Legend of Krystal Forums

This game will be using a D20 system.
For combat, for example: Player stats will effect the results of the roll.

Magi: If you roll a 13-19, that is a hit. You deal Damage equal to 1 + your attack Modifier. 11-12 is a Glancing Blow, you only deal 1 + half (rounded down) your attack Modifier. If you roll a 20+, that is a critical. You deal damage equal to 1 + Attack Mod + 2x Luck. Anything less is a Miss.

Servants: Pretty much the same except the base damage is 2 instead of 1.
For example, if I make an Attack and have a Strength score of B (+ 3), my result will be (d20 + 3). Anything non-combat that requires a roll basically follows the same premise.
Oh yes, stats will be using a numbered system to match the source material.

EX (+5)
S (+4)
A (+3)
B (+2)
C (+1)
D ( 0)
E (-1)
F (-2)

The benefits are, admittedly, rather small for each score but I wanted to keep things very simple. Each rank has a Plus version that acts as a middle ground of sorts as you rank up (with exception of the lowest ranks). So B+ offers the same benefit of a B rank, but is a stepping stone for the A Rank.
An individual skill's leveling goes: F, E ,D, D+, C, C+, B, B+, A, A+, S, S+, EX.
The Servant's starting stats depend on what class they are, but players have the option to spread some stats around at the beginning. After defeating an enemy or playing excellently, Master and Servant will level up, gaining the option of increasing their stats.
On level up, a Master may increase one of their stats by a stage, and a Servant may increase two of theirs by one stage (Or one stat by two stages).


It's generally assumed that a Servant is defending their Master from attacks. So in combat, a Servant will be the primary target of attacks, though through trickery and traps a Master may be caught unawares!
To hit a Master you have to beat their Servant's Attack Roll on top of hitting. Well, as long as their Servant is still standing.

Lust Attacks:
Oh yes, what you're all here for. A Magi or Servant can make a sexual attack, by using magic or by doing a quick tease. You use either STR, AGI or MAG for the attack. STR involve showing off the body in slow detail, AGI involve a quick tease - fast flashing and flirts, and MAG involves outright magical manipulation. Lust attacks follow the same rules for normal attacks, but affect another health bar.

Loyalty:
Each servant will have a stat called Loyalty that will go up once a Master and Servant grow closer. Each Servant starts at Loyalty level C, with the exception of Berserkers and Avengers who start at Level D. A Servant's Noble Phantasm is unlocked at Servant Level A. Servants are often prideful individuals who wont reveal their true identities unless they trust their master. At Servant Level A, they reveal to their Master their true identity and the full extent of their abilities. Ranks S and EX merely strengthen the bond between the two of you. This will result in a visual change of the character.
The ranking goes:
EX
S
A
B
C
D
E

Servants are living individuals that have their own agenda separate from their Master's. This ranking doesn't serve a purpose of stat increase or additional numbers, merely a reward for good RPing. This rank goes up not through battle, but through character interaction and conversation. There is a mechanical bonus from A onwards, as a Servant starts to grow stronger than normal and unlocks their strongest attack.

Servant Matrix:
When you interact with an enemy Servant, you gain a 'Servant Matrix' directed towards them. This represents how much you know about the enemy servant. Each level in the Matrix adds a modifier to your actions towards that Servant as you formulate a plan to use against them. Knowledge is power. A Master who spends their time studying an enemy, to the point of having an EX, will have a huge advantage over a Master who knows nothing of their opponent.
The ranking goes:
EX (+3): You know the true identity of the target Servant and what their Noble Phantasm is. You have access to knowledge on all of their Skills.
A (+2): You know the abilities of the target Servant through studying them/piecing together information on them based on what you have seen.
B (+1): You know the class of the target Servant, giving you a vague idea of their abilities.
C ( 0 ): You know nothing of the enemy Servant.

