Ordinary Children Adventures is a quirky RPG with the players being rather extraordinary 'children' living with the enigmatic MOTHER. OCA is a short, story-driven dungeon explorer, and combat is focused around interesting skills that interact with each other and the various mechanics in various ways. The meat of the game is based around planning which skills to pick to maximize your damage against enemies while taking as little as possible in return. And planning is the keyword here. Each of the six classes in the game has six special skills unique to them, while a grand total of 49 generic skills can be learned on top of those. Add in 16 different weapons, each with their own effects, and you have an amazing and baffling selection of abilities to choose from. This game is designed to be as short and sweet as possible, with a maximum of four dungeons to explore depending on how the players progress through the plot.

I'm hoping for six players, but if interest is high I'll readily take eight.

Spoiler: Basic Gameplay (click to show/hide)

Stats and Stat Roulette:
There are four basic stats in the game: Strengthen, Dexerous, Magicana, Charmitude. There are also four derived stats, ATTACK, DEFENCE, SUPPORT and HEALTH. During character creation, each player pairs the basic stats with a derived stat to form their stat roulette. So a player could set their stats as Magicana, Charmitude, Strengthen and Dexerous, meaning that their ATTACK would be equal to their Magicana, their DEFENCE equal to their Charmitude, etc etc. Some skills/weapons can move the stat roulette up or down, changing the pairing between the derived stats and the base one. So, in the above example, if that player's stat roulette was moved up one, the relationship would change to:
ATTACK: Charmitude
DEFENCE: Strength
SUPPORT: Dexerous
HEALTH: Magicana

The stat roulette is always returned to its base relationship when combat ends.

Initiative:
1d10 + SUPPORT. Ties are handled by highest SUPPORT, then highest Dexerous, then RNG decides. Players/enemies go in initiative order, obviously.

Attacks and Evasion:
Unless affected by a debuffs or skill, every character and enemy gains one attack at the start of the turn. They can use this attack to make a basic attack against an enemy. To do so they roll a 1d10. If they roll equal to or higher than their target's evasion, they hit. Damage is equal to 1d10 + your ATTACK - target's DEFENCE.

Evasion is a constant number that is calculated independently of your stats. The players' evasion is usually 6, while the enemies they'll be fighting can vary wildly.

Health and Healing:
Your max HP is equal to HEALTH*4. At the start of a dungeon, your current HP is equal to your max HP. However, in combat, your current HP is not affected by your max HP. So if your HEALTH stat increases or decreases for whatever reason, your current HP isn't affected. However, unless told otherwise, healing spells will never increase your current HP above your max HP.

So, if your HEALTH is 4 and your current HP is 18, then healing spells would have no effect on you, since your current HP is higher than your max HP of 16.

If you reach 0 HP, you are considered knocked out, and cannot fight or use any skills, nor do you roll for initiative. Additionally, you can only regain health through skills that mention recovering knocked out players. If all players are reduced to 0 HP, then combat ends. When combat ends, victoriously or not, all players at 0 HP recover up to HEALTH HP.

Potions

You start each dungeon section with three potions, unless stated otherwise. During your turn, you may sacrifice an attack to consume a potion, or give it to another person to drink. Doing so regains HEALTH*4 HP, and recovers knocked-out players.

Frienemies and Fightmates
During character creation, players place themselves on the character wheel, which determines who their frienemies are. The players beside you and immediately opposite you are your frienemies. Frienemies are often mentioned/used in skill effects.

The character wheel in all its glory.

Fightmates are simply the people fighting in the same combat as you.

Skills:

Skills are exactly what they sound like. Skills are abilities with (often) quirky effects that chain together to allow. Some skills are tagged as passive (P), meaning that you can have as many of them activated as you want. Some skills are tagged as active (A), meaning that you can only have three of those activated at the same time. Some skills are tagged as class (C), meaning that they can only be learned by a player with a certain class.

Note that you can't activate or deactivate your skills while in combat, only outside of it.

Weapons:

During a dungeon, each player chooses one weapon to take with them. Weapons have different effects and abilities, but without certain skills they can't be changed in the middle of a dungeon.

Children Enrichment Activities and Gaining Skills/Stats
In between dungeons, the players will get the opportunity to gain skills and stats through Children Enrichment Activities (CEA). Each CEA gives the player two stats and one skill, picked from a list. The stat/skill gains is dependent on the CEA. Only one player can participate in a CEA per turn.

