Недобрые люди | ходы игроков | d6 plumbum: правила

Archetype is a concept of your character. Who are they, what do they want? Describe your character in one catchy phrase following this structure: [adjective] [who], who [is\does\wants\fails what] (рус. — [какой] [кто], который [делает\хочет\не может и т.п. что]). Regain 🌟 once per game session when you role-play and invoke your background, achieve a milestone towards your set goal or deal with your past.

Arts of body, face, mind, soul and will. Arts of war and peace. Knowledge of your powers and weaknesses. Each Art regulates all theoretical activities that your character executes in a manner related to the Art. Sometimes the Art is predefined by how you interpret actions of your character. For example, a well-calculated sniper shot is more Mind than Body while a tough negotiations can be more about Will than Face. You start with one free point in each Art and receive 6 points to distribute among Arts in any proportion. You can’t level any Art above 5 at the start, though it is theoretically possible for the inhuman or extremely seasoned character later in the game. In total, you will have 11 points in your Arts. One point indicates something below average or unpracticed, two are standard for a regular practitioner, three stand for a noticeable competence, four describe a brilliant skill, and five are a human paragon.

Skills are specifications of your competences. Come up with a few really solid areas of knowledge that your character has. You have 5 points to distribute among them. Please note that you can assign up to 3 points to one skill, but each assignment makes the skill more and more narrow, not to say that it reduces availability of other skills. Also, feel free to replace the “Specialist in X” with a catchy name that resonates to your character, if you feel that way. Examples:

Specialist in X | + 1d to (describe broad Skill like blunt weapons, firearms, dancing or medicine)
Expert in X | +2d to (describe a narrower field of application of a Skill like rifles, ballroom dances or surgery)
Master in X | +3d to (describe a specific tool of mastery in your Skill such as M16, waltz or cardio surgery)

Lifestyle Assets indicate useful assets your character gathered during their life of adventure. You have 5 points to distribute here. Lifestyle Assets can be Allies, Contacts, Friends, Safe Houses, Patron, Resources, Status or other setting-specific things provided by the Game Master. The more dots you put into your Asset, the more power it has, the more times you can use it during a game session. They are “expanded” and “restored” after that, as Game Master directs. When picking up any Lifestyle Asset, please determine what is it as in example: “Contact 1: Police | I have someone in the Miami police force to source intel”. You do not have to spend all points at the character creation. Instead, you can announce that you possess a given Asset anywhere in the game. Examples:

Ally X | A close ally OF WHAT KIND to assist you once per game session. Allies often require to return your debt.

Contact X | A source of information WHERE once per game session.

Friend X | You have an ally (WHO) who will assist you freely. However, you expose your Friend that way. If they die or get serious harm, you instantly lose one ⚖️. Without them, you have one less anchor to keep you in one piece.

Patron X | You have a powerful benefactor (WHO) who is interested in your success and can aid you, but his reputation depends on your deeds.

Resources X | More powerful equipment and a nice lifestyle. 1 means availability level of a regular gangster such as drugs, handguns, basic black market stuff, and an OK city life. For 2 you can afford automatic weaponry and sophisticated but still open-source technologies; your lifestyle includes detached house and lots of spare cash. For 3 you can allow heavy weaponry, specialized transport and complicated social set-ups, your can assess government-grade tools. We talk penthouses and private airport lounges here.

Safe House X | You have a place (WHAT PLACE) where you can hide from your enemies.

Status X | You are respected (WHERE) as a member of a certain social group like army or cult, whose members will assist you.

Это показатели состояния твоего героя. Первые три, помеченные сердечками, пассивны. Они уменьшаются на 1, когда проигрываешь в драке (❤️), встречаешь потусторонний ужас или переживаешь психологический надлом (🖤), оказываешься опозорен в обществе (💛). То есть, боевые сцены бывают трёх типов: физические, психологические и социальные. Когда сердечек не остаётся, персонаж выбывает из сцены, игры или жизни. Следующие три также пассивны, но имеют уникальные эффекты.

