The One-Toss System

One-Toss is an easily improvised generic tabletop system with minimalistic yet intuitive rules.
The Basic Mechanic
The initial purpose of the One-Toss System is to accomplish all tasks with a single roll of a single type of
die. All actions with a chance of failure are decided by rolling a 10-sided die. On a character's end the
result of this 1d10 roll is then modified by some combination of three factors: Attributes (Physical/Mental
Ability), Qualities (Character traits, knacks, and quirks), and Skills (Learned Abilities) which are
expressed as a number 1-7. This result may be further modified by the Game Master with a situational
bonus or penalty of +7 to -14 depending on difficulty of the task. Challenging tasks are the norm and
occur at no penalty of bonus, Average tasks receive a +1 or +2 bonus, Simple tasks receive a +3 or +4
bonus, Easy tasks get a +5 to +7. Difficult, Improbable, and Near Impossible tasks receive similar
penalties, albeit slightly harsher (-1 through -14). These situational bonuses and penalties are entirely left
to the Game Master, but the player's description can affect the judgment. After the roll is made and all
values are applied the target number is 10 to achieve the slimmest possible success. Now is the time to
introduce the concept of success levels, because game outcomes are improved by higher rolls. These
levels of success go in increments of 2, they proceed as follows:
Level 1: 9-10 Adequate, Lengthy Task Accomplished In Maximum Time
Level 2: 11-12 Decent, Lengthy Task Accomplished in 10% Less time, +1 Damage Multiplier
Level 3: 13-14 Good, Lengthy Task Accomplished in 20% Less Time, +2 Damage Multiplier
Level 4: 15-16 Very Good, Lengthy Task Accomplished in 30% Less Time, +3 Damage Multiplier
Level 5: 17-18 Excellent, Lengthy Task Accomplished in 40% Less Time, +4 Damage Multiplier
Level 6: 19-20 Superb, Lengthy Task Accomplished in 50% Less Time, +5 Damage Multiplier
Level 7: 21+ Extraordinary, Lengthy Task Accomplished in 75% Less Time, +7 Damage Multiplier

Damage multiplier bonuses start at Success Level 3, damage for weapons in One-Toss is calculated by
taking a flat value and then multiplying it by a modifier. For melee weapons the modifier is strength (and
strength+1 for 2 handed melee weapons). For guns or crossbows the modifier is a set value. Both types of
weapons receive bonuses to their damage modifier at Success Level 2 and above when attacking. For
example, the flat damage value for punching is 2, so character of strength 3 does 2*3=6 damage with a
punch that hits (9+). On a roll to hit (Dexterity+Brawling) that adds up to 15 or 16 (Success Level 4) he
does 2*(3+3)=12 damage instead. Hence variable damage is achieved with only one roll that determines
hit and damage. The increases in damage from high rolls represent skillful and well directed hits.

Complex tasks require accumulated success levels to complete, multiple characters can contribute their
talents and rolls to these special challenges. The GM can be creative here, for instance a task to build a
raft after the materials are gathered could require 8 success levels from Intellect+Dexterity tasks, but any
failures that occur in the process represent a chance to become inoperable(10% per failure), under rough
conditions the GM rolls a d10–if the value is less than the number of failures the raft begins to fall apart.
Moving a large rock could have a threshold number that has to be reached in one success level pool
between all participants or it doesn't budge, while a delicate negotiation might have a limited number of
allowed failures. Various permutations are possible, but some combination of time/resource Limit (limited
number of attempts), Threshold (success level to make progress, Level 2 on a Threshold 2 task gives 1
success), Complexity (required total success levels), and Delicacy (limited number of failures) will
usually yield a good encounter. Shorthand an encounter can be expressed as such: L#/T#/C#/D#.

