MEATY BONES

WIP watch the building, changes, and edits as it's developed

WELCOME

... to Meaty Bones, a tabletop role-playing game of adventure and magic that will take you into the world of Pangorio. A Game Master (GM) and at least one player explore islands, ports, realms, and undersea places with monsters, minions, and ne'er-do-wells.
For this game, you will need one Game Master (GM), at least one player, pencil, paper, or their digital equivalents.. Each should have a complete set of dice that includes:

Four-Sided (D4)
Six-Sided (D6)
Eight-Sided (D8)
Ten-Sided (D10)

Percentile (D%)
Twelve-Sided (D12)
Twenty-Sided (D20)

**There may be times you will be asked to roll a D2, do this by rolling 1D6. A1-3 = 1 and a 4-6 = 2.**
**There may be times you will be asked to roll a D3, do this by rolling 1D6. A 1-2 = 1, a 3-4 = 2, and a 5-6 = 3.**
OPTIONAL: USE A DIGITAL DIE ROLLER FOR ALL DICE ROLLS

Dice Rolls Matter

Successes and failures are measured by rolling a D20.
Natural Twenty: When the D20 rolls the number 20, this is an Automatic Success that grants the player a Boon.
Natural One: When the D20 rolls the number 1, this is a Complete Failure that has no effect, does no damage, and, in the case of a spell, means that spell cannot be cast again until the next day. However, it grants the player a Bane.

---

Boon: Use this to allow you or a fellow player to re-roll a D20. You can never have more than 3 Boons. At the end of the gaming session, any remaining Boons disappear
Bane: use this to make a foe re-roll a D20. You can never have more than 3 Banes. At the end of the gaming session, any remaining Banes disappear
Success: On a success, the attack, effect, or spell does its thing. If this involves rolling the dice for damage, the dice become Exploding Dice. This means every die rolled for damage that rolls its highest number, the total is noted, and that die is rolled again.
EX: Hildred successfully cast her spell and rolled her damage of 3D6. She rolls: 4, 2, 6. She notes the total is 12 and re-rolls the 6. It rolls a 6, and she adds it to her total, making it 18, and rolls it again. This time it rolls a 3. She adds it to her total, which is now 21.
Failure: On a failure, the attack happens but without exploding dice and cannot add Stat Rolls to the damage. Non-damaging spells or effects fail to do their thing.

RANKS

• 0) Nekkid 20: No extra dice added to the D20

• 1) Novice: Add 1 D4 to the DR roll

• 2) Adept: Add 1 D8 to the DR roll

• 3) Master: Add 2 D6 to the DR roll

• 5) Legendary: Add 2 D10 to the DR roll

ORDER OF PLAY

ENCOUNTERS

Interacting with the world and the creatures in it leads to encounters. An encounter is where players meet characters and monsters and experience the environments of the world. These encounters can happen in two ways.
The first is called a Social Encounter, where players interact with citizens and creatures of the world without involving combat. This is a freeform style of encounter with no structured turn order. Actions and even spells can be cast during this time, along with some dice rolls with a heavy focus on story outcomes. This can lead to the second type of encounter, combat.
When the Combat Encounter happens, it changes to a turn-based style of play, meaning every player and every creature/thing involved in the combat takes turns. At the start of the combat encounter, the player characters choose who amongst them will roll initiative for the group while the GM rolls for the enemies. This is a Nekkid 20 roll. Once the GM has noted the order in which all groups involved go, the turns begin.

PLAYER GROUP TURNS

The players decide in which order they will go amongst themselves. This order can change every round, thus allowing for a greater variety of teamwork and tactics if they wish to do so. If the players cannot decide, it is up to the GM to determine turn order. Player Turn Order

• 1) Ignore any leftover TP or RP and replace them with a fresh 3 TP and 1 RP.

• 2) Make any start-of-turn rolls or actions
  • Free actions and RP can be used at anytime

• 3) Use the TP and carry out any Challenge Rolls initiated by you

• 4) End turn. The next player takes their turn. Be ready to use the RP during other turns, even during a foe's turn, if the RP is unused.

Once all players have taken their turns, the Player Group Turn is over.

