Sixth Sun Era D20 System/2E - Second Edition

===SSE 2E (Sixth Sun Era Second Edition)===
The SSE 2E is the original stat and dice system in relation to Sixth Sun Era In-Game text or text chat RP. This system is created by the SSE team and is a direct adaption from the first edition (which was more like a beta system) with major changes to character creation and approach towards turn-based or free-form actions. There is an official spreadsheet used to track a character's stats and abilities from this system which can be found here: SSE 2E Character/Play Sheet (Google Spreadsheet) (version 0.8).
SSE 2E Character/Play Sheet (Google Spreadsheet) (version 0.9) is a variant of the sheet that supports randomizing as well as all the latest updates to perks listed. This version of the sheet always updates to changes with the system.
==== Character Stats ====
In the Sixth Sun Era 2nd Edition, there are nine base statistics every character can utilize for rolling different actions, counters, and saving throws. These rolls are used both during conflicting roleplay inside and outside turn-based encounters. Depending on the archetype of a character, stats can be raised or lowered into the negatives for a character specialization. This will be explained in the Character Creation Steps section of this page. Having certain stats at different levels allows a character to access more perks but lose out on utilizing other perks as well during perk selection. When certain stats are used for bonuses, they can trigger exhaustion which can be found in stamina. Certain perks that have stat requirements cannot be used if a stat bonus is not applied for a turn and exhaustion turns can cause this to happen.
SSE 2E Universal Stats 	SSE 2E Universal Stats
Stat rolls always use d20s	Stat rolls always use d20s
Strength [STR] 	is a stat that is used to improve rolls related to physical feats like breaking a boulder, lifting actions, and breaking free from physical restraint. This also aids strength melee-based attacks.
Movement [MVT] 	is a stat that is used to improve rolls related to physical feats like dodging, sprinting, and parkour. This also aids multiple-hit or speed melee-based attacks and dodge counter rolls.
Nature [NTR] 	is a stat that is used to improve rolls related to physical or mental feats like personal organ-usage, tracking, animal-handling, and hunting. Nature also aids a character's death saving throws and accesses specialized knowledge rolls for biology.
Intelligence [INT] 	is a stat that is used to improve rolls related to mental feats like research, memory, and advanced tech-usage. Intelligence is a stat that introduces different opportunities for attacks and research-alike as well as mental restraint.
Crafting [CFT] 	is a stat that is used to improve rolls related to physical or mental feats like repair, creation, and vehicle-usage. A key stat for those that wish to utilize the pinnacle of craftsmanship with recipes and recover destroyed gadgets.
Medical [MED] 	is a stat that is used to improve rolls related to mental feats like wound analysis, first-aid, and enforced health recovery. Medical is a stat that ensures characters survive and is a key component to body-enhancements as well.
Perception [PER] 	is a stat that is used to improve rolls related to feats like senses, spotting, and aiming ranged weapons. A stat that is necessary when utilizing rifles, investigating, and staying on-guard.
Charisma [CHA] 	is a stat that is used to improve rolls related to social feats like persuasion, performance, and vocal-based actions. An important stat that allows characters the means to influence others or perform exceptionally well.
Constitution [CON] 	is a stat that is used to improve rolls related to health feats like poison-resistance, consumption, and body tolerance. Constitution is needed to improve the usage of health points or survive consumption-based actions.
=== Equations ===
* Stamina Level which is explained in the Strategic Damage System is improved by the character's NTR and MVT stats. Stamina Level = =ROUND(([MVT]0.25)+([NTR]0.8))
* Max HP increases are improved and influenced by STR and CON stats. HP Max=(9+[Level Value])+(ROUND(([STR]0.15)+([CON]0.8)))
* The initiative bonus that influences who starts first during turn-based encounters is influenced by MVT. Initiative Bonus= IF([MVT]=5,3,ROUNDDOWN([MVT]*0.5))
=== Terminology ===
* DIFF/DC represents the dice roll + bonus difficulty. For example, the game master says roll a DC 10 for STR. A participant must roll their character's STR stat (D20 dice). This can also be set by counter rolls between NPCs, players, and the like.
After writing the general amount of lore desired for the character, it is important to create the necessary build and parks to play the individual successfully in many different encounters. The first step would be selecting an archetype which will define the limitations of the character build, beginning abilities, and additional opportunities. Each archetype has different rules to leveling up, a special "action" known as archetype action, different stat limitations, and unique variations to the amount or types of actions they can do. For every turn, a user has a certain amount of action points. The base amount is found in the Action Limitations column of the list below. Some actions may cost more than 1 point and other factors can add more points, or points limited to certain types of actions. More on this topic is explained below.
=== Step 1: Select an Archetype ===
==== The Major Archetypes can be found below which include their features: ====
Archetype Name 		Details 	Archetype Action	Additional Requirement 	Base Hit Points Lvl 0	Action Limitations	Stat Limitations

