After two different iterations, I've decided to create a system from scratch that isn't converted from PTU. Right now it is a very rough alpha draft, but there's enough there to start playtesting. To that end, I am looking for both feedback on the system and people willing to help me out with refining it further. Without further ado, here is the system. Comments are enabled on all docs. Thanks to 13thsyndicate for helping with Moves. Patch Notes 12/06/2017 Updated the text on a few moves Changed ranged damage. Ranged moves now do the same damage as melee moves 12/14/2017 Updated moves. More moves added, and negative status moves all have on miss effects. Updated Feats. Added more feats and more levels to feats Updated status effects to make them nastier. Added blinded Updated Guild Perks with a few more projects Edited by FanaticRat, Dec 15 2017, 07:58 AM.

I started with modifying TheBlackGlove's homebrew and have been trying to make my own thing since. Right now I'm trying to work making status effects more appealing without making them broken. My current plan is to add more on miss effects, but I don't know

Not sure what's going on Posts: 511 Group: Members Member #2,374 Joined: Jun 18, 2013 PTU Class of Choice Provocateur Number of Active Games (Player) 1	Why not just have the status effect occur for one round even on a miss? Seems like it'd make 'em more valuable.

At the very least I'll give it a playtest.

Pokémon Trainer Posts: 478 Group: Members Member #3,564 Joined: Apr 14, 2014 Currently GMing Games 1	Updated. I added more feats, an additional status, and filled out more moves. Negative status moves now have on miss effects and status is nastier. Also added an additional guild perk.

Pokémon Trainer Posts: 478 Group: Members Member #3,564 Joined: Apr 14, 2014 Currently GMing Games 1	Another update. Made the following changes Changed some wording in documents. Ticks are now defined Removed the ability to use status moves with Bombs Away and nerfed the range. Now starts at blast 2 Changed Get Over Here! to proc its effect on a free action instead of a save. Changed Wallbuster to be a swift action instead of shift Edited type advantages to say that steel types are immune to poison and badly poisoned. Updated the text on u-turn, volt switch, and venom Drench. Soon I plan to rewrite the document for better clarity and order, as well as revisit enemy rules and include templates for easier statting.

Pokémon Trainer Posts: 478 Group: Members Member #3,564 Joined: Apr 14, 2014 Currently GMing Games 1	Yes there will be. I've already ran a few one shot playtests but I plan to run a mini campaign sometime next month. In the meantime, feel free to run playtests of your own! I do need feedback from other gms to get more perspectives on how people run the game and what rules are clear or not. Edited by FanaticRat, Dec 19 2017, 12:31 PM.
