BRP Skyrealms of Jorune (Part 2: Characteristics & Rolls)

 

Last Edit: 10/12/22.

Characteristics or Stats are probably where I should have started out with in the first post in this series of converting the Skyrealms of Jorune to BRP, but I tend to be an avatar of chaos... I expanded the list of BRP Characteristics up to 10: Agility, Color, Constitution, Education, Intelligence, Isho, Listen, Spot, Size, and Strength.


Agility replaces Dexterity. I also replaced the Agility roll with Dodge instead of having Dodge as a combat skill. I figure diving out of the way of harm is probably more of an innate thing than something you can train for. Initiative for combat is determined by rolling 1D10 and adding Agility to it.

Boccord: 2D6+2, Human: 3D6+6, Muadra: 2D6+6

Color is a tricky thing, because it is almost like an Isho Stat Part 2. The Color Stat determines how many Color Points you have, and those determine what the Isho Sensitivity percentages are. I gave Color the Luck BRP D100 roll as well. One last thing, Color determines how many categories of Dyshas (spells) a Muadra / Caji can learn to cast from. Muadras/Caji start out knowing the first Dysha in each category they can cast from.         

Boccord: 3D6+2, Human: 2D6+2, Muadra: 3D6+6     

Color Points = Color x 1 for Humans, Color x2 for Boccord & Muadra. The Isho Sensitivity skills are based off of the character's total pool of Color Points.

Constitution is pretty standard. It comes with a D100 Stamina roll.

Boccord: 2D6+6, Human: 2D6+6, Muadra: 3D6

Hit Points = CON + SIZE (BRP optional rule)


I opted to include Education in addition to Intelligence. It also has the Know BRP D100 roll.

Boccord: 2D6+6, Human: 3D6+6, Muadra: 3D6+2

Starting Skill Percentage Points that a new character has [(EDU x 10) + 400]. Four skill categories of your choice also get the following bonuses as well: +40, +30, +20, and +10. These bonuses are added to each skill's base percentage. Humans (not Boccord or Muadra) get an extra 50 percentage points to put into skills.


Intelligence affects how many languages a character starts out with at 100% and it also has the Idea BRP D100 roll. 

Starting Dyshas: Muadra Caji also start by knowing a number of levels of Dyshas equal to the average of their INT and ISHO (rounded up). In each group of dyshas the first one listed costs 1, the 2nd 2, 3rd 3, etc. So a character with an 18 INT and 16 ISHO would start with 17 levels of Dyshas.

Boccord: 3D6, Human: 3D6+6, Muadra: 2D6+6

Languages: *Add list of Jorune languages*


Isho is the name for the Power Stat in this rules hack. Isho Points are based off of it, and it comes with a D100 Empathy roll (replaces the Empathy skill). I'll discuss Isho Points in another post that are based off of them.

Boccord: 3D6, Human: 3D6, Muadra: 3D6+6

Isho Points: Boccords & Humans Isho x 1, Muadra Isho x 2.


Listen seemed like an innate skill, and it comes with a Listen D100 roll.

Boccord: 2D6+6, Human: 3D6, Muadra: 3D6


Both BRP and Jorune have a Size Stat so it's a no brainer to include it. There is no D100 roll for it.

Boccord: 3D6+6, Human: 2D6+6, Muadra: 3D6

(DB is slightly modified).


Spot seemed like an innate skill, and it comes with a Listen D100 roll.

Boccord: 3D6+6, Human: 3D6+2, Muadra: 2D6+6


Strength is pretty much as is from BRP. It modifies the number of "things" a character can carry. Maximum Encumbrance is STR x 6 things (+10 for Boccords and +5 for humans). The Stat comes with a D100 Effort roll.

Boccord: 3D6+6, Human: 2D6+6, Muadra: 2D6+2



I think I'll tackle the LARGE list of skills in the next post.

  1. That game has one of the coolest settings.

    Hey! I started writing a book on how to roleplay. I would like to add your name to the credits. I'm thanking people from the old YouTube RPG Brigade that helped shaped the kind of roleplayer that I am today.

    Is it ok with your name in the credits? It can be listed however you want, real name or Samwise7RPG, or however you want your name listed.