==== Archetype Limitations ====
Every species is limited to certain archetypes available while requirements must be met to utilize certain options.
All species except eldritch can run every archetype excluding the eldritch archetype. Certain exceptions apply to Human Variant Stasis-Mind which can use the eldritch archetype once they go into their own stasis. Mutants would have to switch to the eldritch species for utilizing the eldritch archetype. The cooperative archetype can only be used if the character has an AI dictating the types of decisions they make. Patrons are required. 
==== What are Actions? ====
During special encounters, writers are put into a turn-based situation where players roll for initiative which determine who goes first on the list of "units" (characters, NPCs, allies, enemies, etcetera). During someone's turn, they have something that is called "actions" or "action points" which determine what they do during their turn. "Bonus actions" are additional acts that do not take up an action point which are limited to what the character archetype and perks determine! Some perks and actions can take up more than "1" action point, so its best to determine what to do per turn strategically! The most general actions are attacks and movement. Attacks usually rely on weapons or physical acts while movement determines where a character changes their position; the most basic actions also have limitations which are specified below:
* Attacking Actions are determined by the weapon of choice or perk(s). Examples of this include utilizing rifles to attack, punching, or Fae abilities.
* Utilizing tools with environment actions will take up "3" action points. Examples of this include lockpicking a door or crafting during combat.
* Movement actions for 1-20 tiles take up "1" action point but sprinting far will take "2-3" action points depending on every additional 10 tiles. Examples of this include walking over somewhere, climbing, or sprinting.
* Switching/Equipping different held weapons require "1" action point.
Speaking does not take up actions and can be done between turns or during other turns. Though speaking-actions like commanding forces or verbal attacks do take up actions, depending on the perk(s)/weapon of choice. Switching equipment does not take an action during turns unless stated otherwise, which usually occurs if the item is heavy or environmental (like a sentry gun built into the ground). Note that actions cannot be repeated in the same encounter unless a perk/action/etc allows it.
==== Certain Action Rules ====
# Attacking the same way or using the same action in a turn is not allowed unless it has a bonus action or a perk/technique allows it.
# All non-marked rules as well as rules marked with 2E apply from the Strategic Damage System.
# All PER D20 bonuses and PER shooting perks up-close cannot be used towards a close-quarters target. This does not apply to shotguns. Specified in the Strategic Damage System.
# Opportunity Attacks: When a user runs away from really close-quarters (1-tile), they must roll a MVT and the opponent can roll a physical STR attack reaction. They will then be safe from this reaction again unless the opponent comes close. This reaction costs "1" action point to do.
=== Character States ===
Prone Status: During combat and encounters, characters can find themselves in different states. Being prone causes the user to lose access to certain standing actions and requires an action to try and get up. This also allows the user to utilize stealth with an improved roll of +1 but only works when hiding. While a target is prone, they have a -5 to countering melee combat rolls if they are in a physical lock.
===== Archetype Actions =====
Differing archetypes have something called Archetype Action which are unique to the archetype of a character. They allow certain actions to receive a discount and are placed in the first slot of the technique/species list on the character sheet always. They are explained below:
Quick Thinking 	An action that allows the user to utilize tools with environment and only take up "1" action point for their turn. 	Once per encounter.
Adrenaline Rush 	An action that allows the user to utilize a movement action of any amount of tiles, taking up "1" action point for their turn. 	Once per encounter.
Harness Power 	An action that allows the user to utilize an additional action point for their turn for patron actions only. 	Once per encounter.
Sharp Tongue 	An action that allows the user to utilize any attack action that relies on their voice, only taking up "1" action point for their turn. 	Once per encounter.
Genetical Mishap	An action that allows the user to utilize an attack or movement action for free but their next turn are locked out from using that type of action.	Once per encounter.
 