So if I have an EX Matrix against my opponent, my attack is d20 + Attack Mod + 3.
If both Masters have an equal Servant Matrix against each other, the bonus is negated.
Noble Phantasm:
An NP is a powerful artifact that is the embodiment, or symbol, of the Servant's power and heroism. It is the name of both the object and their strongest attack. The NP can be a concept or a physical object. Some examples would be King Arthur's Excalibur, Gilgamesh's Treasury, EMIYA(archer)'s Unlimited Blade Works ability, Hercules' God Hand - Twelve Labours, Lancelot's honour or Cu Chulainn's Gae Bolg.
Unless the Noble Phantasm is a passive ability, a Servant will only reveal their ability to their Master if their Loyalty is at Rank A. At which point they can use it in battle. A Noble Phantasm Attack is an extraordinarily powerful attack, each one somewhat unique.

Instead of a rivaling attack roll, any who are targeted by such a strike make a roll to avoid or block it. Let's use Gae Bolg as an example. When thrown, the spear immedietly pierces the target's heart, then warps time and space so the strike hit in the first place. The victim makes a Magic roll, add their modifiers and try to beat their opponent's attack roll. If they do, the spear misses their heart and deals damage equal to 2x a normal attack. If it succeeds, the victim suffers 4x a basic attack + the user's AGI and the victim's LUK.

Being stabbed through the heart might not kill a Servant, but it will hurt a lot.

Noble Phantasms, specifically their mechanical effect and the specifics of the attack will be revealed/displayed when they are unlocked. They are unique and based on the Servant.

Command Seal
Masters have a mark called a Command Seal on them. This is the symbol of their bond with their Servant. The Command Seal has three 'stocks' of sorts, that can be consumed to do a bunch of things. However, they cannot be restored by any means. In this game, the seal's usage will be as brief but powerful buffs to your Servant. However, you may also consume a stock to order a Servant to do something they normally wouldn't. This can range from having them teleport to your side even if they are bound and sealed away, having them attack someone they would normally refuse to, order them to stab themselves in the chest or... well, you get the picture. It's an order that the body will obey even if the mind refuses.
A Seal can be used to: Empower an attack, guarantee a hit, increase a servant's durability briefly.

Health and Arousal - Losing
Upon sustaining a certain amount of damage, a player falls unconscious and loses to their opponent.
They can also be aroused to the point of begging for release, which involves having their Arousal maxed out. They still lose to their opponent, of course, but things get fun right away.
Servant HP is equal to 10 + twice Endurance. Magi HP is equal to 10 + Endurance
Servant A is equal to 10 + twice Luck. Magic A is equal to 10 + Luck.

After a Master loses, both Servant and Master are added to the victor's Harem. You are no longer a participator of the War, but are simply a subsidiary of your Owner. Servant's can lose separately to their Masters. As long as the Master wins or gets away, they can re-summon their Servant. While you are Owned, all of your attributes are decreased by two stages and your Owner can use a single Command Seal on you. You can rejoin the game as a full-on player by getting permission from your owner, defeat them in a contest or outright fight, or some other series of events.
But if you lose to that individual again, you can't escape. Unless you're an Avenger.

If your Owner loses, you transfer to whoever beat them.

Basically this keeps you in the game, but your victories are for another. You can fight back, backstab them or undermine them as you go, or obey them. Ultimately up to you!

Mana
Servant's cost their Master Mana. Each Master will have at least 100 Mana at the start. Servant Attacks cost 10 Mana each, Magic attacks cost 15. Using special skills costs 20-30 (depending), while a Noble Phantasm costs 50-60. You regain 10 mana per turn normally.
If you run out of Mana, your Servant can no longer make attacks. They can still act, but they begin to fade away until you have enough mana to attack again. You can spend a turn Charging to regain mana, which deals arousal damage equal to how much you gain (eg, 1 damage = 10 Mana restore). How much you restore is up to you.
Cause, like, in Fate's canon semen and sexual fluid is used to charge mana. The series was an eroge originally. On that note, having sex fully recharges your mana. It doesn't charge in between fights otherwise.

