C01 . Introduction Welcome to Puella Magi d20 First thing on many peoples mind might be the word 'Why?' What is the purpose of this system that the current favorite Magical Burst cannot be used? Magical Burst is a great system to use for casual and text based games, but it severely falls short when it comes to mimicking the Puella Magi universe and making use of a tabletop and figures. The primary difference with this system is that while Magical Burst borrows from more narrative focused games such as the World series, this system borrows more heavily on systems such as D&D. Pathfinders, Tephra, etc. for a more combat enhanced experience. Magical Burst can be a great system though so don't think of this as being better or worse than it, or even competition. Instead this system exists to explore different avenues and ways of gameplay, and to be very simple to create and have a character ready to play within only 1 0-20 minutes. As with Magical Burst, the game is focused around Magical Girls, but Magi of either gender are perfectly acceptable! Call yourself a Magi, Magical Knight, Magical Boy, Puer Magus, your pick. Keep in mind this game does center around middle school and early high school characters though! Game Masters (GM's) feel free to be flexible though and implement older characters and adjust the settings. Leveling may seem pretty quick early on until Level 5, where players will begin to see that leveling begins to take a lot longer than 1 -2 games. This might become a issue though to those who want to play massive sessions, 5 hours and beyond. This game was tested in sessions lasting between 2 to 3 hours, so it's suggested you set breaks around that time for XP to be calculated and levels added. As with any tabletop game that makes use of a tabletop, this system is not for those who want text based RP sessions. This system was made in mind to adhere to voice communications and a tabletop to illustrate movement. Hopefully people will find this system enjoyable, and any complaints or questions can be forwarded my way by e-mail at 1 [email protected]

C03. Attribute System Creating a character can be made via a 5d6

roll system, or 20 points allocated between the Attributes. No attribute can be over 6, or under 1 upon Attribute Allocation in character creation. When using 5d6 it's possible to be very lucky, or very unlucky. If your total roll is under 20, add the difference as long as no attribute goes beyond 6. If you roll over 25, subtract until it's 25. No attribute can be less than 1 .

After placing the Primary Attributes, calculate how this effects your Secondary Attributes.

Primary Attributes Dexterity (Dex)

The agility and ability to make quick maneuvers, whether in the heat of combat or simple reflex and the Magi's ability to evade harm. In combat this is how accurate their strikes are, and their ability to evade harm.

Endurance (End)

The Endurance value is how much abuse a Magi is capable of taking. In combat this is how much damage a Magi can simply shrug off and how hard they can hit.

Allure (Alu)

The Allure of a Magi is how they can convince others to do things they would normally not do, or even never do. In combat this can be used to force targets to focus or even attack them.

Technique (Tec)

While Dexterity is natural quick acrobatic maneuvers, Technique is a Magi's intelligence, quick thinking, style and finesse. In combat this is directly related to how many Powers you have.

Hope // Hatred (Hop / Hat)

Consider this the morale of the character and their Hope. This is directly related to how much Magic a Magi has. When given into despair, Hope will turn into Hatred.

Secondary Attributes Stamina Points (SP)

Endurance * Dexterity Stamina is a abstract figure to represent how much damage a Magi can take, or how much they're capable of evading strikes. Outside of the Magi's armor, their Stamina is only 1 . Once Stamina reaches Zero, the Magi is considered to be in too much physical

10

pain or exhaustion to move, and must use their Powers to mend their body. Any damage taken past Zero Stamina, goes into their Magic Points.

Magic Points (MP)

(Hope * 1 0) + Endurance The Magi's Magical Power. If they have no Stamina, any damage taken goes to this. This is used for casting all the Magi's powers as well. The only way to regenerate MP is by using a charge of a Grief Seed. WARNING: If a Magi's MP is brought to Zero, they will DIE. They may make last words.

Action Points (AP)

Magi normally have 3AP per turn. Simple actions use 1 AP, complicated use 2AP, etc.

Magic Powers and Spells

Magic is the route of all Magi. There's a list of Standard Powers Magi start with and Powers gained based by the Magi's wish (Primary), with Secondary effecting the Magi's play style.

Attacking and Ratings

Attribute System

beginning of battle roll 1 d6+Dex to ascertain your order, first person going soonest. Alternatively, Witches and familiars will only attack in response, and those in the greatest peril go first. Read the Combat section for more.

Allure Expanded

Allure can be used as a Minor Action (1 AP) as a ability to attract attention. Use a Opposing Check to determine whether they're captivated. Mindless creatures will attack once they've been captivated, but humans and other Magi may choose to ignore. If do, there's a negative result for them (At the GM's choice), or in combat they lose all their Dex bonus and a minor action until the end of their next turn.

Attributes Expanded

To get a better idea of what a attribute means, think of it like this. 1 is standard weak human, 2 represents a average adult, and 3 is equal to that of a skilled or professional adult. Example: 3 Endurance represents a body builder.

Using a weapon to attack usually costs 2AP to do so. In order to tell if a player hits and how difficult it is, several different Stats must be combined along with the roll of 1 d20.