=== Step 2: Stat Distribution & Species/Race Selection ===
Distributing stats and selecting perks is a key aspect to truly refining the build of a character. There are nine stats in total and depending on the archetype you've selected, you will be limited to how many points you can put into different stats as well as remove. You will also need to select any benefit/disabilities your character might have for additional stat changes which are listed below. And the most important selection being the race you'd like your character to be which grant a plethora of different actions to utilize. Please note that the species, stat distribution, and benefit/disabilities will determine which perks and techniques your character can have in step 3.
There is a limit to how much points a stat can have as well as deducted. To know these limits, check the Stat Limitations section of your character's chosen archetype in Step 1.
* All stats start with a base 0. 
* Bonus stat distribution points: 5. — (These points can be put into any stat or none at all) (Also known as: The Bonus Pool)
* Subtraction stat points: 6. — (These points can be put into any stat as long as certain stats receive subtractions, brought into the negatives) (Also known as: The Tradeoffs Pool)
==== Benefits & Disabilities ====
For every benefit, the character must have a disability. A character can choose to go with no benefits and disabilities. Certain benefits and disabilities cannot be on the same character as well as surpass the threshold of the minimum or maximum. These are totally optional.
* Base STAT means the stat itself lowers.
* [Action] STAT are specific actions utilizing said stat which lowers the roll when utilizing that certain action.
* If any benefit and disability share the same symbol, they cannot be used together.
* For every benefit, there must be a disability.
* A character can have multiple disabilities.

==== Species/Race Selection ====
There are many different variants of playable species a character can be. Some require special RP moments to occur. A character can only be one species variant, not two or more. One can collect all their actions from the links to each species page but actions at level 2 or higher are limited to two chosen actions per level. These actions can be put in a character's action list which they can then use during combat or RP. Only outside encounters can a writer switch out prepared actions. Every categorized species has different variants that contain a set of actions. Reminder: A character cannot be two or more variants or two or more species at the same time. Characters can also reference some species pages having a secondary list with additional species actions which can be earned/discovered through campaigns or sometimes, depending on permissions to start with.
This is an essential part to creating a character as the variants below can sometimes affect a character's stat distribution! 
Different species gain HP at lower or higher variations from the base improvement of 1 per total level. For example: Androids start with significantly more HP in the beginning but don't gain HP points when they level up. The SSE 2E Character sheet automates the max HP gain for the player.
Playable Species 2E Action Lists	Available 2E Variants 	2E Cybernetics available?		Stat Bonuses 	HP Bonus Equation
True-Blooded Human 	Earthbound Human, Black-Heart Human, Stasis-Mind Human, Banshee-Human, Android-Brain. 	Yes 		None 	+1 per level

Half-Human 	βeta Mutants/Halflings (Mutant/Human), Half-Coil (Coil/Human), Half-Fae (Fae/Human), Foil (Fae/Coil), etc.	Yes 		None 	+1 per level
Programmed Android 	Many Different Programmed Androids, Specialized Project Androids, Sub-Hologram AI. 	Yes 		Program-Based	1st level = 4hp instead of 1

Eldritch Mutant 	Seven Eldritch Branch Types. 	Yes 		None 	Level*1.75
Harrower 	Vanisher, Stalker, Vulcan, Solar. 	Yes 		None 	+1 per level
 
=== Step 3: Techniques & Perks ===
An essential part to creating a character is techniques and perks which make-up the build of a character in total. Techniques are essential for focused skill-sets a character has learned from different professions or experiences in their lifetime. These can come from being a doctor, hunting, and even thievery. Perks are a core part to building a character which majorly influence general types of actions and decisions. There are two categories of perks with three slots available for each. Lifestyle and Conflict perks, both focusing on different aspects a character's interests. Both categories assist a character outside combat and during as well. Many technique lists and perks require certain base stats to be available for a character. 
The archetype action must always be in the first slot of the character's list and cannot be removed.
TIP: Grey out perks and actions the user cannot access until a certain level if planned to use in the future.
==== Techniques ====
A character can only pull actions from three technique lists only [unless perk(s) grants them additional ones] and are limited to the amount of space available in their character sheet:
===== Origin =====
Racial and Technique Actions originate from a character's race variant as well as 1-3 technique lists. 29 slots are available for these actions while 1 slot is always dedicated to the archetype action which comes from the character's archetype. Ensure to specify where the action comes from under Origin. This can be the name of the technique list or species/race variant.
===== Ability Name =====
The name of the action ability being listed. This is always found in the lists and can be used by a character.
===== Dice Mod (Specify) =====
Specifying any dice modification(s) the ability has.
===== Perk (Details, Verbs, Action Cost Etc) =====
Specifying the general thing the action ability can do as well as verbs it produces. The most important thing to specify is the action point cost for turn-based moments. 
===== D20 Stat Requirement/Bonus =====
This specifies the stat requirement of the action as well as any additional bonuses. This lets the writer and GM know what stat adds onto the action, for example a STR-based action can rely on the character's STR base to improve a roll alongside the ability.
===== Access 2E Technique Lists =====
To find the different lists of techniques, please click on this page: SSE 2E Technique Lists. All lists deriving from professions and different experiences are available on this page.
===== Technique Action Limitations =====
Like species actions, all technique actions are available to put on the character's prepared list until LVL 2+ where they can only pick two per level. The only lists that limit the amount of actions that can be taken are martial art technique lists. If the level requirement is too high for a character, they cannot use the action/perk.
==== Character Levels ====
An integral part to perks is the leveling system which inherently allows the character to utilize their perk's higher level capabilities. Every archetype has a different task list to level up accordingly and this can be altered by a gamemaster for campaigns as well as the group themselves. Every archetype task is listed below and an EXP system can also be used as an alternative for leveling up. Upon reaching level 5, a character earns the opportunity to select a single paragon perk from Lifestyle Paragon and Conflict Paragon perk lists each which gives the individual eight total perks in total. 
The Goliath, Android, Fae, and Eldritch species also gains different boosts in HP per level.