A Magi's spells/attacks cost 5 mana and their specials use 10-15.


Stats:
Strength: Physical strength, the main attack stat of the Saber, Berserker and Rider(Riders may use STR or AGI) classes.
Agility: Speed and precision, the main attack stat of the Lancer, Assassin and Archer(Archers may use STR or AGI) Classes.
Magic: Magic power and defence, the main attack stat of the Caster class.
Endurance: Durability. Affects Health and some other results.
Luck: Affects a whole bunch of things, mainly damage reduction, mini games and crit damage. Primary attack stat for the Avenger class (Avengers may use LUK, STR or AGI).


Certain stats are used by certain classes for attacking, but circumstances may force them to use another stat. These situations could be checks, reacting to traps or defending against magic.
Classes:
Servants are assigned a class, which grants them a specific ability. Some are RP focused, others are stat focused.

Saber: Battle Hardened - If you are damaged by a target that you also have damaged on the same turn, you take half damage.
Archer: Independent Action - You can act separate to your Master for longer periods of time, act without consuming mana or partially resist orders.
Lancer: Greater Magic Resist - You have a minimum Magic Resist A (+3).
Rider: Greater Riding - You may pilot any vehicle/animal with great skill, including divine and sacred beasts. Riders summon or call upon the powers of other beings or vehicles in combat, this ability adds half of your attack stat to theirs. What the Rider summons depends on the individual.
Caster: Territory Creation/Item Creation - You may create an area of special terrain that is advantageous to you and your Master. You gain + 2 to Magic related rolls while within your Territory. Item Creation allows you to spontaneously create mundane items, or spend time crafting enchanted/magical items.
Assassin: Presence Concealment - An invisibility cloak. Until you attack, you are nigh impossible to detect or notice, even granting you passage into sealed and protected places. Your Master is shrouded in a weaker version of this ability when you activate it.
Berserker: Madness Enhancement - Exchange sanity for power. Endurance and Strength are increased by Two Stages, but Luck and Magic are decreased by two stages too.
Avenger: Oblivion Correction/Mana Surge - Your unforgettable resentment and hatred gives you strength. You immedietly break free from defeat, freeing yourself from a victor's Harem at your whim and gain + 3 to all rolls against them. - You endlessly regain mana until your vengeance is dealt, gaining 30 per turn. Take Double Damage from all other Servants who you are not targeting for Vengeance.
Ruler: God's Resolution - Take half damage and deal double damage to all other servants. You have two Command Seals for each servant in the game and can freely negate their Noble Phantasms. Take double damage and deal half damage to Avengers, who are immune to the effects of your Command Seals and negation abilities.

Name: Reyna Valla 'The Blood Soaked Ogre'
Age: 30
Class: Avenger
Appearance:
Sex: Female
Background: Valla wasn't known for being a woman seeking solitude or even for her peaceful life... She was remembered for her desire for revenge. Within her village she grew as a mother to two children and a chivalrous knight who was fond of their life together. Unfortunately with her lineage of mages and her practice within mage craft. Although, the price of death was paid for by her family. In her sorrow and anger she vowed a blood oath of revenge on those that had done her family wrong. In her attempts to seek justice she had left a bloody trail of bodies that many mistook the atrocious deeds to be done by an Ogre or beast of myth. Her tale ends when her final attempt of revenge was on the noble her husband had sworn fealty to. The end of her myth is a blur as many iterations show either the righteous noble either defeating the beast or falling prey to it's bloodlust.

