 PLAYING THE GAME
ROLLING THE DICE
Saga is a d20 system. Every action you take is based off
of a d20 roll, and adds dice based off of your skills, For
example, if you have Charm(3) you roll 1d20 + 1d8. In
some cases skills cross over, if you have Exploit(2) and
Deceive(3) and have chosen the influence of mind, you
roll 1d20 + 1d6 + 1d8.
TEMPORARY HEALTH
Damage and healing will directly affect health in the
short term, but your health will set after an hour, at
which point greater magics are needed to heal you. You
may roll as many of your pool of dice as you would like
over a day’s rest, but may not recover those dice until you
take a week’s rest.

SKILLS AND
EXPLORING

CHOOSING SKILLS AND LEVELS

Skills can be chosen individually as the game progresses,
or as batches to create achieve tiers.

Each time you take a tier you gain a health dice.

The game is intended for a character to have 5 levels of

social tiers, 5 levels of combat tiers, and 5 levels of higher
power.

Each skill tree has rules on what constitutes a tier, and

how you progress through, though typically skills are
explored in 3s.
ROLEPLAYING COMPROMISE

SYSTEMS
Compromise manifests through reputation, injury, or a
magical bind, depending on the power and influence of
the figure or group you compromise with.

When a player fails an important roll, the player or guide
can invoke late revelation. The information will be given
Players can earn up to 5 dice in each tier, before rising to to the player when it is too late to use
the next, and can simultaneously earn positive and
negative reputation, which the guide applies
appropriately. SWING

COMPROMISE AND LEVERAGE
When a character is in a dangerous situation they may
initiate a compromise to change the direction of the
circumstance.
A player can choose to swing a roll in their favour, and
hand the guide the ability to turn the tides of luck back
against the players in the future.
Each player can only use swing once, regaining the ability
when it is used against them.

The compromise guarantees the safety of the characters,

but comes with some kind of cost to be negotiated
between the players and the guide, as well as the
characters and npcs.

Alternatively the players can gain leverage over npcs

through winning in combat or threatening them, though
this can risk negatively affecting reputation.

HEALTH
Each character starts off with a d8 health die. Your total
health is the maximum outcome of your health dice. The
Guide can award health dice at their discretion, as it suits
the saga you are exploring.

TEMPORARY MAXIMUM
When you take damage your maximum health is reduced,
after an hour your wounds set, and whichever number
your hit points are at becomes your temporary maximum.

When you are not able to be healed you may rest. Each
day of rest you roll your collective amount of health dice,
until you are back at your maximum.

HEALING INJURIES
Each injury has a spell power associated with healing it.
If they are not healed through magic they heal over time.

To heal from a minor injury you must use your health

COMBAT
Saga uses an instance base system. An instance occurs
when an action is taken. In an instance, every character
involved acts, and the instance resolves all at once.

DEATH AND SOUL TETHER

As a character is dying, their soul tether risks becoming
damaged. When you take a severe injury, roll a d20 +

shrinks until it is 0. When you reach 0 and fail you cannot
come back.

If a character’s injuries aren’t tended to, they will die,

causing the soul tether to be damaged if the roll was
previously successful.

If a character takes actions they must reroll the tether

save as they risk damaging their soul tether, if the soul
tether is already damaged and an action is taken, and the
roll failed, the character dies.

INSTITUTION
MAKING AN ATTACK WITH STAMINA
When you use your action to make an attack you roll a STREET FIGHTER
D20 and add a number of stamina dice of your choosing.
Get read on people with stamina dice
If the total number on the dice is equal to the target’s
total protection, you have hit the target.

For example, if the target’s total protection is 18, and on

1d20 and 2d6 you roll 10, 5 and 3 respectively, for a total
of 18, you have hit the target.

PROTECTION
Protection is the number rolled against for one creature
to deliver damage to another. There are multiple factors
that contribute to the total protection.

ARMOUR
Armour is a base contributor to protection, though is
subject to degradation. Armour is a wearable resource.

DEGRADATION
When the d20 rolled against the protection is equal to, or
exceeds the number, the protection value is lowered.
Typically when armour is lowered it is lowered by 1,
unless an ability used states otherwise.

RESISTANCE
Resistance is gained from abilities. Resistance reduces the
damage taken by attacks.

given a mend value. To mend the work you must roll
within 3 of the mend value. You can gain dice from an
examination, having material, and your craft dice.
Skill tree divides things into kinds and adds qualities
Each broken work is given a property, which has a dice
value, on a successful examination you learn the property
and can add or subtract the dice from your roll.

When you roll to mend a work, you roll a d20, plus your
craft dice, and material dice, you can then choose to
remove a dice to get closer to your target, and at any
point can add or subtract the property dice to get closer
to your target.

Say your target is 18, your property dice is a d6, your craft
dice is a d8, and you have two material dice, each being a
d4. You roll your pool of dice which is 16(d20) +7(d8)
+4(d4) +3(d4) for a total outcome of 30. You could
remove the d8, to bring the number down to 23, and
subtract the property dice, attempting to get to 21 or
below. Alternatively you could remove the d20, bringing
the rolled number down to 14, and add the property dice,
automatically getting a 15 or above, letting you
successfully mend the work.
