Experimental Systems
Experimental Game Systems
This page has listed different experimental game systems that can be used in the Amar Role Playing Game. Note that these game variants are experimental, and therefore, the systems might seem unbalanced, or doesn't cover every part of the original system.
Evolutionary Magick
The Evolutionary Magick is a new, simplified magic system that changes the way spells are learnt, and their effect as they level up. While making the system simpler, it also allows magic casters to easier get an huge variety of spells to use from. Currently the evolutionary magic system is being worked on, and is not finished.
Dynamic Spells System
A fully dynamic spells system has been floating for years. The idea is to let characters compose any spell within a path and calculate a totat DR for casting the spell. The table below shows a set of spell charactersitics and a corresponding DR for each. Simply add the DR for each characteristic (column) to get the total DR for that spell.
DR | A/P | Resist? | CT | Dur | Rng | Weight | AoE | (+/-Dam) | (Senses) |
0 | A | Y | 3h | Inst. | T | 1g | 0 | D-4 | |
1 | 30m | 1r | 1m | 1kg | 1m | D-2 | 1 | ||
2 | 5m | 2r | 5m | 5kg | 5m | D | |||
3 | P | N | 1m | 5r | 10m | 20kg | 10m | D+2 | 2 |
4 | 5r | 1m | 20m | 100kg | 20m | D+4 | 3 | ||
5 | 2r | 5m | 50m | 300kg | 50m | D+6 | 4 | ||
6 | 1r | 30m | 100m | 1000kg | 100m | D+8 | 5 |
Examples: A Lightning Bolt with a Range of 20 meters (DR 4), doing D+2 in Damage (DR 3) and with a Casting Time of 1 Round (DR 6) would have a total DR of 13. A Silence spell (affects one sense, DR 1) with Casting Time of 5 Rounds (DR 4), Duration of 2 Rounds (DR 2) and non-resistable (DR 3) would have a total DR of 10.
