Welcome to Gaia! ::

A possible die system we're going to be using between Ahzi and me, so please don't comment.



Ahzi: Here's my recommendation for a character bio sheet, at least in my opinion. This is just for the monsters, atm...





This is a fairly simple sheet, compared to things like D&D, or the like, which really get into things. Naturally, everything depends on what the original attributes are, but let's start off with a pure, level 1, godzilla girl-to-be.... For sake of simplicity, we're going to say she has 45 points to spend.



We generate that the defenses are stats which denote how well a monster defends, attack is how accurate they are to attack, and damage accordingly is how hard they hit when they connect... As I stated before, this is a premade character, so I'll walk you through the steps.


You ready?

(from here on out, i'll use standard parentheses to denote in and out of character. Be nice with gina.... she'll treat you well. wink )


You awake to find yourself in a laboratory, the water from your busted tank all over the place. The scene looks like one of those freaky cloning centers or genetics labs, and you're confused, but you know one thing: You have to get out of here by any means possible. You look around, and there's a man trying to help you to your feet. You feel really good around him, like you can trust him, even obey him.

"Good, it looks like you're in one piece. Let's get out of here Gina," he says to you, as you look around stunned. From the door, there's a security guard who riles you up. He's not in any mood to stop either....

"Gina, Go beat him up."

(with combat initiated, you get to choose an attack, be it melee, ranged, or special)

(Now see, here you picked a "melee" attack, a physical connection. Out of character, now you have to roll a D20, a twenty sided die. This is what's known as an Attack roll. Just for reference, your opponent's stat sheet looks like:

(okay, you rolled a 14. Easy enough. Willhelm's Fortitude defense, or his ability to block, is only 11, so you successfully connect. however, if you look on your stat sheet, under attack, you'll realize you get a plus 1 modifier to melee attacks.

Meaning you rolled a 14. Plus 1 for strength. so your final total is 15. since 15>11, you connected with wilhelm. Now you go to damage. roll 1d4, or 1 "4 sided die".))

(willhelm takes 3 damage, he's at 7 health...)

The kick connects with willhelm, sending him sprawling on the floor. Angered, he gets up and pulls out a tazer, and fires at you.


(currently rolling die; generally, a GM doesn't show what the enemies roll, or their character sheets, simply because if a player is doing really well, or really poorly, they can adjust on the fly, but i have to show for the sake of learning, so wait until i say this post is finished to start another attack. Try mixing it up some too, pick melee, ranged, or special...)

(Wilhelm only got a 5, plus 1 to hit, which makes it a six. Since he's using ranged, we use your reflex defense instead of fortitude, to dodge the attack, which you are successful.)

The tazers fly wide, missing their target, probably due to him being dazed.

(done, your turn).

((That's obviously a hit, so time for damage!))

Unfortunately, Gina misses his face and hits the side of his head instead, so she doesn't get quite the satisfying crunch of his nose caving in on itself that she was hoping to get.

(Willhelm's damage is....)

(15! now, generally there's something called Damage resistance, or DR. i'm modifying it to be your Toughness score, which is ten. Ergo, your damage is....

15-10=5 damage, leaving you 16 hp left)


The prods do their job, giving a good jolt to Gina.

(yup, you're right, so you're at 15 hp. I got a little ahead of myself)

Wilhelm goes for a good whack with his beat stick.
