Skills and Clocks

[krbz999]

(New discussion. Succeeds #35.)

Implementation:

• [x] There is a defined list of skills: Agility, Brawn, Mind, Spirit.
• [x] When rolling a "skill check," the user picks two skills that fit, or the same skill twice.
• [x] Each skill has a number of dice (initially 2) as well as a number of guaranteed hits (initially 0).
• [x] The combined skill roll adds up the dice and the guaranteed hits and rolls all together. Each die is a d6.
• [x] Every 6 rolled is a hit.
• [x] The GM determines what the threshold is for success. (At initial levels, this is likely just going to be 1.)
• [x] A party actor shows clocks, and the GM determines which clock goes up by one when the roll is performed depending on whether it was a success or not. (See: #86.)
• [x] Generally the attempt succeeds regardless in some fashion, but the success or failure might optionally result in a better or worse outcome immediately. If a clock gets filled, it will result in a consequence for the next session / next dungeon / etc.
• [x] Create a roll table of generic detriments or boons that a GM can use in case no story-related consequences apply.

Here's a first crack at some boons on a d6 table

Boons: 1 - Your success thus far have bolstered your confidence! For the next session, you have one additional Action Point during your first turn of each combat.

2 - You have managed to do exceptional well today and are more comfortable with your abilities. You have one additional mind and one additional stamina die next session.

3 - The exceptional ways in which you accomplished your goals today have taught you many valuable things. When you roll for Mind or for Spirit next session, you add 1 extra die to your pool. If you are rolling Mind AND Spirit, you add 2 extra die, 1 for each.

4 - Having easily made your way through today's hardships, you are more than well rested for the next session! Your maximum hit points are increased by 20 for the next session.

5 - The training you've put yourself under recently has paid off! During the next session, your Brawn and Agility rolls explode!

6 - The strongest weapons are forged in the toughest environments and your body is no exception! For the next session, you re-roll any 1's in your damage dice.

Here's a first crack at some detriments on a d6 table

Detriments: 1 - Your core is shaken due to your injuries today. You have 1 fewer health dice next session.

2 - Injuries from your adventures today have made it hard for you to rest properly. You have 1 fewer Action Point during the first round of each combat next session.

3 - You can't help but feel that some greater being is disappointed in your success and failures after today. You roll 1 fewer dice any time you roll Spirit during the next session.

4 - Ambient magic has seeped into your weary body. You take 1d6 additional damage when subjected to lightning, fire, ice, or wind magic.

5 - Your body is weak and tired after the strain you've put on it today. Whenever you roll for Agility or Brawn during next session you roll 1 fewer dice.

6 - You have pushed your body to its limits today and have severely overexerted yourself. You have 1 fewer mand and 1 fewer stamina dice next session.
