- To join:
- Read system description, it contains guidelines of character creation.
- Make a post in the thread with subject "Character" that contains your innawoods loadout and character stats in this format:
- Name: (Character Name)
- Position: (What position you want to take in existing squad, you may only take positions that are OPEN, or you may remain as a Free Operator)
- Theme: Description of your character, how they act and Operate
- HP: 10 (Basic HP amount)
- XP: (New characters do not start with extra XP)
- DR: Damage Reduction amount, only viable if you have armor worn.
- Skill 1:
- Skill 2:
- Skill 3, etc
- Character creation:
- 10 HP TO START
- HEALTH IS CURRENTLY CAPPED AT 30.
- SKILLS ARE CURRENTLY CAPPED AT EXPERT.
- ARMOR SYSTEM
- -Vests provide 1 Armor, called DR (Damage Reduction), but have no penalty to movement/dodge/evasion rolls. Bulk Suits provide 2 Armor, and have a penalty of -1 to above rolls. Armor = flat Damage Reduction. Operators may negate the penalty of bulk suits using 2XP. Unique armor may confer other bonuses or negatives.
- -How Armor works: OperatorA rolls a 3 using a Shotgun (+2DMG) vs OperatorB wearing a Suit, OperatorB takes 1 damage due to 2 damage being reduced via 2 Armor.
- -PLEASE INDICATE <Vest, <Suit, or <Unarmored at the end of your post!
- -If you DO NOT have armor equipped, you may add a +1 to your movement/evasion/dodge rolls, for example:
- [1d6+1] <Unarmored Dodge
- [1d6] <Vest Dodge
- [1d6-1] <Suit Dodge
- CHARACTER UPGRADES:
- XP
- -You have 5 XP, basically skill points, available when you begin your character, and all Operators start with 10HP. That means you can take 5 Basic skills, or 4 Basic and add +2HP for a total of 12HP, or take 1 Basic with 1 Expert, and +2HP, OR ANY OTHER COMBINATION THAT MAKES SENSE. NO, YOU MAY NOT START WITH LESS THAN 10HP.
- HP: from 10-20HP, you may spend 1XP to gain +2HP. From 20-30HP, you may spend 5XP to gain +2HP. Kraut's excellent cooking has had great effect on the Operators as a whole, allowing them increased resilience to harm. (CURRENTLY LOCKED: from 30-40HP, you may spend 10XP to gain +2HP.)
- SKILLS: Basic skills cost 1XP apiece. you may purchase Expert rank skill upgrades for an additional 2XP per skill, and Master rank for 10XP. (CURRENTLY LOCKED: Grandmaster rank: 20XP.) You may NOT start a Basic skill and upgrade it in or after the same Operation! That is, you may only advance your skills ONE rank per Operation, even if you do not take part in that Operation. You may only have 1 Grandmaster ranked skill overall.
- -Skills are currently capped at 12, that is, you may have a total MAXIMUM of 12, which includes a maximum of 3 UNIQUE skills for now. Grandmaster skills are locked off at current.
- NOTABLE SKILLS - there are several skills that you should take note of:
- -Stealth: stealth works differently in this world. The Operators have slowly been infused with minor amounts of strange and unknown energies, often rendering their sounds unheard and their movements unseen, rather than requiring solely camouflage as they would on their own worlds. once you roll a 6, or other critical, you can ONLY be noticed with a Perception roll of the same, or higher. Once you roll a 6 or max critical, you do not need to re-Stealth unless taking an action that would break it, such as attacking or healing someone. If Stealthed on a critical, you do not need to re-Stealth after speaking quietly to someone within a very short range. You do not need to roll for Stealth again if you are ONLY taking minor actions, thus if you roll a 6 or other max critical DO NOT RESTEALTH EVERY ROUND as the 6 takes priority, unless you attack or heal someone. You DO NOT need to restealth if you are placing a trap or setting up an Ambush.
