@vecna is goddess archtype still works and can we get belly dancer as an archtype

After a good bit of thought, I decided that some mix of Celestial and Supernatural Universal abilities could sufficiently cover most any 'goddess' character someone would want to make without having its own separate archetype. That said, I aim to check out several recommended harem animes (including the ones that inspired the two Goddess archetypes) to see if there's enough sufficiently different material to make a separate "Goddess" archetype for my system remix.

As for Belly Dancer, I have not yet considered it, but my gut says that some mix of "Artist" and "Sports Star" covers this (the former covering many types of artistic expression, and the latter covering many types of physical expression).

[Esprit15]

Very nice! I'd be curious to see this implemented in a game at some point in the future.

[AvatarVecna]

Very nice! I'd be curious to see this implemented in a game at some point in the future.

While I'm not doing it tonight, and it'll be mixed with fluff updates to these posts, I'm looking at putting together a game to test both the Mental/Physical/Social/Unlimited sub-system, the Rebuild rules, and the Upgrade rules. I'd prefer to wait until I have a few episodes put together before dedicating to running a game, though, given my previous track record, but it's a work in progress.

[Lentrax]

I don't know. It makes the system very crunchy. Which is good for some games and systems, but as I understand, the original system was to be rules light.

I mean, if you like it, go for it.

It's crunchier, but hardly 'very crunchy', at least in my view. It's got a bit more going on than the base system, but a lot of it's the same. It also mostly came about because of the community focus on mechanics that was making me frustrated with the players more than the game; intention with the remix is to make it a bit crunchier and more balanced across the board without losing the fluff that makes the game lovely (fluff will be going in once I get it all typed up, I just wanted to get the rebalancing stuff out tonight since it was finally finished). Hopefully, the finished product will be absolutely wonderful.

[jamieth]

While it definitely is crunchier than original, I'm afraid it's unavoidable if the desire is to make the game balanced at all. I love the idea behind the original system, but PvP game with strictly fluff-related limitations on powers is prone to degenerating into "whoever can bully the GM into letting them get away with most bull****, wins"..

That said, your current power template can use some work, I'm afraid; I'd say, at the very least, Unlimited options have to be spelled outright. Asterisk at the and of a line really gets lost, and even when seeing it, it still takes mental power to remember whether it makes "Skill/Mental" into "Any/Mental" or "Skill/Any".

There are also things I want to say about specific powers ("take 8" on a d6 is not doubling the efficiency of "take 4" :-p), but those will have to wait until I'm on PC.

All the above notwithstanding, looking forward to playtest :-)

I'm at one, so I'll do it: Taking 8" on a d6 is not doubling the efficiency of "take 4"

That said, things like doubling the duration of Thaw Out to 6 turns, abilities with "on fail" conditions setting you up for calling them in at any time in an episode can get really messy really fast.

A succinct way of putting it, to be sure.

Asterisk at the and of a line really gets lost, and even when seeing it, it still takes mental power to remember whether it makes "Skill/Mental" into "Any/Mental" or "Skill/Any".

Originally, the "*" was replaced with ^{Unlimited/{Class}}, but that got taken out to save on space at first. Then the whole thing grew so long that I'm going to need 4-5 posts once I add in fluff, so I'll be putting the superscript back in at the same time as I add fluff. The general wording on that power definitely needs some refinement (since squeezing the whole explanation into the power can be wordy to do every time), but I'm playing around with it. Still, good to know the thing my hunch of that upping the confusion turned out to be correct. Something to fix...

There are also things I want to say about specific powers ("take 8" on a d6 is not doubling the efficiency of "take 4" :-p), but those will have to wait until I'm on PC.

I'll admit that it's not a technical "doubling" given that you can't roll 8 on a d6, but I figured that letting you "take 8" 3/e isn't bad for a power that costs 2 advantages. I might end up changing that, I might not.