==== Lifestyle & Conflict Perk Lists ====
Below are two separate lists of perks a character can have, three from each selection with a total of six. Many perks listed below has a stat requirement a character needs to meet to improve their rolls. If a requirement has a slash between two stats (i.e NTR/PER), the character can have one or the other in that state to have access to the perk.

=== Step 4: Starting Equipment & Currency (Armor, Weapons, Cybernetics, & recipes) ===
Every character must rely heavily on their equipment which also offer different action opportunities and defense against damage. Collecting gear is also an essential part to the SSE experience, allowing a character to truly hone into their uniqueness and prowess. A new character (unless granted permission by a host/GM/group) usually starts with one single equipment starter bundle depending on the general background they wish to begin with.
===== Item Name & Item Type =====
The name of the equipment as well as the type it is with the amount next to it. Only consumables can have a maximum of 12. Weapons and armor can only be a maximum of 1 per slot.
===== Equipment Perks =====
These are special functions a piece of equipment can have and act as actions when utilized in a turn. They will usually have their own action point reduction number.
===== Radius =====
Covers the tile distance of equipment's ability/abilities.
===== Armor Name & Modifier =====
The name of the piece of armor a character has equipped as well as its dice modifier for armor rolls which are used to subtract damage. If the armor piece has a special function for passive actions and/or affects, it must be listed in the Prepared Equipment Actions list.
===== Material & Armor Type =====
Material specifies what the armor is generally made from. Certain ingredients that make up materials offer different DIFF damage walls for certain damage types. For example, a cloak can be fire-proof and if a damage roll with a burn verb lands on the armor type, it must reach or surpass a certain number to deal damage.
===== Body-Part Coverage =====
Represents the specific parts of a general body-part charted in the Strategic Damage System.
===== Damage System =====
For insight on the damage system regarding the base dice and damage numbers of weapons as well as common verbs, check the Strategic Damage System for more details on how combat works in turn-based encounters. 
===== Currency =====
Within the world of SSE, currency is an integral part to high-status settlements with access to the holo-network. Only trade with certain noblest communities access such networks using holo-cards with credit. Other "lower-classed" settlements and environments rely on sub-currencies or trading. To gain access to a holo-account requires robbing/collecting from someone who already has an account/card, starting with an account as a noble-background character, or managing to open an account with a settlement in the story.
==== How Does Armor Effect Stats & Rolls? ====
When wearing armor, some can grant bonuses to stats and specific rolls depending on their perks. Body-parts are an essential importance to covering weak points in combat but can also be a hindrance. Having 5 pieces of armor worn within the armor slots will reduce the user's MVT and stealth rolls (which must be specified separately from the base stat number) by 1 for each armor slot filled after 5 slots. There is also a blocking bonus increase for every MVT reduction, starting at 8 which should also be specified in the sections next to the MVT stat. MVT decreases does not influence stamina length/level as it only reduces rolls.
It is suggested to keep track of this in character notes.
Armor Slots Filled (Wear Count)	MVT & Stealth Dice Roll Reduction	Blocking Dice Roll Increase
0-4 	0 	0
5-6 	-3 	0
7 	-4 	+1
8 	-5 	+2
9 	-6 	+3
10 	-7 	+4
11 	-8 	+5
==== Access 2E Equipment & Recipe Lists ====
====== (Weapons, armors, cybernetics, recipes, poisons/toxins, and quick hacks). ======
To find the compendium of non-player custom equipment, go to the 2E Equipment Compendium Lists. For cybernetics and poison/toxin mixing, they are also found on this page of lists as they are considered equipment as well. This compendium also sorts ingredients, recipes (cooking and crafting), and every existing item in the 2E system. Some fragments of lore can be found affiliated to certain items, but it is best to seek specific pages on certain things instead. Base perks for equipment are also found here, representing many different rifles, tools, and melee weapons so if a character owns a specific type of gun, referencing the compendium is still necessary.
====== Starter Bundles ======
To know all the basic starter bundles, they are found below:
 Combat-Ready Bundle
* Waster Shiv x1 (Origin: Base Melee Weapons)
* Incendiary Bomb x1 (Origin: Consumables)
* Base Firearm x1 (Origin: Base Ranged Weapons)
* Base Firearm x1 (Origin: Base Ranged Weapons)