CHALLENGE ROLLS

A Challenge roll is where the player and a foe each make a Stat Roll before the outcome of an Ability, GM Decision, Spell, or Trick can be determined. The Ability, Spell, or Trick will state which stats are to be rolled.
A GM's Decision to have a Challenge Roll will have the GM explain what Stats are meant to be rolled, and then declare the results after the rolls have been made.

TRICKS AND REACTIONS

When a player's turn starts, they have 3 Trick Points (TP) and 1 Reaction Point (RP). They use these points to carry out their movements and actions, which are called Tricks and Reactions. When their points are used up, there is nothing more that they can do until the start of their next turn, where they get a fresh set of points.
Trick Points can only be used during your turn.
Reaction Points can be used during anyone's turn, friend or foe.
When their turn is over, any leftover trick points do not roll over to the next turn. They are simply lost, and new ones replace them at the start of that player's next turn.
The Reaction Point can be used at any time to carry out a Reaction, whether it is that character's turn or not. These do not roll over, either, and are replaced at the start of the player's next turn.
A character can combine actions into one roll as long as their combined Trick Points do not exceed the total Trick Points the character has available. Determining the Stat used to carry out this combined action is in the order of aggression. The order goes like this: Damage-dealing attack action, Non-damage-dealing attack, Non-combat action, or Movement.

CHARACTER DETAILS

THE STATS

Your six STATS are everything. Stats advance in potency based on the RANK chart above.
All Stats start at zero. No Stat can be raised higher than Legendary.
No Stat can be lower than Nekkid 20.

Brawn (BRN)

This Stat represents physical strength and muscular power.

Nimble (NIM)

This Stat represents agility and quickness of actions, but not speed.

Hearty (HTY)

This Stat represents durabiliy and immune system toughness.

Reasoning (RSN)

This Stat represents cognitive abilities, academics, and memory.

Focus (FOC)

This Stat represents accuracy, mental focus, and strength of will.

Flair (FLA)

This Stat represents charisma; compelling charm or intimidation.

---

STAMINA POINTS (SP)

Stamina Points, commonly called SP, represent the amount of physical and mental strain a character can take before taking Injuries.
Total SP is based on the highest number on the Life Dice for the player's species, called Kin, chosen at character creation, times their Level.
EX: Tria chose to be a Chirkin (Bat Folk) with a Life Dice: D6. Her Total SP is now 6.
Whenever a character gains a new level after Level One, they add another Life Dice to their Total SP.
EX: Tria made it to level 2! She adds another 6 to her Total SP, which is now 12.
Taking Damage: When a character's total SP is reduced to 0, it stops, never going below 0. If there is more damage left after being reduced to 0, the character takes one Injury.
If a character takes more damage from another attack while at 0 SP, they instead take one Injury.
When a character takes 8 Injuries, they are dead.
Recovering SP: This requires 8 hours of Sleep to completely heal all lost SP. If a character sleeps for at least 4 hours but less than 8, they must roll one Life Dice for each character level. If the roll exceeds their Total SP, any extra is ignored and tossed away.
Life Dice x Character Level = Amount of SP recovered

SIZE MATTERS

Hitting a target, whether it be an object or a creature, is as easy or difficult as its size. Hitting a fly is much, much harder than hitting a barn. There are 7 sizes:

• Mini: these are things whose largest dimension is 6 inches (15 cm) or less, and clouds of minute things like flies and sand. Those attacking Mini creatures use Master Difficulties.

• Tiny: these are things whose largest dimension is 1 Foot (30 cm) and swarms of Mini things. Those attacking Tiny creatures use Adept Difficulties.

• Small: these are things whose largest dimension is 3 Feet (91 cm) and swarms of Tiny things. Those attacking Small creatures use Novice Difficulties.

• Medium: these are things whose largest dimension is 8 Feet (243 cm).

• Large: these are things whose largest dimension is 15 Feet (4.5 m). Those attacking Large creatures gain 1 Stat Rank.

• Gigantic: these are things whose largest dimension is 30 Feet (9 m). Those attacking Gigantic creatures gain 2 Stat Ranks.

• Massive: these are things whose largest dimension is greater than 30 feet (9 m). Those attacking Massive creatures gain 3 Stat Ranks.

