[Zeta Kai]

Final Fantasy:
Limit Breaks

Premise
I, for one, highly doubt that anyone could fully do justice to the entire Final Fantasy series in a unified d20 conversion. A Final Fantasy VII d20 is possible, & so is a Final Fantasy X d20, but a Final-Fantasy-everything is probably unworkable, due to the wildly different mechanics/power levels/monsters/classes/spells/etc. This would most likely be either an all-inclusive mess or a compromise-heavy system that would ultimately satisfy no one.

That said, I was intrigued & inspired by the limit break systems found in nearly all of the later games. I started statting out the ones in FF7, & I realized that most of the limit breaks in other games of the series could be included with minimal compromising.

Here is the result...

Limit Break Feats

[Zeta Kai]

Rules Overview
Each PC (& select few eligible NPC’s) accrues Overdrive Points (OP’s) under certain conditions. Once they have accrued 100 OP’s, they can then spend them to power a Limit Break, which is a special ability (usually an attack) of amazing power. Unless otherwise noted, all Limit Breaks take 1 full-round action to execute, they ignore damage reduction (DR), they never provoke attacks of opportunity (AOO), & do not allow a Reflex saving throw for half damage. All such Limit Breaks cost 100 OP’s to use, & a PC cannot accrue more that 100 OP’s.

[Zeta Kai]

Conditions
Initially for PC’s, the default condition for accruing OP’s is Stoic (Gain 1OP each round in which you are successfully dealt damage by an opponent; physical, magical, & psionic injuries count, while wounds received from traps, environments, etc. do not). Accrual conditions can only be changed when a character gains a level. The conditions under which one can accrue OP’s can be chosen from the following list:

Warrior: Gain 1OP each round in which you successfully deal damage to an opponent
Healer: Gain 1OP each round in which you successfully heal damage of an ally; healing oneself does not count
Comrade: Gain 1OP each round in which one of your allies are successfully dealt damage by an opponent; physical, magical, & psionic injuries count, while wounds received from traps, environments, etc. do not; you must designate no more than 5 allies that this applies toward; all other allies do not count; this list can only be changed if a designated ally leaves the party (no communication) for more than 24 hours
Slayer: Gain 3OP each round in which you successfully kill an opponent
Victor: Gain 1OP each round in which your party successfully kills an opponent; you must designate no more than 5 allies that this applies toward; all other allies do not count; this list can only be changed if a designated ally leaves the party (no communication) for more than 24 hours
Tactician: Gain 1OP each round in which you successfully bestow a negative condition on an opponent; negative conditions include blinded, confused, cowering, dazed, dazzled, deafened, energy drained, entangled, exhausted, fascinated, fatigued, frightened, nauseated, panicked, paralyzed, poisoned, shaken, sickened, stunned, or turned; no other conditions count
Hero: Gain 3OP each round in which you successfully kill an opponent using a coup de grace maneuver, or whenever you kill an opponent by dealing damage that is 5× (or more) your opponent’s current HP
Ally: Gain ½OP each time it is your turn in combat
Daredevil: Gain 2OP each time it is your turn in combat & your current HP is 10% or less than your maximum HP
Solo: Gain 2OP each time it is your turn in combat & you are the only active combatant on your side; all allies are either not present, dead, disabled, dying, petrified, sleeping, staggered, unconscious or otherwise helpless
Coward: Gain 3OP each time you successfully run from a combat situation; initiative must be rolled, your opponents must have made at least 1 attempt to attack, & you must succeed in completely evading the opponent; opponents who succeed in catching up with you & engaging you in combat later negate this
Dancer: Gain 2OP each round in which you successfully evade an attack from an opponent; attacks that would normally hit you if your armor bonus were lower do not count toward this, nor do attacks that hit but fail to deal any damage (due to DR, SR, & the like)
Rook: Gain 2OP each round in which you successfully counteract a negative condition on yourself or an ally, or your negate damage from an element-based attack; negative conditions include blinded, confused, cowering, dazed, dazzled, deafened, energy drained, entangled, exhausted, fascinated, fatigued, frightened, nauseated, panicked, paralyzed, poisoned, shaken, sickened, stunned, or turned; no other conditions count
Sufferer: Gain 1OP each round in which you acquire a negative condition dealt by an opponent; negative conditions include blinded, confused, cowering, dazed, dazzled, deafened, energy drained, entangled, exhausted, fascinated, fatigued, frightened, nauseated, panicked, paralyzed, poisoned, shaken, sickened, stunned, or turned; no other conditions count
Victim: Gain 2OP each time it is your turn in combat & you possess a negative condition dealt by an opponent; negative conditions include blinded, confused, cowering, dazed, dazzled, deafened, energy drained, entangled, exhausted, fascinated, fatigued, frightened, nauseated, panicked, paralyzed, poisoned, shaken, sickened, stunned, or turned; no other conditions count
Avenger: Gain 5OP each round in which an opponent successfully kills a member of your party; you must designate no more than 5 allies that this applies toward; all other allies do not count; this list can only be changed if a designated ally leaves the party (no communication) for more than 24 hours