=== Step 5: Page Additions like Companions & Patrons ===
The final step for finishing a character is companions and patrons. This is considered an extra step which only occurs when a character is required to start with a companion and/or patron. To be able to have a patron, the archetype that must be used is the Cooperative option. Patrons are represented in lore as powerful AI that have integrated with the minds of people and androids, integrating them into a hive-mind of sorts to impose their beliefs as well as goals. Selecting a patron for a character can inherently influence their journeys, some having strict imposing rules/guidelines that must be followed while other patrons may seek initial sacrifices/questionable actions. Companions on the other hand cannot start with a character unless they have selected the correct techniques and perks to utilize them. What sort of companions/pets that the user can have for journeys are strictly combat-based as well as limited to start with. More companions can be available to earn in campaigns. Both Companions and Patrons come with their own distinct abilities as well as actions, where companions also act as an additional unit with three actions while patrons only grant additional power to the character.
 Companion Lists
Distinct creatures that can assist the character in creative ways, a new character can start with only one base game companion animal or companion android as a partner (special permissions required by GM/host/group/DM to start with multiple or mutated animals) if they start with one of the following below:
* The Tamer's Whip (NTR Lifestyle perk)
* Companion Caretaker technique list
* Companion Partner Bundle (Starter Bundles for Equipment)
To find the lists of Companions, head to the SSE's 2E Companion Lists. Recipes for companion androids as well as special companions are also found here!
 Patron Lists
To find the lists of Patron abilities, head to the SSE's 2E Patron Lists. Abilities patrons grant are found here! For information on the patrons and their lore, their respective pages are available on the SSE wiki while also having brief descriptions on the patron lists.
=== Step 6: Character at Max level ===
When a character reaches or is made at final level, they will gain access to paragon perks which are an additional fourth perk for lifestyle and conflict coming from a separate list below. These perks are designed to finalize a character's playstyle entirely with an additional feature that can enhance or change the way this character plays. Paragon perks can introduce game-changing features to a character which could do the following: alter techniques; species abilities; introduce a sub-system; as well as allow the option for a fourth perk from both lifestyle and conflict lists. 
The Function section only specifies certain counters, verbs, rules, or introduced features within the perk description and is not necessary to put on a SSE 2E character sheet but can be mandatory to track in sections like character notes if it is something like a new feature for the character.

CFT +3
INT +3 	Master Inventor 	When inventing a device (equipment), the user can utilize a level 1 technique action's perk (that is not a stat technique) as part of the device's bonus alongside any material's perk description.

The user also has an increase to history and insight rolls regarding vehicles and weaponized machines with a 1d6 bonus to the roll. 	
NTR +3
PER +3 	Ranger 	Utilizing throwing or ranged based actions receives an additional bonus of 1d4 to the rolls.

If they receive heads, the user picks between 1d4 and 2d2 for a bonus to weather status modifiers. If they receive tails, the user picks between 1d8 and +4 for their tile-pinpointing DC. 	
NTR +3
STR +3 	Fighter 	If the user successfully lands an attack or combat training roll without using any technique actions, they can follow it up with a bonus action secondary attack roll with an attack and bonus of +1d4. If that attack roll successfully lands, the user can follow it up with a third and final bonus action attack roll with an attack as well as a bonus of +1d8. This chain can only be done once per two rounds. If this is used for combat training before any combat encounters in the same IRP day, the user will have a bonus of +3 for the rest of the day to all technique actions. 	
MED +3
PER +3 	Forensic 	While analyzing wounds as well as organisms, the user has a bonus to insight with a 1d8. If successfully achieving insight, the user can also be told the exact species action used. If the user analyzes a target while utilizing a species action, the user can reduce that action's roll if used against the user for the entire IRP day by rolling a 1d10 to determine the total subtraction. The user can also utilize insight against a target's INT counter roll to improve a physical healing roll on said target from the user and an ally who was shared this information by +6. 	
STR +3
INT +3 	Weapons Dealer 	While utilizing equipment for attacking, product selling, or as a tool with force, the user can enhance the usage of their rolls while subtracting points from a target's counter roll against the actions made by the user if the number difference is 6 or more from the user's roll. The subtracted points can then be put into the user's attack bank of choice or saved. The user can keep adding the subtracted points until they reach a cap of 20. The user can choose to utilize these points at any amount 20 or lower as their next attack or selling roll. The user must remember to add the numbers as a bonus action. If the user utilizes the attack bank at capacity, it can be considered a critical success. The stored points clear after an encounter ends. 	
CON +3
CFT +3 	Serviceman 	A master handyman, the user can decrease the DC of locks, traps (man-made and natural), repairs (equipment, structures, etc.), and construction by 5 when interacting with it. The user can also increase the rolls of their allies' equipment actions by +5 when at least 12 tiles in the user's radius. The user can select one body-part from the target to have no base counter bonus for allies who received the bonus from this perk (this does not work against mental). If the user is by a chosen target within 3 tiles, they can improve their armor roll by +2 and can only switch targets in the next round. 	
MED +3
STR +3 	Surgeon 	While doing surgeries, the user can avoid harming the target twice during an encounter. While using melee and medical equipment, the user can pinpoint one artery, specific body-part, or organ during a turn as a bonus action, increasing their STR/MED rolls against that spot for their next turn by 1d4. If the user successfully hits this spot, they can flip a coin and if they hit heads, it is a guaranteed critical. The spot is only successfully struck if the user's roll is 10 or more against the target/DC. 	
CHA +3
STR +3 	Enhancer 	With a body attuned to the alterations and power of a patron, the user's body is overwhelmed with quanta energy, requiring strength to retain the chaos.

