You guys realize that this is japan, right? Where the freaking rumor about someone holding someones hand is considered a big deal?

And Kiyoshi has been heard and seen talking to two diffrent people about somebodies boobs.
Someone's quickly going to get a social stigma as some sort of creeper pervert.

But this isn't real Japanese high school. This is Anime/Video Game Japanese High school, where perverted actions are ignored so long as they are entertaining and rumors are only for side characters and backstories.

Depends greatly on the game and anime.

If anyone hears about Yui walking Kiyoshi home, rumors will happen.

Of course, Twin is neither man nor woman but an unholy eldritch abomination like every other Bay12er. The difference is they hide it better.

In all fairness, in real life it would no doubt depend greatly on the school in question.

So, was thinking more about how to fix the system. Does anyone know or know how to find out how damage is calculated in Persona 3? If it's simple enough, I could just use that.
So I guess my idea got thrown out the window, then?

Also I would recommend reducing the % for damage to 1d20+20, by the way. It also means you can use a real die. Average damage is shifted slightly up, but meh. Easy to compensate for that by changing the way Defense works (for example, considering Spirit is supposedly the stat you use for defending, maybe make it [Dt=Dd-(Spi*2+Mag)]? And for physical, of course, it would thus be [Dt=Dd-(End*2+Str)]. Oh, and for healing, I'd say 2d20+40%. It should be a bit more reliable, after all, and it's only Mag*2 rather than Mag*10 like damage, with a base of, what, fifteen points for Dia? For our toughest guys? I mean, maybe they get way better later, but I dunno mang. (Really I feel like it should be Mag*4 and that percentage change; still less healing than damage, comparatively, but it can actually be effective then)

Ah. I felt a system with less rolling would probably be better, so there isn't as much randomness.

I really don't care how strong my characters are. I never got the point of having over-powered characters blast through everything, where is the fun in that?

The part where something even stronger comes along, kicks said character's ass and leads to character development?

I have never seen that happen. It is more the "Munchkin" players I am talking about. Who would learn nothing from it but "Bring a bigger gun next time."

Well, that's not my fault, now is it?
Admittedly I've never seen that happen either.
But I can dream.

I'mma ask you to stop it with that stuff, Stirk.

It was kinda amusing at first but it's just getting annoying.

So please stop? I don't actually find this sort of dynamic entertaining or enjoyable.

@Twinwolf

I was tryin' to make a system with minimal changes, really, while still reducing a certain amount of the randomness. But if you wanna have a system that really uses the stats, chances are it's either gonna be fairly random or fairly crunchy to calculate.