Reyna, despite her legend is quite a caring person. Very motherly and protecting to those she cares for, but is more than willing to set the world ablaze if it meant the protection of her loved ones. Outside of family she is quite a loner, but is attentive to those that earn her trust and friendship. Even so she would prefer solitude a majority of the time. In a fight her bloodlust shows through her humor... having gained a rather dark sense of humor after witnessing the deaths of her loved ones. Being summoned into this holy grail war has brought the desire of new life for both herself and her family... once she wins this war

You immedietly break free from defeat, freeing yourself from a victor's Harem at your whim and gain + 3 to all rolls against them. - You endlessly regain mana until your vengeance is dealt, gaining 30 per turn.

Burning Blood: The closer to death the Avenger is the more dangerous she becomes. Her blood grows in heat till the point it hurts to be standing near her. This allows her to even use her own blood as a long range weapon. Her strikes while in a damage state seem to give off small explosions. Increases damage done once hurt and scales the closer to death Avenger is.

Coagulation: Her legend and title described her as an ogre... A beast... Flesh made harder than most weapons. There was some truth to this aspect of legend. In her days of understanding bloodmagic she has found ways to imbue blood with elemental properties. As such when wounded or having wounded another, Avenger pulls in the blood surrounding and reinforcing her skin. Many who underestimated her spread tales of her stone like skin. Inpenetrable from the blades that seeked to do her harm. Mechanics wise this works in tandom to the blood stacking. The more blood accumalted whether hers or her enemy's is used to reduce damage. The amount of damage reduced is aligned with the amount of blood stacked.(see noble phantasm for blood stack)



Abilities:
Ancestral Ink- Unlike most heroic spirits, the history of her lineage is etched into her skin. Overtime though the painted history was distorted by her anger and hate. If she had allowed her rage to blind her she would had made the perfect beserker... However her mental focus to alter her tattoos into a shapeshifting weapon that remains attached to her body. A unique ability to manipulate her tattoos to be either as sharp, hard, sticky, and soft as she wants them to be. Her normal used in combat allow her to throw the ink as a tether to pull herself to a destination, pull objects/enemies to her, or push objects/enemies away. As the ink is a physical extension to herself. All of her skills including her NP can be used within her ink.

Noble Phantasm: Blood Ties(active/Passive)- Within her legend as well as her lineage, the presence of blood was always the strongest presence that laid before her. As the Bloody Ogre, she draws strength upon spilled blood of her foes. Instead of feeding off of it like the ilk of Dracula, the Ogre was known to always be drenched in either her own blood or the blood of her foes. Once enough blood stacks up(I'll let you decide how much needs to be stacked to use active) the Ogre can either heal her wounds or use to empower an attack. Levels of stack heal and empower avenger to varying degrees.

Name: Wu Chunhua, the black pilgrim.
Age: 27
Class: Berserker
Appearance:
Sex: Female
Background: Chunhua was born during the second century in Western China, but abandoned at birth in a flowering field. The motivations of her mother and father are unknown, possibly removing her because she was not what they wanted, but it matters little as she was found by a wandering monk. With no other family with which to place her, the kindly man took her back to his monastery, naming her Chunhua, or Spring Flower. While it was strange for them at first, the resident monks cared for the child and, as she grew, taught her the tenets of their faith. But as the roads were beset by demons and men, she was also taught the arts of combat that she could defend herself when she began her own pilgrimages.

When her time to leave came, she donned the traditional robes and collected her monk's spade, bid everyone farewell, and stepped out onto the roads that, 16 years earlier, she had been found upon. Her journey took her far and wide, visiting many villages and granting them blessings of good harvests, health, and appeasing the spirits of nature. Bandits were few and far between, but those that did approach her often demanded a "suitable alternative" to coins in order to allow her to pass. More often than not, she would seek an alternate path so that she would not have to confront them, but on occasion she had to exercise self-restraint to a far greater degree, letting the men quench themselves, and appease the spirits later. She continued on this way for the next eight years, before eventually returning to the temple in order to share what wisdom she had learned.