- -Ambush: if you have Basic Ambush, you may stack up to 2 critical Ambush rolls for 2 extra attacks upon entering combat, indicated by using extra dice rolls for melee/ranged/unique abilities, such as: 1d6 <Melee Ambush. Expert = 3, Master/Grandmaster =4. What this means is that once you enter combat, you MUST use up those saved up Ambush criticals for extra attacks on your opening turn. You may not use Ambush for the rest of that Operation, or until combat clears and you continue on. You may only add bonuses for your extra Ambush rolls if you have enchanted melee weapons/ammunition or if your skill has +X modifiers. Once you use up stored Ambush points, they are gone, so plan wisely. When rolling more than regular dice, you MUST hit at least 6 on your roll, thus: If you have 1d6+1 <Ambush, you must roll a 6 or higher to stack an Ambush point. ANY offensive action counts as being able to use up your Ambush points. If you DO NOT use your Ambush points on your opening turn, you may not use them afterwards.
- -Medical: whether Untrained, Basic, Expert, or Master, Basic Medical is always used in addition to Medical Pouches or EM (Emergency Medical) Bags. Operators are to ALWAYS combine their Medical skill along with any items they use, or attempt to use Medic regardless.
- Items used:
- -Green Pouch/Bandages/Ringer's Solution(IV) - Untrained: make a 1d6-3 roll. Basic: make a 1d6-2 roll. Expert: make a 1d6-1 roll. Master: make a 1d6 roll. Result is amount of HP restored. 2 uses per Green Pouch, 1 use per other items. Morphine simply allows you to act normally in Critically Wounded status for 4 turns. THESE ARE ADDED IN ADDITION TO YOUR MEDICAL SKILL!
- -EMS (Emergency Medical Support) Bag - Untrained: Make a 1d6-2 roll. Basic: Make 2x 1d6-1 rolls. Expert: Make 3x 1d6 rolls. Master: Make 4x 1d6+1 rolls. 5 uses, forces to skip next turn. Result is amount of HP restored. THIS IS ADDED IN ADDITION TO YOUR MEDICAL SKILL!
- Engineering: often used in creating new items, converting older ones, or repairing damaged equipment. Can be used to set traps, build slot specific gear, or modify the same. Can be used in conjunction with tools or alone.
- -Multitool/single tool and/or single items - Expert: +1 to success, Master: +2 to success.
- -Toolbox/Multiple tools and/or multiple items - Basic: +1 to success, Expert: +3 to success, Master: +5 to success. Forces Operator to skip their next turn.
- HOUSE RULES:
- -1 Movement or Dodge/Evasion/Block [1d6] action, and then your character's uses of Attack/Medical/Weapon/Unique Skills
- -Absolute MAXIMUM of 6 Operators in ANY Operation, not including a Companion NPC (DM controlled)
- -Only those IN THE OPERATION may host a group Skype call hosted by the DM to prevent disasters
- -The DM WILL NOT push back times for an Operation, as Operators need to sleep! if you miss an Operation, then request in on the next Operation.
- -You may NOT change your innawoods loadout unless otherwise specified. What an Operator brings with them is all they have, so keep track of items used.
- Hosting a Campaign:
- -A DM, at any time, may offer to host a campaign. It is up to the DM to write the campaign, and direct the participating squad(s) through the DM's story.
- -Once a DM has stated that he is willing to host a campaign he will state basic information such as difficulty, the number of squads needed, and a brief description of the situation. Writing is freeform, so work hard on your scenarios and take the time to refine and work on the details if you must. This shouldn't suggest that all campaigns need to be epic-tier writing, but please try to be descriptive and informative.
- -Once a DM has announced a Campaign, it is up to the Operators to offer to take the job. The Operators will then deliberate upon whom will be selected to embark on that campaign WITHOUT THE DM'S INFLUENCE, or the DM may ask for individuals to roll for the opportunity if the Operators cannot agree upon whom will go.
- -Element Commanders may accompany their respective elements on a campaign, but may not go over the max of Operators allowed.
- -Campaign starts with DM making an announcement post with details, possible limitations (like limitations on gear), number of squads he needs and similar things. Campaign is played in turns which are started and ended by DM. RULE #1: ONLY -ONE- OPERATOR POST PER DM POST, DO NOT GO OVER THIS UNLESS TOLD OTHERWISE! RULE #2: IF THE DM POSTS 1/2 IN THE SUBJECT BOX OR AT THE BOTTOM OF THEIR POST, WAIT FOR 2/2 TO APPEAR, THEN POST, TO PREVENT CONFUSION AND ALLOW DM TO CATCH UP!
