4 Introduction S0urce C0de is a tabletop game based on using the d20 system. The game is designed to build a character in a way that you can take a starting template and create something completely differently. There are Archetypes, or character progressions, that are made for you to decide from that gives certain abilities and skills to start and then you have the option and ability to build on from there. This fantasy meets science fiction RPG (role playing game) was inspired by many other games. Inside of these pages you ll find a variety of character races, skills, character talents, and even more. This game itself is published under the Open Game License so that it may legally and legitimately use a similar rule system to some other popular role-playing pen and paper games. It is meant to be potentially compatible with other game systems if you d like! S0urce C0de is meant to generate the same level of play and enjoyment that other similar tabletop games allow for, but also to try and expand it in some ways. There is the capability for high-tech futuristic or apocalyptic dystopia. Your character may be as intricate as you decide to create them. There is no penalty for taking multiple archetypes to try and shape a character more in the way that you d like. Become a vicious vanguard who fights like that of a sole army, or the silent longshot, taking out enemies from afar one by one. With a setting of high technology, the things you can create are truly limited only by imagination. As a tabletop game it is recommended to play on a game grid, but it can just as well be run as a Pen & Paper RPG, of just characters and spoken word. In the following pages you ll find pieces to build the puzzle of who your character will be, mentally and physically. Simple Gameplay Needs Gameplay Extras This booklet itself. Character Sheet (few provided in back of booklet and digital versions available online) Set of dice, d4 through d20 o A 4-sided, 6-sided, 8-sided, 10-sided, 12-sided, and 20-sided die. Miniature figures to represent characters, figures, objects, or more. A battle / gameplay grid to measure distance squares. 3

5 Modifier Guide 0-1: : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : :12 Left number Statistic Value Right Number Modifier Bonus Creating a character Your character is who you become, who you are, the entity that represents you inside of S0urce C0de. The personality, race, and habits are all up to your design. Here is a process for creating a character. 1. Distributing ability points a. All of your character s abilities start at 12 and you have a pool of 42 training points which you may distribute and increase the ability score of an ability up to a maximum score of 25. i. Says maximum starting score because there are ways to increase and change scores after character creation. b. You will need 8 ability totals. c. The stat totals will be input in 8 different stats. i. Strength (Str): Melee Related, Physical Activity ii. Accuracy (Acc): Range Related, Use of gun weaponry iii. Intelligence(Int): Science, technology, skill points iv. Charisma (Cha): Charm and diplomacy based checks. v. Psiessence (Psi): The psionic essence used in magic, mental resistance. vi. Constitution (Con): Health, Fortitude, physical resistance. vii. Dexterity (Dex): Dodge, movement, agility, speed, ranged weapons. viii. Durability (Dur): Natural defenses, damage resistance, armor, total defense. 2. Then picking a race, and an archetype. The race may slightly alter your ability scores and archetype is essentially your character progression. 3. Skill points gained are related to by the archetype picked. Skill points are determined by the character s Int Modifier + The number defined by the archetype. At level one they receive triple that number but then every level after it is their Int modifier + the number defined by the Archetype. 4. Determine totals of Total defense, Initiative, Saves, health. a. For total defense (TD) it is the amount total of your durability bonus, plus the bonus from any armor (natural, worn, temporary bonuses from skill), plus any shield bonus, plus any other miscellaneous bonuses. i. TD = Dur modifier + Armor Bonus + Shield Bonus + Misc. Bonuses b. Initiative is determined by adding up your dexterity bonus, plus any bonuses from talents, and any other addition modifiers. i. Initiative = Dex modifier + Archetype Bonus + Talent Bonus + Misc. Bonuses c. Saves, also known as your Tactical Rolls, are the different bonuses that affect your character s ability to resist different effects. 4

6 i. There are four different types of tactical rolls, as listed on the next page. The tactical roll total will be determined by the stat it takes from and any other bonuses that apply ii. Tactical Roll = Stat modifier + Archetype Bonus + Misc. iii. Health, at first level, is your HDT with whatever the max roll would be + your con modifier. If your HDT is a D6 and your con bonus is a +3, then your health would be 9 at first level. Every level after that you roll the die related to you HDT and then add your con modifier. HDT is determined by the archetype that you pick. 5. Choose up to 3 talents that you meet the prerequisites for. 6. Every character starts with a total of 2,000 Metz. 5