When engaging in craftsmanship the level of success will affect the integrity of the finished product,
while playing music it will reflect the quality of the performance, and in social situations a good display
of charisma might earn favorable responses and bonuses later.
 Character Creation
A character consists of four basic features-
Attributes: Raw physical and mental ability
Qualities: Character traits, knacks, affinities
Drawbacks: Optional penalties, gives points to spend elsewhere
Skills: Learned abilities and technical talents

The costs for all features of a character increase as the value rises. Rank 1 costs a single point, Rank 2
costs an additional 2 points, Rank 3 costs an additional 3 points, etc. The total number of points required
to get to a particular Rank is as such: 1=1, 2=3, 3=6, 4=10, 5=15. This system applies to all but qualities
and drawbacks, which have their own simple system. This is to reduce power gaming and encourage
more balanced characters. All unspent points from a previous part of character creation will spill down to
the lower stages (except for drawback points), the player may for instance choose not to spend some
attribute or quality points in return for more quality or skill points. In role playing terms this accounts for
the fact that those that are lacking in certain core capacities tend to compensate in periphery abilities.

Although 5 is as high as an attribute can be developed at character creation, they can potentially go
higher. Here's a breakdown of what the numbers mean.
Attributes: 1=Weak, 2=Average, 3=Developed, 4=Great, 5=Amazing, 6=Unnatural, 7=Demi-God
Skills: 1=Novice, 2=Competent, 3=Proficient, 4=Adept, 5=Master, 6=Grandmaster, 7=The One

Primary Attributes: 35 Points

Strength:Physical Power
Dexterity:Speed and Grace
Vitality:Endurance and Vigor
Intellect: Problem Solving and Logic
Perception: Observation and Six Senses
Willpower: Determination and Control
Lifting Capacity=50*Strength pounds, X2 for short periods, 1/10th for throwing weight

Secondary Attributes: Derived From Primary Attributes

Life Points:[(Strength+Vitality)*5]+15
Endurance Points:[(Strength+Vitality+Willpower)*3]+5
Essence points:[(Vitality+Intellect+Willpower)*3]+5
Yards Per Second=Strength+Dexterity
Miles Per Hour=(Dexterity*2)+Vitality
Intuition: Intellect+Perception
Resolve: Intellect+Willpower
Close Dodge: Dexterity+Perception
Range Dodge: Higher of Dexterity or Perception
Qualities (10 Points)
Drawbacks (Optional Redistributable 10 Points)
Qualities and drawbacks represent mental and physical characteristics a character possesses. These can be
created by the players with help from the Game Master using the following system and a little discussion.
In game terms these are bonuses or penalties that may arise under certain situations. Almost any die roll
or character parameter can be modified by a quality or drawback. Drawbacks are optional, and in return
for the penalties they create you receive the points you spent to redistribute at on qualities and skills at
normal cost and on attributes at double cost.

The bonus or penalty for a drawback/quality can range between 1-5, but generally only 1-3. This value is
multiplied by a Usefulness factor for qualities and in the case of drawbacks the Severity (how detrimental
and persistent the problem is) factor is added to the penalty to calculate final cost in character points.

 Basic Rules
These are all of the particular rules involved in the game for deciding the outcomes of various scenarios.
These rules are meant to be minimal yet add diversity and realism to the game.

The Rule of 10 and Rule of 1

On a roll of 10, roll again. If the result is 1-5 add that much, if the result is 6-10 the result stays 10
On a roll of 1, roll again. If the second roll is a 1 a critical error occurs

Basic Task Resolution

1:Player declares intent and applicable Qualities, game master declares applicable Attributes and/or Stats
2:Player rolls, game master adds or subtracts situational modifiers and informs player of the outcome

Two Types of Rolls: Tests and Tasks

A test is a attribute roll. Simple tests use 2 different attributes or attribute*2, difficult tests use the higher
of two. Intuition and resolve are offered as A task is a roll using an attribute plus a skill.

