I like the idea of tactical team games, but a lot of them are

Dungeons and Dragons 4e

>>55112088
This is unironically the best answer. Just make players have more than one character and have fun.

>>55112088
This is a good starting point, actually. I might just build off 4e as a base and work until it's not recognizable.

>Simplify character sheets to make them just a bare-bones stat block.
>Build a deck of possible actions for monsters. Then build a "treasure" deck.
>Create a few class cards that have primary and secondary abilities. "Warrior" instead of Fighter, and "Black Mage" instead of warlock.
>Last, fiddle with the math, then reapply dice so that the game can be played with d6 if I want to.

Tah-dah! You have Dungeon Fantasy: Tactics!

Sounds like you have some cool ideas, anon.

SeeD if you're not married to a grid but still would like robust mechanics.

These ideas

I've heard strike does something like this, but I've also heard that it's a meme that's shilled by retards. I dig the 4e idea though. I thought about trying some Fire Emblem thing in that, but it's a little too complicated for what I wanted.

Strike! is a simplified 4e.

Give it a look.

>Simplify character sheets to make them just a bare-bones stat block.

You don't even have stats beyond HP and move speed, you only got powers and passive boosts (which still deal with things like precision, damage and defenses).

>Build a deck of possible actions for monsters.
It uses the 4e layout, so sure, easy to convert to a deck.

>Then build a "treasure" deck.
The "Monster Hunter" books isn't out yet sadly, but you can improvise.

>Create a few class cards that have primary and secondary abilities. "Warrior" instead of Fighter, and "Black Mage" instead of warlock.

It's using a class/role split, role giving you your primary boosts and class giving you your active abilities (class can be replaced with a "simplified" version if that's what you are going for, which only has passives).

>Last, fiddle with the math, then reapply dice so that the game can be played with d6 if I want to.

It's d6 based.

It gets a bad rep because the first half of the book is kinda garbo, and most people don't get to the second half (which is where the combat is).

I think, anyway. It's a pretty good game, otherwise.

So, how do you make Orlando in this system, I need it for a boss.

Well, taking a look at Orlando he has access to:
Holy/Divine/Fell knight and Iaido.

Taking account of what these do:
Holy gives status effects and has some melee AoE.
Divine breaks equipment
Fell Drains HP and heals self
Iaido buffs self

So, you can justify him doing just about anything, as long as it's melee focused.

Sounds like he'd be a Champion tier enemy, which means he gets all of pic related.

Keeping all that in mind, I'd do it as follows:


Thunder God Swordplay:
Any enemy hit by your attacks is automatically marked until the beginning of his next turn (Marked enemies provoke an opportunity when they attack a different target or try to shift while adjacent).

Thunder God Footwork:
You can Shift half your speed as a move action. You can shift 1 square when standing up from prone.

At-Will attacks:
Thunder God Strike (3 dmg)
"Orlando uses one of his innumerable sword techniques"
Special: Choose one of the following effects before making the attack roll
- deal 2 extra damage, heal 2 HP
- break an equipment the target is wielding
- target is slowed and weakened (save ends)
- gain +2 speed and attacks against you are made with disadvantage until the beginning of your next turn with the same initiative.
- no effect, but attack is melee blast 1
- no effect, but attack has range 5 (10 if doubled)
(you can roll a d6 at the beginning of turn to decide which one he'll use)

Encounter free actions:
Thunder God Flash
Effect: Select an adjacent target. If the target is still adjacent to you at the beginning of your next turn, you may make a free Thunder God Strike against him.
Recharge: 5-6

At-Will reactions:
Counter tackle
Trigger: You are hit by a melee attack, or an adjacent enemy provokes an opportunity
Effect: The target is pushed 3 squares or knocked prone.

Stop Holding Back
Trigger: You take damage and your HP is below half your maximum.
Effect: Next time you use Thunder God Strike, you can pick twice from the list.

stupid mistake to make...
