STATS AND BASE STATS:

 

 

HP - your hit points, lowers when you take damage and recovers when you recieve healing (magical or otherwise), you're knocked unconcious.

 

PP - your psynergy (psychic energy) points, reduced when you cast various psynergies, recovered between battles and completely replenished with an extended rest.

 

STR - your physical strength, affects your damage dealt with physical attacks.

 

DEF - the combination of several factors, such as your character's armor, reflexes, and combat training and experience. affects how much damage you take from physical attacks.

 

AGI - your character's quickness of thinking and action, affects your initiative and movement speed in combat.

 

SOC - your character's force of personality, looks, silver tongue and so on. affects various social interactions (intimidation, gathering information, etc.). most "social checks" are made via rolling your SOC pool against whomever youre speaking with's.

 

AFF - Elemental affinity, affects the power of your psynergies with that specific element. unless specifically noted, the base stat listed applies only to your attuned element (djinn modify this).

        *venus - the element of earth, plants, and stone.

        *mars - the element of fire, heat, and destruction.

        *mercury - the element of water, ice, and healing.

        *jupiter - the element of wind and the mind.

 

RES - Elemental Resistance, affects how much damage you take from psynergy attacks. unless specifically noted, the base stat applies to all resistances (modified by your attuned element and opposed element, see below).

        *venus

COMBAT:

the basic formula for combat is thus:

 

-Determine initiative (AGI vs AGI)

-Make Actions (you may move and take one other action--including another move--in a turn)

        -Move  

        -Attack (Attack: STR + Wpn vs DEF + Amr, Psynergy: AFF vs RES)

                -Apply unblocked successes to HP as damage.

        -Unleash or Set a Djinn (effects vary)

                -Apply djinn unleash effect(s), unset the djinn for that encounter (adjust stats/class/tier accordingly until re-set).

        -Use items

 

 

 

GEAR AND PSYNERGY:

Weapons add bonuses, but they dont add to your pool as dice--theyre added after your roll as a flat bonus to the damage total before being applied to the enemy defense.

Likewise with armor, the bonus is applied to your DEF roll total beofe the

 

gear is separated (rather arbitrarily, mind you) into three general categories: Warrior, Neutral and Mage.

 

Warrior weapons and heavy armor - generally have higher STR and DEF bonuses, with small RES bonuses.

Neutral weapons and neutral armor - fairly balanced (if unimpressive in any particular category) equipment equippable by any class.

Mage weapons and robes - generally have higher AFF and RES bonuses, with small DEF bonuses.

 

 

Psynergy functions similarly to weapons in that they give automatic successes equal to their modifier, but their modifiers are a bit higher (to compensate them being tied to a limited resource).

As your class and level change and advance, you may automatically gain new psynergies or more powerful permutations of existing psynergy you know, instead of worrying about buying them.

 

 

 

DJINN AND POWER TIERS:

Djinn, when acquired, can be 'Set' to a character to confer bonuses to stats, change their class, and increase their power tier.

All equipped djinn increase AFF and RES for the djinn's element by +1, as well as whatever other bonus they confer individually.

 

When you have enough djinn set to a character to meet a new power tier (0, 3, 6, and 9 djinn set), you gain a +1 bonus to all stats (HP and PP increase by 10 instead. these tier bonuses stack with each other), as well as an upgrade in the dice your pool uses (d6/d8/d10/d12)
