Turn 6

The sniper reloads, calmly enough. [4-1=3] Down below, the raider marksman finds himself still weighed down by the Gravity Trap and barely gets a few steps towards the hill. [1] Despite the vast range, the sniper attempts to throw her grenade towards the raiders. It falls way short of target, detonating with a dull crack and a flash of light in the ruins.

[5+1=6] Persus keeps firing in melee, hoping for the champion to distract the chief. [5][Dodges:5-1+1-2=3/3/3/2/4/2] The chief takes hit after hit, [Damage:2-2=0/2-2=0/2-2=0/2-2=0/2-2=0], his armor shrugging all of them off. [4+1=5] Undaunted, the commando unloads the rest of his clip, [Dodges:6-1+1-2=4/3/4/4/3/1], more hits pinging off the armor [Damage:0/0/1*2=2+1=3-2=1] with minimal effect.

[5+1=6] The champion attacks once more, [Dodge:5-2=3] scoring a glancing hit [Damage:4/2=2] that sends the chief reeling back. [5+1=6] He brings the flaming sword down [Dodge:6-2=4] but the chief leaps out of the way.

[3+1=4] The chief focuses on the champion on his comeback tour, [Dodges:4/6] but finds his blows parried and sidestepped at every turn. [5+1=6][Dodges:4/5] He proves to be very nimble for a man of his bulk and size.

[1][2] The two other raiders would fire as always, but dare not shoot at the swirling melee in fear of hitting their leader. How touching, really.

Forgot the Mark Target penalty on the chief in last turn's melee. This is a lot of modifiers to keep track of, might be useful to figure out a better way of keeping track of em. Have a table of most common situations, maybe.

[Persus13]

Hit the marksman with the kinetic trap, then fire at him.

[darkpaladin109]

Continue slashing at the Chief with my sword. If he dies, use my war cry ability.

[Tiruin]

Operation Blue

'Now to-hello there.'

>> Attack Raider 4!

Turn 7

[2] Safely reloaded, the sniper takes her time to get the marksman back in her sights. [1] And more time. And more. She is beginning to have serious doubts about her choice of career.

Down below, the commando targets the marksman with a Kinetic Driver. [Damage:5+3-2=6] The marksman is shaken, but his armor holds. [6+1=6] The commando follows up with an SMG burst, [Dodges:2-1=1/5/1/5/5/3], scoring a few hits. [Damage:1*2=2+1=3-2=1/1/0] The armor is further weakened, if only marginally. The commando's SMG clicks empty, meaning they need to sink in a fresh clip if they intend to keep firing.

The champion [6+1=6] continues his fight with the chief, [Dodge:5-2=3] scoring a glancing hit on side [Damage:4/2=2] that draws blood. [3+1=4] His next blow [Dodge:5-2=3] has similar luck, [Damage:4/2=2] and he appears to be wearing down his opponent by attrition.

[2+1=3] The raider gives back with his own blade, [Dodges:4/4] but the champion blocks all strikes. Then, to his surprise, the chief leaps back and turns to run. [2+1=3] He stumbles, slowing himself down, but manages to get away from the champion for a moment. (Only 1 Action next turn.)

[3] While the third raider reloads his weapon, manifesting a clip from his belt, the second fires at the champion to cover his leader's escape. [Dodges:1-1=1/1-1=1] Both shots are perfect hits, [Damage:3*2=6-3=3/3*2=6=6] the first one finally punching through the champion's armor and allowing the second free rein on his innards. The man's tough and just shrugs it off with a grunt, but he's not invincible.

[4-1=3] The marksman still keeps on moving, finally managing to get closer to the sniper's position, but is once again left in the open after his efforts.

Not sure if I should continue this test after this scrap - the second part is just general game mechanics that don't need testing, and vehicle combat isn't that different. This has been a good test so far, but let's kill these guys to the end honorably still.

[Persus13]

Reload then pursue the marksman.

[darkpaladin109]

Take cover, then use my war cry ability.

[Tiruin]

Operation Blue

Enemy coming near.

...Must..focus on those at long range. Calculating the wind...

Fire! Aim primarily for the Raider chief until he's down; if down, then target one of the raiders in cover.

[darkpaladin109]

Tiruin, I'l sign up as a knight for your test.

[Tiruin]

Tiruin, I'l sign up as a knight for your test.

Yay, only one more needed!

So I believe you'll let me pick the skill. Got it!

Edit: Wait, that's all 4. OK! Editing in note.

[darkpaladin109]

I'l test a minor conversion of another system to RTD's. Also to get some experience GM'ing, if that's alright. I can always cancel the test if I need to.

Scientist: Darkpaladin109
Test Name: Conversion of WR&M basic elements to RTD
Test Type: Combat
Required Number Of Subjects: 2
Rolls to be filled: 2 adventurers
Tag: Teal
Goal: Deteremining if the system works, rebalancing it if necesarry.

[kisame12794]

Signing up for ADVENTURE!

[Tiruin]

Adventurer mindset, go!

[darkpaladin109]

Alright,I've got enough players now. I'l post the rules below. As for characters just tell me which stats
Rules

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Stats

The main difference is likely going to be in stats. As in the system I'm adapting this from, you only have 3 stats, in this case Warrior, Rouge and Mage, like in the original source material. These stats determine what your character is good at. Warrior affects how tough, strong and brave the character is, while rogue affects how stealthy, agile and charismatic the character is.  Finaly, wizard is somewhat self-explanatory, affecting how good the character is at magic and how intelligent he is.

Character creation

At character creation, you'l be given 6 points to spend in stats. All stats start at 0, meaning -2 to all actions where that stat is applicable. Each point spen in a stat gives all actions where it's used +1, so a stat of 1 would mean you would only get -1 to actions involving that stat, while 3 would give you a +1 to actions involving that stat. With that in mind, there's a limit to how much you can increase a stat. Stats can't be lowered. You also get to pick two skills and one talent. Skills are small things, like being good with certain kinds of weapons, while talents are stronger, but harder to get. To qualify for a skill, you must have the stat it is associated with be at least 2. You also get to pick a race, if they are used at all.
Finaly, you calculate HP (6+warrior), fate (1x rogue) and mana (2x mage). HP and mana are self explanatory, while you can spend fate to do things like avoid attacks that would kill the character, change minor details in the world (the store sells the items the character is looking for, an old friend works in an organization they need to infiltrate, and so on), or reroll or gain +2 to an action. Once spent, fate cannot be gotten back, except in certain situations, such as completing character goals.
You start with 250 of whatever currency is used in the game, which you can then buy items with at character creation.
That's a long explanation, so if there's anything I missed, just tell me. I'l select the equipment I deem apropriate for the characters during this test. All the skills we'l be using are in the rulebook, which you can find here, alongside all the expansions.

Character sheet should look like this

Code: [Select]

[spoiler]Name:
HP:
Fate:
Mana:
Warrior:
Rogue:
Mage:

[/spoiler]That should be everything, I think.

[Tiruin]

So I'll get my gear in shape and start my own experiment...soon-ish. Just when I'll get all my other posts in gear. Soon-ish... :S

Picking a Rogue here, kisame--I'm ok with shifting if you want to be it.

Firstly: I...don't know your 'original material' and am unsure whether to put that '6 points' under the header of Warrior/Rogue/Mage or...um. What stats are, actually.
No list of skills/talents? Oh dear me. If you're going freeform, then at least limit the idea-set. Next:

To qualify for a skill, you must have the stat it is associated with be at least 2.

With whatnow? Associated with...? So this means it is tied to something? As in, there are skills we can pick?
Huh.