7 Character Sheet Guide There are a few different things of note on your character. More detailed descriptions are listed here. Stats Strength (Str): Melee Related Accuracy (Acc): Firearm Related Intelligence (Int): Science & Technology related. Charisma (Cha): Bluffs, Diplomacy, Charm related. Psiessence (Psi): Psionic Essence or Psiessence used in psionics/ MR Constitution (Con): Health, Resistance to poison, gas, and such, Etc. Dexterity (Dex): Dodge, movement, agility, throwing or ranged weapons Durability (Dur): Physical resistance, total defense {TD}. Total Defense (TD) Total defense is the term used for determining whether you hit an enemy or they hit you. When you roll an attack, you roll to see if you hit. To see if you hit, your attack roll must be equal to or greater than your target s TD or total defense. TD has a base of 10, then a bonus of your modifier from the Durability Stat (Modifier Chart listed on PG 5.) After that there is any increase by the following. Natural Armor Body Armor Augmented Armor External Shield Physical Equipped Hand Shield Psionic Increased Protection Initiative (Dex) Initiative is dexterity based so you can take the modifier and put it into the initiative spot. There are talents that will allow an increase in this score as well. When deciding who goes first, and then the turn order, each character rolls a d20 and then adds their initiative bonus. The highest value will go first and then in descending order of scores. If a tie, involved characters will roll once more to determine who goes first in their turn order. Saves (Tactical Roll) Dodge: Avoiding injury partially or fully depending on roll. Could be used in situations with explosions, flames, traps, or the like. Dex based. MR: Mental Resistance. Avoiding of mental changing things, especially in computers or technical beings, and related to sight or illusions. Int Based WR: Will Resistance. Avoiding of thing that would affect players mind using psionics or psionic related ability that affect actions. Psi Based PR: Physical Resistance. The resilience of the character s body as a whole. Con Based. To determine what a character must roll for a Tactical Roll we will go through a scenario. Person A and Person B. If Person A threw a grenade at Person B, Person B would get a Dodge Roll. The number they would have to roll would be determined by the attack value they rolled. If Person A rolled a 14 and had an attack bonus of +4, then roll that Person B would need for a Dodge roll would be a total of = 18. A total of 18. 6

8 Actions There are a variety of actions that characters can complete. Some of these determine when you can act during combat and how long they would take during combat or even outside of combat situations. Base Action: An action, such as an attack, using a psionic ability, using a skill., or even using an ability. o A move action is considered a base action. o Unless stated, most actions will be considered a basic action. Full Round Action: An action that requires a greater amount of effort or preparation but with usually a much stronger or greater output but requires the character s full turn to do so. Rapid Action: A swift action done during a character s turn that a requires fair amount of effort. Although it does not count as a basic action, you may only use one rapid action per turn unless otherwise stated. Free Action: These are actions that you can do at any point or at any time that require practically no effort, such as talking to another character. There is no limit to free actions that you can perform during a turn. Resting You have won the fight! Or you died. We ll say you won. Battle-scarred and exhausted, you need to restore yourself to full health. There are different items like med kits or abilities that can do that. Then there is also resting. For every hour a character rests, they may restore twice their constitution modifier, to a minimum of at least one, even with a constitution modifier of 0. Resting although, does not stop bleeding automatically. If a character is bleeding, they must stop the bleeding first for resting to actually take effect. Example: A resting character with a constitution modifier of 6 rests for an hour and regains 12 health points. Combat After the order is determined, the person going first (which could be a player character or one of the session leader controlled characters) may take their actions for the round. o Each round is a total of 10 seconds. o During a character s turn during the round may do one of the following during their turn Two Base Actions Note: To perform an attack action twice in one round, you will have to have an ability that allows it. Note: Weapons that have multiple shots, I.E. a Handgun that has 2 shots, those two shots are considered one attack action. One Full Round Action o Characters may also perform a rapid action if they are able, though they are primarily abilities, psionics, or powers that will be listed as such. o For psionics and abilities that say they last, that means that they last certain time this can be checked by comparing the round time. Certain abilities, psionics, powers, or talents have differences in the numbers such as saying they last a varied time depending on whether or not the user is in combat. If your character s health reaches 0 to -9 health they are unconscious. If their health reaches to -10 then they are dead. In combat, these are the stats that relate to the different bonus with attacking and damaging. Attack Bonus Damage Bonus Melee Strength Strength Ranged Dexterity Dexterity Firearms Accuracy None 7

