Magic's overall power did go down, but it also gained some significant ease of use, especially in regard to healing! Before you would choose how hard a spell would hit, now you just roll and if you get more hits, you increase magic effectiveness after the roll doing more damage or being more hidden based on your result. Magic- magic changes, but it still follows the basics above. This means you get fewer passes at the top of the round, but you also have a more stable initiative action order and action amounts. You can spend several minor actions to make a second major action. Every character gets 1 minor action (things like run ) and 1 major action (thinks like attack and cast spells). Now all characters roll initiative as before, but depending on the number of d6s you roll you may gain additional actions. This would result in multiple passes for fast characters moving at super human speeds. After actions, you would subtract 10 from all scores, and characters with scores above 0 would act again. Before, in 5th, you would roll initiative and all characters would act from high to low. The second biggest change is actions in combat.
It means you roll much fewer dice and weapon damage is also down to compensate. You would roll that many d6s praying for 5s and 6s so you would not die! In 6th ed, armor doesn't provide damage reduction but instead provides a score to compare to guns to gain edge. Soak is reducing damage, and it was found by adding your body attribute to your armor value. If I got more successes (5s and 6s on the dice) than you then the difference would be added to the weapon damage. Edge even powers new abilities.Ĭombat-combat got more of a face lift with two sizable, but manageable changes. It's much more an a la carte menu where you choose abilities, to change dice faces, and other crazy options. You see in the dark and the opponent doesn't? Edge for you! What's also changed is edge isn't just rerolls now. You're the only player paying attention and you catch the plot hook? EDGE! What changed is now before every roll we check who has an advantage in a situation. What's new with the basics-the BIGGEST change between editions is edge. 5 and 6 are successes and used to determine if you succeed, while if you have over half 1s, that's a glitch and something bad happens. You then count the number of 1s and the 5s and 6s. Almost all rolls are: take an attribute (the stats of your character that range mostly between 1 to 6), add your skill ranks, and roll that many dice. What changed? What's new? What's old?
