Reborn in Another World But I've Been Transformed Into an Isekai Light Novel Collectors Box Set

Work in Progress

This page is unfinished.

Created for a game where the players are stuck in a video game to introduce some MMORPG mechanics to this TTRPG.

Class. Each player picks a class from the list below, granting them some really unbalanced bonuses.

Subclass. Each player picks a subclass from the list below (for a little extra fun).

Professions. Characters have in-game professions corresponding to all of their Artistries. These don't provide fixed mechanical benefits but have fun with it.

Aggro. Each player has an aggro score (representing how much of a threat the monsters see them as). Enemies tend to target the player with the highest aggro, using the following rules:

• Consider the player with the highest aggro.
• Using the difference between their aggro and the aggro of the next-highest player, decide whether they're targeted. The odds below are the chance that the enemy doesn't target them (example: Maple has 10 aggro, Sally has 3 aggro. Maple is 7 higher than Sally, so odds of her not being targeted are 2/6. Roll 1d6. On a 1 or 2, skip over Maple and continue with the algorithm.):
  • 10 or more: 1/6
  • 5-9: 2/6
  • 1-4: 3/6
• If they aren't targeted, move to the player with the next-highest aggro and repeat this process (unless they're last in the list, in which case they're just targeted).

Players generate aggro when they do the following:

• Deal damage to enemies (2 aggro per point inflicted).
• Cast an action-speed spell which affects an enemy (1 aggro per enemy).
• Heal an ally (7 aggro per point).
• They are rendered helpless (9 aggro).

Players lose aggro when the following occur:

• They take damage (-2 aggro per point taken).

Classes

• Passive: Easy Target. You don't lose aggro when you take damage.
• Active [Action]: Brace for Impact. You gain an edge on all rolls you make on defence until the start of your next turn. Generate 3 aggro.
