CHAOS RPG

Whenever some force acts upon a player, where it is likely to cause injury:

A NUMBER OF DICE are rolled which reflect the level of INJURY*

This Roll must be beaten by an ENDURANCE ROLL

SUCCESS means they are unscathed

FAILURE means they are INJURED by the DIFFERENCE in rolls

It is cumulatively recorded as INJURY.

*Using the Usual Dice Tables

INJURY from FALLING

Falling inflicts 2 dice for the first 3 metres fallen. Then an extra die every 3 metres after that.

Extra dice can be added for such things as jagged rocks at the bottom etc

Whenever a weapon is used against a player, where it is likely to cause injury:

Each WEAPON has a number of Damage DICE it will roll based on the level of typical damage it causes

This Damage DICE Roll must be beaten by an ENDURANCE ROLL

SUCCESS means they are unscathed

FAILURE means they are INJURED by the DIFFERENCE between the Rolls

It is cumulatively recorded as INJURY.

IN ALL CASES – THE NEXT TIME A CHARACTER IS INJURED THEY

MUST BEAT THE NEW DAMAGE ROLL PLUS THEIR CUMULATIVE INJURIES*

UNTIL THERE IS NO POSSIBILITY OF DOING SO

AT WHICH TIME THEY ARE DEAD

*Until those injuries are treated or healed

Cumulative Injury affects performance – decreasing a character’s Attributes

<15: The level of Injury is minor, but may require first aid

16 – 30: The character is more seriously injured. All ATTRIBUTES at -1.

31 – 40: The character is severely injured. All ATTRIBUTES at a further – 2

40+ : The character is critically injured. All ATTRIBUTES at -1 for each point above 40.

Whenever any ATTRIBUTE reaches 0 – the character is dead.

Injury Example:

Character A is walking on a treacherous mountain path when there is a rock fall above. One large rock in particular is hurtling their way.

It has a High degree of “accuracy” – it’s heading straight for them – so 5 DICE. They attempt to Evade, a Skill they have at Very High level – 6 Dice.

However, it is judged that the narrowness of the path restricts their ability, so a -1 die penalty is imposed – the character only rolls 5 Dice. The rock rolls 20, the player only rolls 11.

The rock hits them, They must now beat the Damage Dice of the rock.

It is a large rock but hasn’t fallen far and is estimated at an Above Average level of Damage – 4 Dice

The character is only of Average Endurance – 3 Dice

The rock rolls 22 – they roll 11 – they have sustained 11 Points of Injury – which they record

Soon after, they trip and fall on the treacherous path – causing a potential Average Injury – 3 Dice

They must now beat this Injury Roll plus the accumulated Injury of 11 with their Endurance

If they don’t then the difference in rolls is added to the 11 points of Accumulated Injury and this new total will be added to any subsequent Injury Rolls

If the level of Accumulated Injury in this instance gets above 18 – the character will die because beating anything higher with only 3 Endurance Dice is impossible
