Recently, the AIRSOFT!!! disc thread was started. This game will focus on Airsoft combat, using a simplistic combat and stat system. Seth hasn't made a character for this game, and may not even try as he plans on being the Game Master.

The rules for this RP follow the standard rules for freeform RPs, and the system rules are detailed below, though subject to change.

Character Sheets

Name: The Character's name.
Age: The character's age (under 18 requires adult supervision when using Airsoft guns).
Gender: What gender your character is.
Appearance: What does your character look like?
STR: Your Strength Score. This governs how much you can carry.
SPD: Your Speed Score. This affects your Defense.
ACC: Your Accuracy Score. This affects your Attack.
SKI: Your Skill Score. This defines what weapons you are capable of using.
Inventory: What Airsoft gear your character carries.

Stat System

Each character begins with 10 points to spread out among the stats, this allows an average spread of two scores at 3, and two scores at 2, though other combinations are allowed of course. Seth has made it clear that he plans on creating a point system to allow characters to advance their stats.

Strength

Strength determines how much gear you can carry. Gear is split into a few groups. Carrying more gear then your strength allows gives a -1 penalty for each point above your Strength capacity to Speed.

• Weapons: No matter what someone's Strength is, they can only carry a maximum of three weapons. 1 weapon costs 1/2 Strength.
  • SPECIAL WEAPONS - HMGs, Grenade Launchers (Not attached to a weapon), and Rocket Launchers cost 2 Strength to carry. You can only have one of the above.
• Ammo: Players can carry 4, 8, or 12 extra magazines for their weapons (Total). 4 mags cost 1/2 Strength.

The following gear is optional.

• Grenades: Players can carry 3 or 6 grenades. 3 grenades cost 1 Strength, 6 cost 2.
• Attachments: Attachments for your weapons. 1 attachment costs 1/3 Strength.
• Miscellaneous: Any other gear, these can include full-face masks, helmets, safety pads (knee, elbow, wrist), knives, flashlights, night vision goggles, etc. Each extra item costs 1/4 Strength.
  • FREE ITEMS - Characters can wear standard Airsoft goggles and tactical vests without a cost to strength.

Speed

Speed determines how fast you can run and react. Each point of Speed you have grants a +1 to your Defense. Some miscellaneous items increase your Speed.

Accuracy

Accuracy determines how easy it is for you to hit an opponent. Each point grants a +1 to your Attack. Many attachments increase your Accuracy.

Skill

Skill determines what class of weapon you can use without penalty. Using a weapon of a classification you are not capable of using yields a -1 penalty to attack per point value the weapon is above your skill.

1. Allows you to use Pistols and Shotguns.
2. Allows you to use SMGs and Rifles.
3. Allows you to use Assault and Sniper Rifles.
4. Allows the use of HMGs with a mount.
5. Allows the use of Grenade and Rocket Launchers. Requires a Strength of 3.
6. Allows the use of HMGs without a mount. Requires a Strength of at least 4.

Gear

The following gear has been allowed into the game. As of yet, there is no system to limit what kind of gear a player uses.

Weapons

• Pistols are usually sidearms, most people carry one in case they run out of ammo for their primary weapon. They are Short Range.
• Shotguns fire a single round, but they are simple to use (as a Pistol is) and have Medium Range.
• SMGs allow Burst Fire and Short Range.
• Rifles are Medium Range, and have a +1 on Accuracy.
• Assault Rifles have Burst Fire and Medium Range.
• Sniper Rifles have Long Range, but require the use of a sight (Typically a Magnification sight).
• HMGs have Strong Burst Fire which cannot be canceled and Medium Range. At Skill 4, they have a Bipod or Tripod attachment, but do not gain the benefits (though they do keep the penalties).
• Grenade and Rocket Launchers have Scattershot and Long Range.

Ammunition

All weapons carry one magazine to start (beyond any extra magazines carried).

• Pistols have 12 round magazines.
• Shotguns have 6 round magazines.
• SMGs have 30 round magazines.
• Rifles have 15 round magazines.
• Assault Rifles have 20 round magazines.
• Sniper Rifles have 5 round magazines.
• HMGs use 30 round "chain" magazines, meaning they can continue fire as long as someone continues to attach new magazines to the end of the chain.
• Grenade and Rocket Launchers have 4 shots before they need to be reloaded manually.
  • Extended magazines hold twice the normal amount of rounds, these cost 2/3 Strength instead of 1/2.

Grenades

• Fragmentation Grenades have Scattershot.
• Flash-Bang Grenades cause all in the target area to become Dazzled and Deafened.

Attachments

• Laser Sight: +1 Accuracy, -1 Speed.
• Reflex Sight: +1 on Accuracy.
• Magnification Scope: +2 Accuracy, gives the user Tunnel Vision.
• Night Vision Scope: Allows sight in Dark areas, but the user has Tunnel Vision. If used in Light conditions, the user becomes Dazzled.
• Flashlight: Cause the Light condition. In Dark areas -1 Speed.
• Bipod: Allows a +1 on Accuracy, but -1 on Speed.
• Tripod: Allows a +2 on Accuracy, but -2 on Speed.
• Grenade Launcher: Adds +1 to Accuracy when using a grenade. Can hold only one grenade at a time.
• Silencer: All opponents are treated as Deafened in regards to the weapon with this attachment.
• Bayonet: A Close Range weapon with a -1 penalty to Accuracy.
• Foregrip: +1 Accuracy.
• Sling: -1/4 Strength cost to the weapon, -1 Speed.