• Health ❤️. Здоровье. Румяные щёчки, красивый животик. Уменьшается при проигрышах в физических конфликтах и получении физического урона. У тебя столько же ❤️, сколько 🔴 Body, плюс одно сверху.
• Sanity 🖤. Рассудок. Ясность разума, связная речь. Уменьшается при проигрышах в психологических или сверхъестественных конфликтах, получении психического урона. У тебя столько же 🖤, сколько 🟠 Will, плюс одно сверху.
• Shame 💛. Позор. Верно выбранная вилка для десерта, уважаемый шкафчик в школе. Уменьшается при проигрышах в социальных конфликтах, получении урона по репутации. У тебя столько же 💛, сколько 🟣 Face, плюс одно сверху.
• Resolve 🌟. Целеустремлённость. Готовность держать удар и не сдаваться. Каждая 🌟 может быть потрачена в обмен на +3 кубика к любому броску. 🌟 восстанавливаются за отыгрыш до предельного значения. У тебя столько же 🌟, сколько меньшее из 🔵 Mind и 🟠 Will.
• Defense, physical 🛡️ and magical 📜. You must roll more successes than a Defense score to hit someone with physical or magical attack. For example, you need at least 2 successes to hit or curse someone with 🛡️/📜 of 1. Ignore 📜 in worlds where magic does not exist, or interpret it as a psychological resilience. Set your Defense score according to this table below:
  
  Показать содержимое

  🛡 0, if 🔴 + 🟠 ≤ 3
  🛡 1, if 🔴 + 🟠 ≤ 6
  🛡 2, if 🔴 + 🟠 ≤ 9

  📜 0, if 🔵 + 🟢 ≤ 3
  📜 1, if 🔵 + 🟢 ≤ 6
  📜 2, if 🔵 + 🟢 ≤ 9
  📜 3, if 🔵 + 🟢 ≥ 10
• Initiative ⚡. Инициатива. Выбор, кто действует первым. Скорость реакции. Шоудаун. Каждый ⚡ добавляет +1 к результату броска Инициативы (1d6) в начале экшен-сцены. У тебя столько же ⚡, сколько меньшее из 🔴 Body и 🔵 Mind.
• Humanity ⚖️. Человечность. Как далеко зашла твоя моральная дегенерация. По итогам каждой игровой сессии ты и ведущий решаете, совершал ли твой персонаж по-настоящему аморальные поступки, творил зло? Если да, потеряй ⚖️. Когда у тебя не остаётся ⚖️, твой герой оканчивает игру в Мире тьмы, став одним из его антагонистов. У тебя столько же ⚖️, сколько в совокупности 🟣 Face и 🟢 Soul, плюс одни сверху.

Your character should look cool. You should too, by the way. Even if you role-play a total jerk, he is a cinematic one. Come up with a stylish name for your outfit and describe the key parts or impression it creates. Your outfit gives ⬆️ Advantage to one non-combat skill of your choice. Example: “Batman | +1d6 to Stealth. Black cloak, protective gear and a bat mask; a formidable figure”.

Weapons hit harder. There are lethal weapons (🔪, 🏹) and non-lethal ones (🥊, 🔨, 🥎) that deliver 🩸 lethal or 🩹 non-lethal damage accordingly. Each tool of violence has a number of parameters:

• ⬆️ Advantage. First, weapons give you ⬆️ Advantage to your roll. Small weapons provide ⬆️ +1d6 (knife, handgun, baton, short bow, sling, dynamite stick). Professional weapons provide ⬆️ +2d6 (katana, sword, fire axe, shotgun, SMG, bow, javelin, grenade). Military weapons provide ⬆️ +3d6 (zweihander, machine gun, ballista, C4 explosive).
• 📏 Distance. Weapons also have 📏 Distance: Close for melee weapons; Short, Medium and Long for ranged weapons. You can’t use weapon on 📏 that is longer than its effective 📏. You also transform ⬆️ into ⬇️ for using a weapon on a shorter distance (it’s too bulky to operate effectively). You do not need to calculate distances. Just keep in mind that 📏 Close means hand-to-hand range, 📏 Short means CQB range when you require one movement to reach 📏 Close to your enemies (up to 20 meters), 📏 Medium means street warfare range (up to 100 meters), 📏 Long means sniper and open-range distances (up to 400 meters). It is up to you and your Game Master to decide upon longer distances, if you have a need to do so.
• 🧰 Ammunition. A number of shots you can fire before reloading. Most archaic weapons have 🧰 1. In a very realistic games you can track real-life 🧰 that depends on the clip size. For example, a generic SMG has 🧰 30, as it has thirty bullets, plus one in the barrel if you are that virgin). Alternatively, you can forfeit 🧰 completely in the action-movie-like game. Lastly, you can treat 🧰 as a generic “number of uses” in a tabletop game manner to avoid extra management. This is a default approach, and basic 🧰 values reflect this.
• 👜 Size. Weapon 👜 Size indicates how manageable it is. Size can be Small, Medium and Large. You can have only one 👜 Large weapon on you (say, a battle axe or an assault rifle). You can conceal 👜 Large weapon under a long coat or in special carriage only. You can have up to two 👜 Medium weapons (say, two elven swords or the UMP sub-machine gun). You can hide them under a regular jacket or in a duffel bag. 👜 Small weapons can be concealed in holsters or even large pockets, and you can generally carry up to a couple of them without arranging for special clothing or transportation.
• 💵 Price. To obtain something, you should pay something. 💵 can range from 0 to 3 and indicates a level of Lifestyle Asset: Resources required to obtain one. It does not mean that purchasing a weapon “eats away” your Resources. You just need a certain level of them to tell your Game Master that the game has changed. Items without 💵 cannot be purchased in a regular fashion.
• 💥 Explosive. Some weapons are 💥 Explosive, which grants rolls with them area effects within the specified diameter in meters with a central point determined by you and success of your roll. It should not necessary be a shrapnel damage within the area. A stun grenade or smoke grenade has 💥 too.

