I just noticed something. None of the characters in the entire book has the Gear Ability, including the NPC Fragments. Even the characters that should have something: Raine, Auren, Natsuki, Ancel, Karis, Saspar...
So it brings up my question of: Why is it even there?

Re: School Drama Mechanic: Anxiety
I don't know about this. It seems a little too neurotic, for even anime standards...
But at the end of the day, if this does your gaming group, more power to you.

Re: Quick Reference Page
Technically speaking, not making money doesn’t change whether something is copyright infringement or not. (If that were the case, no one would have a problem with internet piracy, which...um...they do.) Only because they made it into an issue. Because what one corporations 'piracy' is another city'...

Re: Gear and Attack
The main reason Vehicle doubles points is because, by and large, it’s a completely separate part of the adventure. If a vehicle is the focus, odds are either A) everyone has their own vehicle or B) everyone is in the same vehicle. In either case, the double points are not unbalancing because becaus...

Re: Sniffycrab's Bizarre Bazaar
Chakram vary in size from palm size to a full foot around, but they're pretty much throwing stars or sharpened frisbees. The Urumi is a weapon that requires great skill, because you can literally cut yourself when using it and if not outright lethal, can have you bleed out. Also, Ivy Valentine's wea...

Re: Tips for my setting?
A suggestion, roll on that table only when the player takes a total of at least half their health in a single blow? Otherwise, you might end up with a 'death spiral' and that's never fun (well, OK, some people are OK with it. Hopefully your guys/gals are.)

Re: Tips for my setting?
First off, it's actually pretty simple. There are plenty of anime that do this. First, the hindrances you can actually use for the various stages of health in the basic rules section. You can mimic Stunned for example by claiming there's blood in the eyes, meaning your trying to clear your vision, ...

If the person is promoting bad information about your game, then he's hurting your sales of the game, depending on how many people believe him.

Re: Gear and Attack
In all fairness, a Vehicle/Mecha can be destroyed . So can gear, and unlike Vehicles, there's a better chance it'll get murdered in one attack. And worse, vehicles are harder to take away from the character than a sword, or even a suit of armour. Most vehicles have security features, like door lock...

Re: Gear and Attack
You can argue that losing a vehicle or mecha doesn't happen enough to be worth double points either though. Some damage, yes, but complete removal? No. In fact, it works even better than armour, because the character can't get harmed until the Vehicle is brought to 0 Health. Gear is my big bug bear ...

Re: Gear and Attack
You grab someone's 'Gear' and take it away, that's a pretty big disadvantage. They lose whatever abilities they've tied into it.

Re: Gear and Attack
The big caveat is that Gear can be taken from you and used by someone else.
Thing is, I think it should work like Mecha/Vehicle in which it gives you double the points you invest in it for attributes.
Which leaves Focus as the odd man out.