Acquiring Limit Breaks
You may choose 1 Limit Break during initial character creation; additional Limit Breaks may be gained each time you gain a level in which you also gain a feat (3rd, 6th, 9th, 12th, 15th, 18th, etc), provided you have achieved all of the prerequisites. Your chosen Limit Breaks cannot be changed later.

[TheGrimace]

once again you impress the heck out of me, my friend.

I'm still trying to best you at d20 baseball...

I like the idea, I think I may adopt it, but I would suggest accruing overdrive points more slowly.

In my experience, you can go an entire game and only see 2 or 3... So why should the PC's do it so much more often? On your system, I could see PC's doing one every 2 or three combats.

also, didn't you only do limit breaks when you were severely injured?
do you intend on making that a rule? or do I have to home-rule your home-rule?

[Gralamin]

Very Nice Zeta Kai.

A Fight is only supposed to last 5 rounds. Even if say you where a batman wizard tactician, and assuming a fight was at least 2 enemies, You could only really get a maximum of 10/encounter, Assuming its for each enemy. And even that is with liberal use of spells.


also, didn't you only do limit breaks when you were severely injured?
do you intend on making that a rule? or do I have to home-rule your home-rule?

They are possible at other times. That is just when you are most likely to get them.

[TheGrimace]

• Daredevil: Gain 2OP each time it is your turn in combat & your current HP is 10% or less than your maximum HP

• Victor: Gain 1OP each time your party successfully kills an opponent; you must designate no more than 5 allies that this applies toward; all other allies do not count; this list can only be changed if a designated ally leaves the party (no communication) for more than 24 hours

• Victim: Gain 2OP each time it is your turn in combat & you possess a negative condition dealt by an opponent; negative conditions include blinded, confused, cowering, dazed, dazzled, deafened, energy drained, entangled, exhausted, fascinated, fatigued, frightened, nauseated, panicked, paralyzed, poisoned, shaken, sickened, stunned, or turned; no other conditions count

These three in particular could rack up the OP
also...

• Warrior: Gain 1OP each time you successfully deal damage to an opponent

in 5 rounds of combat, you could get 40P

OMG....
I get it...
I was reading it as 10 P
not 1 OP

I revoke my statement...

[Zeta Kai]

For the record, I have edited the condition (which were inspired by FFX) so that it is more clear how often OP's can be gained. I changed many instances of "gain XOP each time..." to "gain XOP each round in which...", clarifying that in most cases, you cannot gain OP more than once per round.

Also, yes, it is easy to misread "1OP" as "10P". If it becomes a larger issue later, I will edit the posts to read "1 OP" (if you still see that as "10 P", then that's your fault).

I had a question about your desperation attacks, and how it relates to the game (FFVI).

In the game, Terra's Riot blade dealt damage to and poisoned each enemy. Celes's Spin Edge, Cyan's Backblade, Edgar's Royal Shock, Gogo's X-Meteor and Setzer's Red Card hit multiple enemies. Relm's Star Prism and Strago's SabreSoul instantly killed the enemy, instead of massive damage. Mog's Moogle Rush, Sabin's Tiger Break, Shadow's Shadow Fang, and Locke's Mirager Dealt major damage to enemies.

Desperation attack Does seem to mimic some of them, and is powerful, but I can't help but wonder why you generalized the entire cast's special abilities like that.

Honestly, as much as I love FFVI, the Desperation attacks come up so rarely, & the PC's classes are so nebulously defined, I felt that it wasn't very important to flesh out each permutation on it; most of them just destroy one enemy. I may go back & expand upon it later (most likely based on class). Thanks for the information, though; that the most concise & clear description of the various Desperations that I have seen.