Your 🦺 Armor provides protection and deducts dice from enemies’ rolls. The more Armor you have, the better… and the bulkier, as each 🦺 above 1 also deducts two ⚡⚡ in situations where mobility and flexibility are paramount (so, you have -4 at 🦺 2 and -6 at 🦺 3). In corridor shooters you are doing fine. Besides, you automatically fail running competitions against light-footed opponents. You may have 🦺 1, 2 or 3 depending on the type of protection you wear. There is also 📿 Magic Armor, which exists in form of charms or protective spells. It functions as a regular 🦺 but without a ⚡ penalty. Examples of armor:

● Leather Armor | 🦺 1 | 💵 1
● Police Vest | 🦺 1 | 💵 1
● Chain Mail | 🦺 2 | ⬇️⚡ -4 | 💵 2
● IOTV Armor| 🦺 2 | ⬇️⚡ -4 | 💵 2
● Full Plate | 🦺 3 | ⬇️⚡ -6 | 💵 3
● Riot Gear | 🦺 3 | ⬇️⚡ -6 | 💵 3
● Protective Ofuda | 📿 1

Key items that are meaningful for the story. No need to recount everything in your pockets, save it for something really important.

Система простенькая, построена как пентаграмма по структуре 5×5: есть пять искусств, а в каждом искусстве есть от 1 до 5 очков. Сколько очков в искусстве — столько d6 кидаем, когда нужен бросок. Например, за два очка кидаем 2d6. Количество кубиков для броска называется пулом кубиков. Значения «5-6» на кубике — удача, при этом 6 взрывается и даёт ещё один кубик, 6 на котором считается ещё одним успехом! Значения «2-4» — ни рыба, ни мясо. Чем больше удачных кубиков, тем лучше. Значение «1» на первом и втором кубиках в пуле — критическая неудача (если в пуле всего один кубик, за выпавшую на нём 1 кидается ещё один кубик, где важна только выпавшая 1). Также бывают ⬇️ Сложности и ⬆️ Полезности. Сложности вычитают кубики из пула, а Полезности добавляют кубики в пул.

Of flesh and steel: rules for martial combat
Martial combat happens when HR can’t settle your differences and you return to the roots. Each combat turn lasts around 5 seconds. It can be more, it can be less. In each turn each character can Move and Act. You can Move twice but can’t Act twice. Move is up to 6 meters/squares. Double Move is up to 12 meters/squares. Act is one action: draw & shoot, just shoot, reload, open door, help an ally, cast a spell, change a weapon.

1. First, Game Master determines 📏: Close, Short, Medium or Long. You can always spend one Move to make 📏 Short into 📏 Close and two Moves to make 📏 Medium into 📏 Short. Long distances are always far away.

2. Second, Game Master determines who is aware of who. A character that attacks suddenly must succeed in a Stealth check to avoid detection. If they do, they have one free turn. If they do not, then go to ⚡.

3. All parties roll for ⚡ Initiative (1d6) to determine who acts first. When someone caught in surprise, no ⚡ is rolled in the first turn, but rolled in the next one.

5. Combatants roll appropriate Art + Skill ± ⬆️ or ⬇️ and aims to get more than target's 🛡️\📜 in direct combat, or roll more than your opponent in social or mental stand-offs. If successful, deduct one from ❤️ | 🖤 | 💛 and replace it with an appropriate Damage type.

6. Repeat, until. :)