They lose access to level 4-5 patron abilities but have the ability to transfer 1-10 quanta to a target per point in CHA within 10 tiles. With consent, the user can take the same amount of quanta from targets but if the target resists, both must roll CHA. If a target does not utilize quanta, it can be utilized for different features. 1-5 quanta adds to the target's next STR roll, increasing the kinetic power of the strength-based action but the user cannot give 6+ to a target that does not have quanta-usage. Quanta-transfer costs 1 action point.	
MVT +3
MED +3 	Paramedic 	When failing to heal a target, in the next round, the user's initiative is bumped up to be first if they attempt to heal the target again. If the user successfully heals a target, if another injured target is 5 tiles nearby, as a free bonus action the user can attempt to heal them.

When set to the offense state, the user can increase all their STR & PER rolls by 2d4 but their counter rolls are decreased by 12. In the defense state, the user can increase all their counter rolls by 2d4 but their STR & PER rolls are decreased by 12. When these states are used against DCs, the user can get a critical if their d20 roll hits 18-20 without bonuses. 	
CHA +3
MVT +3 	Swindler 	The user can play three different actions for the same action points spent and choose one to be the correct action done. If the target responds to an incorrect action, the user can beat their play no matter what their roll is, excluding a critical fail. This can only be done by the user once every other round during turn-based as a cooldown. Telegraphing, trading, and thievery actions receive a bonus +5 to their rolls. Movement actions can utilize +3 from the CHA bonus twice only per turn-based encounter. 	
CFT +3
CHA +3 	Producer 	When the user utilizes communication devices, they can increase the sound quality as well as repairs for these types of devices with a bonus 1d8. Outside or during turn-based, the user can set 5x5 radio satellites using radio equipment to increase the connection range by 15 tiles for any device that connects to it. These grounded satellites also increases the user's own radio hack rolls by a bonus +5 if nearby within its range. Radio hacks (radio static and secret poison) can be customized as well as a hypercube's base blast of light attack. The radio static radio hack and blast of light can have their damage type changed by the user, all types being available with a +2 damage bonus. The secret poison can apply any collected poison the user has stored. 	
No Requirement 	Wager 	Having developed their mind towards counting, everything the user sees is a means to chance. The user converts the bonus pool into the stat block [LCK] which is short for luck. Focused on tampering with the probability of critical hits and chance manipulation. Luck will trigger stamina like certain other stats depending on how it is used. The user can now access luck-locked content related to techniques and equipment-based requirements. This stat supports bending the rules, changing DCs through predictions, and support-utility towards other stats. 	Adds a formerly inaccessible stat block, turning the bonus pool into the [LCK] pool.

