KMC Forums - TPT's NINJA GAME Combat Thread Version 2.0

[b]Combat Update 2.0![b]
(Ush please close the old one)
First of all, I will tell you the changes.
[I] I have added Defensive moves, because I thought that there weren�t enough options and people needed guidance on how to defend. I also added Base stats because I thought that this game needed something else, some stats that would allow you to further specify your character. I got this idea when Darth Reven said that his char focused more on strength than speed. I thought that other people had more ideas about their characters specifics. Lastly I made minor fixes to the existing templates, Stealth Strike for example is now fixed. If anyone has any ideas of moves they want to see or additional stats or something, feel free to PM me. I like to feel wanted.[I]

Without further ado, the combat thread!

Ninja Moves/Set-up/Combat thingy

This Set-up system will look and feel very similar to Ush�s Matrix one. But there are some major differences. For one, in the matrix the rebels can defy physics and human limit and such. Ninjas can�t. Also I threw out the main Path system because it would not work as well being as I wanted to integrate certain moves into the system, and because a Ninja has a huge amount of versatility. There are minor parts of the path that I am using just because it works well.

Also the combat system will work similarly to the matrix one. But there will be no focus or stuff like that. Instead I devised a Stamina system. You start with 0 and work your way up to 50, once you reach 50 you lose a turn. For those of you not familiar with the matrix game, the combat will be split up into turns, then into rounds. 20 turns per round. This is a huge difference from the matrix game. In Ush�s matrix game a turn is about 5 seconds, in mine it�s about a minute. Also your stamina resets after a round or after you have been exerted out. This is another reason why I made rounds so long. I wanted to make you have to chose wisely about what moves you use.

Ok, enough chit-chat, now on to the fun stuff!

Ninjas have a huge variety of weapons at their disposal. Also they have modifiers like poison that they can equip to their weapons to make them hit harder, or have strange effects.

For your set up, you have 50 points, each thing costs a certain number of points to buy then a certain number of stamina points to use in battle. Also each attack has a base damage. This is how much it hits before the die roll. The die roll either adds or subtracts from you damage. You start out with 20 hit points. This will be shown as �points to buy/stamina/base damage�

Sorry about this folks BUT....

Defensive Moves

These are the most basic defensive moves, they done cost anything to buy, and the stamina points may be negated depending on what base stats you choose.

Avoid-This is the basic move slightly to get out of the way defence- cost-3 stamina
Dodge-different than avoid, this is a more major move, like diving out of the way or jumping backwards- cost 3 stamina
Parry-attempt to block the strike-cost 4 stamina

Base Stats
These are to specialize you character, these points are calculated both inside and outside of battle, For example spped may help you run through a corridor quickly and escape detection, and may let you go first in battle, But strength adds +1 to all attacks that hit. So it just depends on what you want you character to be. Also I might say, to move this object you need level 2 strength, and then if a person on your team has that then you may be able to get what�s behind the object.

You each get 3 points now to spend on your Base stats you may get more depending on how well you do in the missions and such. There are three levels right now (I may add more) to each stat. Each one has a better effect than the pervious level.

Strength
Level 1-Cost 1 point
Add +1 to all heavy attacks on basic enemies that hit. Also be able to lift objects. Reduces parry stamina to 1.
Level 2-Cost 2 points
Add +1 to all heavy attacks that hit. Able to lift heavier objects. Eliminates Parry stamina all together.