9 Example of Gameplay Here we will run through an example combat situation just to go over some basics and potentially answer questions that weren t answered before. You come across an enemy armed with a pistol. You are holding a rifle and there is a grenade on your back. Since both characters are aware of each other, you roll initiative to determine who goes first. o You roll your d20 and get a 12 on the roll. Your initiative bonus is a 4 so your initiative total is 16. o The enemy rolls and lands a 15. Their initiative bonus is a 3 making their initiative total an 18. o With a higher number of 18, the enemy goes first. The enemy moves into a spot of cover and then takes a shot. o They roll an attack with the d20 and roll a 12. The attack bonus they received to using a firearm is a 7 giving them a total attack bonus of 19. o Your TD (Total Defense) is a 21 thus their attack misses you. o By taking cover and firing they have used up their whole turn, switching to yours. You move forward quickly and roll your attack o You roll a 13 and have an attack bonus of 7 with firearms for a total of 20. Your rifle allows for a second shot so you take a second shot and roll a 15, adding the bonus of 7 making it 22. o Their TD is 18 so both shots hit. o Each shot deals 1d8 damage. You roll the first d8 and it lands on a 7. You roll the second d8 and it lands on a 5. The total damage they take is 7+ 5 = 12. The opponent takes 12 damage, and had a total health of 10, so they were reduced to -2 hp. At -2 HP (Hit points) they are currently unconscious and bleeding out, losing one HP every round. You have won the encounter and now are able to loot. 8

10 Leveling The way leveling works is that you need a total amount of experience to be considered that level. At level 1, your starting experience total is 0, but when you have reached a total of 2,000 experience you would then reach level 2, and so on. The amount needed is listed in the experience total chart to the right. Also, at level increments of four, you are able to take a bonus talent that you meet the prerequisites for. This is also listed in the chart to the right. When leveling up, different archetypes vary in the amount of skill points they gain from leveling up. Taking Talents Upon character creation, you are able to take up to three starter talents. (As long as you meet the prerequisites, like needing a certain stat value or skill points invested in a skill). The talents do not have to be taken immediately and may be taken further down the line if the character does decide to take their time in determining what they want to do next. Level Experience Total Needed Bonus Talent , , ,000 1 st 5 15, , , ,000 2 nd 9 75, , , ,000 3 rd , , , ,000 4 th 17 1,300, ,800, ,550, ,600,000 5 th Codex Knowledge Each archetype has codex knowledge. These define which weapons a character can use without any penalty. Characters without Codex Knowledge in a weapon type, receive a penalty of -6 to attack rolls with the weapons related to that codex. If a player starts as an archetype, then levels up and takes a level in a different archetype, any new codex gained adds to their useable list, and they do not lose the ones they gained from their first archetype. 9

11 Base Gameplay Mechanics There are always a bunch of base things to learn in games that can be hard to remember so here is a quick small, basic guide that notes things which will be referenced throughout the handbook. If playing on a game board, each spot is representative to 5ft Character movement states a number next to their racial type and that number represent so how many blocks they may move with base action. In relation to the bullet above, a movement of 4 is = 20 feet, 5 = 25ft, 6 = 30ft, and so on. The Average jump height is 2ft up into the air o Specific races may state otherwise about their base jump height Metz, the in game currency, can be used with a digital form as if with a card or the like. It can be a physical of coins or paper. There will be different types of the coin and paper currency so they can be used to represent all sorts of amounts. There are 3 different physical attack types and most weapons will have this listed next to the weapon itself. It may say something such as Melee/Ranged, or Melee/Firearms meaning it has the capability to do both things listed, and it will show the two different damage types. Melee: Strength based and involves everything from using fists/claws/physical being, melee weaponry, picking an item up and swinging it while still holding on. Weapon Types o Unarmed, Claws, Blade, Blunt, Melee Laser, Staff. Ranged: Dexterity based. Throwing knives/grenades/shurikens/ Archery. It is basically anything that is being shot as a projectile but not from a gun or firearm related object. Ranged does include things like the Crossbow and Bow because they are not Gun based weaponry. These things are more projectiles that require more of a physical skill to use. Weapons Types o Bow, Crossbow, Thrown. Firearms: Accuracy Based. Pistols, rifles, shotguns, sniper rifles, laser pistols, rocket launchers. The usage of firearms does not apply a damage bonus from the modifier bonus by taking into consideration that the amount of force applied by the user does not increase the force dealt with the weapon itself. Weapon Types o Pistol, Submachine Gun (SMG), Assault Rifle, Shotgun, Sniper Rifle, Laser Pistol, Laser Rifle, Special. 10

Unlike most of the other archetypes, this archetype will directly end up using two different ability scores because of their use with the bow. A difference in bow usage is that when using the bow, it relies on Accuracy for ability to hit and dexterity for damage and power in pulling back. They will be trained in some slight unarmed combat in case they are unable to use their bow. They can buy materials and then create specialty arrows that give them the ability to be a deal more damage or even create a variety of effects. Usage: A quiver is built with the capability to work on their own.

