So you come to learn how to battle, due to play style there are a few different ones to choose from. Events will be inclusive despite what system is chosen.
You may make a Lite and/or Normal battle profile. With people using different battle profiles Lite Battle profile will win since it is fast and easy to make from a Normal profile or to use an alternate system.
General Range
Max: Child: Average Room size Teen: Average House size Adult: City block size Elder City size(at max. Use discretion as it may affects more than the battle. Please ask mods if it is to have a heavy affect)
Power Creation: If you need to check back on Lite power creation(How to Set up a Journal) it is here Here
Lite Battle System: Simple attacks and defense with a handful of charges(number of times that can be used) as a limit.
Damage and defense is decided by a dice roll, every round is one attack and one defense. (In depth system in the next post)
Normal System and Normal System Power Template: More complex and more dice but can also be used for diceless.
Powers can be descriptive and so can limits. There are no charges here so limits are very important to keep things fair. Hp is the limit.
Each stage(teen, adult,elder) has its own set of hp and attacking dice. You attack, defend and move once each round until hp reaches 0. (In depth system in the next post)
Template:
Normal Power Template This is the other option for people who want a more advance battle system with no charges and only hp as the limit. Useful for diceless battles
Once finish just pass it by the mods. Normal can only battle other people using Normal.
Template: [1b] Normal Power Profile:
Quote:
Name of Power: Element: Relation to Item/Race: If item is a campfire and the power is fire... Active or Passive: Are they a passive power/Aura(on all the time) or do they need to be activated. Description of Power: (Growth: Description can change with growth. Start with small spark (toddler), small hand flame(child), campfire(adult), Bonfire size (adult) and at elder a city wide fire storm). Powers can be also modified for other jobs just as long as in this case..it is still a fire.
Weapon: Yes/No (If yes, description of the weapon created with this skill)
Limits: Add any limits that you want, Mods may recommend more or less limits if they consider a power to strong/weak. Default limit for many is " As long as has Hp" (to indicate as long as the character is active in battle)
Powers with special Limits:
These are restrictions on certain powers and how they are used in this system.
If you don't find a limit for a power you want listed here, just write up the power normally with a limit you decide on, mods will check to see if it works.
Default limit for many is " As long as has Hp" (to indicate as long as the character had health to continue). Limit: Hp
AoE(Area of Effect skill/ Affecting everyone around you):

