Welcome to Gaia! ::

The combat system is a tool, allowing for random chance to be thrown into a situation. Most world events that deal with fighting and a few private rps will utilize it while others might not.

Now the fighting system itself.

Movement:

These are the max amount of movements allowed during your turn.

A: Normal power-based movement: 1 attack, 1 defense and 1 basic movement
or
B: Double movement(basic only): Use two basic movements(kick, punch, etc) at the expense of the other two movements.
(Ex: Run, double kick or flying all out)



Walking/Running: How much you moved by the end of your turn. Powers can boost these values. ( Flying: continual flying without obstacles and without being hindered/attacked. Other wise start from first round again )

Number values under spoiler

Health Points: (Max HP)

Child: 50
Teen: 75
Adult:100
Elder:150

-KO(Knock out): Hp reaches 0. Knocked out for the rest of the fight even if healed.
( Death is possible but it is up to the owner of the character. Default is knocked out)

Stamina:(Max Stamina)

Toddler: 16
Child: 48
Teen: 80
Adult: 112
Elder: 160

-Exhaustion: Once stamina hits 0 no magical based powers can be used(except some built-in passives: ex: metal skeleton)…. Hope your character knows a weapon or martial art otherwise slap fights are always fun.

Rounds:

Rounds means that once everyone posts, it starts again with the first person who posted.

One round=6 seconds have passed

Stamina:
Defense powers are subtracted from stamina.




Basic defense:block, parry, etc. Anything that
does not use powers does not subtract stamina.

Basic defense uses a 5d6 dice. Basic defense can be used if no power based defense was used that turn.


Evading: Is considered defending.



Defending
Make a new post in the rolling thread Here.

1:Click the "Roll dice" action under the "Post action" window at the bottom of the post.

2:Select Dice: It should always be 6
3:Number of Dice: Insert the level of the power as the number



4:Press post: The value that appears on the post is the defense.



5:If you have any Resistances or buffs(from your character profile), add those numbers to the value.





6:Take the defense value you got from the roll and subtract the attack from it. Any attack points left over are subtracted from your HP value.

7:Is that attack a weakness?(weaknesses are listed in the character profile) Subtracts weakness numbers from defense along with the attack.





8: Post the value in your main rp post.



Barriers/Shields:
Attacks subtract from barrier HP

Barrier HP:
Toddler: 10
Child: 25
Teen: 40
Adult: 55
Elder: 75

If there was no attack on the barrier that round then subtracts 3 stamina points. If there was a attack on the barrier, don't subtract 3 points.

Barriers can only be raised two times per battle.

In-Game Scenario Questions :

Powers:

Command Abilities:

-How to end a command if it is successfully cast.

1. Command complete(can have leeway on interpretation)
2. Six rounds
3. The caster releases the command.

Power Duration(armor, weapons, etc):
- Some powers use stamina to come into being but then there is no set time for them to disappear. Powers always take stamina to maintain, these powers can take less than a point of upkeep a day so the stamina cost is considered negligible most of the time.

However, if a power-blocking ability/device is placed on the character then powers such as armor, weapons, manifestations, etc are neutralized, unless the character can over-power the ability(defense)/device(collars,etc).

Elders:


Summons:
Sentient creations: Illusions that act on their own or imitate the summoner, powers controlled or hijacked by the subconscious, or actual creatures from other places with a mind of their own(npc), etc. These beings are considered a second entity and therefore have their own hp and movement set separate from the player.

Summons: General guide for Hp and dice(during combat).

Toddler: 10hp : 1d6
Child: 20hp :2d6
Teen: 30hp : 3d6
Adult: 40hp :4d6
Elder: 50hp : 5d6

Devices:

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:34

Characters wanting to overpower their collar need to roll on or over 34 with the ability they want to use. If they reach 34 then that skill's full power is unleashed. They will have to re-roll and hit or pass 34 the next round again if they want to use the skill again. Each attempt takes stamina.

Hacking and Security

*Dice change for basic

This is one of the few places where basic rolls can be higher since a human and a meta hacker are on equal footing. A meta might be able to do it faster than a human but they are near equal.

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. If learned during the course of the rp, max is 7d6(ways to grow are still being figured out) . If learned prior, needs to receive an okay from broken_illumination to use 8-10d6.


Thresholds:
Low security: 19
Medium security:28 Cell phone centers.
High security: 34. Military, Haven, Police, Government, SIU

-Six attempts per day, attempting more than this auto alerts the system being hacked.

- Places where computer-based metas are connected might allow only 3 attempts before auto alert.

Weaponry:

In the world of Treterra, modern guns are rare and usually found within the military, police or some criminal organization. Very old style guns and weapons can still be found in sites of battle or pass down as heirlooms. Swords, bows, lances, and martial arts are common place. With the recent end of the great war many true races and humans teach the use of them.

-Dual weapons:(two swords, two guns etc): Considered just one attack, no double rolls.

-Normal guns(including rapid fire): 5d6

Research Center: Experiments:

City Block: 410 feet square
City population: 250,000-500,000 people
City: 465.4 sq miles
Metro City: 36 million people (Criel), Norcrest, Belosh )
Metro: 5,240 sq miles.