Um, that's pretty much the standard Omnislash, as presented in post #93 of this thread. What, 15 automatic critical hits in one round isn't enough for you?

Whoops, didn't look at the details closely enough. My bad! :smallfrown:

[deshrimp]

Question. This refers to all your Limit Breaks for Tifa's Limit Breaks.

Isnt Multiple automaic Criticals Overpowered? First off, You get to make a crit with all attacks in a furry of blows. and a 6 isnt that hard to roll. Also If I remember correctly, You had to stop three reels. Like Wakka's Attack Reels.

Just some thought.

[PsyBlade]

Each reel on Tifa's Limit Break represented ONE of her learned attacks. It gets up to 7 reels. Each hit/Yeah/miss affected only one of her Limits. I should note that I have encountered two variations of her reels actually, one where each non-miss activated the next in the chain, the other where each reel only represented one specific attack. In the former you had to get 7 successes to do Final Heaven, the other just had to succeed on the last reel. And the reels weren't hard either.

Just some thought.

Considering the rarity with which these abilities can be used (much have 100 OP's), combined with the fact that one has to meet other prerequisites (in Tifa's case, must have 1 level of Monk, cannot be a spellcaster of any sort, must fight unarmed, & must take all of the previous breaks in order to gain the next one in the chain) in order to use it, I don't see it as being any more overpowered than playing a gestalt character or using action points.

As for the mechanics, I will admit that I simplified that one. It is less accurate than most other Limit Breaks presented here. I may retool it, if I have time & the demand to do so is high.

[Zeta Kai]

Limit Break Feats

Double Overdrive [General]

Benefit: You double the amount of OP that you accrue via any means.

Triple Overdrive [General]
Prerequisites: Limit Break(s), BAB +25

S.O.S. Overdrive [General]

Overdrive --> XP [General]
Prerequisites: Limit Break(s), BAB +10
Benefit: You convert all of your OP to XP; 1OP is worth 10XP.

[IvoryRaven]

How much damage does a Zanmato do to opponents such as golems and undead which can survive the loss of their head? What happens if you use it on something which has more than one head, like a hydra or an ettin?

[Korias]

What, 15 automatic critical hits in one round isn't enough for you?

No :smallbiggrin:.

But on the question that these are gained like feats: How do you handle Epic-ness?

[Zeta Kai]

To IvoryRaven: See the vorpal rules here (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/magicItems/magicWeapons.htm#vorpal).

To Korias: Well, you can gain a new Limit Break basically anything you can gain a non-bonus feat. So that results in a grand total of 7 Limit Breaks (1st, 3rd, 6th, 9th, 12th, 15th, & 18th) before going epic. I would say that past 18th level, you cannot gain any more Limit Breaks. Seven of them is enough for any one character, really; you only gain bonus feats as an epic character anyway. FFVII characters gain more than in any other game, & they have 7 at most.

[Zeta Kai]

Bonus Material: Final Fantasy VI Desperation Moves
In most cases, you can use the Desperation Attack Limit Break without issues. However, for campaigns that seek to emulate the style & flavor of FFVI as accurately as possible, this Limit Break alone may not be enough (especially for a large cast of characters, like that found in FFVI). So, for fans of that game (myself included), I have elaborated on the Desperation Moves as much as one reasonable can. Please feel free to use these Limit Breaks instead, as they should be balanced with the other ones list above.

This also explains why I only did 1 Limit Break per post. The spacing here is unpleasant & the formatting took forever. It was much better doing only 1 at a time.

Okay, these are awesome, seem relitivily balenced (Some need tweaking. Fury. :smallannoyed: ) One question. How do you acquire these? I'm sure it's been written, I just haven't seen it.

[Gralamin]

I like them Zeta Kai, Great job!

[Nu]

A query: what about FFIX's trance attacks(Zidane's anyway)? Those are pretty much limit breaks.

[Gralamin]

Information for acquiring Limit Breaks is denoted at the bottom of post #4. It was always there, but I've added a large bolded title so that it can be seen more easily.

And as for Fury (post #62), what would you change?

