycrab's Bizarre Bazaar
Now that Sabersonic mentions it, I agree. The title sounds like an old fashioned store, you know?

Re: Gear and Attack
Let's try this again: Gear +2: Wakeru no Seikatsu Dai-Katana (Divider of Life) -Attack +2 So if I built it like this: Accurate (+5), Effective (+5) Requirement: Both Hands on Weapon (-5), Weapon (-5) Is this correct, and if yes, would that mean that it would do x3 damage? If not, what did I do wrong?

The Hard Copy Book
I got mine, today. I just fetched it from my mailbox.
I have to say, it's smaller than I expected. But it's cool, and it looks (so far) exactly like the PDF.

OK, let's see if I can understand it. A fantasy cloak stolen from a recent anime. Salamander Wool This cloak is designed to resist fire based attacks. It's rather heavy and scratchy but it's also very effective. Gear +2 Resistance: Fire +3 Bizarre Appearance -1 (It's got only one colour, and it pret...
