AIRSOFT!!!

From Egs Mayhem

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 discussion thread is located at AIRSOFT!!! on Keenspot.

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

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 unless otherwise noted.
  • FREE ITEMS - Characters can wear Standard Airsoft Goggles, Tactical Vests, and carry Flags 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 Attachments decrease speed.

Accuracy

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

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 Attack.
• 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

Grenades come in packs of three, players must select either 3 Fragmentation grenades, or 3 Flash-bang grenades. They cannot mix and match.

• Fragmentation Grenades have Scattershot.

Combat

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

1. An attacker receives a die roll of 1d6 plus the player's Attack score while a target receives a die roll of 1d6 plus the player's Defense score to determine whether an attack hits or misses. The Game Master is the one who makes the check.
2. Turn Order is determined by a roll of 1d6 plus the player's Speed score. The Game Master is the one who makes the check.
3. Actions
   1. Characters get three actions during a turn.
   2. Move actions are when the characters advance through the field, characters can generally move around 25 feet an action. (One Hex is 25 feet.)
   3. Attack actions are firing a weapon or attacking with a knife.
   4. Normal actions are anything else.
      1. Reloading a weapon.
      2. Retrieving an item or weapon from its location on your person. (Most Miscellaneous items require this.)
      3. Equipping a new attachment, or removing one.
      4. Turning in a Hex.
4. Hex Map
   1. A character's Forward view is the direction of their last travel unless they turned in their Hex.
   2. A character's Flanks are the Hexes on either side of their forward view.
   3. A character's Rear are the three squares behind them.
   4. One Hex represents 25 feet.
   5. 6 players may occupy a single Hex.
5. Cover
   1. Small Cover grants a +1 bonus to Defense. This would be bushes and small boulders.
   2. Medium Cover grants a +2 bonus to Defense. This included vehicles and large boulders.
   3. Large Cover grants a +3 bonus to Defense. 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.
6. Sniper Towers deny an opponent 2 points to Defense from cover. They also grant a +1 to Defense for the Sniper.
7. Range
   1. Close Range is the classification of melee weapons, as is, only the knife and bayonet fall into this category. Within the same Hex is Close Range. (6 players may occupy a single Hex at a time.)
   2. Short Range is the classification of Pistols and SMGs. This is out to one Hex.
   3. Medium Range is the classification of Shotguns, Rifles, Assault Rifles, and HMGs. This is out to two Hexes.
   4. Long Range weapons are Sniper Rifles, Grenade Launchers, and Rocket Launchers. This is out to three Hexes.
8. 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.
9. 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 Attack.
   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. It negates the Deafened Status.
   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 Attack.
   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.

    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.

Point Improvement System

The Point Improvement system allows a character to improve their stats as they become more experienced through Airsoft games.

Point Usage

Points may be used in a few ways.

• Earning 10 points, a character can increase one stat by 1 point.
• A character may spend 1 point in game to increase their Attack or Defense by 1 point for one turn as an Action. This effect may only be used once per turn.
• A character to spend 2 points to recover from a negative Status as an Action.

Earning Points

Points may be earned a number of ways.

• Each time the character "kills" an opponent, they earn 1 point.
• If the character is defeated themselves, they gain 1 point.
• When a Mission is completed, all characters on the winning team recieve 5 points.
  • Additionally, if a single player succeeds after all their teammates have been taken out, they receive an additional point.
• At the end of combat, each team may choose to award a point to the player they felt did the best job, majority rule.

Losing Points

Points can be lost as well.

• Killing a friendly results in the loss of 2 points.
• Camping a site to win by kills negates all points that would have been acquired.