All the above notwithstanding, looking forward to playtest :-)

Good to hear, and thanks for the (currently limited) feedback. Can't wait to see what you have to say when you're back on PC.

General thoughts
All in all, I fully support the idea behind this revision. The game definitely needs a general tightening of mechanics. Adding, essentially, a second set of attributes allows for better expressing some character concepts, so, yeah, I like it.

2. Passive - aka flat - abilities
(Have a section dedicated to them specifically, since they're such a big thing that getting them “right" is among the most important goals)
As I said, template for wording them can definitely be improved. Here's my attempt:

Honor Student
Base effect:
+2 on Mental/Skill rolls involving academic knowledge, logic, or raw intellect.
Advancements:
+2 on Mental/Allure rolls to appear attractive/impressive due to your intellect.
+2 on Social/Luck rolls when another student is in need of academic assistance.
Change base effect to +2 on Any/Skill rolls
Drawback:
-2 on Social/Allure rolls where you antisocial personality or reputation as a know-it-all/teacher's pet comes into play.
When you acquire this trait, gain a base effect and pick one advancement. You can pick a second advancement by accepting a drawback.

This isn't exactly like your write-up, since in your version, one could take Honor Student and pick Mental/Allure and Social/Luck options, but not the Mental/Skill one; I consider that limitation of my version a feature, not a bug :-p

A question on stacking: if I'm reading it right, on Physical/Skill roll, a player can apply Physical/Skill flat and an Any/Skill one, but not two Physical/Skill ones, nor two Any/Skill ones. What about Mental/Skill or Social/Skill, should the player be able to narratively justify them? Do they stack with the rest? Is the following correct:
“Passive advantages with different listed Class stack; ones with the same Clad don't”

On drawbacks, whose job is it to tell whether they apply? With all respect, I wouldn't trust players with that, especially since, technically, they're also narratively conditional. Alternative: make drawbacks strictly mechanically conditional. Honor Student's drawback always applies to Social/Allure rolls; fluffing it as being seen as teacher's pet is joint responsibility of player and GM.
Otherwise - if it gives penalty only if teacher's pet thing comes up in play - I suspect you'll never see any drawbacks triggered at all.

3. On advancement:

Proposed scheme of “overclocking" advantages works fine for flats (though, in my version, I'd reword it as “pick another advancement, remove a drawback or increase bonuses and penalties provided by this trait to +4”

For misc. powers, though, I don't think it's possible to make a scheme for “doubling" that will be anything near balanced. Frex:
I'd argue that increasing Deep Freeze duration to six rolls is actually a downgrade to the ability, not the upgrade; you pretty much lock yourself out of using allure and luck for most of the episode, with no guaranteed benefit. (If, after the rolls, you still need the skill bonus, second use of DF is much better in that regard)

Final thought: I realise “high-powered" is the explicit aim of this rework, but I can't help but worry that modifiers creep will lead to even greater amount of pointless rolls ( that is, ones when you can't fall even on 1, can't succeed even on 6, or can't win an opposed roll even with 6 against 1) - And that, as a rule, didn't lead to fun gameplay. Dare I suggest… transplanting the system onto a 2d6 engine?

Thoughts on specific archetypes later.

The ability to take the two non-potentially-unlimited abilities is a feature-not-a-bug of the powers as they were originally made. Whatever the final wording ends up being, that option won't be changing.

A question on stacking: if I'm reading it right, on Physical/Skill roll, a player can apply Physical/Skill flat and an Any/Skill one, but not two Physical/Skill ones, nor two Any/Skill ones. What about Mental/Skill or Social/Skill, should the player be able to narratively justify them? Do they stack with the rest? Is the following correct:
“Passive advantages with different listed Class stack; ones with the same Clad don't”

With the exception of Unlimited, you cannot apply the same attribute to a roll twice. You apply one mental bonus, one physical bonus, one social bonus, and all your Unlimited bonuses of the appropriate class. If you have 6 Unlimited bonuses, they all stack together.