Unskilled Attempts
Attempting a Task without any levels in the proper skill means a -2 penalty to the roll for being totally
clueless in the subject. When attempting a Task for a skill that is generally known, but not of the right
type (such as firing a shotgun when one is only trained in Guns:Pistol) one may use the skill type they
know at a -2 penalty. This second rule does not apply to types in Craft, Humanities, Magic, or Science.

Helping Out/Collaboration
Characters may roll and pool together their success levels on a test where teamwork is feasible.
Characters trained in a relevant skill may pool together their rolls' success levels on a complex task.

Contested Checks
When a contested check arises one's roll must not only succeed, but also surpass an opponent's roll. This
happens mostly in melee combat for attack/defense checks. If the roll result is less than 9 it automatically
fails, if it is over 9 it must also be at least 1 higher than the opponent's result to succeed.

Endurance Points
Lose 1 endurance point for every roll one makes (exception for multiple rolls made during a combat
turn), characters will need to get at least six hours of sleep per 24 hour period or lose 1 point of endurance
every night for every hour they miss, they also lose 1 endurance every hour after they've been awake for a
full 24. Characters recover 1 points of endurance per Vitality per half hour of sleep, or the same amount
for every hour of rest. A light snack restores 1 endurance and a full meal restores 2, up to a maximum of 6
points a day. A dose of caffeine restores 2 points per dose up to a maximum of 8 endurance points per day.

Effects of Endurance Loss

At 5 points and below a character feels groggy and suffers a -1 to all normal actions. When reduced
below 0 this goes to -2 and they are may fall unconscious, make a survival test (Vitality+Willpower) at a
-1 penalty for every 5 endurance points below 0. This task is repeated every five minutes when out of
combat, eventually exhaustion will take over. Endurance loss from hand to melee or bludgeoning damage
will cause one to suffer repeated tests to stay conscious. Once they pass out, all damage goes to life
points.
 Combat and Damage
How Combat Works
Combat operates in turns. A turn is a unit of 1-5 seconds. Within a turn one can take multiple actions. The
first action and a single defensive action occur without penalty, all actions after that have a stacking -2
penalty. Let's say Bob the Brawler is getting attacked by 2 guys, he makes a strike and a dodge at no
penalty, but his second defensive action is at a -2, if he decides to try and strike the other man as well it
will be -4 at this point. The penalty goes back to 0 at the end of a turn.

Initiative
Everyone declares their intentions at the beginning of the turn before any rolls are made. Combat is
resolved in isolated pockets of action and initiative is looked at from a common sense perspective. A man
with a cocked gun will get to roll before a man running at him with a sword. A man with a spear will have
initiative over a man coming at him with a knife. In situations where who strikes first is not so clear
(such as when entering melee combat on equal terms) a contested simple agility test decides the outcome.
These tests are isolated between individual incidents of combat, only those involved roll. In the middle of
combat first strike goes to whoever got the last successful hit in, a new agility check will be required if
the opponents disengage and then go back at each other.

Damage Rules
Piercing and slashing weapons double their damage against fleshy targets. Any barrier or armor reduces
the damage before it doubles. Bludgeoning damage is split between endurance and life points on living
targets until the target passes out, then all damage applies to life points. Fire and other forms of damage
apply directly to life points. Falling inflicts 3 damage for every 1 yard of uncontrolled drop. High heat
does 1 damage a turn, being exposed to flame does 2 a turn, and being engulfed does 3 a turn.

Close Combat Rules

Defensive Posture: No attacks can be made this turn, +2 to all defensive actions
Aggressive Posture: No attempts to defend will be made, +1 to all offensive actions
Feint: Intellect+Skill Contests Perception+Skill, +1 on next attack per success level
Riposte: Agility+Skill-2 on a defensive action, half weapon damage if the roll is won
The Charge: Add +1 to damage multiplier in return for -1 to the strike task

