He asked the question wrong. He meant the starting max for Asari at character creation. Every other skill have a min/max value. Biotic doesn't. It was stated somewhere in some paragraph that non-asari are capped at 2 but it says nothing about Asari. Considering how hard is Dice advancement after character creation a 2D cap for non-Asari biotics is harsh.
Also - how many skill points is normal to be awarded per session/quest? I couldn't find any guidelines. Advancing 1 die in a strong attribute costs about 90-120 skill points which is quite a lot.
Think on it if we get her without magic if we find someone who checks her the will be more likely to believe her that we are not evil sex dude and we can use her as a front s we can enslave even more by using the tendency of trust towards females a perfect way to trick guys cause the protect females instinct and girls since they will want more companionship along with a guy to protect them. That’s always a matter of taste, but here’s a few personal suggestions (in no particular order):. Best free RPG system: Open D6. Best universal RPG system: Savage Worlds. Most widely played RPG system: D&D 5th Edition.
Talent perquisites are also quite costly. It's 4D for Asari.Yes well D6 systems are built that way so advancing Attributes is really hard. In a normal d6 system you wold roll your attribute after spending the xp on it's advance and see if the attribute is raised or your xp is lost, so I think the rules are not that 'harsh' in my version.Im not changeing anything if you don't like the rules change them and see how unbalaced the game becomes, when all your players start throwing shit arround them with a bare thought and kill everyone with their stare.As for XP awarding 3 (poor) to 15 (excellent) XP per session.Advancig one die of attribute costs the number before the D times 10 for every pi in a die. So from 1D to 2D is 60xp, from 2D to 3D is 90XP and so on AND you cannot go above your races maximum.Before you ask why just trust me smarter people than me have developed d6 systems for years. If you think it does not fit your game/gm style just pick another. There are plenty of the arround (like in the link section). Thank you for you quick reply.
To be honest I'm not familiar with the Core d6 which I guess can be a problem. So to be clear - the caps to the right are the races maximums in general not just during character creation? There is no way to get a human with 5D strength for example even if he pays with skill points? Exception is biotic which does not have a maximum cap but have a cap at character creation?P.S May I suggest a little rework on the way you present the stats? Instead of having a Min/Max values and distribute 17/18 dices have a Starting/Max values and distribute 5/6 dices. That way you will avoid confusion for people who aren't familiar with d6 Core.
And I think you add Biotic there as well as this is something important during character creation. NuzHi, been playing you rules for a little while now and a couple of questions, the first is about the Combat Shields and the Shield skill.In the Shield Skill description it states 'When a character uses the shield the DV is raised by the Shield skill number.' Which DV (I assume this means Defence Value) is that? Or all of them?
Or is it a typo and should read DR rather than DV?Also, in the descriptions for the Motorized Joints & Crusher Exoskeleton Armour Mods state that the Mod increases the Brawling Damage.Shouldn't that include Melee Damage as well?When attacking with either Melee or Brawling, they both use the same damage dice and to be fair they're pretty much doing the same thing except that one uses a lump of material for extra hurt.:-)Thanks for writing an entertaining set of rules.:-). I saw something and am wondering if it is a typo and if it isn't I wouldn't mind a little bit of an extended description of why. But under the bureaucracy skill, one of the modifiers is if you are in good standing or well liked by the bureaucracy and the modifier is +5 or more.
Suggesting that the more well liked you are by a bureaucracy the harder it is to get information from it.btw, thank you for putting in the time to make this game, I love the mass effect universe and have been wanting to play a proper rpg designed after it. MatthewMe and my friends have been playing this and a few issues came up: 1) the way melee damage works wasn't clearly explained and I had to look at some of the enemies who use melee attacks (like husks).
It would be nice to have a more clear explanation written. 2) with your alternate rules for starting characters with 9 ranks in skills, I would like to see if there is an equal bump in specialized skill rank maximum at character creation.
3) created characters tend to look very similar once players get more character points as there are a lot of talents tied to a handful of the plethora of skills you have listed. A possible solution would be to add more talents (passive or otherwise) to different skills and/or change or add skill requirements to existing talents. 4) the Grenade Launcher heavy weapon has an option for firing gass grenades, but there's no support for that option.
Can we get some more types of gas that have different effects? 5) the carnage talents reads that it keeps going until the shotgun specialist hits a target, even if they activated it several rounds ago. It would also make sense to have the explosion as a 2 or 5 meter radius from the target impact instead of just to the left or right. 6) there is no support for SMG specialists in talents so nobody in my group wants to use them. Can we get a talent specifically for SMGs or have an SMG specialists hat access to overkill or marksman? It seems, when rolling for credits at creation, it's almost impossible to roll high enough to have the credits needed to obtain a biotic implant, which is listed as 15,000 credits, without taking points in Business, Gambling, and Value.

That has to be a typo. Someone creating a biotic human would have to roll all 6's with 4D Knowledge and 6 points in each relevant skill, to have exactly 15,000 credits to afford the implant, and would be unable to buy anything else in addition.Under the current system of upgrade points, a player could have a biotic implant and Wetware installed and an arm and shoulder replaced and be at the threshold for safe upgrades. How would it be unsafe to have a foot replaced afterward? How should it be possible to roll so poorly that the biotic character with an implant and wetware inside his head (like many other biotics the galaxy over) would become insane to the point they become unplayable? In fact I see nothing there besides the biotic stuff that messes the brain of the patient. I have this problem with Shadowrun too. Unless it's possible that the replacement parts could send a binary message back through the synapses that reads 'kill your parents' or something (doubtful), I have a hard time believing that augmenting without having to get remotely near the brain even has a chance to make you go insane because you already have two robot legs.
As for the first part. Seriously don't get attached to the numbers. Just make a character that makes you and you GM comfortable. The rules are just some guidelines and not set in stone.
I wrote them for my players because I didn't want to have super soldiers fucking everyone up from the get go.As for the second. Yes, that was the idea. To not have bulletproof psycho robocops fucking up the galaxy. But hey, if You need that in Your campaign feel free to change those numbers also. But as you might notice in Mass Effect games no one goes overboard with the implants and the reason is that they do mess with your head.Like stated in the rules, somewhere.
Feel free to change them and have fun.

The default die of this roll type is d10, so 4s4 can be used as a shorthand for 4d10s4. Successes with multiple dice:Some systems use the cumulative result of two or more dice to determine successes, here the sum of several diceis compared to the difficulty rating. To emulate this, you can group dice like this:Example:, meaning 2d6 will be rolled and 4(+) is a success.Example:, here a d8 and a d6 will be rolled, a sum of 10(+) is a success, the entire check is rolled 5 times. Maximum possible die result counts as two successes: to see how many dice rolled equal to or greater than some number, use 'X'.Example.
