I wasn't sure on what to use for rolling. I was thinking either the system Flabort proposed (which has the problem of all the [fairly simple] math involved) or using stats as flat bonuses and using a d100 or d50.

One example of what you could do with a d100. And one person who liked the idea.

So basically with that system you put in points to increase the roll number you need to go under to beat the roll and when they reach fifty for that number they can roll twice should they fail the first roll and when they get to fify in that they get another chance and so on?

Basically, every X points is another chance, but with diminishing returns in between.

Yeah, my only problem would be the math and weal characters would be at low numbers.

I would suggest stats as flat bonuses, if only because that's what is mostly used, and as such what most are familiar with. And the die is up to you, depends on personal preferences and what you want to be the highest roll possible to be.

[kj1225]

There is another system I know where the stats actually act as the die.

[BlitzDungeoneer]

I think you're referring to Cortex, though I am not sure as I'm only passingly familiar with that system.

[kj1225]

I have no idea what you're talking about. I just know a system that works like that.

[BlitzDungeoneer]

Cortex. It's a system in which, from what I've read, stats and skills are represented as dice, namely the amount you get to roll.

[kj1225]

Well, it's the first time I've heard of it.

I'm pretty sure Cortex different sized dice for stats. What you're describing sounds more like a dice pool, which are used in several different systems.

[kj1225]

Kind of like that but it's the actual number of the stat that makes the die.
So, someone with a 19 in a stat rolls a d19 for it.

Link to OOC.

hm maybe fate although i think that stats in that determine how many die you role and it dosent use a d6 anyway (well it uses a cube but not with numbers)

[Kadzar]

In Fate you always roll exactly four Fate dice for every action. And, yeah, a Fate die is just a cube with pluses, minuses, and blank faces, which you add up all together to get your die total.

Okay, so random idea for a game that's totally for fun.

Basically the players are toys that come to life at night. (Life is relative as it's more every night the toys are put onto a battle field that is randomly determined and have to fight nightmares.) During the day they get played with and subsequently have bonuses applied to them by the GM or preferably the GM's son/daughter/younger sibling/eccentric fiance. I'm talking full on kid mode. Maybe the toy has some wings attached with super glue so now they fly or they have a plasma rifle in the form of a screw, I'm talking full on child like imagination mode. Barbie with a super plasma hair dryer? Do it. GI Joe riding a dinosaur? Of course. Steve? clad in full diamond armor riding a creeper into battle with his wolf and Captain America as back up? FUCKING DO IT! No rolls, no system, just the GM to decide who wins in this battle of nightmares and legends!

what would be a way i could start an angry mob to chase my players without getting in trouble for being inflammatory? because i really dont want to risk a permaban over something as minor as why the mob is chasing somebody

[kj1225]

Make up some obscure custom that they broke. But make sure you give them a chance to have a choice in breaking it. Say, have someone approach them and ask them to do something that they wouldn't do normally. Then if they say no let them wander around a bit before sending the mob.
