Hello, just wanted to say the game look really fun and look like it might fill the Kamen Rider shaped hole in my ttrpg campaign.
Still I had a question, the mechanic of evolution is mentioned a few time in the book, but it's not very clear what it's supposed to do. I understand it supossed to represent the many transformations of Kamen Rider but not how the rules are supposed to work. Could you maybe give an example or something of how it might work in game ?
Thank you in advance !
So! I'm going to add some further clarification into the book very soon, and it goes a little something like this:
EVOLUTION
A skill that grants the target a new and more powerful form that changes or augments their skills and items. Evolution skills never cost POWER to use but may have cooldowns.
Usually the standard way that I write out evolution skills is as follows:
[Character name] is EXILED and returns to the battlefield as EVOL WARRIOR [Evolved Title], when they return: [ A special ability of some kind]. [Duration: x turns] [Cooldown: Half of duration]
Here's an example:
Aeden is EXILED and returns to the battlefield as EVOL WARRIOR ENCODE, when he returns: He scans all enemies and becomes aware of either one of their traits or one of their Abilities. Scanned enemies cannot attack him on their first turn.
Evolution abilities are typically tied to a gadget called a driver, which is just a fancy word for a transformation device. I will also be releasing an example list of items that will include evolution gadgets. So stay tuned! I hope this explanation helps break it down in a better way!
I would do it similarly to the standard format, but I'd drop the EXILED part and switch it out for a temporary BOOST.
Like maybe instead of being EXILED, the player gains the ability to move without paying a POWER cost. Or, they gain up to 3 new ABILITIES. Stuff like that. Depending on the theming, I'd go wild with it!
