	#Jed's system: When a normal stat+trait roll can't break it, you must make a Break roll against a certain DC, and every Break you spend lets you roll a d6. For example, you may be confronted to a DC 6 challenge and choose to spend 2 Breaks to roll 2d6 instead of only one, which wouldn't leave you much chances to succeed. On a miss, you still get a favorable effect, but your objective isn't quite satisfied. Also, if your roll exceeds your Breaking Point number, you trigger an undesirable effect like the standard Breaking Point consequences. Lastly, you gain a number of Breaks equal to half your score on the roll, rounded. This means after using a Break, you always get at least one back.		#Jed's system: When a normal stat+trait roll can't break it, you must make a Break roll against a certain DC, and every Break you spend lets you roll a d6.

	#Anonymous tester's changes: Breaks become Bends, the world gets a Crack stat, and what is being called the Breaking Point becomes a Break. Being where the players bend reality (possibly letting them do it freely, just to push the limit), and based on just how far they're pushing reality they add a number from one to ten to the area's Crack stat ("I break down the door", 2; "I make him stop existing", 10 (rough numbers)). When reality is Cracked enough, it Breaks and bad shit goes down. Gravity turns off, earthquakes, or whatever. Thinking about it now, I think that the amount of crack generated would be dependent on the player's sixth stat.		#Anonymous tester's changes: Breaks become Bends, the world gets a Crack stat, and what is being called the Breaking Point becomes a Break.

			==BREAK-R==
			An attempt to put some form of 'rulebook' out for the system so far, BREAK-R is the result of BSRaven - one of the Break Mecha playtesters - deciding to take the rules used for Break Mecha and balance them somewhat. Currently in Alpha 1.75, with Alpha 2 on the way after a near-total rewrite. [http://www.mediafire.com/?1c8ajoxrcm1aj2c Alpha 1.75 download link]

	Stat six is what makes you tick. It's the heart of you, the fire in your belly, the shining spark in your mind. A generic term would be willpower, but you know what? Fuck that. Come up ~~for~~ a cool name for it, stick it on your sheet. That's your sixth stat. And if you wrangle it right with your GM, it might be more useful than you'd think.

	You get 14 points to distribute among your stats, with a minimum of 1 per stat. You can choose to keep some unspent points as well (they might come in handy later).

	Breaks do what they say on the tin. Break stuff. See the rules in the previous section? Spend a Break, you can break them. Want to roll 2d6? Go for it. Want to change the DC? Fine. Say you're doing it, toss in your Break, and describe it in an awesome way. For larger and more difficult impossible shit, you might need to spend multiple Breaks. As long as you've got the requisite Breaks, it's cool. Assuming your GM's an awesome dude/chick (and they should be, for running this game), it'll be cool.		Breaks do what they say on the tin.

	Breaks aren't just for mechanics either. A steel door is in your way? Break. It's down. A tall obstacle in your path? Break. Holy shit, you're fucking ~~superman~~. You're going to die? Break. Oh shit, you're Jesus/John McClane.		Breaks aren't just for mechanics either. A steel door is in your way? Break. It's down. A tall obstacle in your path? Break. Holy shit, you're fucking Superman.