- -Players are limited with ONE In-Character response (includes actions, dice rolls, & dialogue) per turn. After players have posted their actions, DM makes a response with reactions and descriptions of what happened after player influenced something. If the action that player attempts to perform has possibility of failing, he has to roll a 1d6 (with additional dice rolls if any) to determine the result of his attempt.
- Examples:
- -Attacking a target in melee or ranged combat
- -Disarming a bomb or placing/throwing explosives
- -Healing wounds
- -Intimidating
- -Negotiating
- -You have a -FREE- MOVEMENT/DODGE/BLOCK/EVASION roll as well as your COMBAT/MEDICAL/WEAPON/UNIQUE SKILL ROLLS. At the start of your next turn, once DM has posted what occurs on the last one, you may use a single [1d6] to prevent damage to yourself, and then use your action rolls. However, you may only dodge and switch weapons if you have a battle/sniper rifle/DMR, as they are NOT close ranged weapons.
- ROLLING DICE
- If you are untrained in a particular skill, you roll [1d6]
- Basic skills allow you to roll [1d6] [1d6]
- Expert skills allow you to roll [1d6] [1d6] [1d6]
- Master skills allow you to roll [1d6] [1d6] [1d6] [1d6]
- -NOT ALLOWED YET: Grandmaster skills allow you to roll [1d6+1] [1d6+1] [1d6+1] [1d6+1] - the +1 for a Grandmaster skill is added on top of any other +X bonuses an Operator would normally roll. An Operator may ONLY have 1 Grandmaster skill.
- Example text of an Operator using his free Evasion roll and Basic Small Arms at point blank range with untrained Suit armor:
- >The damned spider was hard to hit, and seemed about as sturdy as my trauma plate. I was getting tired, but it couldn't be helped. Performing a rather shallow combat roll under it, I was greeted with yet another frantic hammering as it's sharpened legs partially pierce the plate on my chest.
- [1d6-1] <Suit Evade
- >Jacking the revolver into my hand, I took aim at it's disgustingly bright yellow body and squeeze the trigger twice because, let's face it, at this range how can I miss?
- [1d6+1] <Small Arms
- [1d6+1]
- Damage bonuses of weapons:
- -A NOTE BEFORE YOU READ: if you do not even have Basic skill with PARTICULAR RANGED WEAPONS, you will roll at -1 penalty. If attempting to use an LMG/HMG, you will roll at -2 penalty. In short you will roll: 1d6-1 or 1d6-2 for LMG/HMG to compensate for it. You may NOT combine long ranged AND melee skills in the same turn. You MAY, however, use a SINGLE pistol/revolver/SMG attack and SINGLE melee attack in the same turn, but you WILL lose the bonus attacks from your pistol/revolver/SMG. This may NOT be used as a charging attack. You may NOT use shotguns/combat rifles in such a manner.
- -Tazer: 1 damage, flat. This weapon must be reloaded after every shot. Your movement/evasion/dodge/block roll may be utilized to reload instead. This means upon attacking you will only cause 1 damage, and a stun if the roll is high enough. Your roll is ONLY TO DETERMINE the stun effect! A roll of 1 or 2 means the opponent has resisted it's effects. A roll of 3 or 4: 1 round stun, 5: 2 rounds, 6: 3 rounds. This may not work on bosses or other special creatures indicated by the DM. After being stunned, the target may not be stunned for the next 3 turns.
- -Crossbow: +2 damage, but must reload after every shot. Your movement/evasion/dodge/block roll may be utilized to reload instead. Upon encountering a heavily armored target, you may want to switch weapons instead, as crossbow bolts are quite rare and limited in number that an Operator can carry.
- -Pistols and SMG's (4.6mm, 5.7mm, 9x17, 9x19, .357, .410, .45ACP, etc) - +1 Damage
- -Combat Rifles and Shotguns (5.45x39, 5.56, 7.62x39, 9x39, 12 Gauge, etc) - +2 damage, however, if you are using a shotgun at a range determined to be too far, you must use -1 to your ranged rolls.
- -Battle/Sniper rifles, DMR (7.62x51, 7.62x54, .300, .338, .50 BMG etc) - +3 damage, Recoil applies penalty of -1 on next shooting roll. You may skip a turn to steady your aim and take a shot next turn with bonus of +5 on your first dice roll. Cannot fire and move, then steady, or move and fire, then steady. The Operator MUST remain motionless or will not be able to steady their aim. On roll of 6 and greater adds penalty of -1 to the targeted enemy the next turn, ONLY if you do not switch targets.
