Power Levels

Number	Type	Description	Example
5	Subhuman	A creature with below human abilities in a stat has a penalty to using it and usually isn't very good at it.	Goomba
10	Human	This is what the average human can do; it has no bonuses or penalties, and allows the user flexibility.	Human
20	Superhuman	Those with special abilities or who are above normal humans usually posess this sort of power.	Ivan Robotnik Infantry
30	Supernatural	This kind of power is coveted by most and wielded by few. It happens to give the user terrific ability in whatever stat it is in.	Ganondorf
40	Demigod	Only those with extreme power have stats in this range. They are strong enough to fight entire armies, and do not go down easily.	Nova
50	God	The ultimate in power. Anyone with this sort of power is matched only by other Gods, and has the ability to destroy entire worlds.	???

You build up your stats using Power Points. At level 0, you start out with 10 in all four main stats (STR, END, AGI, and MNT) and 20 ability points to throw around. Now then, how much does it cost? Well, that's easy too. For stat point ranges 11-19, it costs 1 point to upgrade. So 5 points gets you 15 in a stat. It then increases to two per point 20-29, three per point 30-39, and four per point 40-49. Here's a chart in case you can't visualize this.

Primary Statistics Advancement Cost

Range	Type	Cost
11-20	Human	1
21-30	Superhuman	2
31-40	Supernatural	3
41-50	Demigod	4

Using this, you can calculate your starting stats and increase them as you level up. You get one power point every time you level up, after all. And, since the minimum level is 30, that's a total of around 50 points, even if you're just starting. Questers cannot go above level 200, though; and enemies cannot exceed level 400.

Leveling Up

This process is relatively simple, save for EXP. Besides that, every couple of levels you get certain bonuses. Here's the breakdown.

Level Up Benefits

Name	Gained	Use
Power Points	Every Level	Powering up raw stats. (STR, END, AGI, MNT.)
Move Points	Every 10 Levels	Powers up a Special Move by one level.
Ability Points	Every 2 Levels	Gains you another ability, or powers up an existing one.
Super Bonus	Every 10 Levels	Does something super-special!

And of course there's EXP. Refer to the chart to see how much EXP you need to level up. You start at level 30. The GM gives you EXP for doing various tasks, like defeating monsters and finishing puzzles. The EXP you get for defeating monsters is usually equal to the amount of damage you did to defeat them, as a group.

Level	Total EXP needed	Level	Total EXP needed	Level	Total EXP needed	Level	Total EXP needed

Attacks

Each Quester has five Special attacks and four Normal attacks. Special attacks are more powerful than any normal attack, and can involve a more diverse set of moves, but cost SP, while normal moves are basic but infinitely usable. Also, Special moves take more time to use than, say, normal ones.

Special Moves

These are your bread and butter. The only reason not to use them is when they take up more SP than you can use, or because they'd be wasteful to use. They have a huge amount of variety. The better the move, the higher the SP cost--they can be expanded quite a bit. From Alpha to Omega (1-5) they range. You start out with five moves and gain a point with which to upgrade one of them every 10 levels; however, they must all be upgraded equally; so they msut all be Beta before you can use Gamma, and so on.

Which brings us to our next point. Each move is made out of Move Points (MP), which goes on to make your move a reality. Your move starts out with six (6), and increases 2 for every rank up to Omega. So, the points goes 6, 8, 10, 12, 14. You choose whether your move deals damage or not, and can use a variety of move abilities on your moves.

Now, once you've got these shiny moves in your head, it's time to make the moves. Either you or the GM may make them; when it comes to making them, if you want to make an average attack move, you'll probably wish to use your first 6 points to decide base damage, damage modifier, and accuracy modifier. This consists of picking which stats to do what; you have free reign in this area, though it is suggested you choose sensible stats. For example, a magical punch would have STR base damage, MNT mod damage modifier, and STR mod accuracy modifier. This usually takes up all 6 points; to begin adding fancy things, wait until the next level, OR you can pick to go without some (but not all) the basics for a weird move.

All special moves take 3 TP to use, and require the appropriate SP to use. They are limited by their range, which starts out being able to hit anything within 10 feet (1 TP) of you. Some moves can be put off and used against enemies when they miss; some heal you; some can hit enemies from far away; and others protect you with barriers. All cost MP to make and SP to use. Your special moves are fully upgraded by level 200, the maximum Quester level. All Smashers, being the representation of an average videogame hero, are level 100 and posess all gamma moves.

