Character Types

In Clunkey Stories there are four character types a player can decide to create;

Main Character;

Similar to all of these, the name is pretty self explanatory. These are the focus characters which have all the limelight, the viewpoint stars.

Secondary Character;

Similar to companions, secondary characters show up once every few sessions and provide a type of support for various things ranging from combat to plot.

Background Character;

Characters who show up once in a blue moon, while they rarely add any form of support, background characters are what bring life into the setting, you can never have too many of them. Rarely do they manage to do much of anything combat or plot wise, but damn it will they give you conversation.

Extra;

Only want to play the character once? Have a singular scene and never return? Extras are your characters. They offer nothing to plot, however can enter combat as a very expendable unit.

Base

Speech

There are three types of speech; normal, text, and thought. Each are expressed differently.

--Normal: expressed through quotes; "No, I did that."

--Thought: expressed through braces; {No, I did that.}

--Text: expressed through brackets; [No, I did that.]

Lvl & XP

Level:	Experience:
Your level of experience. 500 experience = 1 level.	The amount of experience you've gathered through your adventure.

Experience:	Reward:
5xp	1 Proficiency point
30xp	1 Skill point
125xp	1 Attribute point.

Combat; Basic

Pre-Stage: Setup

Gain Bonus depending on action pre-confrontation

Sneak/Run

You might get a hit in before initiatives

Stage 1: Initiative

After all participants have been decided, everyone roll Initiative, and go in order from highest to lowest.

Stage 2: Actions

At the start of your turn, look at your Action Points. This is how many actions you have for the entire scene. Check the table below for the list of what it can be used for. Once you run out of actions, you must use the common stunt 'Rest', which trades off your turn for 4 Actions, alternatively, you can use the common momentum stunt 'Action Momentum', which can be found in the Momentum section. Cost Action 1 Actions M.A.Defense Stats 2 Actions General Stats M.A.Offense Stats Grapple Stats Planet Piloting 3 Actions Melee Ancient Space Piloting 4 Actions Modern Troop Command Cybernetic Use 5 Actions Shin.Stats -Aaryn, Wuyfreg, Hoan, Dlua 8 Actions Stunts

Stage 3: Reaction

Once an action has been done, this is the target's turn to react, typically in a defense way.

Stage 4: Effects

If the target's reaction isn't good enough, you deal whatever effects, like damage.

Stage 5: Totals

The final stage is making sure you tallied up whatever you had to due to whatever you decided to use. After this is done, end your turn.

Momentum

The constantly changing emotion of combat is represented by the stat MOMENTUM, it offers a variety of effects, including when Signatures, Finishers, and Last Fights are available to characters. This isn't the only use of momentum however, as it allows for Action Momentum, and Full Throttle as well as a handful of other actions. Gained when successfully preforming an action in combat, and lost when failing an action, Momentum is on a scale of -10 to +10, with each offering unique momentum used actions.

Unlocks	Action
+10	Finisher; An incredibly difficult maneuver to pull off, and only available when you're at the peak of your momentum, a finisher allows you to instantly finish an opponent off, no matter how much consciousness they have left.
+8	Signature; Once you're in the lead, you may use a Signature, a flashy stunt that grows your following more than it harms a target.
+5	N/A
+3	N/A
+1	Momentum Boost; For every 1 momentum give a +10 to your next roll. Each boost costs 5 action points. Action Momentum; You're able to trade in all of your momentum for an equal amount of Actions,
-3	N/A
-5	N/A
-8	Last Fight; You may preform a Last Fight stunt in an attempt to turn the tide of the battle.
-10	Full Release/Emancipation; If below your Consciousness, you may preform a Full Release/Emancipation, a unique Momentum only stunt which gives your stats (including phy.damage) a major boost(+200) for five turns before you pass out, and gain a "Restrained Emancipation" negative effect, which places your character in a catatonic state for an unspecified amount of time.

Common Stunts

Name	Description	Cost
Breath	Sacrifice an Action and a turn to regain 5 Stamina	Turn Action
Meditate	Sacrifice an Action and a turn to regain 5 Shin.Pool	Turn Action
Rest	Sacrifice a turn to regain 5 Actions	Turn
Parry	N/A	N/A
Encroaching Strike	Roll before attacking while in stealth. If you are not seen and get a free hit, the damage done is x2.	3 Action 2 Stamina
Tough It Out	Roll Toleration instead of defense. If pass; /2 damage If fail; x2 damage	5 Action 2 Stamina
Action Momentum	Trade a number of momentum for that many Actions	Momentum
Momentum Boost	Trade a number of momentum for a +10 to your next roll	Momentum

Crits

Green	Blue	Red
When you achieve a crit success, you gain 3 Momentum. You're also given the choice to force the opposer to re-roll their roll. On top of these two, the action you critted takes only half (floored) the Actions it usually would, if it only took 1, then it costed nothing.	When you achieve crits of both ends, you have the choice between the following rewards; 1; Reroll your initiative to get a new place in the turn-order. 2; Regain the actions used for this crit. 3; +2 Momentum.	When you achieve a crit failure, you lose 3 Momentum, and whatever action that gave you this crit costs x2 the amount of Actions it usually does. If you don't have enough Actions to take away, the difference is taken away from Momentum/Sanity.