Depends 	Dreaded Fight 	Select a fourth perk from the normal conflict perk list to use. Requirements still apply to have them. 	Replaced by another perk from Conflict Perk List. Stat Requirements must still be met.
ALL STATS 0 	Wacky Wasteland 	Make all stat rolls NAT 1 or NAT 20 next round for everyone in combat encounters. This can only be used once per encounter. These dice roll changes cannot be traded or kept with other perks. 	
ALL STATS 1 	Skill Stop 	Disable any use of boosts from a target's passive technique actions and character perks until their next turn if the user successfully lands a combat technique action to that target. 	
PER +5
CHA +5 	Mental Simulation 	Once per two rounds, the user can do a trial-run set of actions or decisions in a turn and as a bonus action after, say that was all in the user's head if they choose to re-try. 	
PER +5
CON +5 	Artillery Havoc 	Every turn, the user can choose a target for a guaranteed critical if their next projectile from a ranged device of any kind lands. Once the critical is hit, the user must wait one turn before being able to select a target again. 	
CHA +5
CON +5 	Social Etiquette 	The user can consume two cooking recipes and retain their buffs for the entire day. They can switch out the buffs by eating again in the same day but has a limit of doing this for three times per IRP day. In combat, while the user is buffed by meals, their CHA-based attack rolls gain an additional +5. 	
INT +5
CFT +5 	Hollow Hardware 	Utilizing equipment-based actions and cyborg/android cybernetic actions have an additional action point always and the user can repeat the same actions with equipment unless stated otherwise by the item. 	
INT +5
MED +5 	Scientific Diagnosis 	Once per turn, the user can do a special action that allows them to switch the verb applied to themselves or a target they are next to with another verb. If this is done to the user, it costs 1 action point but towards a target, it would be 3 action points. They can switch a single verb with any other verb that exists except eldritch fear. 	
CFT +5
MED +5 	Crafted Contingency 	Once per turn, the user can roll a 1d8 which then sets the DC number they can use to replace any DC given to them during the round or situation. This is ignored by level 4+ actions, level 4+ recipes, structures (chests, buildings, debris, etc.), level 4+ entities, and MED surgeries. 	
STR +5
MVT +5 	Physique Control 	When the user is struck by an attack, they can utilize their STR or MVT stats to cut down the damage but cannot utilize the spent points from the bonuses for the user's next three turns. This cooldown resets to three turns every time the user spends a point to reduce damage. 	
STR +5
NTR +5 	Aided Naturality 	During exhaustion turns, the user can utilize their NTR as a bonus to blocking and counter rolls. All negatives to rolls are removed during exhaustion turns but HP reduction is increased by 1 point. This bonus only applies during exhaustion turns. 	
NTR +5
MVT +5 	Endless Endurance 	For every point of stamina level the user reaches, that number can be used to assist the user in all their attack/usage/counter rolls during that turn. 	
LCK +5
SL +5 	Combat Smart 	The user can naturally guess the best positions to lessen or increase chances during real-time combat. Attack and counter rolls are considered set DCs and can be influenced by the user's probability tactics in combat. Telegraphing actions and rolls can use the luck stat as a bonus instead of INT. All combat actions and turns that use LCK now trigger stamina. 	
LCK +1 	Critical Banking 	For every point in LCK, the user can store one 1d20 they successfully roll for actions that have a DC outside of combat, choose to fail them and store it which can then be used for any combat roll during turn-based fighting. At the end of an IRP day, any stored 1d20s are erased, 	
Motor Controls Perk 	Advantageous Ghosting 	The user can utilize their highest stat towards their stealth actions. When attacking a target with advantage through stealth and surprise, the user can add an additional 1d2 to their attack. 	
No Requirement 	Hyper Focus 	The user can go into a hyper-focused state, having an increase in concentration with a bonus of +5 but the user's INT, CFT, and MED will be set at -6 for the entirety of this state. INT will not subtract from the concentration bonus. While in this state, the user has an increase in aiming/shooting rolls with a +5. The user can only stay in this state for three rounds with a cooldown of one IRP day. They must retain concentration to stay in this mode. 	
No Requirement 	Calisthenics Core 	Health has been a key factor to the user. One's body is honed and mutated from constant battle. The user's CON stat bonus acts as additional HP which goes down before the user's main HP, secondary set of HP, or any other additional HP does. This does not affect the base bonus to the user's CON. What makes this HP different is it goes down only by 1, no matter the damage output from attacks 1d10 or lower. When the user heals, no matter the amount, it only goes up by 1.	
No Requirement 	Sonic Misery 	All sonic damage the user outputs does tick damage to targets of 1 damage for the next three turns while also applying the eldritch fear verb for their next turn only. CHA attacking rolls receive a +4 bonus from this perk for three rounds it is activated. This has a two round cooldown. 	
No Requirement 	Armored Antiques 	Reduce all incoming damage to the user's high-tech sentries, drones, android companions, and mechs by 2. 	
No Requirement 	Summoner's Mark 	All controlled minions can share and use the user's attack roll boosting conflict perks.