---

MOVEMENT

Creatures move in various ways and at a wide range of speeds. This is reflected by a grid on a map during gameplay. Meaty Bones refers to distances as Squares, which are 5 ft/ 1.5 m on each side.
Rather than listing a character's movement in ft/m, then dividing it by 5/ 1.5 to determine how many squares to move on a VTT or table battlemap, speed is also represented as the number of squares they can move.
This is very helpful as a character can more quickly do another action, and then move again as long as they have the Trick Points and movement squares to do so.

EX: Tria has a speed of 6 Squares. Using her three Trick Points, she moves 5 Squares (1 TP), swings her staff at a skeleton (1 TP), then moves one Square back out of reach(1 TP).

SLOTS

WHAT ARE SLOTS?

All characters have a total of 20 slots available. Twelve slots hold your Armament and Magic. Eight slots hold your extra Gear and Injuries. Pack animals, carts, wagons, etc, can hold extra Gear, and their capacity is measured in Slots as well. When a character chooses their class, the class determines the arrangement of the slots at Level One.

When a character attains a new level after the first, they can choose to swap One Slot from Armament to Magic or from Magic to Armament.

SLOTS BY CLASS

Warrior Armament Slots: 12, Magic Slots: 0, Gear/Injury Slots: 8
Knave Armament Slots: 9, Magic Slots: 3, Gear/Injury Slots: 8

Cleric Armament Slots: 6, Magic Slots: 6, Gear/Injury Slots: 8
Mage Armament Slots: 3, Magic Slots: 9, Gear/Injury Slots: 8

At character Levels 1, 3, 6, and 9, a character can choose to swap a slot between Armament and Magic

---

ARMAMENT SLOTS

These slots hold the gear a character has equipped for immediate use.
This gear includes: Weapons (a missile weapon holds 1 Encounter's worth of its own ammo), Spellstaffs, Wands, Books, Talismans, Trinkets, Armor, Shield, Pouch (can hold 5 potions, flasks, and trinkets), and Quiver (can hold 5 Encounters' worth of ammo).

MAGIC SLOTS

These slots hold the magic a character can use. These slots represent the spells or prayers a character has prepared for the day. These are continuous use slots, which means once trick or reaction points are spent to cast it, the magic remains in the slot, ready to be cast again.
Consumable magics like scrolls or trinkets can be placed in these slots, but once used, the slot becomes empty. These cannot be removed and replaced by spells or prayers, as they are an essential part of these creatures.

GEAR AND INJURY SLOTS

There are always 8 of these Slots, a number that cannot change. These slots hold extra gear and also mark how many Injuries a character has taken.

INJURIES

Any injuries taken by the character are marked in these Slots. When the 8th Slot is filled, the character dies. When an Injury occurs and there is no empty slot to make it in, the character must choose which extra item to drop in order to use. This reflects the character being weakened and now unable to carry all their things.
Recovering Injuries: If a character Sleeps uninterrupted for 8 or more hours in one day, they will get to make one roll to erase one Injury.

Roll 1D20 + HRT Rank Dice to reach a DR: 13 to erase one Injury

A character can also pay to be under the care of a healer at a protected place such as an inn or temple. If they do, they will get to make two rolls and have the chance to heal 2 Injuries per day instead of only one.

EXTRA GEAR

When there is no injury in it, the slot can carry gear.
When an injury happens, the character chooses which Gear/Injury Slot to put it in.
If all the slots are filled with gear, the character chooses which item to drop to replace it with an injury.
This represents the character being weakened and now unable to carry as much.
In the case of an item that takes up more than one Slot, if that item is dropped, all the slots it was in are now emptied and ready for injuries.

The Extra Gear Slots Hold

Any item that makes up 8 or fewer slots can be carried as long as the character has enough slots to fit it. Items will be identified by one of three ways:
1) Number: how many slots they fill (EX: 1 Slot)
2) Stack: How many of them can stack up to fill one slot (EX: 5/5)
3) None: These will not take up any slots, and any number of them can be carried. These are things like paper notes, keys, etc (EX: None).

Types of Stacked Items

• Any number of the same type of coins fills one slot (Copper, Silver, Gold). Any number of gems of various types can be combined into one slot.

• 5/5 Encounters worth of spare ammo. A missile weapon in an armament slot holds one encounter's worth of ammo within its respective slots. No need to keep count of each piece, only its type.

• 5/5 Stack of the same Small Items. These are: Potions, Rations, etc
