REVISED ATTRIBUTES:

Magic (4 points/level)

To better represent the nature of anime magic, this alternate system is presented. All uses of Squaresoft spells as example are done so without permission. No copyright infringement is intended.

Magic usage remains unaltered from before. Now however, the various ways to use magic have been subdivided into various categories. When this attribute is purchased, your GM will inform you what categories you have available to place Magic Category Points in. The way to figure the number of points you have available is like this:

(Number of Categories x Character's Magic Level = Magic Category Points available)

So, in example, our would be anime mage, Cloud Leonhart, spends 12 normal Attribute points to purchase the Magic Attribute at Level 3. The GM tells him that there are six magical categories available. So Cloud does the math (6 Categories x Magic Level 3 = 18 Magic Category Points). Now Cloud can go put points into the various categories however he pleases.

When ever you use magic, it cost three energy points per level used. Therefore, if you Cloud Leonhart used Fire 3 (a level three spell), it would cost him nine energy points. And when a magic must be sustained, it cost one energy points for every round after the casting. For example, Cloud Leonhart has made a barrier against evil around himself and his friends to protect them from a group of marauding demons. This spell is a level 2 spell, that can be maintained. So thus, after he cast the spell initially for six energy points, he can chose to keep the spell going by putting a single energy point into it every subsequent turn.

Level 6 Massively powerful Time spells (Galaxy Stop; Casts all negative time effects on all enemy targets and does Soul x 2 damage)

Restore (Heal)

The Restore category (also known as Heal) is used to repair injuries and cure abnormal status effects. The points invested in this attribute help to determine the amount of restoration one can do. Restore can also be applied to inanimate objects. If a Restore effect can last multiple turns (such as Regen), it lasts a number of turns equal to the magician's Soul. Effects that last multiple turns can also be sustained.

Status

The Status category is used to attack targets with indirect magic. Status affects alter the targets current physical standing, and can be very deadly if left untreated. The points invested in this attribute help to determine the ways the magician can change someone's status. Status magic lasts until it is dispelled or removed. Someone who has status magic can reverse the effects up to the level of status magic they have.

Level 5 Pain, Meltdown (Causes Blind, Poison, Silence; Causes Body 0 [adjust all stats!!!])

Level 6 Slow Death (Will kill target in [Soul] turns)

SFX

The SFX category is more or less a magic-magic sub-attribute. SFX can do nothing by itself. When combined with other magic types however, it can grant them incredible special effects. Making spells elemental, or take on certain weapon properties is what it does. The points invested in SFX denote up to what level of magic you can combine SFX with. If you have more levels of SFX than the magic you are combining it with, then you can add Weapon sub-attributes to the spell (for Weapon Sub attributes, check p. 39 of BRCS, or pg.145 of DTPRPG).

Changing the world around you, the world that is not directly connected to you, is the use and purpose of Active Environment type magic.

Cybernetic Body (2 Points/Level)

If a character possess the Cybernetic Body attribute, he or she is a mixture of man and machine. The Cybernetic Body attribute gives the character a set amount of "Cyber Points", with which he or she can build the functions of the cyborg body. Throughout the attributes, you will always find two options: "Concealed" and "Visible". "Concealed denotes that no matter what, whether the character has a modest few cyborg features, or more features than a Lexus 5000GL Aerodyne, the features aren't obviously cybernetic. The character can pass for a normal or minorly enhanced human with little difficulty. "Visible" denotes that no matter what you do, you cannot conceal the fact that you are a heavily cybered individual. Note, this doesn't mean you are unattractive, just that you have visible cybernetics and such. The following table below shows how many "Cyber Points" you get per level of attribute.

Level 1 Modest enhancement. 10 "Cyber Points" for sub-attributes.

Level 2 Heavy enhancement. 20 "Cyber Points" for sub-attributes.

Level 3 Mega enhancement or modest borg. 30 "Cyber Points" for sub-attributes.

Level 4 Ultra enhancement or powerful borg. 40 "Cyber Points" for sub-attributes.

Level 5 Extremely powerful borg. 50 "Cyber Points" for sub-attributes.

Level 6 Human sized walking tank. 60 "Cyber Points" for sub attributes.

GM Option:Unless specified otherwise, all cybernetics are mechanical/electronic. If a character

with the Cybernetic Body attribute is injured, it's mechanical damage, and must be repaired in an area suited for such maintence. Otherwise, the character can purchase the Rengeneration sub-attribute, which denotes more "organic" forms of cyberware, such as nanotech.

This is different from Heightened Senses in the sense that the information conveied is purely data, and not as practical as the Heightened Senses attribute.