And if you're in the mood for elements, just look at the chart below. An X means the element on the left column deals super effective damage to the one on the top column; an O means normal damage, a - means 1/2 damage, and an N means no damage. As for Status effects, they work somewhat differently from normal damage. The enemy must roll a save (depending on status effect) against a DC set by your stats (Or, in the case of 'Cure', 10+MNT+[Modifiers of effects on you]), and if they fail, the effect is put on them. For every round, they may try to shake the effect off, using yet a different save; the 'Break' one, which depends upon the effect as well. Even if they can't shake it off, an effect only lasts five rounds. As for positive effects, you must make the save yourself to maintain the effect; this can get quite steep, and if you try to conjure invincibility, it takes almost all your TP to keep it going. And, they cannot go beyond 5 rounds without having to be recast by a special attack.

Which Element, if any? Fire Ice Earth Electricity Water Wind Fire - X - O - X Ice N - X O O O Earth X O - X - - Electricity O O N - X O Water X O O N - O Wind N O X O O -

What will your Special Attack do?

Name	Effect	MP
Accurate +	+2 to-hit	1
Add Full Stat to Damage	Establishes the move's base damage. Pick either STR or MNT and add that to damage directly.	4
Add mod	Adds the modifier of STR or MNT to the attack's damage, or you can add either STR, MNT, or AGI mod to accuracy. Can only be added once to damage and once to Accuracy.	1
Add Range	Make attack hit things 1 TP more out of range. Must use either AGI or MNT mod to accuracy.	1
Align to Element	Aligns attack to one element. Can be taken repeatedly.	1
Charge	For each use of this, allows you to use more TP to power up the attack; X*Normal TP (Limited by how many times you take this) deals (X+1)*Normal damage.	2
Coin Damage	Attack gains (coins)/5,000 to damage; but you lose 5,000 coins per use of the move.	2
Damage +	Deals 5 more damage.	1
Flurry	Adds another hit. Cost is (Attack MP)*(Number of hits). You can halve the cost if the number of hits is random.
Grab	On a successful hit, you grab the enemy, lowering their AC by 5 until you let go. Continued opposed STR checks are needed for every time (in-between moves) that you continue holding them. Can also be used to grab inanimate objects!	2
Half of a Module	You can buy 'half' of one of these modules. Divide cost of the module and effectiveness by 2, round up.
Spell	Attack almost always hits; 10 + (same mod used for accuracy) DC which the enemy must beat a check of the same type. Doubles SP usage.	4
Throw	Attack hurls the object/enemy, turning their own DR (or size) against them. Enemies may make tumble checks against throws; instantly hits if used after a grab. Deals extra damage based either on DR or size of enemy, and what surface they hit.	2
Use Weapon	Use a weapon's bonus to hit or to damage, or its special qualities. Can only be taken once per weapon abilities you wish the attack to utilize.	2
Advanced Attack Abilities
Ability Dmg	Damages an enemy's STR, END, MNT, or AGI by 1.	4
Ambush	Can be used freely to hit AoO targets	2
Area Effect +	Threatens within 2 TP (circle) 3 TP (cone) 4 TP (Thick beam) 5 TP (Line). Use 'Add Range' to increase these.	2
Combo	Creates another attack equal in upgrades to this one, which, if you hit with the attack this is added to, you can use the attack created by this upgrade.	4
Counter	The attack can be used to counter-attack close-range attacks which miss within the attack's range of you. You must save TP from your previous turn to use this feature of your attack to counter-attack the person who missed you.	2
Critical Ability	Halves the cost of an attack ability when bought together; that attack ability only comes into play on a critical hit. Status effects bought this way always hit w/the crit.
Crit Range +	Increase Crit range by 1	2
Defense Attack	Attack can counter enemies if they miss (w/TP or AOO)	4
Delayed Attack	Your attack hits one round later than usual; however, when it does, the enemy must roll an awareness check (d20+MNT mod) vs. (DC 10 + Attack Acc + Amount of times this ability is on the attack) or otherwise lose AGI to AC against the attack.	2
DR Pierce	Pierces DR.	8
Energy Damage	Deals 1/5 of the damage it'd usually do to enemy SP	2
Experience Stealer	When used against non-Questers, gain EXP equal to the damage you deal with the attack.	4
HP/SP Fueled	Attack can convert HP or SP (choose one with each use of this upgrade) into raw damage, at the rate of 5 damage for every 20 HP and 5 damage for every 10 SP. Each use of this extends the range of HP or SP used by 20 or 10, respectively.	1
Limit Break	An attack used while in dire straits but is more powerful than most attacks. Can only be used when you have less than 100 HP left, and the damage was inflicted by the enemy. Furthermore, you have to have exhausted at least half of your SP. The attack can only be used in this situation; the other 90% of the time, it cannot be used. The attack, as a result, directly uses your SP to add damage to the attack (each SP = +1 damage) and +(100-Current HP) to hit extra. It also has one of these extra abilities: Hit all, Double Damage, Double Accuracy, Perma-Regen (Lasts for the rest of the battle), or SP regen (Lasts for rest of the battle), each of which are used after the attack. It can only be used once per mission.	6
Machinegun +	Hits again for 5 over the enemy's evasion (subsequent additions add more possible hits), but -2 to hit or -5 damage per use.	2
Random	Randomizes how the attack comes out. The following possibilities are added on Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Epsilon, and Omega levels appropriately: Dud-Alpha-Beta, Alpha-Beta-Gamma, Beta-Gamma-Epsilon, Gamma-Epsilon-Omega, and finally Epsilon-Omega-Omega+2. This makes for a total of 15 possibilities. Use of this eats up the entire attack; no other upgrades can be used.	N/A
Tag Team	Use this with an ally's move which also has tag team; the two attacks will be combined and be benefitted by by the synergy, allowing for higher to-hits and damage than normal, adding an extra 25 to damage for each member in the teamup. However, the SP cost of such a maneuver is (SP of two attacks put together)*2 and it costs all four TP to use. Furthermore, the tag teamers can only do this ability on the turn of the slowest member; thus, they have to wait if they're much faster. Each use of this attack on your attack allows another member; however, each member will also need the extra uses of this. So, each will need 1 use for a two-member attack; 2 uses for a three-member, 3 uses for a four-member, and 4 uses each to go on as far as there are members with 4 uses each. The cost of the move increases accordingly.	2
Vampiric	Saps 1/3 of damage done.	4
Barrier Abilities (Require Barrier)
Absorb	Regain 1/2 damage blocked.	2
Barrier	Transform whatever damage the attack deals into a barrier, which blocks as much damage as the attack would deal. When this is exceeded, it blocks the entire attack that broke it, and then is broken by this.	4
Reflect	Allows a barrier made with the attack to reflect ranged attacks back at the enemy.	2
Healing Abilities (Require Healing)
Attack Up	Attacks deal 1.5x damage for the next 3 rounds.	8
Defense Up	Increases DR of target by 5.	4
Haste	Moves the target one up in the battle order for three rounds.	4
Healing	The attack heals instead of dealing damage.	4
Hyper	Target gains 1 more TP per round for three rounds.	4
Regen	Target regains (your END) HP per round for 4 rounds.	6
Revive	Revive a target; but it costs you (EXP from your previous level to your current one) to use, effectively lowering you by one level.	10
SP transfer	Attack costs 10 more SP, which is then given to the target.	2
Stat buff	Increase STR, MNT, AGI, or MNT temporarily by 1. It can also heal stat damage (in which case, the buff is consumed to heal 1 damage to the stat of choice.	4
Purify	Removes curses and unwanted darkness from targets who have good hearts.	6