No Requirement 	Plated Unit 	The user can ignore the movement and stealth reductions at 5-6 armor slots (wear count). Every point in wear count can be used to improve the user's blocking rolls for an additional action point. This caps at 10. 	
No Requirement 	Territorial Commander 	While controlling battalions, the user has an additional action point they can spend when utilizing battalion swarms. The user can also utilize the maximum amount of battalions. 	
No Requirement 	Empowered Skill 	For a technique action, no matter the action point cost, it costs 1 action point and the final action that spends the remaining point is guaranteed to be a critical success. This has a one round cooldown and during the cooldown turn the user loses an action point. 	
Depends 	Risky Maneuvers 	With this perk equipped, the user loses additional 3 HP when damaged by any source. A naturally talented combatant, the user is well-versed in their skill-range. This perk allows the user to combine two level 1 conflict perks not equipped by the user to be part of this perk (must still fit the stat requirements to combine), adding the perks' lines after this sentence here: 	
==== Significant Additional Rules ====
These are rules added to a player depending on certain requirements being met or a feature for character sheets. Not all additional rules will be listed here excluding more significant ones. Set rules which were explained within the equations section in the rulebook is also explained below with their abbreviations.
SSE 2E Significant Additional Rules	SSE 2E Significant Additional Rules
Set Rules 	Set Rules
FP 	is a counter known as force points which represents a minor forcefield that acts as temporary HP points which can be regenerated through other means outside healing.
SL 	is stamina length which represents the amount of turns a user can use certain stat bonus actions before going into exhaustion. More information on this is found on the strategic damage page.
IB 	is the initiative bonus which represents an addition to d20 rolls that determine who goes first in the turn order of a turn-based encounter. This is increased depending on the MVT stat.
Additional Rules 	Additional Rules
Quanta 	is a counter that is used differently depending on the patron a character worships/relies on. Quanta can be FP, action points, insanity counters, or a totally different form of tracking but that is dependent on the patron list.
Luck [LCK] 	is a stat that is used to improve rolls related to manipulating feats like set stat DCs, probability actions, certain games, counting tactics, chance/risk/luck focused concepts, and critical successes/failures. Unlike other stats, luck is not considered a universal stat but an additional which overrides the bonus pool section on a character sheet that is sometimes used by All Stats 0 characters and usually to indicate the amount of points the user can spend. This is why All Stats 0 builds can use LCK since it isn't considered a universal/main stat. This stat only applies to the user's own DCs and functions. The stat does not exist nor influence anything if the user does not have the paragon perk Wager. 
* The bonus pool can only be between 5 to -5 which allows the user to pull points out from the stat to put into other stats without using takeoffs but the price is having a negative LCK which now influences DCs differently. If the bonus pool is past 5 due to an all stats 0 build, it will still be considered +5 and all stats 0 perks will still be available to the user. This means perks that rely on the number being higher in the bonus pool will be capped at +5 as well. The user must ensure their tradeoffs box does not go into the negatives or it will be considered a mistake.
* If the stat is within the positives, the user can decrease any set DC by that amount always. If it is within the negatives, the user will increase set DCs by that amount always.
* Every positive point in LCK allows the user to try another stat roll for DCs that have negatives or 0. This does not apply to stats that are in the positives. Example: if a user has a LCK +5, they can roll five more times for a NTR -5 stat roll. LCK bonuses however does not apply to giving more death saving throws. If the user has a negative in LCK, their other negative stat roll deductions are increased with the negative points in this stat.
* Unless said otherwise, this stat cannot influence counter and attack rolls unless it is a set DC.

=== Bestiary & NPCs ===
Highly customizable to suit encounters, stories, and other situations; a general compendium which collects generic enemy types is available for players and game masters to review here: 2E Bestiary.
Game Masters or groups often need to track initiative lists and some fights may scale up to many different large encounters or groups. Click this link to gain access to an encounter tracker spread sheet which can be copied!
=== Weight Situations ===
Where weight can come into play mostly surrounds environments like bridges which have a weight capacity, making it fairly difficult for characters with full inventories, holding heavy items, and/or heavy/multiple pieces of armor worn to cross. This can be dependent on the items themselves with estimated weight and the user's MVT if they choose to take a risk rushing the dangerous environment with the load of items they have.
=== Weather & Environments ===
Different types of weather and environments can majorly influence different rolls, saving throws, and even apply types of damage towards characters lacking resistance for the situation(s). Although this can be majorly customized by GMs for the settings, encounters, and challenges; there are general rules for the most common weathers which once again can be influenced or varying.

=== Mass Encounters ===
These are key components when handling large-scale combat encounters. Unlike normal encounters, attacking and movement rules differ. Utilizing what is called swarms which can be done by a GM with small-scale encounters (combining several units together) but done at a larger scale and given to players for control. For more information on this aspect of RP, go to this page here: SSE's 2E Mass Combat System D20.
Swarms in essence are designed to speed up turn-based encounters. In small-scale encounters, swarms tend to be listed appropriately with units combined to share certain stats and weaknesses. These can be found in the bestiary page and will usually indicate what can be a swarm.
