Death, if you die your ghost haunts the party if in a group can do a psychic check to interact with them 1 per turn. If the whole party dies they cross over.

 

 

Stats.

Stats are dice. Every stat is a minimum of a d4 and upgraded through character creation to a maximum of a d12. weapons count as separate dice and are rolled at the same time the maximum number of dice rolled per check is three.

 

A starting character has 4 points to invest in stats. or four dice boost (permanently raise the dice rolled.) For example, use a boost on a d4 strength to become d6.

 

The way a check works is the Dm decides a DC (Difficulty Challenge) a number between 1 and 12 if you can not roll the stat or higher then the task is impossible for your character. 1-4 is an easy task 5-8 is a medium task 9 - 12 difficult.

 

Health points

Strength dice + speed

 

Example

Strength D8 Speed D6 = 14 hit points

 

Sanity points

Your sanity point is psychic Hp below 0 your character collapses into psychosis.

 

Aether Points

Aether points are spiritual hp points if below 0 when you die you will not come back as a ghost. Aether points are required for espers psychic abilities. Example: cast blast 4 AP from 14 becomes 10.
