    This document outlines the core mechanics of an MMO roleplaying game called MMO-ANTE 2.0. Players have attributes like Agility and Strength that start at a base die value of D3 and can be increased up to D12. Tasks require rolling attribute dice against a difficulty set by the game master. Combat uses player dice rolls to determine both success and damage. Armor provides damage reduction, and players can defend to control damage. Healing spells require a combat test and have restrictions on amount and frequency of healing.

    MMO-ANTE 2.

    Attributes:
    ● Agility: Balance, swim, flee, etc.
    ● Presence: Perceive, aim, charm, spellcasting, etc.
    ● Strength: Crushing, lifting, melee strikes, grapple, etc.
    ● Toughness: Resist poisons, cold, survive falls, etc.

    Attribute Values:
    ● Players start with all attributes at a base value of D3.
    ● Players have six advances to spend. Each advance increases the die value by one step (D3
    to D4, D4 to D5, and so on). The maximum value is D12.

    Difficulty Scale:
    ● Difficulty checks are typically on a scale of 2 (easy) to 10 (nigh impossible).
    ● The game master sets the difficulty for various tasks and challenges.

    Testing Mechanism:
    ● When a player is asked to make a test, they roll a die of the appropriate attribute against
    the difficulty check. If no attribute is specified, use your highest die value.
    ● The result of the die roll is compared to the difficulty check:
    ● If the result is equal to or greater than the difficulty, the test succeeds.
    ● If the result is less than the difficulty, the test fails.
    Combat System:
    ● All combat rolls are player-facing, meaning players make rolls to determine both
    success and damage.
    ● On a failed test in combat, the player automatically takes a flat damage value assigned
    to the creature they are fighting. Adjustments are made based on armor type or other
    character abilities.
    ● On a successful combat test, the player deals damage based on the number value of the
    attribute's die. For example, if a player has a D6 in Strength and successfully hits with a
    melee weapon, they deal 6 damage. Spells and ranged attack damage is determined by
    presence.

    Damage Reduction:
    ● Armor type or other defensive abilities can reduce the flat damage taken on a failed test.
    ● The game master determines the specific damage reduction based on the character's
    equipment, skills, or other factors.

    Advancement:
    ● Participating in events and guild storylines earns player advancements.
    ● Advancing allows players to increase their attributes or acquire new skills, providing
    more opportunities for success in various situations.

    Critical Hits and Failures:


    ● Rolling the maximum value on the die (e.g., rolling a 3 on a D3, 6 on a D6) may result in
    a critical success, providing additional benefits.
    ● Rolling the minimum value on the die (e.g., rolling a 1) may lead to a critical failure,
    introducing additional challenges or negative consequences.

    Additional Player Actions:

    1. Defend:
    ● Players can choose to defend instead of taking an action on their turn.
    ● When defending, the player does not roll their attribute die during that turn.
    ● Instead, the defending player can choose to take the damage from another failed roll of
    their choosing.
    ● This allows strategic decision-making, sacrificing an action for better control over
    potential damage.

    Armor Types:

    1. Light Armor and Medium Armor:


    ● Light Armor provides a +1 bonus to all combat rolls or a 1-point Damage Reduction (DR)
    when defending.
    ● Medium Armor provides the same benefits: +1 to all combat rolls or 1 DR when
    defending.

    2. Heavy Armor:
    ● Heavy Armor provides a 2-point Damage Reduction (DR) when defending.
    ● This represents the increased protection offered by heavy armor.

    Damage Reduction (DR):


    ● DR cannot reduce damage to zero; it only reduces damage to a minimum of 1.
    ● When a defending player has armor, the DR is applied after the initial damage
    calculation.
    ● For example, if a player would take 4 damage and has 2 DR from heavy armor, they would
    only take 2 damage (4 - 2 = 2).

    Healing Spells:
    ● Activation: Players can choose to use a healing spell on their turn instead of taking
    another action.
    ● Healing Amount: The player can heal for an amount equal to their Presence die value.
    ● Target Split: The healing amount can be split between up to three targets.
    ● Example: If a player has a D9 Presence and chooses to heal, they can heal three allies for
    3 HP each, assuming they succeed in their combat test.
    Restrictions:
    ● Combat Test: The success of the healing spell is determined by a combat test. The player
    rolls their Presence die against a predetermined difficulty.
    ● Success Requirement: The player needs to succeed in their combat test for the healing
    spell to take effect.
    ● Healing Limit: A target cannot be healed again until they take additional damage. This
    prevents continuous healing and encourages strategic use of healing spells.
