RPG Basic Rules


Rolling Checks:
-​ When rolling to see if you succeed on a certain skill or
attribute check, you roll a number of d6s equal to the
modifier given (For example, if you have a strength of 3
and 2 in Heavy Machinery, you roll 5d6).
-​ If you get a 6 on any of the dice your roll for that check,
you succeed
-​ If you get more than one 6 on a roll, you can add extra
effects:
-​ You give one 6 to a PC in the same trouble as you
-​ You gain +1 to a roll of that type
-​ You can show off or impress someone

Pushing Rolls
-​ In the event of no 6s or if you wish for more than one
success, you can choose to push a roll, meaning you reroll
any of the dice that did not show a 6. Once you do this,
you gain a stress level.
-​ You can only push a roll once unless you have a specific
trait that allows you too otherwise

Stress and Panic


-​ If you have stress, you add a number of stress dice equal
to your stress level to your rolls (ex. The Marine has a
stress of 3, so he adds 3 stress die)
-​ Any 6s listed on a stress dice will count as a success the
same as a regular dice, but if you roll a 1 on any of your
stress dice, you panic.
-​ To roll on the panic table, you roll 1d6+your stress level.
Your stress level increases by one whenever one of the following
happens:
-​ You push a skill roll
-​ You fire a burst of full auto fire
-​ You suffer one or more points of damage
-​ You go without food, sleep, or water
-​ You perform a Coup De Grace
-​ A scientist in your team fails to use the Analysis talent
-​ A member of your own crew attacks you
-​ A person nearby is revealed to be an android
-​ You encounter certain creatures or locations