Narrative justification comes up when the roll is marked as a particular Attribute: if the roll is Unlimited/Skill, you can apply any attribute as you please, but on a Physical/Skill roll, only Unlimited/Skill and Physical/Skill automatically apply; from there, it is the player's job to convince the DM that a Mental or Social bonus should be appropriately helpful here. Getting one of those should require a very good explanation, and getting both should be basically impossible. On rolls where a mechanical bonus is mechanically appropriate, it is automatically applied unless the player does not wish to apply it; if the player wishes to apply it, they have all the narrative leeway to do so. If a Pervert takes Shameless for the Physical/Conflict bonus, then any time they roll an Unlimited/Conflict or Physical/Conflict roll, it is their right to use their ability unless the GM steps in and declares that it's absolutely unviable in this situation for some reason.

On drawbacks, whose job is it to tell whether they apply? With all respect, I wouldn't trust players with that, especially since, technically, they're also narratively conditional. Alternative: make drawbacks strictly mechanically conditional. Honor Student's drawback always applies to Social/Allure rolls; fluffing it as being seen as teacher's pet is joint responsibility of player and GM.
Otherwise - if it gives penalty only if teacher's pet thing comes up in play - I suspect you'll never see any drawbacks triggered at all.

Drawbacks, much like bonuses, automatically apply; it is up to the GM to decide if the circumstances of the roll dictate not applying the penalty for some reason. If a player takes Accident-Prone and decides to take the Physical/Skill penalty, there should be virtually no Physical/Skill roll it does not apply to - although whether it applies to a Universal/Skill roll is up to the GM. This version of the game requires a more involved GM who's less likely to allow mechanical benefits than before, but within the automatic benefits they've accrued, players have free reign.

3. On advancement:

Proposed scheme of “overclocking" advantages works fine for flats (though, in my version, I'd reword it as “pick another advancement, remove a drawback or increase bonuses and penalties provided by this trait to +4”

Options for advancing a passive are basically "increase the bonuses/penalties by 2 each" or "change whatever your choice was to 'one Unlimited and two bonuses' from whatever it was before". The reason I don't just say "increase the bonuses/penalties to +4" is to specifically allow long-running characters to potentially upgrade the same power multiple times.

For misc. powers, though, I don't think it's possible to make a scheme for “doubling" that will be anything near balanced. Frex:
I'd argue that increasing Deep Freeze duration to six rolls is actually a downgrade to the ability, not the upgrade; you pretty much lock yourself out of using allure and luck for most of the episode, with no guaranteed benefit. (If, after the rolls, you still need the skill bonus, second use of DF is much better in that regard)

Intention was that a power that's doubled up is essentially equivalent to taking the power twice; with a couple exceptions, this obviously isn't the case, but going over the existing powers, I can see some definitely flaws with my current approach. I'm probably gonna redo the upgrade rules, with the power-stacking option basically being "when you take a new power, you can choose to take a power that is mechanically identical to a power you currently possess, including taking a power you've already taken a second time", which is probably less clunky an explanation and more generally balanced.

Final thought: I realise “high-powered" is the explicit aim of this rework, but I can't help but worry that modifiers creep will lead to even greater amount of pointless rolls ( that is, ones when you can't fall even on 1, can't succeed even on 6, or can't win an opposed roll even with 6 against 1) - And that, as a rule, didn't lead to fun gameplay. Dare I suggest… transplanting the system onto a 2d6 engine?

For Unopposed rolls, there is no rule saying the DM has to stick to "D5/D7/D9" as being standard; they can measure the Unopposed DCs based on how difficult they think it should be for their group (since the difference between D7 and D10 isn't exactly mechanically defined in this system). For opposed rolls...people are competing. Getting a +3-5 to a variety of rolls isn't difficult in this system, whereas getting a +10 all the time is much harder.