Miscelaneous

• Standard Airsoft Goggles: You cannot play without these or a suitable replacement (Full-Face mask). This item does not cost Strength.
• Tactical Vest: This allows you to carry gear as if your Strength were 1 point higher. This item does not cost Strength.
• Full-Face Mask: +1 Speed, Causes Blind Spots.
• Helmet: +1 Speed, causes the user to be Deafened.
• Safety Pads: +1 Speed, -1 Accuracy.
• Body Armor: +2 Speed, -2 Accuracy. Cannot use a Tactical Vest while wearing Body Armor.

• Flashlight: Cause the Light condition. In Dark areas -1 Speed. Requires an action to retrieve from its location.
• Night Vision Goggles/Monocle: Allows the user to see in Dark areas. If used in Light conditions, the user becomes Dazzled. Requires an action to put on/remove. The Goggles cause Blind Spots, the monocle causes Tunnel Vision.
• Radio: Allows conversation between team-mates. May give away user's location if opponent is not deafened.
• Flag: Used in Capture the Flag games. The flag is on a telescoping pole and carries the user's team color. Requires an action to retrieve from its location.

Combat

Few Rules have been created in regards to actual combat, but the following have been made.

1. A die roll of 1d6 determines whether an attack hits or misses an opponent. The Game Master is the one who makes the check.
2. Cover
   1. Small Cover grants a +1 bonus to Speed. This would be bushes and small boulders.
   2. Medium Cover grants a +2 bonus to Speed. This included vehicles and large boulders.
   3. Large Cover grants a +3 bonus to Speed. This mostly falls into the category of buildings, trenches, and foxholes.
   4. Total Cover is the result of when a character has moved into an area where the only chance of targeting them is to extract them. This would be hiding inside of buildings.
3. Sniper Towers deny an opponent 2 points to Speed from cover. They also grant a +1 to Speed for the Sniper.
4. Range
   1. Close Range is the classification of melee weapons, as is, only the knife and bayonet fall into this category. This range is used when a player wishes to conserve ammo.
   2. Short Range is the classification of Pistols and SMGs. This is generally in the area of 10 to 20 feet.
   3. Medium Range is the classification of Shotguns, Rifles, Assault Rifles, and HMGs. This is from 20 feet to 70 feet.
   4. Long Range weapons are Sniper Rifles, Grenade Launchers, and Rocket Launchers. This is anything beyond 70 feet.
5. Firing Modes
   1. Single Shot is the standard firing mode for most weapons.
   2. Burst Fire allows a user of certain weapons a +1 Accuracy bonus, but they fire 5 rounds instead of one, causing them to have to reload more often.
   3. Strong Burst Fire is the only firing mode of the HMG. This allows a +2 Accuracy bonus at the cost of 10 rounds. As the HMG has a Chain magazine, this only matters if there is no one with the user to clip on new belts.
   4. Scattershot is the classification of Grenades and Rockets. Scattershot has a chance of affecting all characters in an area, including friendlies.
6. Status Effects
   1. Blind Spots are the effect of wearing an item that prevents full-view vision. This prevents a player from locating targets on their flanks without turning to see them.
   2. Dazzled causes a player to become temporarily blinded, this is usually caused by a bright flash of light. It causes a -1 penalty to Speed and Accuracy.
   3. Deafened is a status caused by either a loud noise or something nullifying sounds. A deafened character cannot be alerted to an opponents location by sound.
   4. Heightened Hearing is a condition that allows a character to more easily hear an opponent.
   5. Obscured Vision is the result of some condition causing a character to not be able to see properly. It gives a -1 penalty to Accuracy.
   6. Tunnel Vision prevents a character from acquiring a new target without pulling away from whatever is focusing their vision. This is usually caused by magnification or night vision scopes.
7. Area Conditions
   1. Light is the standard condition, it allows normal visibility, but may Dazzle characters using night vision gear.
   2. Dark is the opposite of light, this condition may occur inside building or at night. A character cannot see without night vision gear.
   3. Sunny may cause characters to receive Obscured Vision, especially with the use of certain sights.
   4. Cloudy is a "normal" condition and has no negative effects.
   5. Rainy causes the Obscured Vision condition and gives a -2 penalty to Speed.
   6. Snow causes the Obscured Vision and Heightened Hearing conditions.
   7. Wind causes a -3 penalty to Accuracy with Airsoft guns.
   8. Heat requires a character to drink water more often, which is to be treated as an action.
   9. Cold requires a character to dress in more layers, this restricts movement, giving the character a -1 penalty to Speed.
   10. Resonance is an indoor condition that causes the Deafened status to characters as long as they remain in the area. It also renders radios unusable.
