What is Nitrome RPG?[]
Nitrome RPG is a role-playing game made by Plasmaster. When this page is done, the game will be available to play through a forum post by Plasmaster on Nitrome Fan Fiction Wiki.
What You Will Need[]
First, you need to create your character profile. Make up your character! It can be an OC or it could be a character from a Nitrome game. Then, write down their profile on a sheet of paper or on your computer, being sure to include the following information.
Strength: TBD
Agility: TBD
Defense: TBD
Arms: TBD
Intelligence: TBD
Wisdom: TBD
Charisma: TBD
Stamina: TBD
Experience Points: 20
Epic Experience Points: TBD
Inventory: Determined by your character
Nitrome Coins: 0
Skills: Determined by your character
Leave all TBD stats blank. These stats will be determined at the start of the game.
Each character gets 20 XP to start with.
You will also need a Game Master, who will deliver the results of a player action once a number has been rolled.
The Game Master will need a pair of dice; this can be a real pair of dice that they themselves roll or a virtual pair rolled on a computer.
Rules[]
At the start of the game, the Game Master will roll the dice. The number that is rolled will then be attributed to one of the player's stats; they get to choose which stat to put the number on. Once all stats have been filled, the player can then select four skills for their character to have. The character can upgrade these skills later or acquire new skills. Skills are acquired by spending XP, or experience points. XP is gained by carrying out certain actions, such as fighting a monster or helping a commoner.
Skills can be upgraded by spending 50 XP. This will increase the rank of the Skill. When this skill is used, the rank will be used as an average in place of the number 6 when calculating success number.
Characters can also increase their stats by doing certain things. For example, if two characters sing a song for the villagers that becomes very popular, the two characters will have their Charisma raised. On the other hand, if the two characters set fire to a building, their Charisma will decrease.
There are two different kinds of actions that players can take with their characters. An Agility Action is simply moving the character from one place to another. An Attack Action is an attack on an enemy unit.
When performing an action, which is dictated by the player using that character, dice will be rolled to dictate the success rate of the action, with 2 being a critical success and 12 being a critical failure. 6 functions as an average.
Critical successes will result in the character succeeding in the action without flaw. In an Agility Action, a critical success allows the player to perform a second action. In an Attack Action, an attack will deal critical damage to an opponent.
Critical failures will result in the character failing so badly that it does something to hinder or hurt the team in some way.
After the success number has been rolled, if it was a 6 or lower, the damage number will be rolled. With the damage number, you want to get the highest number possible as opposed to the success number where you would want to get the lowest number. The damage number goes from 2 to 12, with 2 being the lowest damage and 12 being the highest. The damage can have a multiplier attached to it if a certain skill is being used.
When an enemy has been defeated, players will loot the defeated enemy for any valuable items it may have dropped. Players will also gain XP from defeating enemies and Epic XP if the player got a critical success or did something epic or noteworthy during the battle.
Enemies can drop Nitrome Coins, which can be used at shops or markets in the central hub to purchase items. Enemies can also drop items; the more powerful the enemy, the more rare or powerful the item they drop will be.
The number of items a character can hold in their inventory is determined by their Strength. Take their strength number and multiply it by five to get the inventory space number.
Stats[]
The following are the different stats a character has and what they mean.
Strength: Your total attack power. When factoring damage, strength number is added to the number you roll.
Agility: The reaction time, speed, and evasion of a character. When calculating success of an Agility Action, agility number will function as the character’s average in place of the number 6.
Defense: The defense of a character. When factoring the damage of an incoming enemy attack, the damage done will be decreased by the number of defense a fighter has.
Arms: A character’s experience with using items besides their own weapons. When using an item, Arms will be factored into success number.
Intelligence: Your character’s intelligence. A smarter character will know how to use more advanced weapons and attacks. Experience points needed to gain these advanced skills will be decreased by the number of intelligence the character has.
Wisdom: A character’s wisdom. A calm mind is able to carry out certain attacks better than others can, making wisdom important for magic users.
Charisma: A character’s likeableness. A more well-liked character will be better at convincing NPC’s of doing certain things, such as granting access to a blocked off area or selling an item at a discounted price.
Stamina: A character’s health, calculated by adding up a character’s strength and defense.
