Mirage 24,772 May 30, 2019 Share May 30, 2019 It kinda depends how far down the rabbit hole you want to go... Once you start making stats, you need rules, and more rules, and more rules... 2 “Remember that when you leave this earth, you can take with you nothing you have received--only what you have given.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matrix Twang 338 May 30, 2019 Author Share May 30, 2019 Next two weeks are vacation weeks, so I have PLENTY of time. I'm willing to go as deep as I need to while keeping it accessible, if that's possible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brony Number 42 10,073 May 30, 2019 Share May 30, 2019 (edited) You could adapt an existing system. The setting and tone matter. For example, a sci fi setting might focus on intelligence, tech skills, or mind powers. A modern setting will focus on real world abilities. Maybe have 8 to 10 stats that range from 1 to 10. Characters can level them up as they advance. Then have a skill system that is % based, with each skill referencing a stat. It costs points and money to increase these.
