1. Choose a Birthplace for your character from the Creation list.
2. Choose a Home for your character from the Creation list.
3. Choose a Species for your character from the Species list.
4. Optionally, you may take a sword, shield, and suit of armor from the Armory list.
And you're done. Now all you'll have to do is put your character together and battle. Unfortunately, I can't supply a friend to fight. You'll have to find your own.
* Hits- The amount of damage you may sustain. When this number reaches zero, you lose.
* Strength- Strength is the amount of power you can call upon when inflicting physical attacks. Characters with higher levels will deal more damage than lower levels.
* Stamina- This is the physical conditioning of your character. Higher stamina means you will take less damage from attacks because of your improved defence.
* Speed- Which ever character has the highest speed attacks first. If both characters are near death, this can mean the difference between victory and defeat.
* Mind- Characters specializing in magic forsake physical offence for that of the spiritual. The higher a character's Mind, the more damage their magical attacks will do and the less an enemy's magic can inflict upon them.
* Special- Every Species has an inborn Special Ability. Although you will not be able to attack the turn you use your Special, the benefits can outway the loss.
Your choice of Birthplace, Home, Species, and Weapons will determine your skill in each of these areas.
1. Player 1 and Player 2 both roll one of their dice. We'll call this the Attack Dice since it is how your attack is formulated. The damage you do is equal to twice the number rolled plus your strength. (ex: A character with 10 strength who rolls a 5 would do 5 x 2 + 10. That comes out to an attack of 20.)
2. Both players roll their other dice to determine how much damage they blocked, which we can call the Defence Dice. The fomula is the same, only with the addition of stamina instead of strength. (ex: A character with 10 stamina who rolls a 4 would do 4 x 2 + 10. That comes out to a defence of 18.)
3. To find out how much damage each player took, just follow this formula: Player 1's Attack - Player 2's Defence = How many Hits Player 2 looses. Player 2's Attack and Player 1's Defence determines the damage Player 1 takes.
4. Remove the damage taken from the character's Hits and roll again for another round of combat. Once one player reaches 0 or below, they are defeated. If both characters hit 0, then the player with the greater speed wins, as his blow would have landed first.
5. Special case 1: If your character uses his Special Ability during combat, you will only be rolling your Defence Dice.
6. Special case 2: Certain weapons will come with different methods of battling. For example, the Magic Wand relies on your Mind in place of your Strength and your opponant's Mind in place of his Stamina when attacking.
7. Special case 3: If at any time before or during the battle one of your character's stats goes below zero, it should be set back to zero. You can't go lower than it.
* OTS- One Time Specials may only be used once per combat.
* Temp- Temporary Specials may be used repeatedly, but only last for the round they are used in.
* Temp2- Temporary Specials that last 2 turns. These tend to be Specials that are used to temporarily improve your attack, since you can't attack on the turn you use the skill.
* OTS/Temp(2)- OTS/Temp and OTS/Temp2 are Specials that can only be used once and only produce a temporary effect.
