Heist Tabletop 0.0.5

HEIST, a caper-themed tabletop game. A niche tabletop game for people looking to have fun planning, preparing and robbing big business under it's nose, HEIST is for people who can think and act under pressure, deduce the correct choice when life's on the line, and always have a plan. Lawful Good characters need not apply. This system is unique for three reasons: it's a game focused on preaparing and planning, with less actual action until the actual heist; it's rules-lite yet crunchy, so games can move quickly where they need to and slower when they don't; and all the dice required are a pair of d10's and a d6.

GAME SETUP:

Players: 1 GMPC, 2-7 PCs

KEY STATS:

Name, Age, Height and Weight: player defined. The more in character, the better.
BODY - defines Strength, speed, endurance, health and skill checks
MIND - defines intelligence, endurance and reaction, skill, and weapon checks
SENSE - defines perception, sneak and intelligence
CON - defines perception and clothing, speech, skill and con checks

Stats range from 0-20 points, with 0 being poor, 10 being average and 20+ being excellent. HEIST uses a point-based tiered leveling system, where stats start at 10 and players gain or lose points depending on their desired level (at creation and level-up), as shown below. NOTE: Players can only de-level during character creation.


	LEVEL|POINTS
	=====|======
	-9...|-46
	-8...|-37
	-7...|-29
	-6...|-21
	-5...|-15
	-4...|-10
	-3...|-6
	-2...|-3
	-1...|-1
	Base.|0
	+1...|1
	+2...|3
	+3...|6
	+4...|10
	+5...|15
	+6...|21
	+7...|29
	+8...|37
	+9...|46

Every level change beyond 9 costs 10 extra points. As an example, starting at level 9 gives the player 1 extra point, but upgrading to 12 costs 10 points total; 1 to get to 10 (+1 above Base), 3 to get to 11 (+2), and 6 to get to 12 (+3).


CONDITIONS: (all cap at 50; round non-integers to the nearest half number)

Strength: how much weight you can comfortably lift with one arm, measured in pounds. (BODY x 3 + SENSE)
Speed: ground speed by foot, measured in meters/second. (BODY x 2 / 3 + 3)
Endurance: how much damage your body can take over time and still perform at minimum level. The higher, the better. (BODY + (MIND / 2))
Intelligence: how well you can outwit someone and think on your toes. (MIND x 2)
Reaction: how quickly you can react to events. Defines turn order. (MIND + (BODY / 2))
Perception: how well you can "read the room" and detect motives and traps. (CON + (SENSE / 2))


SECONDARY STATS

Secondary Stats are determined by the core stats and conditions. The difference of these stats is that they can vary based on the actions of the player, allies and other NPCs.

Health: Total damage threshold. Taking more damage than your remaining health results in the player 	begining to die. Using a First Aid Kit or a Surgeons Kit restores life. (BODY + END / 2)
Stress: Pressure due to failed rolls & events, NPC suspicion levels and seeing unpleasent things, like 	a dead ally. Max stress results in 'losing your cool'. (MIND + SENSE)
Fatigue: Energy available for events. Max fatigue means the player falls unconscious, but does not take damage.
Armor: Bonus damage threshold. Cannot be restored, and can block certain ammo types from dealing health damage.

CHECKS: (check relevant charts for more info on stats)

	General: how proficient you are at any common skill. (BODY)
	Weapon: how proficient you can use any given weapon. (MIND)
	Interaction: how well you can interact with and stay inconspicuous against NPCs (SENSE)
	Con: how proficient you are at making duplicates and decoys, and tricking people. (CON)

CHECK SKILLS: (rated from 0-20, where 0 = poor and 20 = excellent)

When performing an action, you must roll against your skill level using 2d10. Getting a roll lower than your level means you succeed in performing the action.

TAKING TURNS

Turns last anywhere from 2 seconds to 5 minutes of in-game time, and depends on the event. Turns are played by doing a list of actions:

	Pre-turn checks if applicable
	Free Actions
	Movement
	Using Items
	General Actions
	Attacking
	Ending Turn

1. PRE-TURN CHECKS

If applicable, when defending, responding or reacting to any other player's action, perform the associated check.

2. FREE ACTIONS

These can be done at any time, and involve moving within the area the player is in, talking, handing someone an item, crouching/staning/going prone, and other actions.

3. MOVEMENT

Movement is done by finding the ammount of squares a player can move, checking speed modifiers, actually moving, and changing stance.

4. USING ITEMS:

Some items may require multiple turns to activate. When this applies, the player using the item cannot attack or use other items, but can move if the item isn't stationary.

5. GENERAL ACTIONS

Examples of these include asking questions, aiming a weapon, interacting with an unconscious/dead body, buying and selling items, selecting a gun's fire rate, and other actions.

6. ATTACKING

Determine the turn length, then roll 2d10 against the correct weapon proficiency score.

7. ENDING TURNS

You do not need to do every action before ending a turn, and can simply end a turn without doing anything to 'wait'.


PASSIVE TURNS

Passive turns are ones spent in a market or doing a job. These turns aren't true turns, as they usually last the whole event. Either roll against the appropriate check/checks, or buy and sell from the merchant.

DAMAGE & HEALTH

Damage is based on the ammo's die pool and area of the body hit. It first destroys armor (unless the item is Hardened) at 50% damage, then health at 100% damage.

CONSCIOUSNESS, DYING & DEATH

Players who either have less than 4 health points or 100% Fatigue will fall unconscious for 1d6 x 3 rounds, afterwards waking up with 90% health. Players who are dying will fall unconscious for 1d6 x 2 rounds, but afterwards will cease to live and become dead. Players who are dead cannot play anymore, and their characters cannot be controlled anymore, although anything they have on their person will stay. Players can revive unconscious players with smelling salts or a First Aid Kit and dying ones with a Surgeon's Kit.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

STARTING MONEY:

Roll 2d10, and multiply by 1000.

WEAPONS:

Weapons are used to inflict damage to hostile NPCs. HEIST is special in that different ammo does different damages, not different guns. Guns are varied in size, weight, type, ammo capacity, calibers available, fire rate and cost. NOTE: Some cities may prohibit certain weapon types and fire rates, and using restricted weapon in the open causes NPC suspicion to automatically jump to 3.

The open market covers places like general stores, pharmacies, gun stores, hunting stores and hardware stores; all the stores in this category .
