I NEED A SYSTEM

Unread postby PriamNevhausten » Fri Jun 24, 2005 1:08 am

No, seriously.

At some point or another, I'd like to run a game with Fighting-game-esque abilities. Reppuken, hadouken, mist finer...I want the players to be able to do all kinds of flashy shit. Problem is, I'm not sure how to use all this in a way that would be decent in an RP system--how to cost it, how to value it, yada yada. Any ideas for a decent system to handle this? <p><span style="font-size:xx-small;">"It's in the air, in the headlines in the newspapers, in the blurry images on television.

Mage: The Ascension. That's a system where your powers are limited by your creativity. <p>[---------------------------]

Oh, yes. The "special attack" ability is freaking awesome for this sort of thing. Also, BESM has the merit of being my absolute favourite system ever made. <3 <3 <3

EDIT: As long as you clarify house rules for how skills affect combat beforehand. The one major error that they made with it: You can get combat skills, but they never tell you, anywhere, how they affect combat. Should you decide to use the system though, I'd be willing to put mine up. :O <p>

I am quite interested, in actuality.

Then again, I am a dick.

Take that as you will.