Grapples

Offense	Defense
Roll Strike to grab, If success; doesn't deal damage, but you're now in a hold. doesn't deal damage, but you're now in a hold.	Roll Dodge
Roll Toss, if success; deal phy.damage + Grapple Stun effect.	Use common stunt to 'tought it out' to try and defend; half damage, no stun.
Roll escape to get out of a hold. Can only roll on your turn. If success; you escape.	Roll Hold against escape. If success; they don't get out.
Trade your turn during the hold for a common 'trade turn' stunt.
Roll Push to choke. If success, deal phy.damage + floored/2	Roll physical toleration against push. If success, you take floored/3 damage.

Inventory

Points

Available carry weight. Weight being carried. How much is carried.

Currency: There are many forms of currency.

Weapon

Primary weapons are held with two hands and are much more difficult to hide.

Secondary weapons are usually held with a single hand and can be concealed somewhere on your character.

Apparel

When damage is dealt to you, if you have armor, you may roll it to see how much damage the armor absorbs. What it rolls is how much of the damage it can absorb, lowering it's condition by that number. If it's number is less than the damage, it can only absorb that much of the damage, with the rest being dealt to you.

Upper Armour	Lower Armour	Additional Armour
Upper Cybernetics	Lower Cybernetics	Additional Cybernetics

Equipment

The clothes your character is currently wearing.

Containers weigh nothing, their weight is instead determined by the items inside of it. This goes for the "Count" as well, instead of placing how many Containers you have, this is meant as "How many items is this containers carrying"?

Items are random loot that aren't resting in any form of container, and are therefore loosely resting somewhere on your character.

Charisma, Scholars, & Intuition

When rolling charisma, a character can roll Mental Toleration in opposition, however generally this doesn't happen and the charisma roll is just taken with whatever degree of success it has. This however has it's limits in terms of how the target would react with major characters not likely to break too much out of themselves. If Act is the charisma stat rolled, then the opposing roll is instead a Perception.

[CHARM/INTIMIDATE]>[RP]/[Mental Tol.]>[MENTAL WINS TIES]

[ACT]>[PERCEPTION]>[PERCEPTION WINS TIES]

Typically, you're allowed to roll any of the scholarly stats as you see fit, with them offering various situational advantages depending on how, when, and why they're used. Knowledge is used to recall something, Learn is used to learn something, and Intuition is used for immediate thoughts. I can currently think of nothing that would be an 'opposing roll' for any of these, it's just either you succeed or you don't.

Degree	Effect
1;	You pass your check but that's it, you'll have to make another check for any more knowledge than what you immediately got.
3;	?remembering? When learning something, you gain a specific knowledge of what you're learning. Write it down in Bio. ?realizing?
5;	?remembering? ?learning? ?realizing?

Statistics

While not typical, statistics play a handful of key roles in this setting, while helping keep track of a player's actions, they also help track a player's experience earned.

They are used in some of the minor systems in the game.;

Reputation:	With a minor reputation system, one's fame, infamy, and notability play a role in their character's overall reputation and a person's reaction when meeting them. These reactions offer unique and various events through out the story.
Reliability:	This isn't actually a minor system, this is just the ratio of completed and failed opportunities you have going.
Hard:	Tied to the reputation system, there is another minor system with the stat; HARD. Similarly to the reputation system, this mainly affects your charisma proficiencies, however can also have an effect on battles, with some stunts and events taking the HARD stat into account.
Crime:	Another minor system is the CRIME system, with there being two parts to it. The negative, or red, and the positive, or blue. Red; Morally bad actions go towards the Red CRIMES, which -Criminals (kills) Blue; Morally good actions go towards the Blue CRIMES, which -Cops
Deaths:	Death is a major part of life. It is very important that you record how many times you've died.

.

Stealth

When your stealth stats are opposed by a perception stat, the defender must roll first to see if they succeed in their stealth. If so, the opposer rolls their perception, if higher, they win. If the rolls are tied, the win goes to the defender.

[Stealth roll]>[Perception roll]>[STEALTH WINS TIES].

When in stealth, sneak is rolled instead of an attack, with the opponent rolling perception instead of defense. If the opposer sees the attacker, the attacker rolls attack instead, and combat continues like normal.

[Sneak]>[Perception]>[Damage]/[Attack]>[Defense]>[Damage].

When a successful stealth attack is done, the bonus to your damage is +1 for every 5 points over the perception you got.

[Stealth roll:25]>[Perception roll:10]>[Damage:Base+3].