27 Status effects Status effects are conditions that can affect characters with a variety of different, you guessed it, effects. They can vary from losing hp over a certain number of rounds, to being unable to take actions during your turn unless a specific condition is met. This section is to outline and describe the specific details related to terms that you will encounter. Addicted (Item): An addicted character needs to have their item that they are addicted to once every 8 hours or they suffer -4 to rolls until they do. If they 3 days without their addicted item they suffer -8. If they go an entire week they will die from immediate withdrawal. Bleeding: The Bleeding status works in a way of the character who is bleeding is taking constant damage. Most things bleed but some weapons and injuries can cause more bleeding than others. A weapon or effect related to bleeding will have a number in parenthesis next to it like so, Bleeding (1). That says how much damage the bleeding effect does. The number of turns that it lasts will be listed in the weapon or attack as well. There s also a % chance for if bleeding will activate. To roll the percentage you must roll a d10 and get the number on or above to make the effect happen. An example is listed below. Bowie Knife: Upon damaging an opponent, the bowie knife has a 40% chance to Bleeding (2) for 6 rounds. To stop the bleeding effect a character can take a standard action to stop the bleeding effect for that turn. Certain items can also stop bleeding prematurely. Bleeding can only affect character with flesh. Blinded: A blinded character cannot see, whether it be from something causing partial or temporary blindness, or they are naturally blind. While blinded, a character has a 50% miss chance to hit another character. They also get a -4 bonus to their TD. Confused: A confused character must roll a 1d4 for each round for the duration of their confusion. The result they end up with determines what they do that turn. 1: They attack themselves (roll to hit) 2: They stand there and do nothing 3: Attack the person closest to them (roll to hit) 4: They act normally Dead: If a character s health points are -10 or below they are dead. In certain circumstances the bodies of dead characters are taken and repurposed for different users. Deafened: A deafened character takes a -4 penalty to their Dodge Save unless they can actively see the cause. They also receive -12 to any listen checks that they roll. Defenseless: A defenseless character is sleeping, unconscious, paralyzed, bound or tied, or in some other way they would be helpless. Ranged attacks against defenseless targets get a +4 attack bonus. Melee attacks receive a +8 attack bonus. Defenseless characters also receive a -6 to their TD. A character may inflict a Death Blow to a target that is defenseless by taking a full round action. Disarmed: A disarmed character loses or drops their weapon and must take a base action to pick it back up. 26

28 Dying: A dying character is a character whose health is anywhere from -9 to -1. A dying character is also unconscious A character who is dying may be patched up and stabilized. This occurs by healing them or using an item purposed just for stabilizing them, or as long as they are able to reach an HP of 0 or higher. A character left dying for over an hour without assistance dies. Fatigued: A fatigued character takes a -4 penalty to their strength and can only move at half their speed during the time they are fatigued. Fatigue lasts until a character rests for at least 2 hours. Some items can heal fatigue. Stabilized: A character who was dying but the bleeding status has been stopped is considered stabilized. A stabilized character does not take damage when they make an action but if they are under 0 health they are still only able to make one standard action. If they are stabilized and above 0 health they may act normally. Unconscious: An unconscious character is considered defenseless and thus cannot defend themselves or take actions. Intoxicated: An intoxicated character takes a -4 to all their rolls for the duration of their intoxication. Invisible: An invisible character gains a +4 to their attack roll against enemies that they can see. They are visibly undetectable by the naked eye normally although it does not affect the sound of footsteps or movement. Paralyzed: A character whom is paralyzed cannot move or make actions (unless stated otherwise). They are frozen in whatever position they were last and they are considered defenseless. Stunned: A stunned character cannot take actions. A stunned character also takes a -4 to their TD for the duration of the stun. 27