Normal Moves

These moves are the most basic; and consist of quick jabs, smacks, or the occasional electrical zapping punch of doom. They, unlike Special Moves, are pre-set to the usage of 2 move points, but can be chained together rapidly, for they normally cost one time point. This can be upped to two if you need one extra upgrade, but otherwise there is no way to increase their potency. You start with four, and they can be increased in number by certain abilities. They have a relatively limited selection of abilities. You must choose either between magical or physical normal moves; all of them will be magical or physical, depending upon your choice.

What type are your normal attacks?

Name	To-Hit	Damage
Magical	+MNT mod	MNT mod
Physical	+STR mod	STR mod

What will your normal attack do?

Name	Effect	Cost
Accurate	+3 to hit	1
Damage +	+5 to Damage.	1
Element	Align to an element.	1
Flurry +	Adds another attack in the series.	1
Smash	Multiply Damage by (#oftimesTPcostused+1)	1
Stun	-4 to enemy's AC for next attack.	2
Weapon	Uses a weapon's to-hit bonus, damage bonus, or extra qualities; pick one per use.	2

Weapons

These are your every day, multi-purpose tools of destruction. They can add power to your attacks, be used alone, or just as backup when you run out of SP. They come in a wide variety of shapes, sizes, and types, although only a few will actually concern you.

The first thing to learn is their sizes. Three of them there are; small, medium, and large. Small weapons may be weak, but they are easy to dual-wield. Medium weapons are a bit heftier, but leave a hand free for multitasking. And large weapons take up most of your attention; they're so large as to require both hands. Why does this matter? Simple. Weapons, while helpful, require a certain amount of dexterity to wield. They also have a certain range of damage, based on their size. And each size takes a certain amount of TP to use when used alone.