Quote:
We reserve the right to make changes, add/take/restrict powers, and modify as needed. While we are not expecting to have to do this at all and are willing to work with players and their powers, previous abuse of loop holes have made this a requirement
Sub power 1: ("Non-combat" powers. Though they can be used as combat at the start of the player's first turn, once.
Place Unknown if no power comes to mind. This can be fill in at a later date and passed by the mods again)
Active or Passive: Limits:
Sub power 2: Active or Passive: Limits:
Sub power 3: Active or Passive: Limits:
(Now move on to [2] once done filling out all the powers for the stage )
*-------------------------------*
[2]Buffs:
All characters get a buff that they can use on one skill for the duration of the battle.
Buffs raise the value of an attack or defense. They do not take a attack or defense slot to activate but need to be said when they are activated on a skill.
Can only have a max of three buffs on a skill (a mixture of the buff power given to all characters plus any racials)
Normal: (Different from Lite)
Limits: -Three uses per battle, max. (Including buffing someone else)
Just copy and paste the powers from the race your character is from. Hybrids can only have a max of 3 racial powers from the races they are comprised of. Racial Powers Here
*----------------------------------*
[4]Resistances!
Using the growth chart above add as many resistances as fits that stage.
Try to think of what would be ineffective against your Meta's item. Example: If your meta has a poison item and spits poison...then resistance against poison in general might be useful.
Resistances helps in defense.
Restrictions: Can not have resistance to "All physical, All magical attacks" on the same character
Normal: Child: +1 Teen: +3 Adult: +7 Elder: +10
*----------------------------------*
[5]Weaknesses!
Using the growth chart above add as many weaknesses as fits that stage, more if you feel like it. They don't have to be other powers, one of Deskri's weaknesses is Brownies! (He loves them to death, you know.)
Alternate Battle Systems: When you just want to do a quick fight and don't care who wins, or need dice to decide an action?. (Uses the powers listed in the Normal or Lite profiles)
Diceless: No-dice(or almost none), just words. (The most common Rp format)
Comparison/Contest: Each person rolls a 1d20 dice... the one who rolls highest wins.
Contest and Damage: Each person rolls a 1d20.
If the attacker wins the roll, their attack hits.
The defender then rolls another 1d20 to see the amount of damage from the scale below.
Scale: 1:death or really serious damage, 2-5:very serious damage. 6-10: serious damage 11-15: Minor damage 16-19: a scratch 20: it hit but no damage (depends on situation).
Up to chance: Roll 1d20 to decide what might happen to your character using the same chart in (Contest and Damage)
Posted: Mon Nov 04, 2019 11:49 pm
Lite Battle System:
Assuming powers have been created and confirmed by a mod. Lite and Normal are two different systems, they do not cross
All metas start with 50 Health points.
Every power has a charge, which indicts how many times you can use it in one battle. How many charges a characters has depends on age. (Some powers may have different charge number to keep things fair)
Toddler: Do not join battle Child: 2 Charge Teen: 3 Charge Adult: 4 Charges Elder: 6 Charges
All metas roll 5d6 dice to attack, defend or do basic movements.
When using a charge to attack or defend: Add these numbers to the value you get after rolling a 5d6
Toddler: Do not join battle Child: +1 Teen: +3 Adult: +7 Elder: +10
Resistance: If the attack is something listed under character resistances add +5 to defense
Weakness: If the attack is something listed under character weaknesses: Subtract -5 to defense.
*------------------* Other Information
1 attack and 1 defense action per character. Normal movement must be within reasonable radius.
If doing a basic attack,defense, throw at someone, don't add those numbers.
If being hit by a power your character has listed under Resistant: Add 5 to the defense value you get after rolling.
If being hit by a power your character has listed under Weakness, subtract 5 from defense value you get after rolling.
Only One subpower can be use at the start of the character's first turn in battle. They can not be used after that.
Passive powers that are listed under subpowers are always on but they do not directly affect an enemy, and if they do ..they gain charges. Example: Tracking someone by sense of smell
Powers can summon or be manipulated into a weapon. After charges are used up it can continue to exist but only use basic attack rolls, element still in effect.
Escape is running away for two rounds without taking damage. Can't attack but can defend.
Fighting with three or more than three people raises the hp for everyone to 100hp. If two or more characters are ganging up on one character, that character may turn their attack into a second defense. Escape will also take 4 rounds of no damage(any amount of damage will reset this ).
*------------------------------*
Buffs(optional)
All characters get a buff that they can use on one skill for the duration of the battle. This is not automatic, it is an optional buff that can be activated at any time, once, on almost any skill.
Buffs raise the value of an attack or defense. They do not take a attack or defense slot to activate but need to be said when they are activated on a skill, they stay on that skill for the entire battle and can't be moved.
Can only have a max of three buffs on a skill (a mixture of the buff power given to all characters plus any racials)
Buffs can only be gained from racials, optional buff(this), and in a very few instances grandfathered skills(Heavy limit) and the very rare new one with heavy limits.
Lite:
Limits: -Can be placed on almost any skill during battle. -Lasts until end of battle on chosen skill -Can not stack with another permanent buff. -Does not take an attack or defense slot to activate -Can not be used on someone else
Values: Child: +1 Teen: +1 Adult:+2 Elder:+3
*------------------------------*
Weapons: (Summoned: Extra Info)
Each skill has the option to summon a weapon. Summoning a weapon does not take up a charge and does not take up an attack or defense slot if just being summoned.
Weapons can persist even after all charges on that skill are used up, any attack with a weapon is considered a basic attack 5d6. Unless a charge is used to power up the weapon, the charge must come from the skill that allowed the weapon to be summoned in the first place.
Weapons even in basic attack may have a tint of their element. So a flame sword while to weak might still burn. Shadow, light, water etc.
*------------------------------*

Normal Battle System
Assuming powers have been created and confirmed by a mod. Lite and Normal are two different systems, they do not cross
Starting health depends on age Child: 30 Hp Teen: 50hp Adult: 70hp Elder:100hp
Every round each character can attack, defend and move once.
All powers have some kind of limit, even if it is just Hp, to indicate as long as they are not knocked out they can continue to use that power. Limit: HP
The duration of most powers,without taking limits into account, is four rounds unless confirmed differently.
Dice used for attacking, defending , Resistance and Weakness(5d6). Child:3d6 Teen: 5d6 Adult:7d6 Elder:10d6 Basic attack/defense/action: 5d6
If being hit by a power your character has listed under Resistance: Add these values to what you get after rolling the dice for your age.Even if using a power . (testing) Child: +3 Teen: +5 Adult: +7 Elder: +10
If a non-magi adult human has resistance to something, they roll a 7d6, otherwise 5d6. Non-magi adult humans may also roll 7d6 on skills listed (instead of power profile). Ex: Carpentry, tracking, sniping, martial arts. (will be restricted if abused)
If being hit by a power your character has listed under Weakness: Subtract these values from what you get after rolling 5d6(if not using a power to defend, otherwise subtract it from the defense power roll). (testing) Child: +3 Teen: +5 Adult: +7 Elder: +10
Can only have a max of three buffs on a skill (a mixture of the buff power given to all characters plus racials)
Only One subpower can be use at the start of a character's first turn of battle. They can not be used later.
Passive powers that are listed under subpowers are always on but they usually do not directly affect an enemy and if they do they must do a comparison roll. Each side rolls 1d20 and whoever is higher gains the upper hand. Roll each time it is used.
Example: Tracking someone by sense of smell
Summoned beings use the character's attack or defense slot to attack or defend.
Escape is running away for four rounds without taking damage. Can't attack but can defend.

