A Certain Role-playing Game

Started out as just an idea, then /tg/ picked it up. Basically, it's a game set in the To Aru universe complete with psychic powers and magic. (the word complete is used very loosely) It's a dice-pool system based on the d10.

Base Stats

There are three base stats: Physical (Body?) - Covers everything physical, from running to lifing, to shooting pistols. Mental (Mind?) - not only sheer intelligence, it's also the speed of thought and everything that's based in your head. Social - How much of a people person you are.

These stats are, at the moment, generated by rolling 2d10 for each. You may switch places on two.

There's also ideas on making it a point-buy system and thereby evening out the ratio between Level 5 ESPers and Level 0 non-ESPers.

Base Mechanic

Skill Rolls: A skill gives a bonus to your base stat (Running 4 gives a +4 bonus to Physical, Knowledge (Trees) 8 gives +8 to Mental if Trees come into play on a theoretical level.), which you then roll 2d10 and try to roll under the resulting number. 19 and 20 are critical failures, 2 and 3 are Spectacular Successes.

Powers: !!! Powers are still being worked on, this is the current system but will probably be changed to the better one proposed in the latest thread !!! You get a number of dice equal to your level (Level 4 = 4 dice), these are your power dice. The higher you roll, the better the result.

More to be added, probably
