Roll to Random

Roll To Random

A Fantasy Based Randomly Generated Roll to Dodge based around generators from ChaoticShiny.com.


I posted about this a little bit ago in the Roller's Block thread and have decided to make the thread. The general idea, is that almost everything is randomly generated, from weapons to characters to locations. But, I've decided that Players will have the option to create their own sheet or they can have it randomly generated if they want to mix things up. There will be an overarching plot, but it will be generated randomly with tweaking as necessary to ensure it is interesting.

Information
Most rolls will be done with a d6 using standard RTD rules.
Traits can be earned and can be both positive or negative.
There will be a character limit of 6 players, this may or may not change.
Some rolls will be hidden, for the sake of keeping the player unware of things they would not... be aware of.

Wounding/Combat
Combat and Wounding will be based around Hit Points.
The dice rolls for damage will depend on equipment.
It will be conducted in two phases, first, the defender has an opportunity to dodge, if this fails, damage will be inflicted
A roll of the maximum for that weapon or above will result in a critical hit, which will either be temporary or permanent decided with a coin flip. (by me)
Certain factors can result in a reduction in the roll, such as, on the ground, stunned, and other potential status effects inflicted by your foes.

I think that's really all that the players need to know.

Here's a character sheet for those who do not want a random character:
Name:
Race:
Gender:
Traits: Keep it balanced, something more interesting than a +1 to a certain kind of roll is preferred but not required.
(Optional)
Appearance:
Age:
Backstory:

The kitchenette mold free, you move on to the pantry. it's nasty in there. The bacon is grazing on the lettuce. The ham is having an illicit affair with the prime rib, The potatoes see all, know all. A rat in boxer shorts smoking a foul smelling cigar is banging on a cabinet shouting about rent money.

Alright, I'll get the characters up soon. They will not be assigned, so claim the one you want as fast as possible.