What size is the weapon?

Size	Damage range	Freedom of Movement	TP to use	Examples
Small	1-3	Complete, save for wielding large weapons.	1	Pocket Knife, Pistol, Magical Amulet
Medium	4-6	Dual Wielding is difficult; slows down things like climbing.	2	Sword, Rifle, Magic Wand
Large	7-9	Unable to use items, dual wield, do things with both hands at once, or even use shields.	3	Masamune, Bazooka, Magical Staff

These numbers may seem low, but they are the bare minimum. Each weapon in that size category starts out with the average damage (2 for small, 4 for Medium, and 8 for Large), but can be improved by subsequent upgrades and is increased depending upon the overall quality. That is, how it ranks up, from Human to Godly. The base damage it does is multiplied by its quality; that is, a medium sword would deal 5 with human, 10 with superhuman, 15 with supernatural, 20 with demigod, and 25 with god. But the price also increases.

As for dual wielding, it is highly dependent of the weapons used and the hand. The weapon in the off hand receives a -10 accuracy penalty if there is a weapon in the normal hand as well and they're both small. One weapon in the off hand alone is always -5 accuracy. If a medium weapon is in the normal hand, then a small weapon in the off hand gets a -15 penalty. If the medium weapon is in the off hand and a small one in the normal hand, -20. If you wield two medium weapons, then there's a -25 penalty to the one in the off hand, and a -5 one to the one in the normal hand. It is impossible to wield anything else when using a single large weapon. This can only be alleviated by the ambidexterity ability, which adds up to +10 to accuracy in the off hand. If fully taken, the ambidexterity ability splits remaining penalties between the two weapons equally. A final note; for every -5 to accuracy on an off-hand weapon there is, -1 to damage dealt with that weapon.

A similar effect goes with weapon types; you can take (under abilities) knowledge of any one weapon type. If you use a weapon you don't have knowledge of, you get a flat -5 penalty to accuracy. This can be negated (and even become up to +5) with the appropriate knowledge. These sorts of things stack with dual wielding penalties. Also, a weapon that is held in both hands (large weapons only) gains twice the damage bonus.

Once you have a type and a size and a quality picked out, you're ready to buy your weapon. However, there is more you can do; a weapon can be enhanced a variety of ways, based upon adding accuracy bonuses. The cost of each level of accuracy bonus is shown below; the various upgrades based on it are below that. The limit is +10; beyond that point, the weapon cannot take any more enchantments. Also, there is a steadily increasing cost for applying the upgrades; first, a 5000 coin flat fee (waived if the enchantments are done at the same time of the weapon's creation) to start. Then, (Enchantment + number) * 1000 coins for each + added on at once. So, to go from +2 to +4 is 12,000 coins on a normal weapon; upgrade prices are multipled based on the quality of the weapon involved, to boot. As is the initial fee.

The weapon can be used with attacks, though that usage is governed by the attack's abilities.

Abilities

These powers are what helps separate one Quester from another. They define not only the Quester's innate abilities, but unique ones they learn during their travels. They gain one ability point every other level, and for Innate Abilities, they start out with 5 points. They can increase the amount of points they have for Innate Abilities by taking Innate penalties; these represent characters who are stronger in certain aspects naturally but, as a result, weaker in other ways. (See: Vampires, Werewolves, Elementals, Higher End Wizards, etc.) Combat abilities, on the other hand, focus on various extra things you can do in battle. There's more to this, of course.

All abilities cost Ability points. Most of them go in the range of 1-10, with 1 being just a semblance of knowledge/some power in that ability, and 10 being the best you can get at the ability. Now, some tiers work differently. Combat ones can be purchased at certain AP costs and cannot be leveled up; Supernatural ones cost twice as much to upgrade; Innate ones use a fixed set of AP (5); Equipment ones act normally; and Noncombat ones cost half as much, and only go in even tiers 2-10. Furthermore, Supernatural abilities cannot go above a certain rank, depending upon your level. For example, at level 20, you can only go up to rank 1 in any Supernatural abilities you choose. And at 40, rank 2, etc. For every 20 levels you have, you can take up to one rank in a Supernatural ability. Also, for every 20 levels you have, you can have ranks in another Supernatural ability. Thusly, they are highly dependent upon your level, and don't even enter play until level 20.