Ranged Combat Rules

Avoiding Fire: Ranged Dodge roll with bonus for cover (0 to +7), use Close Dodge at point blank range
Aiming: In return for losing initiative one can make a Perception+Skill task, each success level adds +1 to
the actual Agility+Skill roll to fire the shot. A scope gives a +1 to +5 bonus to aiming tasks
Stability from kneeling gives a +1 and prone gives +2 bonus to one's Agility+Gun to shoot
Semi-Automatic: -1 penalty for each bullet shot after the first, -2 for guns with heavy recoil
Burst Fire: Bursts of 3, each success level means one bullet hits, -3 penalty subsequent bursts
Fully Atomatic:Sets of 10, each success level means one bullet hits, -4 penalty subsequent sets
Suppressing Fire: Anyone who doesn't get under cover is hit by 1d10-7 bullets

General Combat Modifiers

Poor Lighting: -1 hit
Bad Lighting: -3 hit
No Lighting: Roll a D10, only 10+ hits the target. Difficult perception test adds +1 per success level
Handedness: The off-hand receives a -2 to all weapon tasks
Targeting Body Parts
Head: -4 to hit, +3 melee/slashing damage multiplier, +4 piercing damage multiplier
Neck: -5 to hit, +4 slashing damage multiplier, +3 melee/piercing damage multiplier
Limbs: -2 to hit, damage in excess of Life Points/3 cripples limb, excess damage is lost
Torso: -1 to hit, damage in excess of 20 points knocks down
Extremities: -4 to hit, damage in excess of Life Points/4 cripples extremity, excess damage is lost
Vitals: -3 to hit, +2 all damage multipliers

If one doesn't target a specific area and the hit is successful the Game Master rolls a D10 as a hit chart:
1=Head, 2=Neck, 3=Right Arm, 4=Left Arm, 5=Chest, 6=Right Hand
7=Left Hand, 8=Stomach, 9=Right Leg, 10=Left Leg

Projectile Range Modifiers

Point Blank: +1 hit, +1 damage multiplier
Close: No Modifiers
Medium:-1 hit
Long:-3 hit, -1 damage multiplier
Extreme:-6 hit, -2 damage multiplier

Special Bullet Types

Shotguns: +2 hit for birdshot, +1 hit for buckshot. Shot damage does not double, armor twice as effective
Hollow Point Bullets: +1 damage multiplier, affected by armor twice as much
Armor Piercing Bullets:-1 damage multiplier, affected by armor half as much

Effects of injury
Any attack that does more than 8 damage requires a simple willpower check to act the next turn. Any
attack that does more than 15 damage requires a difficult willpower to act the next turn. Being hurt incurs
no penalty to normal actions until 5 health, which starts a -1 penalty that goes up by 1 every five points
after that. At 0 through -9 the character is in danger of becoming incapacitated. A Vital+Will test
penalized by the amount of health under 0 is necessary to stay in the action.

Dying
At -10 health and below a character must immediately make a survival check. This is a Vital+Will test
with a -1 penalty for every 10 points below 0 the character is. Every minute spent without medical help
requires a new check with a new -1 penalty. The character can also be stabilized with a successful medical
or first aid task. After being stabilized a check must be made to stay or gain consciousness, another
Vital+Will check is made but with a penalty equal to the amount of health below zero.

Resuscitation and Medical Healing

A single Intellect+First Aid task can be made per injury, it will restore 1 point of life per success level
obtained. Performing first aid on oneself incurs a -1 penalty. A doctor performing the appropriate
medicine task would give a character 2 points of life per success level. An incapacitated character
recovers one point of life per vitality per day until reaching 0 health. From there on they recover 3 points
of life every day under rest and 2 points of life every day under activity. Recovering without medical care
is dangerous, a character reduced below 0 must make a survival test every day while recovering without
supervision, they regain 1 point per success level and lose 1 point that day if the task was a failure.
Awarding Experience
Experience is rewarded for being in character, progressing the storyline, and heroic actions. A session
may yield between 1-10 points per player based on contribution and progression. Experience may be
awarded on a per event basis (1 XP every significant accomplishment) or at the end of a game.