Still, it's definitely something I'm concerned about. Part of why I'm going to be playtesting it; if, at the end of episode one, one player has found enough exploits to let them run roughshod over the rest of the group, I'll probably knock it up to a 2d6 system where random luck is as relevant as bonuses.

Thanks for all the feedback!

I understand that the choice not to select the upgradeable power was intentional, I just don't understand the reasoning behind it, since it, for example, lets one make a Honor Student who is great at looking smart (Mental/Allure), and is adept at tutoring others (Social/Luck), but isn't actually that good at studying herself (no Mental/Skill). Seems weird :-)

Feels like a perfectly good character concept, maybe even one you'd find in an anime.

Seems weird :-)

Speaking as someone who was just smart enough to enroll in Honors classes without actually being smart enough to deserve the credits they somehow earned him, I can assure you that it's entirely possible to look smarter than you actually are by just being an Honor Student. I picked up a lot of good habits from those classes, which certainly helped me when I was helping out my friends or project partners, but I got left behind in that class a lot because I just couldn't keep up sometimes.

And it starts making a bit more sense when you look at other archetypes beyond the example power. Imagine a Chuunibyou with Rule Of Cool, who has the Allure and Skill bonuses, but not the Conflict bonus; sure, he spends a lot of time running and jumping around, and his fighting moves look super-cool, but they're not actually all that effective. Then check out Iinchou's Representative, where getting elected class president doesn't necessarily make you the smartest candidate who polled for the position...or the School Journalist's Silver Tongue, where you can play a character with a reputation as a sleezier journalist...or the Sukeban's Delinquent, except they're all bark and not bite...or Yandere's Crazy Dangerous where you're not violent, just a creepy stalker...or Extraterrestrial's Otherworldly, but turns out you're more 'cosmic horror' than 'cosmic beauty'...or maybe you're a Phantom with Polterguist who's less prank-prone and more just haunt-happy.

The option is there to allow for a bit more versatility, and I feel that taking out that option because it's an edge case doesn't increase the usability of the system enough to make up for the lost options.

Well, jsut because you're not going to make a PDF doesn't mean there won't be one :-) Just saying.~

Fair enough. I would hope they wait until I get the fluff stuff put in and get everything cleaned up before whatever helpful soul that was decided to put it together.

The game balance of the original game was mostly on-par with the rest, there were just certain powers that were noticeably less/more broad, or less/more abuseable; the shift in practical game balance is less the fault of bad theoretical game balance and more the fault of the community growing gradually more competitive as time went on - which isn't necessarily a bad thing, it just means that a rules revision with a stricter approach to balance might be appreciated by some. I still think the original system is super-fun though, and I've got a couple characters I play even though they suck pretty hard just because they're fun characters.

Oh yeah, it was definitely getting it, I love Wingmate! Err, sort of, anyway. I liked the idea of the original archetype ("it's like School Queen, except now being popular to the point of having a cohort is an archetype rather than a single advantage!"), but I have to admit I found the execution a bit underwhelming when I first saw it. It wasn't really bad, it's just that the mechanics didn't really...I dunno, grab me nearly as much as the fluff did. Hopefully once I've got the fluff up for the new version, it'll come together really well.

Haha, true.

Edit: I generally find the new fluff rather stiff, but I do like this one.

Stubborn Perseverance: When life gives you lemons, you punch life in the face, hit life over the head with a chair, and squeeze the lemons over life's wounds. Twice per episode, you may make a Conflict roll in place of a Luck roll.

[Sgt. Cookie]

Few things, Vecna:
Make sure to use "you're" and "your" properly. I can see one instance in "Luck 'O The Irish" at least. "that you're luck is anything but average".

Same thing for "There", "Their" and "They're". Yandere's Aggrivated Misery, for instance, has "their" when you mean "the're".

