One more thing concerning "Abilites & Weaknesses": The entry for Quick & Slow should mention that these stats are added to Initiative, so players do not have to look it up in the Combat chapter.

It's amazing how many people you can get to proofread a game and how many mistakes remain. ^_^; Yes, quite so :) All of your assumptions are correct, and they will be added to the next file revision. (I may wait a while...I think RPGnow, and maybe even my customers, may tire of me being so "on...

I see your point. The original intent was a "total" of all damage bonuses, but it does seem awkward in certain situations. I think you might have an easier time if you do what I do and call it "DT" ^^ It actually helps :) There actually was a "Degree of Success" table,...

One thing I am concerned about is how Power Move explains your Damage Total. The intent was that the Power Move DT is NOT added to one. I'm afraid, however, this is not made clear. How did you interpret it? Well, that was actually the part I didn't have any problems with :) From first reading about...

Though, I will not be adding many rules to OVA Mecha. There will be a tactical rule system and scale rules. Mecha will be made pretty much the same way characters are. That are the three things that came as well to my mind: - A system for battle between two or more Mechas - Rules concerning how to ...

In the text of any appropriate Abilities, it mentions if it can be added to an attack or defense roll. The reason it's never specifically stated what is included and what is not is because I wanted to leave it open for GM interpretation. For example, I wanted the GM to use Weapon: Gun as a Knowledg...

OK, I finally get it... You're right, Shapechange is mentioned under finishing touches, although it is never explained why Fukiko's player takes it. It's a bit strange to put the selection of additional attributes for her and her companion in the example under "Finishing touches" where I'd...

Damage Total

Is it just me, or has anyone else stumbled over the term "Damage Total"? When I first skimmed through the rules I thought that this refers to the total damage dealt in an attack. Only during the second reading of the rules I understood that total damage dealt = Damage Total x (attack roll ...

Being a role player for a long time and having only recently been converted to an anime fan, I'd stick with Andrea and prefer fantasy. (But it goes without mentioning, that I'd buy both, as soon as they come out, if they have the same high production quality as the main rule book :wink: ). On the ot...

Strong-Will -> Willpower

On p. 72 under "Will Attack" there is an ability called "Strong Will" mentioned. I suppose this should rather be "Willpower" which seems to have been renamed at some time. On p. 56 under "Willpower" "Strong-Will" is mentioned as well: "You can a...

Power Moves

A question concerning the working of Power Moves: As far as I understand it, the level of Power Moves is not added to the attack roll, but only affects the damage? In the example on p. 80 Raine attacks with his Power Move "Raging Thunder" and rolls 7 dice. Unfortunately, these are not expl...

Fukiko

When I looked over the sample character Fukiko I was wondering why she has Shapechange +2 & Transformation +4. Both are mentioned on p. 32: "She can also use this power to simply change her appearance. She cannot use this Shape Change ability and the Transformation power simultaneously"...

A couple of comments on the "Abilities & Weaknesses

Finally printed my copy of OVA and started to read it. Here are some comments on chapter IV: Mix-up of ability "Vitality" with stat "Endurance"? - Flunkies (p. 46): "Each of these allies have 10 Health and Vitality, ..." - Languorous (p.63): "For each level in Lang...
