Other ideas for handling this can be found in this thread: http://wiseturtle.razornetwork.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=12413 including my own take on the idea, which I'll quote here: Another idea that lines up with the current healing rules, create a new ability: Regeneration: For each Level in this ...

Thanks, Bloba. One can never have too many random generators!

Thanks for the lengthy post, Slash. That's some very good advice!

Somehow half the OVA campaigns I read about turn into similar outlandish bouts of insanity.

...which is exactly as things should be.

For Weaknesses, I've always had a soft-spot for Naive and Kind-Hearted just because I really like the examples I wrote for them. :D Ability is tough, but I'd have to settle with Attack. I'm just immensely happy with how it turned out and how flexible it is for handling the sort of cinematic fisticuf...

In the context of OVA, a lot of the truly superhuman permutations of human ability (that is, Superman-like strength or Flash-like speed) should be handled with the Scale rules. That is, the Flash is on an even playing field with jet planes, not mere humans. The rules tend to make Scale a "free&...

Another avenue for something like this is to take Transformation and use Human Arsenal (rename it something fanciful like "Hundred Spirits" or whatever) to allow you to create any number of permutations you want. In this way, you can define more exactly what each animal can and can't do.

Maybe one day! Time is always at a premium.

That's pretty impressive! It took a lot of effort to recreate the layout of the actual book. I wish they spoke English so they could drop by the forums and share more about their game.

Debatably "Affinity" is already a zero-cost Perk that can add some fiery effects to an Attack. If you mean like giving an "Effective" or something to that effect for free, I don't see an issue as long as all the players are getting similar bonuses—and that you aren't afraid to gi...

The game assumes most characters are going to have +1 Attack or a similar Ability if you plan on doing any fighting worthy of a Perk or Flaw. But it is a small loophole that, as written, without one these Perks have no effect.

Please assume they last one round at minimum.

I had the rudiments of a tactical add-on for OVA , using a grid-based map and a few Final Fantasy Tactics -style Perks and Flaws. In fact, the Strike-Through Perk in Revised OVA is a result of that. I would probably make movement something like this: Slow -3 or -2: 1 Square Slow -1 or Nothing: 2 Squ...

This might be going a little bit outside the box, but you could use Barrier to achieve this effect by giving it Effective. I realize Barrier calls to mind energy fields and the like, but there's no reason it can't be much less flashy and just represent the defender's skin/blood.

You may want to take a look at "Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in the Dungeon?" It features a similar premise with adventurers gaining favors by making contracts with gods and goddesses and might give you a few ideas of how to apply the idea in a prototypical "anime" way.

By all means, go for it!

I messed around with Amino years ago, but didn't find many people interested in RPGs. I think it would be pretty cool to see OVA there!

I think I still have an account somewhere...