While it is true that as Gralamin said he did make an entry for them, I find it not matching the game as well as I would had foolishly hoped... Seeing it broken down for each of the characters in the game might have been NICE but wouldn't really have fit the D&D classes very well in most cases (Zedane's being the exception). Other than that I think the duration is a bit long since major FF battles tend to run longer (in rounds) than major D&D fights. For the duration I would say 1 round plus one round per 4 (3?) character levels might be ABOUT right... I was especially (and again foolishly) looking forward to seeing Freya Crescent's Trance ability (her jump attack hits every enemy every round and she doesn't come down until the Trance ends). The reason I was especially looking forward to that was that I did up Freya's abilities as a Prestige Class and I wanted to see Zeta Kai's take on it. (And yes, even though I have seen several versions of Dragoons on this board, I guess I really should get around to posting mine some time soon).


Suggestions to Zeta Kai:
Double White should probably allow casting of any clerical spell... I mean in the game it allowed buffs and the rarer debuffs and attack to be spammed out just as well, then again there might be too many good combos without that limitation.... but no parallel limitation was placed on Double Black for wizards. Also "for free" makes it sound like they are not consumed... which would be nice, but doesn't match the game and is probably too powerful. I would just say "May quicken one spell as it is being cast each round, without increasing its casting time, nor altering the spell level."
Lastly, I am SURE it is a typo that you are doubling the Sorcerer's INTELLEGENCE bonus... I would give them Double Black (same as wizards), or swap the abilities you currently have between the Sorcerer and the Wizard.

All in all an very impressive peice of work (from the skimming I have given it so far).

[Hunter Noventa]

Bravo. The elemental deathblows from Xenogears could probably be made balance in the same manner.

[vanyell]

the only comment I have is that the feats you made are impossible to get. after 20th level, it's considered a bonus to attack isn't it? I do not have that book with me at the moment. so to get the 25 BAB you'd need to be a non human.

just a minor nitpick

[PsyBlade]

Actually, BAB increases every other level once epic. So if you were a fighter, 25 BAB is possible by level 30.

[vanyell]

My mistake. I concede the point

[Dragonmuncher]

Phew... that's a lot.

I really like these! You obviously put a lot of effort into making them. So, after getting my praise out of the way, here are some notes I jotted down:

Blade beam, big shot, and many, many others, need some sort of effective range

Stuff like dynamite needs an area of effect, also

(If you don't feel like going through every LB and assigning a range, something like "unless otherwise noted, an LB using a ranged weapon uses the weapon's first range increment as range" might work)




Why do some of them have "you can't take any more limit breaks after having this one?" I understand it's because they're the FF characters' "ultimate" breaks, but isn't that what the whole prerequisite system is for? If someone gets Blitz Ace, a powerful limit break, as early as they possibly can (level 9, I suppose), why would they even want to use something as comparatively weak as Beat Rush?

And if they do want to get this weaker limit break after having Blitz Ace, why stop them? Or are you trying to make it so anyone who uses this system has to exactly follow FF character progressions? If so, then maybe you should space out the the levels you get limit breaks (and bump up the capstone LB's power), because if all of the LB's are part of a "tree" of prerequisites, almost everyone is going to stay on the path of the first LB they take. Meaning that no one will be getting a new LB after like, level 12, because they will have gotten their capstone. Why not get rid of the whole "you can't take any more limit breaks after this" thing?



The stuff about killing 72 enemies, or whatever, seems unneccessary, and cumbersome. Although, it IS one of those "Final Fantasy" flavored things...

Is Desperado a burst, like a fireball? Since it's "an explosive sphere", do the enemies have to be grouped together?

Is Dice too powerful? I haven't worked out the math, but it seems like it does an awful amount of damage. Might just be my imagination, though.


I won't lie, I sort of started skipping ahead after a while- there's just too many! The ff XII limits are interesting, as is Trance. The various blue magic limits seem like too much trouble to bother with, but it's still cool that you included them.

All in all, good stuff!

What about the Aura spell from FFVIII?

Ah, the status effect that increases the odds of getting a Limit. Yeah, I forgot about that. I'll have to whip up something to address that. Thanks for the reminder.

[Kuroimaken]

I may be being stupid about this, but do OPs accrue from one encounter to the next, or even a day to the next?

1) This is major threadomancy, so this thread will soon be locked.

2) Before it is, here's the answer to your question: OPs are unique to each individual character, & are non-transferable. They do not decrease based on time, so they accrue indefinitely until they are spent.
