Official Tiny Rugaios

[Valis Terminal]

---

STEP 1: Start!​

---

Hi there, welcome to Tiny Rugaios! This a custom system based off of Tiny D6 Frontiers (and others). The major difference for ours is that we've taken the d6 (the whole point, I know) to a d10 to give players broader chances.
If you have never used Tiny d6 before, or never used any tabletop system, we recommend you read through this guide thoroughly. It will not only encompass combat but also skills/traits outside of that.

Let's get started:

Whenever you try to do an action that will have an effect on an outcome, you roll dice.

• Normal roll: 2d10
• Disadvantage roll: 1d10
• Advantage roll: 3d10

Disadvantage always overrides advantage.

​

What your roll means​

• 7 or less→ you fail
  • 1 = critical failure
• 8 or higher→ you succeed
  • 10 = critical success

​

---

STEP 2: Turn Order​

---

When combat starts:

1. Everyone rolls 2d10 and picks their highest number from those two rolls.
2. Highest result goes first, lowest last.
3. Each round, everyone gets 2 actions

---

STEP 3: Your First Action​

---

Let’s say you attack someone.

You might emote:

“Jones rushes forward and swings their blade at Jack.”
[Move, Attack]

It's also good etiquette to put your chosen actions at the end of your emote like above.
Every turn, you can take 2 actions like this.

Potential Actions: Attack, Evade, Focus, Test, Move, Suppress, Cover, Escape, Sneak/Hide

Attack: Any offensive action against an opponent.
Evade: Can either be dodging or brushing off an attack.
Focus: If you have a trait attached, you may be able to focus and gain benefits.
Test: Test your ability or save yourself from something.
Move: You can move up to 2 blocks without it needing to be an action. But if it's 3-5 (5 maximum) it must be an action.
Suppress: -
Cover: Find cover from oncoming attacks.
Escape: See step 5.
Sneak/Hide: Roll to see if you can move/hide without being detected.

---

STEP 4: What Happens When You’re Attacked​

---

If someone attacks you, you can Evade immediately.

• Roll to avoid the attack
• Evade is always at disadvantage (unless something changes that)

This determines whether you dodge or defend successfully.

---

STEP 5: Trying to Escape​

---

You can attempt to escape once per combat.

Escape Example​

1. You and your opponent roll.
2. If they succeed → you both roll again
3. If they succeed again → you roll one final time
4. If you are successful at escaping, you leave.
   • If you fail → they choose:
     • Capture you
     • Keep fighting

If captured​

• You can attempt escape again (with a plan)
• Only one roll each this time

---

STEP 6: Health, Danger & Death​

---

Every player has health determined by their heritage and traits.

If you reach 0 HP​

• Perform a Death Save Roll with disadvantage:
  • Success → you recover 1 HP
  • Failure → allies can try to save you

If no one succeeds → your character dies

---

STEP 7: Revival (Not the End)​

---

If your body is recovered:

• You can be revived at a revival pod (very costly)
• You must have at least:
  • Head + torso

Only recovered parts are restored.

---

STEP 8: Not All Fights Are Deadly​

---

If both players agree, reaching 0 HP can mean:

• Knocked out
• Defeated

Useful for sparring or non-lethal fights.

---

STEP 9: Healing​

---

You recover health by:

• Waiting (per OOC day → Full Health), or
• Using items or traits (medkits, drugs, etc.) (Usually partial)

---

STEP 10: Your Character Build​

---

You start with:

• 1 Heritage Trait

This helps define your origin or identity, as well as give you unique perks. However, they won't make the bulk of your abilities.

Traits​

Pick traits from the traits list.

• Start with 3 traits
• Max: 10 traits

You can buy more traits beyond the starting 3 using experience.

How to gain experience​

1-3 experience will be awarded per event depending on your participation and how well you roleplayed.

---

STEP 11: Weapons & Hands​

---

You have:

• 2 hand slots (You may have more items stowed on you, but this is the amount you have in your hands.)

Weapons take:

• 1 hand (light) or
• 2 hands (heavy)

Weapon types:
(Every item will say what kind of weapon it is, if it doesn't assume it is Improvised)

• Light Melee (1H): knives, batons, tasers
• Heavy Melee (2H): claymores, chainsaws
• Light Ranged (1H): pistols, throwing knives
• Heavy Ranged (2H): rifles, flamethrowers

Ranges:

Range	Distance	Weapons
Close	0–3 blocks	Melee
Near	3–6 blocks	Heavy melee, light ranged
Distant	6–20 blocks	Ranged
Far	20+ blocks	Heavy ranged

---

STEP 12: Ammo ​

---

After combat:

• Roll an Ammo Test (2d10)
• If you fail → you are out of ammo

You’ll need to resupply or borrow from others.
