My Design Philosophy: Be 'Concise' , Adjective; "Brief but comprehensive."

TLDR; In Bold

This is a project I've been working on since Awakening came out, but it also has a lot of Sacred Stones influence. The main mechanic of my system is a unique way of handing hit rates with a single six sided dice. It can be summarized as...

1 = Abilities activate (Luna, Sol, Berserker Critical, etc)
2 = Pair Up (Dual Strikes and Dual Guards might cancel eachother out by comparing the sub-character's stats)
3 = Special Weapon effects (Killer Weapon Criticals, Throwing Weapons Miss, etc)
4 = "Four-ests & Four-ts" (Terrain based accuracy; easier terrain comparing stats and harder terrain always missing)
5 = Axe & Sword Accuracy (Spears are the most accurate weapon, Axes and Swords compare stats to hit, crit or miss)
6 = Critical Hits or Misses (By comparing stats)

If you don't have an ability or a partner and you're using a normal spear on normal terrain; then on rolls from 1 to 5 you just hit normally for... [Power+Weapon] - [Defense] = Damage.

A major aspect I've changed from the source material is that the Weapon Triangle determines double attacks now; making it more important and making Speed less Overpowered. The same applies to Beastbane and Bows against flying targets.

To play it, simply copy a Map & Character Sheet to your own GoogleDoc, fill it out and move the initials around the map as you play.
(The maps are from my playtesting campaign)

Thank you, there's no armor in the games, probably because they use a straight forward [Strength+Weapon] - Defense = Damage formula. So if Armor were as strong as weapons, most damage would be zero.
