REFLEX

TEST:

A d20 roll made to determine an individual’s ability to influence the world around them. Includes the associated modifier die specified by the Test. For example, a strength Test would challenge an individual’s ability to lift a heavy object: the individual would roll a d20 and add their strength modifier die (i.e. d20 + d6 if strength is 14 or 15).

RESIST:

A d20 roll made to determine an individual’s reaction to a force acting upon them. Includes the associated modifier die specified by the Resist. For example, a strength Resist would challenge an individual’s ability to remain unmoved: the individual would roll a d20 and add their strength modifier die (i.e. d20 + d6 if strength is 14 or 15).

STATISTICS:

Each spacer has a score measuring their competency within each statistic represented in the SPACER system. A spacer’s statistics correspond to what modifier die they add to Tests and Resists of the associated statistic. 

When creating a spacer, each statistic begins at eight (8). Players designate twelve (12) points to raise their statistics, beginning the game with no statistic above a score of sixteen (16).

When leveling up, a spacer raises two (2) statistics by one (1) point each. A spacer may not raise a statistic above a score of eighteen (18) this way.

Listed below is each possible statistic score and the corresponding modifier die added to rolls of the associated statistic:

01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10
-d12 -d10 -d10 -d8 -d8 -d6 -d6 -d4 -d4 +0
11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20
+0 +d4 +d4 +d6 +d6 +d8 +d8 +d10 +d10 +d12

LOWERING STATISTICS BELOW 0:

If a spacer ever reaches a score of zero (0) or below in a statistic via drugs, modifications, or other stat altering effects, they receive the COMATOSE status.