- -LMG's and HMG's (7.62x51, 7.62x54) - +3 damage, can fire after moving/dodging/evading with penalty of -1 on shooting roll. On roll of 6 and greater adds penalty of -1 to enemy troops near the target for 1 turn.
- -M134: +4 damage. Cannot attempt to move/dodge/evade and fire in the same turn. An Operator using this weapon may only BLOCK damage done to him. On a roll of 6 or greater adds penalty of -1 to enemies near the target for 1 turn. Can fire at up to 3 targets close together with no penalties.
- -POINT BLANK RANGE: if you are at immediate point blank range, and have not swapped your weapons, then you may perform a point blank shot by adding +1 at the end of all your firearm rolls ONLY. After that you should switch to Melee or be overwhelmed.
- -^SHOTGUN USERS TAKE NOTICE: if you are using a shotgun at point blank/melee range, you must now add +2 to the end of your shotgun rolls.
- -Melee (Knives, swords, axes, shovels, etc.) - Gives a 1d6+1 roll for being in close range or charging, indicated by: <Close Range Melee or <Charge (ONLY if moved in the direction of the enemy before attacking). NOTE: when attacked while in Melee range, you will use ALL your melee rolls to attempt to counter and riposte damage done towards you. If your result is higher, then you deal ALL damage leftover to the target, mitigated by target's DR/remaining evasion/block tallies.
- Example:
- [1d6+1] <Charging
- [1d6] <Basic Melee
- [1d6]
- OR
- [1d6+1] <Close range Melee
- [1d6] <Basic Melee
- [1d6]
- Explosives: can be thrown either by using Melee or Explosives skill, whichever is highest.
- -When setting UP a trap using explosives and Engineering items (Duct Tape, Superglue, Rope, etc.), combine both Engineering (if tools are used) and Explosives skills.
- -When setting OFF a trap, roll the highest of Engineering (with tools that were used) or Explosives.
- -Smoke Grenade: lowers Perception checks by -3 to all those in it's radius. Dissipates in 1-4 turns, depending on conditions.
- -Flash Bang: disallows Perception checks and Stuns for 2-3 turns depending on conditions.
- -Tear Gas: deals a flat 1 damage. Deploys a chemical that causes the eyes to sting and skin to feel as if it is on fire to enemies and allies in it's radius, lowering Perception checks by -3. Dissipates in 1-4 turns depending on conditions.
- -Poison Gas: deals a flat 2 damage per turn in the cloud. Any number of toxins or nerve agents designed to kill living beings. Depending on conditions, may kill an enemy/ally in close range whom does not move out of the cloud immediately.
- -Molotov: +1 damage. Any number of flammable liquids in a glass bottle or jar, lit via cloth. Enough flammable material to continuously burn an Operator sized enemy for 2 turns. Causes 1 burn damage per turn for 2 turns.
- -White Phosphorous: +2 damage. Covers a moderate area in 4+,000 degree white phosphorous, causing excruciating burns and blinding those nearby. Causes 4 burn damage per turn for 2 turns.
- -Shrapnel: +3 damage. Inflicts a 1 round stun if an enemy/ally is in the epicenter or within close range. Inflicts Bleeding status.
- -Grenades, thrown M67 or weapon fired/mounted: +4 damage. Moderate detonation and scattered shrapnel causes damage in a relatively small area to enemies and allies. Inflicts a 1 round stun if an enemy/ally is in the epicenter or within close range.
- -High Explosive (HE) Grenade: +6 damage. A much more powerful version of the typical F1 'Pineapple' fragmentation grenade. Inflicts a 2 round stun if an enemy/ally is in the epicenter or within close range.
- -C-4: +6 damage. Small, localized explosive with great power and a large number of options to set it off. Can be hidden and deployed in any number of manners. Inflicts a 1 round stun if an enemy/ally is in the epicenter or within close range. May inflict Bleeding status with multiple criticals.
- -Bombshell: +10 damage. A large artillery shell, rigged to detonate. Has a massive radius, inflicts a 2 round stun and Bleeding status. May shock enemies and allies with a critical detonation.
