Any where my friends!
Also piratejoe the talent ability's refer to a abilty for each phase that will help you
So you get a
Explorative ability:
Murder ability:
Investigative abilty:
Trial abilty:
Any skills you would have by being an ultimate carpenter could be put below the ability's if you please.

[piratejoe]

I added a execution and fixed the ability's,hopefully its good now.

[AbstractTraitorHero]

It's good now pirate Joe.

Edit: Nevermind, just saw the answer.

Cool any suggestions for improvement on the mechanics? Or anything else for that matter?

[Twinwolf]

Anyway, doesn't having specific "murder abilities" kind of spoil the culprit when you can just look at their sheet and compare to the cause of death? Really, specific "abilities" of any kind take away an element of creativity from the player.

Can you organize those ability's  by type for each phase?

In addition to the above question (which you didn't answer), what is the point of stats? How will they be used?

[piratejoe]

You get 10 points to put into stats I will be rolling 1d20 if those stats are being used
The stats:
Strength:how powerfull you are and how likely you are to kill with a melee weapon.
Perception:How good you are at noticing small details or patterns that other's may not and will give a bonus to searching for clues and examining evidence
Intelligence:Formulating plans,making traps and weapons and disposal of evidence,also good at making fake evidence and making snap decisions.
Luck:It's luck it will be rolled most during a murder phase with the potential victim's HP being luck for one blow can easily be fatal[ luck will be rolled to avoid death but at anytime you can roll your luck to stumble upon evidence or otherwise find things.

[Twinwolf]

But then, there's the issue with stats; someone might be near-impossible to kill because of stats, someone might not be able to kill because of stats, and someone might be an obvious killer because of, guess what, stats. Personally, I think a freeform system might be better for this kind of game.

ALSO: How will cases be handled?

How murder works: The murderer will PM me with an action attempting to kill another player or an NPC.
-I will roll for if the player noticed you using their perception stat. It's a d20, and anything above or equal to a ten means they notice (translation: I will PM them and notify them of the murder attempt) and get to fight back or run.
-If they fight back, five rolls are done using their strength and luck stats.If three or more rolls are in their favour, the would-be victim escapes and the murderer is incapacitated for the whole phase. If the three rolls are in the murderer's favour, the murderer succeeds.
-If they run, five rolls are done , with three rolls in favour of the victim meaning a successful escape, and three rolls in favour of the murderer meaning a successful kill.
-If the kill is successful, there will be another roll for witnesses if there's anyone who could have plausibly saw you. They will roll their perception the higher the roll the higher the identification.saw you,
-If the kill is unsuccessful for any reason, the would-be victim may flee and basically rat the would-be killer out to everyone.

it wouldn't be impossible,just harder to kill someone with the right stats.

ALSO: How will cases be handled?

No idea.

[Twinwolf]

And where do abilities factor into this? A murder ability would most likely be obvious if used, like an Ultimate Archer shooting someone with an arrow.

[AbstractTraitorHero]

Really they don't have to use those ability's at all and their spoilered for a reason so only I and the characters player are allowed to look at them and I certainly am not going to tell anyone investigating that a abilty was used.
Ability's are something you can activate to help you during a phase
Cases will be handled by  first the murderer disposing of evidence and doing whatever and when 3 people find the body everyone will be gathered to the crime scene there they can look for the killers mistakes and find evidence and after say.. Roughly a few in game hours ((probably several rl days)) the class trial will begin.
The stats are mainly for murdering someone or surviving a murder and can be used during the investigation period to find clues much easier and failing a roll badly could give you false evidence hell I'd imagine if the murder rolls well enough on a investigation they'd get the chance to further cover up their track's..
