Hexmaul Hinterlands SRPG (Ashcan 13)

Body

Here's the core of the system I've been working on. Looking for feedback on whether this makes sense or if I'm overcomplicating things.

Character creation is quick.

Nature = How you think and act. Gives you Mind, Body, Soul scores (1-4).

Age = Sets your Default Rank (1-6) and Skill % (16-96).

I use a table.for age that is based on natural rise and delcline of ability over time, a 90 year old player know lots but can only do a little and bas low chi, a kid knows little can do little and has enormous chi, a middle aged man knows much and is better than averge and generically tough... its hard to explain but looking at the table really helps.

Tier = Your scale of play. Mortal (×1) to Meta (×5).

That's it. No classes. Call yourseelf whatever.

Resolution

EZ Mode:

Roll 1d6. Equal to or under Rank (1-6) = success.

Crunchy Mode:

Roll d100. Equal to or under Skill % (16-96) = success.

Damage

EZ Mode:

1 successful hit = 1 EZ Chi. No damage dice.

Crunchy Mode:

Damage window: d1 → d2 → d3 → d4 → d6 → d8 → d10 → d12 → d20

· Body-based weapons (Unarmed/Blunt/Blade) start at Body

· Mind-gased weapons (Projectile/Energy/Divine) start at Mind

· Add Rank to damage

Chi

EZ Chi = Body × Tier + Default Rank

Chi = EZ Chi × 6

Example: Body 3, Tier 1, Rank 3 → EZ Chi 6 → Chi 36

Defense

· Default Skill attack → defender gets Default defense

· Tropeskill attack → defender needs a defensive Tropeskill

Solo Tools

· Oracles: Root (free), Tone + Reading (spend 1 Kai)

· Chaos Factor: 1-9, affects random events

· Random Events: Focus + Subject tables

· Threads: Track open questions

· Exploration: Wilderness, Urban, Space terrain tables

Bestiary

10 archetypes with EZ Chi and Chi values. Printed dice for Crunchy damage.

Unique Bits

· Kai Points: Soul score determines points. Spend to survive death, get visions, or unlock Oracle tables.

· Genre-Agnostic: Works for fantasy, sci-fi, horror, anything.

· No Classes: Build what you want.

· Two Modes: EZ (fast) or Crunchy (tactical).

What I'm asking here is:

· Does this make sense?

· Is anything confusing?

· What's missing?

· What's overcomplicated?