The monestary had been burned down and the monks massacred on the orders of the local warlord. Chunhua tried to equate what had happened with the tenets of her faith, but the sheer violence of it all was too much for her. She moved through the ruins to find each and every monks, affording them a proper burial so that those who has not achieved nirvana the chance to come back and try again, rather than be doomed to roam endlessly as a raging spirit. Her tasks complete, she took her monk's spade and gathered everything that would aid her, before once more leaving the monestary. This time, her heart was heavy, and her mind set on retribution.

She moved through the country for the next three years, mercilessly attacking any bandit that she found. Dark spirits flocked to her as her as her pilgrimage of death continued, the spade once used to bury the dead and fend off wildlife having transformed into a tool of murder. She initially prayed for each life she took, knowing that each step taken down her path took her further away from enlightenment and ensured her the pain of rebirth for centuries to come, but the more she killed, the lass she cared for the souls of the slain. Towns that had once welcomed the female monk now recoiled as the mention of the Black Pilgrim moving in their direction, fearing for their own lives should they give shelter to the instrument of death that she had become. It was in one of these towns that she met her end.

Having been woken in the dead of night by the very warlord she had been hunting, Chunhua emerged ready for battle. Her sharpened monk's spade flashed left and right, raiders lives taken with each swing, but there were so many of them. Still, she pushed on, her goal in sight and attacked without remorse. But the warlord was wise, and had archers fire at her as she dashed forward. Shafts found their marks, causing her to drop her weapon as her left arm and chest were pierced by multiple shafts. The dark spirits raged around her, and she pushed forward, mouth drawn tightly so as to show no sign of pain or fear. Her fists became her next weapons, lashing out to strike vital points to disable more menbut her clothes were already staining red and her energy ebbing. She pushed forward... but could not reach her foe. Three men moved to block her slowing form, spears thrusting out to pierce her body, yet she did not cry out. Even as her lifeblood soaked into her clothes and ran down the hafts, her every locked with that of the smug warlord, before life slipped from her and she slumped forward.

It was a whole day before her limp body, held in that final pose by spears now wedged into the ground, was finally taken down.

Skills:

Madness Enhancement - Exchange sanity for power. Endurance and Strength are increased by Two Stages, but Luck and Magic are decreased by two stages too

Skin of Sin - Legends surround her death, and how she was pierced by several arrows and still continued onward with her assault, only getting defeated by multiple spears. Once she had a goal, her single-minded attitude toward obtaining it allowed her to twist the spirits that surround her to dull the pain and lessen the impact of ranged attacks, even at the expense of her own soul's torment. Chunhua gains a bonus to her ranged resistance from the spirits of pain and vengeance

Beacon of Shadows - In the last years of her life, having forsaken her vows in exchange for the power and will to bring merciless and uncompromising death to her foes, Chunhua was surrounded by evil restless spirits of the slain. She perverted her monk's training so that she could tap into these spirits to curse those who crossed her path. With her death, she became a beacon to the lost and wandering spirits. Chunhua can guide the spirits of fear and anger to increase the effects of magical debilitating effects.

Abilities:

Weapons of Peace: During her life as a wandering monk, Chunhua carried a "monk's spade" with her as a tool for self defence and to bury the dead. One end was a blunt, flat head for shovelling earth while the other was a crescent for keeping wild animals at bay. However, after the deaths of all her fellow monks and her descent into vengeance, the simple tool became refined into a weapon equally adept at bringing death to the body as well as piling earth on top of it. Her training with the tool made both her and it a deadly combination

Noble Phantasm: Summoning the restless souls of the slain seeking vengeance and pain upon the living, the Black Pilgrim allows them to manifest around her before sending them launching at her foe where they tear at her hapless target's mind and soul, stripping away their essence to add it to her own as another wailing phantasm.

Inventory: Simple Bhuddist monk's robes, 1st century lacquered battle dress and pauldrons, modern full-length conservative dress, monk's spade, sharpened chopsticks, various holy icons