29 Gameplay Terms Cover: There are two types of cover, half cover and full cover. Entering and exiting cover are both free actions. In order to enter cover the player must approach the wall or object and state that they are using it for cover. Half cover provides a 25% miss chance, while full cover provides a 50% miss chance. DC: DC stands for dice check. This just refers to what your roll total has to equal for something. Say a poison requires a DC 16 PR save. You need to roll a total of 16 with your physical resistance save or be affected by the poison. Death Blow: The Death Blow, if with a melee weapon, deals an automatic critical hit on a successful attack. If the Death Blow is with a ranged weapon and the attacker is more than 30 ft. away, it only does double damage on a successful attack. If the attacker uses a ranged weapon within 30ft, it functions along the rules of a melee weapon in that it deals an automatic critical hit upon a successful attack. If the Death Blow does not kill the target, target rolls a physical resistance check with a goal of the damage that was taken, and if unable to roll equal to or greater than the damage, the subject dies instantly. Certain characters and races will be immune to death blows or critical hits, thus they would not need to roll the physical resistance save to withstand death. Example: Damage taken from Death blow was 36. o Players rolls Physical Resistance check and their d20 comes up with a 12 o Their physical Resistance bonus total is a 6 o Their character s level is 8 o = 26 o Because 26 is less than 36, the target character dies instantly. Fall Damage: Fall damage relates to how far you fall. For every 10 feet that you fall past 20 feet, you take 1d6 damage. This continues to stack for every 10 feet up to 50d6 or 520 feet. Certain skills, abilities, or items may reduce the fall height and damage. This fall damage relates to falling on solid ground, although if the character falls into water and their fall is less than 100 feet while the water depth is greater than or at least 20 feet, they take no damage. Beyond 100 feet falling into the water, they take fall damage normally. Also if the water is less than 20 feet deep, they take fall damage as normal. Knocked Down: If a character is knocked down they fall to the ground and receive a -4 to all attack rolls while knocked down. They also take a -4 to their TD while they are knocked down. They may stand up but standing up is considered a move action Miss Chance: A miss chance means that before rolling an attack, you roll to see if you would naturally miss your target at first beforehand. A miss chance entails that you roll a percentage. You can do this by rolling 2 d10s (or a single d10 twice and just say whether the first roll is for the first digit or the second digit. Miss chances can be stacked upon each other but up to a maximum of 100%. Also, a miss chance can be avoided by weapons with an area of effect. -Example: A grenade is thrown into the area of a space with a miss chance set for that area, the miss chance would not take affect them. The area effect would still happen normally unless otherwise stated. Score: The world score is referring to the number total next to an ability. A character with a total strength of 23, has a Strength Score of 23. This is different from the modifier, which refers to the bonus related to the score of the ability or the value. 28

35 Weapon Spread This section is dedicated to the description and understanding of the term spread. Spread is a term that will appear in different sections and can relate to weapons, abilities, or other things like it with how they cover the area. Spread can also vary depending on if the players are using a particular type of grid of not. A grid that uses squares is referred to as a square grid, and a grid that uses the hexes is referred to as a hex grid. An example of both grids is located to the right. The Square grid on the top will be referred to as Grid A and the Hex grid on the bottom will be referred to as Grid B. Variable weapons have spread such as shotguns or flamethrowers. If a weapon has a type spread it will state on it the type, such as cone, and the distance of the spread will be listed. Both of these spreads are specifically, a cone which match the figures to the right. Some weapons such as grenades or missiles have a spread area that is just spreading out from the point that they hit. A grenade with a radius spread range of 20 feet is the center point of the blast, wherever it hits, and it then spreads out 20 feet outwards from that point. Figures 1 and 2 are examples of cone spread like you would get from a shotgun s spread, while figures 3 and 4 are an example of radius spread as you would get from grenades and explosives. Figure 1. Figure 2. Figure 4. Figure 3. 34

47 Armor There are a variety of armors available for wear and use, some with special abilities, and some purely just for style. With armor, there is a maximum bonus that you may get from your durability stat. For example, if an Armor said it had a Maximum Durability bonus of +3, even if the total bonus you got was a +5, the maximum you would get while wear that particular armor would be a +3. This is to balance out a bit with the bonuses. The armor is split up into 3 Main categories: Light, Medium, and Heavy armor. Then there are body slots related to the armor which describe where the armor is worn or located. Certain armor even has built in attachments. Body slots for armor are head, chest, arms, and legs. Armor that is worn on the full body will have Full listed next to the Worn area. These have the potential to change in further upcoming editions. Depending on the armor there may be exceptions to match with extra appendages depending on the race. There are also restrictions on the wearer type but those will be listed with statements such as humanoid restriction or such. All the character races listed in this booklet are able to wear all types of available armor. 46
