Okay, gonna try this and probably fail.

This is a variation of RtD which uses a d13 instead of a d6, basically, you want 7, as that's the perfect balance between failure and success.
Getting 1 is catastrophically bad (the gun explodes, killing you) and 13 is catastrophically good (the gun explodes, killing the enemy). Both critical scenarios leaves you disarmed.

Bio

You're a group of soldiers sent out to investigate a jungle where mysterious things have been happening. This also isn't a completely modern setting, so you may find yourself limited.
Try not to get too attached to your characters, they might die. Also, there's no limit on how much HP you can give your character.
You could give them 10 000 HP for all I care (warning, having too much HP might ironically kill your character).

That's a good picture. I'm stealing it for my character too.

Spoiler: Character (click to show/hide)

Name: Frank
Gender: Male
Appearance: fifth guy from right, facing left

HP: 15
Skills: Testosterone boost. In moments of heightened stress, He gains the ability to take an extra action, reroll a single die, or boost a strength or stamina roll toward 7 by 1. If you want to balance it, it has a 3-5 turn effect (i.e. he can use this ability once each turn for 3-5 turns), with a 6-10 round opposite effect, where he either takes one fewer action, is forced to reroll and takes the lesser of the two, or reduces a strength or stamina roll by 1 away from 7.

Loadout
Weapon:Bolt action rifle, loaded 5/5, short bayonet
Ammo:3 spare clips 5/5 each.
Attire: Uniform, helmet
Supplies: Shovel, Canteen, Rations, Gun cleaning kit
