====== Ability Score ======

//Ability Score// is an unusual tabletop RPG. It provides a **few simple mechanics** for play, as well as a framework for character creation. You then **decide which stats** to apply to your characters.

It's based on the classic //Dungeons & Dragons// ability score, with modifiers. You roll 3d6 for each one, or start with 10 in each and add/subtract evenly. But each genre will have its own custom ability scores, from Galactic Knowledge to Fast Feet.

During the game, you then **roll 2d6** and add the appropriate modifier. A table tells you how well you do, from disastrous failure through failure with a benefit to spectacular success.

There are also rules for damage and healing, magic, and psionics.

The game includes sample ability scores for a wide variety of genres, including:

  * The Cat Kingdom
  * Heist
  * Heroic Fantasy
  * Horror
  * Psychic Cold War Espionage
  * Science Fiction
  * Superheroes
  * Supernatural Post Apocalypse
  * Tramps vs. the Occult World

And it all fits on a single page.