If you don't find a limit for a power you want listed here, just write up the power normally with a limit you decide on, mods will check to see if it works.
Default limit for many is " As long as has Hp" (to indicate as long as the character had health to continue). Limit: Hp
AoE(Area of Effect skill/ Affecting everyone around you):
-Lasts 1 round or is case by case - Each AoE can only be used twice per battle -Friendly fire(attack allies/heals enemies, etc) -May be combined with others skills
Barriers: Power does not require to say it is a barrier but if used as a barrier this applies.
- Child: 10 hp, Teen:20hp, Adult: 30hp, Elder: 50hp -Barrier take full damage if hit, until it goes down. -Can only use barrier twice per battle for each skill that has a barrier form. -Can only protect someone/s for max 4 rounds or until runs out of hp -Generally can not attack through a barrier but will be on case to case bases.
Bind:
-Can only hold someone for 4 round.
Buffs(Raising Damage)
As everyone now has a buff ability any extra buffs are limited to racial or are heavily limited. They still need to pass Mod agreement.
Cleanse/Dispel:
-Can get rid of permanent/semi-permanent effects. Ex: a skill that temporary raises another character's hp, A skill that temporarily lowers hp, etc

Creation Abilities:
Max: Child: Size of a dog. Teen: Size of a horse. Adult: Size of a car. Elder: Size of a cruise liner. (Depending on the power, creations can continue to exist past the use of the power and maybe used to attack or defend but are then considered like Summons. Check Summons below)
-Can only be used 2 times per battle.
- They are not considered a second character and will use up the Summoner's attack or defense slot instead.
-Barrier Limitations: Barrier limitations are used if the creation is used like a shield.
-Summon Limitations: Summon limitations are use is the creation is used like a second being(No matter many how many are created they are considered one).

-Can not be used in battle to escape. -All other dimensions are parallel or alternate dimensions of Metamorphosis Sanctuary . -Two living doubles can not exist in the same dimension without causing excruciating pain to each other until one dies.

(Will be restricted if abused)
Dimension(Pocket, Miniature, Hammer space):
Creation of dimensions or pocket dimensions are on case by case bases in how they affect battle or when/how they are used.
DoT(Damage over Time):
Considered a normal attack, can be rped as it takes a while but all damage is taken in that round.
Double attacks:
-Double attacks can be rped as as a double attack but there is no double damage. The other player can also play their defense as double as well but can not roll double defense. ( In short double attacks/defense are not allowed, mechanically. However, they can be rped that way. )

We reserve the right to make changes, add/take/restrict powers, and modify as needed. While we are not expecting to have to do this at all and are willing to work with players and their powers, previous abuse of loop holes have made this a requirement

Hacking (( Information for anyone playing a tech meta or hacker) *Dice change for basic
This is one of the few places where basic rolls can be higher for a human since a human and meta hacker are on equal footing even if a computer meta might able able to do it faster and even in battle while a human can't.
If this is an ability that a human/true race has then it has to be describe in their profile prior to turning it in to be okayed. If learned during the course of the rp needs to receive an okay from broken_illumination to use +6 elder stat (will be added to store)
Thresholds: Low security: 19 Medium security: 28 Cell phone centers. High security: 32. Military, Haven, Police, Government, SIU
Quote:
(43 if using Normal system) -Six attempts per day, attempting more than this auto alerts the system being hacked.
Quote:
- Places where computer-based metas are connected might allow only 3 attempts before auto alert.
Security Security differ from place to place, these are of note.
SIU: Military grade shielding against EMP around important electronics and defenses. Threshold: 33 Security Personal in the area: Low-Medium High Security against hacking: Threshold: 32 (43 if using Normal system)
Military bases: Military grade shielding against EMP around electronics and defenses. Threshold: 33 Security Personal in the area: High High Security against hacking: Threshold: 32 (43 if using Normal system)
Governments: Security Personal int he area: High Security against hacking: Threshold: 32 (43 if using Normal system)
Renegades: High Security against hacking: Threshold 32 Security Personal in the area: Depends on location High Security against tracing/phone: Threshold 32 (43 if using Normal system)

??? Security personal: High High Security against Hacking: Threshold: 32 (43 if using Normal system)
(security numbers are being tested)
Weapons and Items
Collars: Collars are made and used by research centers, bounty hunters, military, police, and some criminal elements. They are able to prevent the use of powers but they can be overpowered. Threshold:29 (43 if using Normal system)
Characters wanting to overpower their collar need to roll an attack on or over 29 with the ability they want to use. If they reach 29 then that skill's full power is unleashed. They will have to re-roll and hit or pass 29 the next round again if they want to use the skill again. Each attempt takes charges/round.
Tranquilizer Dart:(not a power, weapon) Sleep for that round if used in battle and 3d5 for damage.
Guns: These are the normal none power variety. These are restricted to military and criminal elements with the occasional old type in a family or found on a battle field. They are not sold to civilians and can be confiscated if they are found by the police. Lite: 5d6 Normal: 7d6 (due to causing more damage) - Only for 4 rounds. Two rounds to reload.
Weapons: Any item that is formally recognized as a weapon. Ex: Sword, staff, bow , daggers, etc Lite: 5d6 Normal:6d6 (due to causing more damage)
