Boons, Values, and Numbers

Posted on Friday, April 26th, 2013 at 14:48

T13 uses a unique number system that we call Boons.
The Boons are the numbers you’d normally associate with a Stat in most RPGs, Values are a real-world value approximately equal to twice a % if you are used to games with % based skills.
You can see that Boons have an associated Reduced which is the average of their dice when rolled. If your Boon does not have a dice you can use any dice from higher in the table. When adding Values to find a Boon you want to find the Boon that is equal or greater than the Value you have generated so adding Boon 5 and Boon 4 gives (16+12 = 24 which grants Boon 7). If you need to double reduce a Boon look up the Value just under or equal to the Boon required so Boon 48 reduces to 10 and double reduces to 3.
