Combat system ideas

D&D movement - simple

My movement system - complex but fair, give useful tactics that reward strategies overall.

System details p2 - Agility is now a very useful stat outside of mobility only.

Move half your full possible movement to perform a half move action.

Sprinting - double your movement distance but Sacerfice half your AC, and -10 to any complex mobility action, counts as one action.

 D&D AC - simple, effective, lacks depth.

Start without numbers - Shockwave system

Pathfinder - complex, lacks depth, useful

Armor system ideas

Goal of armor system; depth, reward thinking through tactics, and trade offs.

Prepared / unprepared - -2 AC unprepared versus prepared. When hunkered down +2 AC but Sacerfice a movement action in the process.

Active blocking cost action points for each hit.

Passive AC - less on passive AC but more on active AC.

Dodge is seperate from AC - allow Agile builds to exist but not overall effect as armor but mobility benefit.

Natural AC stacking with non natural AC.

Clash - when hit strikes against hit.

Launch off benefits dodging.

Mallak (rough draft)

Sponge skin - Mallak can hold over a gallon of water in their skin but at the cos...

Movement rules (rough draft)

 Movement isn't that complex; movement speed is different from speed, imagine speed is your reflexes while movement speed is your overall distance you move in a short distance. Each movement action you take cost MoP (movement points), and outside of that will cost your PP next. Movement speed is your overall speed system. Land movement speed; your movement on land. Swimming movement speed; your movement speed in the water. Climbing movement speed; your movement speed climbing. Jump movement speed; your launch off and into the air. When dealing with a complex or moving environment you have to perform a roll + agility modifier. An example being jumping off a falling rock or rocks. When crits on complex movement you gain an additional movement bonus doubling the distance you can go. A high agility modifier allows you to slip through crowds in streets as well, blending in said environment. Falling; when falling every 10 ft you gain a D6 of damage from a fall; you have to roll an agilit...

Drakeith Language (W.I.P) (Rough Draft)

 Shadow Tongue Rules 1 - pronouncing capitals is treated different than the normal word and or vowel, so w is treated as a different letter than W. 2 - pausing, shortening or stretching a word changes the word; see is different than seee in the Shadow Tongue. 3 - When adding a letter to the end of the pronounced word changes it. 4 - verbs are used before and after a word in a sentence, "I threw the ball" is treated as valid as, "ball I threw" but double verb is treated different, "punch punch" is treated different than, "punch" 5 - honored words; these words were made after great warriors, Drakeith's and non-drakeith's that kings had the honor to fight, if your opponent came in with a unique weapon that wasn't seen at the time, if the king won he'd name the item after you in their tongue, and so honored words that don't fit the rules of the language entirely. However expectations are made such as engineers and scientist as wel...