And lastly it's Senpai, with an N, not an M. (Ignoring that fact that the word "Senpai" doesn't actually exist in the English language, of course, but it's generally accepted that it's spelt with an N.)


As an aside, here's an extra pre-con character for later use. And this one totally isn't at the center of a s**tstorm about the actions of a popular streaming website. Uses the "Normal" rebuild/upgrade rules.

[GM_3826]

I have a pre-constructed character, too, but I'm saving them for myself. I will tell you how they plan to work after Episode 4, though. I really wanted to play a Tsundere, but couldn't really be satisfied with the crunch and fluff at the same time. Now I have one that works.

They're basically a supergenius. Unlimited Tech Expert, which since I'm planning on playing this character in a non-realistic game means that they can build practically anything. Thanks to Insistently Difficult and Romantic At Heart they're fair hands at Allure and Conflict rolls, too. Genius Intellect is also a thing since it lets them show off, which they want to do. Add on Sharp Wit, which lets them gain a +3 on an Allure or Conflict roll, which as it involves Skill they're almost bound to pass already. Double up all the passive advantages, so you can probably get +5 on most rolls, +9 (!!) if you take a Skill roll with any other options available. Also take Improvised Solutions, for more Skill and Conflict bonuses, in addition to Less is More and Calculated Odds, allowing them to substitute their weakest roll with their strongest one, and even pass Physical rolls if they are forced to make one. (You could probably build this character at this point, but in what order do you take the advantages? And what powers do you take? Hmm...)

Also in case it wasn't clear, this is probably going to be for a game that doesn't allow Quirks. Like the one that's testing these mechanics. Maybe.

I'm assuming builds this broken are going to be rather standard, though, since that seems to be the intention.

[AvatarVecna]

Few things, Vecna:
Make sure to use "you're" and "your" properly. I can see one instance in "Luck 'O The Irish" at least. "that you're luck is anything but average".

Same thing for "There", "Their" and "They're". Yandere's Aggrivated Misery, for instance, has "their" when you mean "the're".

Dang nab it! This is one of the flaws of my self-beta'ing process: Google never catches homophones when they're read out loud. I'll go back and use Ctrl-F to find and fix all the instances I can locate.

And lastly it's Senpai, with an N, not an M. (Ignoring that fact that the word "Senpai" doesn't actually exist in the English language, of course, but it's generally accepted that it's spelt with an N.)

I've seen both used, and I have no idea which is correct. Putting the actual word (せんぱい or alternatively 先輩) into Google Translate returns "Senpai" as the pronunciation, and "Senior" as the direction translation, and Wikipedia defaults to "Senpai" (although to continue the confusion, it adds that Sempai" is an alternate). That said, multiple answers I've found indicate either A) they're interchangeable, B) Senpai is correct but Sempai is acceptable, C) Sempai is correct but Senpai is acceptable, D) Senpai is how you write it in Romaji, but Sempai is how you say it, and E) Sempai is correct, but a lot of people use the direct translation of "Senpai". Until I'm corrected by somebody with Japanese as their first language, I'll continue using Sempai because I feel it sounds and looks better.

As an aside, here's an extra pre-con character for later use. And this one totally isn't at the center of a s**tstorm about the actions of a popular streaming website. Uses the "Normal" rebuild/upgrade rules.

Ooh, many thanks! I'll add it shortly.

[AvatarVecna]

I generally find the new fluff rather stiff, but I do like this one.

Apologies, I'm not great at fluff, but I'm doing my best. If people have ideas for fluff stuff, that's what I'm working on at the moment, and whether it's for something I've yet to do or something I've already done, I appreciate all feedback.

[Ninja_Prawn]

I can see one instance in "Luck 'O The Irish" at least. "that you're luck is anything but average".

It's almost impressive that you managed to mess that up, seeing as how I had it correct in the original version...

As for senpai/sempai, there are a couple of native Japanese-speakers on this forum that might be willing to help clarify it. Gastronomie, for example.
