We should do a sample fight and see how it works.

I'm confused about how the system is supposed to work.

To start, when you attack, does the attack roll need to exceed the target's defense or his defense roll? When you hit, how is damage determined exactly? And how does this system work for non-combat actions?
...The exact same as the system now? Everything's just been split up, so the one skill that rules them all isn't so OP.
Right now, damage is determined by rolling a dSomething, adding and subtracting numbers that depend on the GM, and hoping the result isn't horribly unbalanced.
Which is why we're still refining the system. We still need to do tests. I, for one, want to lower the stat pools and dice size to much smaller than they are now, so everything is less ridiculously massive.

We should do a sample fight and see how it works.

Good idea. Can someone whip up two characters using the new stats?

"Refining"? My queries are more on the "defining" side.

I know that not many people are interested in it, but...for the record, if we went with GURPS, all these numbers would be both defined and refined.

Stats have been given 3-letter abbreviations and in terms of stat-total percentage. Character A is designed to teleport their bullets into position or through walls or directly into the enemy. Character B is designed to delay or "jackhammer" (keeping in alternating reversal and normal timeflow) bullets to suppress and spam. Probably best to test them in an urban environment with cover seeing as that's likely given the setting.

I made another magic circle. Points to whoever can figure out what it does

Seeing as it's written in English and has the term "philosopher's stone" in it, I would presume it creates a pie.

It's written in the Greek alphabet, but yeah, it totally makes a pie.

Yeah, but it's used to form English words. Let me guess, it unmakes something, seeing as it talks of deconstruction and reconstruction along with sorrow, sacrifice and whatnot. In addition to having purple greek characters.

It creates a Philosophers Stone pretty much. The symbols in there are actually real alchemic symbols too.

Wait what? I thought philosopher's stones just involved whatever was valuable at the time and not "sorrow and despair".

The smaller circle would be for summoning, right?

Not really an RotMG stone
In that case, is it in any way related to FFS and his ability to drain the tears of players?