Innate abilities and disabilities are listed separately, and have a "level" thing, which indicates how many points were spent. Most go from 1-10, though others don't. Disabilities always range from 1-7 in their effect. Disabilities, unlike abilities, are optional challenging things which earn you more points to spend on Innate abilities. They require you to roleplay them, though.

What abilities does your character start out with?

And here are combat abilities. These are things you buy once, and they give you various niche abilities which can come handy in combat.

What combat tactics does your character know?

Combat Abilities
Name	Description	Cost
Inspector	Use 1 TP to check out an enemy's item.	1
Quick Dex	Dex the enemy using only 1 TP.	2
Quick Item Use	Item usage only costs 1 TP.	3
Perfect Escape	Able to escape battles instantly.	4
Quickdraw	Take out and put away weapons without using TP.	5
Extra AoO	Can attack two enemies for AoOs per round.	6
Taunt	Waste 3 TP in order to get an enemy to attack you.	7
Lead Feet	Makes it really hard for the enemy to blow you over.	8
Jump Attack	With a STR based attack, you may leap upwards and fall unto the enemy, dealing (GM-assigned number)*(normal damage), depending upon a jump roll, which eats an extra TP.	9
Environment Sync	Sync with the area you're fighting in, gaining possible bonuses or defects.	10
Eye of Truth	Scan something and find the truth; uses 10 SP and 1 TP. Can be combined with smash dex usage.	11

Riposte	People who miss you up-close trigger AoOs.	15

And then, equipment abilities. These are taken to show your character can use various weapons, equipment, etc; otherwise they get a -5 for using unfamiliar equipment types. Each point spent in these adds +1 to-hit with weapons, while with armor, the first 5 eliminates a -5 AC penalty with unfamiliar armor; the next 5 then increases the DR you get out of the armor. With vehicles, it is added to the to-hit and piloting checks, both of which are otherwise -5. The same goes for controls, computers, and gadgets. These abilities range from 1-10, like most normal ones.

What equipment is your character familiar with?

Equipment Abilities
Name	Description
Armor Type	Pick from the three armor types: Light, Medium, and Heavy. Additional ranks in another equipment ability is needed for any cybernetic or extra abilities beyond that of damage reduction.
Computers	Increases ability with computers; the more you have, the less likely you are to reformat the hard drive. ;)
Gadgets	Deals with everything in-between computers, machines, and armor stuff. Usually experimental objects, or possibly magical artifacts.
Magical Controls	Able to use and/or deal with magic-based building controls.
Metaphysical Controls	The likes of Magitek, godlike buildings and/or machines, and the likes of which you may never see...
Piloting	This requires you to choose one of the following: MTA, CAC, Arwing, Wolfen, Capital Ship, Car, Plane, Boat, Space Stations, Hoverdiscs, Egg-o-matics, or possibly 'Other' (ask Metal.) The thing you choose is what you have knowledge of piloting in.
Special Armor Stuff	Pick a brand of armor, or, specifically, the add-on combination on your armor. This applies to that, allowing you to make use of them at all at 5 points, and increasing your ability with anything above that.
Technological Controls	Able to use and/or deal with technological building controls.
Weapon Type	Ability in a certain weapon type; must be narrowed down to a certain weapon main type (AGI-based, MNT-based, or STR-based) with a certain base damage and certain type of bonus to-hit (the stat part.) This, in layman's terms, means 'a type of weapon', for example, a spear, a machinegun, or perhaps a magical stone.

Then there's non-combat abilities. These are used to make sense of your environment, and behave much like equipment abilities--though there's no -5 penalty to deal with. However, the DCs are higher, as the GM is less likely to want you to find a secret item than to survive using your own weapons.

What can your character do outside of battle?

Noncombat Abilities
Name	Description
Search	Look for lost objects, like the remote to your TV.
Diplomacy	Talk to people, hopefully getting them to help you.
Hide	You use this to hide from... something?

Psionics	Use this to interface with psionic interfaces.
Run	Best used for escaping, or perhaps running to somewhere.
Luck	Use this to 'think out' a situation. In reality, the GM directs you around.
Knowledge	Knowledge of... something. Pick something.
Listen	Hear stuff from far away. Just stay away from Navi.
Move Silently	Evade enemy detection.
Entymology	Used to discover the hidden meanings of what people say.
Dig	Used for digging, duh.
Demolitions	Helps you to defeat enemy doors and buildings... and mecha.
Traps	Allows you to second-guess enemy traps!
Bluff	Helps you make lies seem to be true.
X-Zone	Aids you in using chaotic energy.
Disguise	You know more about the uniforms and customs of others. Thus, you can imitate them better.