Dungeons:
The main reason why you're playing this game. All Dungeons have a time limit and objectives, and to successfully finish a Dungeon you must complete the objectives within the number of turns specified in the time limit. Dungeons are divided into separate areas. The different areas are:

Empty Area: Besides some fluff, nothing exists in this place. Congratulations, you jut wasted a turn.
Combat Area: Enemies exist in this area. You must defeat them to move on. You cannot run from or otherwise leave combat areas unless combat is over. Therefore you must stay and fight.
Puzzle Area: There is a puzzle in this area. It must be solved to move on.
RP Area: Some characters exist in this area to interact with as you see fit.
Unexplored Area: An area you haven't explored yet. If this area turns out to be a combat area, you automatically join combat.

It takes a turn to explore an unexplored area, join a combat area or solve a puzzle area. Otherwise you can move between the different areas as many times as you wish before the turn ends.

Spoiler: Classes and Their Skills (click to show/hide)

Experiment:
Experiments are the results of genetic manipulation, alien goop or just plain bad luck. Their DNA is extremely unstable, and they mutate and change rapidly. Skilled Experiments can grow fearsome weapons from their flesh, cannibalize their own bodies to heal themselves, and have other abilities that make the most use of their ever-changing bodies while laughing at conservation of matter.

Good thing that you aren't an Experiment gone wrong, huh? That would be terrible...

Skills:
Strong Genes (C): +1 to HEALTH for each mutation you have. Additionally you gain +10 when rolling to gain new mutations.

Auto-cannibalism (C): Instead of attacking this turn, you may sacrifice a mutation on to regain HEALTH*4 HP.

Back-Alley Surgery (C): Once per every five turns or one CEA, you may roll SUPPORT vs. SUPPORT against a frienemy with a mutation. If you succeed the roll or the frienemy agrees to the surgery you gain any or all their mutations.

Alien:
Aliens are otherworldly beings that come to Earth to examine and experiment on humankind. Good thing that they're just hoaxes, and don't actually exist, huh? Scientists predict that if, hypothetically speaking, aliens did live among us, they would be hyper-intelligent, with psionic powers to support, protect, and heal their allies.

Skills:
Mind Meld (C) - Support: By sacrificing an attack, you may Mind Meld with a fightmate. All of their stats increase by your SUPPORT/2, but any damage and status affectments they receive are also applied to you. Mind meld wears off at the start of your next turn.

Until the end of the next turn, their damage against that target is increased by your SUPPORT, and they ignore that target's stats when inflicting damage.

Cultist:
The Cthulhu Mythos is full of terrors that man cannot comprehend, and the fools that worship them. These cultists are not afraid to dabble in arcane magic, risking their lives and sanity in the eternal search for ultimate power. Those who do obtain those powers will find reality warping around them, and not always in the best of ways. Of course, a few people do try to emulate these cultists from the Cthulhu Mythos, but they are just poor, misguided fools...

Skills:
Transferring Problems (C): By sacrificing an attack, you may move any mutations and/or status affectments on you to a frienemy.

Blasphemy (C): Once per turn you may double your ATTACK by rolling once on the Insanity table.

Unholy Magics (C): By sacrificing an attack, you may increase all of your fightmate's stats by your SUPPORT. You and all of your fightmates roll twice on the Insanity table.

Wizard:
Wizards are old archetypes, as old as storytelling itself. They are rarely kind figures, preferring to fling around elemental magic, curse poor travellers, and generally screw over everyone's lives. They seem to take particular joy in inflicting large number of ailments on a single person, just for fun. Not that you would know anything about that, of course.

Skills:
Mana Burning (C): All enemies suffering from status affectments or debuffings take SUPPORT/4 damage per affectment/debuffings at the end of the turn.

Magics Barriers (C): If you have a status affectment at the start of your turn you may transfer it to a enemy or fightmate immediately, before its effect is resolved.

Vampire:
Vampires are ancient entities of the night, having transcended their mortal forms to become undead bloodsuckers. Their abilities are many, and they are be stronger and more powerful than normal men. They can turn into bats or clouds of noxious gas, or enthrall people with their thick accents. Err, charming gaze, of course. You have no idea how you could get the two confused...

Batty (C): If an enemy attack would deal more than HEALTH HP to you, you only take HEALTH HP damage.

Robot:
Robots are obviously mechanical men, superior in every way to normal humans. They can adapt to every situation with ease, adjusting their abilities as needed efficiently and logically. They also have all manner of powerful modules and equipment, from diamond-tipped drills to impenetrable barriers. The time is nea-very far away that they shall rise up and overthrow humanity to claim their rightful place on Earth.
