➧ MECHANICS
- All PSI powers utilize given dice rolls presented within their unique power descriptions.
Combat can be used exclusively as a dice mechanic or in conjunction with light roleplay. It is recommended that combat posts be no more than a few sentences long to keep things flowing smoothly and quickly. Each post counts as a turn. Some attacks may incapacitate an enemy (or you!) for a number of turns, which means the attacker can make that many actions without waiting or retaliation. We will be using very solid, generally low numbers to limit the amount of math involved to ensure efficiency and understanding.
Damage is measured in normal or aggravated terms. Normal Damage is distributed precisely at the time of attack. Aggravated Damage is prolonged and may continue over a number of posts. All damage may be blocked and aggravated damage may also be interrupted. Check each PSI Power for a run down of their damage.
Classes are fundamental in understanding the mechanics of the mental world, your own psychic powers, and combat. Training functions under the exact same guidelines and is a good way to practice! Train alone or with friends.
