Welcome to Gaia! ::

Stat Explanations:

Starting stats: 2d4 each. If your total doesn't add up to 16 or greater, then you may reroll everything.

Strength: For each point of strength, add +1 to damage. For every 3 points, add a +1 bonus to accuracy. For every 10 points, add +1 action point.

Dexterity:
-Light Armor: For every 2 points of Dex, add +1 to AC. For every 7 points, add 1 action point. For every unused action during an opponent's turn, add +.15 to AC for dodging per point of dexterity.
-Medium Armor: For every 3 points of Dex, add +1 to AC. For every 10 points, add 1 action point. For every unused action during an opponent's turn, add +.1 to AC for dodging per point of dexterity.
-Heavy Armor: No bonuses, but when you're so well armored, who needs speed?

Constitution: For each point of constitution, add 2 HP. For every 3 points of constitution, add a +1 bonus against attacks that would cause you to be pushed back or knocked down. For every 10 points, gain +1 damage reduction.

Intelligence: For each point of intelligence, add 1 MP for mages. For every 2 points of Int, add 1 MP for spies. For every 3 points of Int, add +1 accuracy for guns for outcasts and spies. For every 4 points of Int, add +1 device for spies or +1 MP for Knights.

Intelligence also affects what the character sees or thinks of, ex: you are a spy, and you and your party are fighting in an underground bunker with some bandits. As your friends fight it out, you notice a lightswitch. You whisper for your mage, who is casting outside of the fray, to hit it as you put on your nightvision goggles. As soon as he does this, you stab your opponents in the back and leave them bleeding on the floor. In a nutshell: if your character has a high Int, the DM will give them more options.

If the stats aren't balanced, they can be adjusted later.

Classes:

Knight: These are fighters who use blades and wear armor. They can learn magic... a little. Rules concerning armor, dual-wielding, shields, two-handed weapons, and any other combat aspect will be outlined later.

Spy: These are Dexterity-based fighters, usually using light, concealable weapons and light armor. They are the only class that can use devices, and have an understanding of magic between Knights and Mages. Can only use small weapons like daggers and pistols (aquired illegally.) Can only wear light armor.

Mages: There are 3 types of mages: [White], [Red], and [Black]. [White] can use protection and healing magic. [Red] use chaos magic. [Black] use shadow and death magic. All mages can wield amulets. In addition, [Black] mages can wield scythes, [Red] mages can wield crozii (I think that's the plural form of crozius), and [white] mages can wield simple staves. Light armor gives a 20% spell fail chance, medium armor gives a 40% spell fail chance, and heavy armor gives a 60% spell fail chance.

Outcast: These are bandits working for the Underground. They can wear light or medium armor. They are the only class that actively wields guns, and can wield guns, blades, gunblades, guns with bayonnets, or any combination of guns and blades you can think of. Dex and Int based fighters, usually using their environment to their advantage.

Priest [NPC]: Mages of [the Empire]. Use light magic (blinding and burning). Rules for mages apply. The Empire also uses Knights, Spies, and Police, the equivalent of Outlaws.

Spells/Special Actions system.

Just like players can create their own attacks, players create their own spells and choose their own special actions. Here's how it works:

For spells, if a player wants to do a certain thing with their magic, they'll tell the DM what they want to do and then the DM will set a number of MP, actions required, and the damage/effectiveness. Then, as the player casts the spell more and more, it will level up, becoming more powerful. This allows for creativity and experimentation.

Example: A Red Mage decides he wants to cast a spell that sends forth a beam of chaos that will damage its foe. The DM assigns a number of MP required (let's say... 1), a number of action points (1), and assigns its effectiveness (1d3 damage). After a player successfully casts this spell 10 times, it levels up to require 2 MP, 1 AP, and do 1d3+2 damage. After 20 more times, it levels up again and requires 3 MP, 1 AP, and does 1d4+4 damage.

Then, if a player wants to implement this spell to influence objects, say... to shoot the ceiling and cause it to collapse upon a foe, then this would become a new spell, that influences objects instead of enemies. It would start out requiring 1 MP, 1 AP, and have a DC for the desired effect. As it leveled up, it could be used on more objects and in more ways with more chances of success.

A similar principle applies to actions. If a character, say, wants to do a wall run, then the DM would assign requirements for doing this (only light armor with a one-handed weapon or a gun that can be held easily in one hand, whether you can fire it with 1 hand or not). Then the DM would assign an AP requirement (2), and a chance of success. As the player did this more and more, the chance of success would increase, and eventually it would only take 1 AP.

Then if a player wants to, say, push off the wall at the end of the run, do a flip for dramatic effect, fire while he's upside down above his opponent, and land on the other side of his opponent, this would take an additional 2 AP (3 if aiming is involved, though at really close range, it would not give that much more of a chance of success, though it would give a much better chance of hitting the head as opposed to the shoulders or other body parts) and have a chance of success for the push and flip, and for the landing. Then, if a player succeeds at the push enough times, the chance of success becomes better, and the more a player lands on his/her feet in any situation, the better the chance to land on his/her feet in this scenario becomes.

This principle also applies to special attacks, such as an attack directed at pushing or tripping your opponent.

All of this provides low-level players to improvise and use their character's (and their own) intelligence to give them an edge, and it gives high-level characters the ability to do crazy Matrix-style battles that would be really cool to imagine.

Armor

Each class can have 2 layers of armor, which differ accordingly for each class. If 2 types of armor from different armor types are used (ex: 1 light and 1 medium), then the armor is treated as the heavier armor type. A good example of 2 layers of armor would be for an Outcast:

Inner Layer: Mesh Armor (Light)
Outer Layer: Overcoat (Light)

Armor Stats:

AC:

Strength Requirement:
Other:

The strength requirements do stack, so the Outcast mentioned earlier would need to have enough strength to carry the combined total of both layers of armor. Furthermore, it also stacks with weapons and equipment, requiring the player to choose wisely what he wields.

The concept definitely sounds pretty cool. I'm interested in seeing some more info about it. Are you planning on writing any background to the story, or is it just play-by-ear?