C04. Additional Rules

Wishing to be a Magi

Soul Gems are gems that lay in the palm wrapped by a golden case. This can turned to a gem and worn anywhere on the Magi or become a simple ring when out of their attire. This must always be visible and within 1 00ft of the Magi for them to use their Magic. When it's over 1 00ft the Magi is rendered comatose and appears dead until the Soul Gem is returned.

The campaign should start with becoming a Magi as either the climax of the first session, but everyone should decide what kind of wish their characters would make and told to the GM, and why the character would make that Wish, and for the GM to work with them on what Primary Power they'd get. Its up to the GM then to intemperate the wording of the Wish, and tell them the immediate effects. This Grief Seeds all have 3 Charges when should be written down and important for the dropped. By using Grief Seeds, Magi can fully rest of the game. regenerate their Magic Points. Using a Grief seed is considered a Major Action and costs Once a contract is made, the Incubator will rip 2AP. When restoring magic, a Grief Seed is held very close to a Soul Gem and the the Magi's soul from their chest, creating a gem with the Magi's Color. The default form of darkness is drained from it, causing it to glow brightly. This drains 1 charge from the Grief Seed and is NOT consuming it.

Earning Grief Seeds

Soul Gem

When Grief Seeds are consumed, mark off on the character sheet inventory as “Consumed Grief Seeds X” replacing X with how many charges remain.

Hope and Despair

Magi uses their Hope to tell how long they can continue to fight. Besides hope is a slot for “Despair”. Whenever something scars the Magi, they gain a additional point in despair. When the Despair value is greater than Hope, the Magi will collapse and become a Witch, their hope turning to Hatred. Once gained, the only way to get rid of Despair is to resolve what gave them despair to begin with. In order to gain Despair, after a traumatic event occurs, ask players if they believe their character would begin to feel despair

12

over the encounter. If they say yes, tell them to add a point into their despair. Alternatively, roll their Hope Attribute as a difficult check to pass. See Difficulty Rating for Difficult Tasks to evade earning despair.

Karmic Destiny

There's two things that makes a Magi powerful, their Hope, and their Karmic Destiny. While Hope may drop and is a figure a character can visualize, Karmic Destiny is not. It's a abstract figure for the GM to decide based upon the Magi's power, wish, etc. Pick the Magi with the highest Karmic Destiny. This can be after the first session and change if it makes sense. Upon death, the Magi is reborn as a Witch and gains +2 Levels.

Gaining Levels

Each Magi starts at level 1 (Or technically they're considered level 0 before becoming a Magi). For each additional level they gain after becoming a Magi, they gain perks. Most Magi should only expect ever to get around level 5, and almost never reach Level 1 0.

Additional Gains for Levels

Additional Rules Gaining Experience Magi gain experience by consuming Grief Seeds. When using Grief Seeds in this way, they must FULLY consume a Grief Seed and cannot “save” a charge, or split it between players. Magi Push the Grief Seed into their Soul gem, causing it to sink and disappear inside, consuming it. A second way to gain experience is by completing Connection Checks. Each player should only receive 1 XP this way per game session. A third and final way of earning XP is through Alignment. Each game you can make a alignment check, which will earn you a Alignment Check Point, and 1 XP.

Opposing Checks

Both parties roll 1 d20+Matching Attribute. Alternatively the defender of a action can use +1 0 to their attribute instead of rolling for a 1 d20. This should be done to simplify and speed the game play up.

Difficulty Checks

Level 2/4/6/8/1 0 Magi gain a additional General Power.

Sometimes you just plain need to know if the PC is skilled enough to do certain things, like pick a lock, how good their leap is and how socially capable they are. Find which Attribute it would make sense in and Roll 1 d20 + matching attribute.

Days End and Sleeping

Magi are human and need their sleep, anywhere between 6 to 1 0 hours each night. There are many rulings as well that's listed as until days end. The end of the day is considered when a Magi decides to sleep and call it a night. Once awake for 20 hours straight, Magi are considered Exhausted. (Read more in Combat). Starting then, Magi will have to roll their endurance check every 5 hours at increasing Difficulty Rating. Otherwise they fall asleep for

C05. Combat System

Initiative

Turn order is considered Initiative. Each players initiative bonus is equal to their Dex. Roll 1 d6+Dex. Those with equal Dex can choose who goes first or roll opposing Dex checks. Alternatively, the person in the greatest peril may have first priority.

Surprise Round

When a target isn't expecting to be attacked, a surprise round is created. Allies do not get to act during a surprise round unless they were expecting it to occur.

Rounds and Turns

Everything a Magi does in combat resolves in turns. A Round of combat is considered to be roughly 6 seconds, and is considered to be the accumulation of everyones turns, both sides of combat. This Round includes all the Magi and the Witches Turns. Each Magi usually receives 3 Action Points (AP) at the beginning of each turn to resolve combat through. Action Points are usually unchanging, but may increase via Powers or Leveling Up. Unused Action Points can NOT be saved for your next turn, and are discarded.

Full Action: All AP

These are actions that take the entire turn for a Magi to resolve. This means they cannot spend any AP during their turn before using a ability that requires a Full Action.

Major Action: 2 AP

Attacking is considered a Major Action. Major Actions are general maneuvers that require high amounts of concentration or preparation to do.

Minor Action: 1 AP

Quickly pulling something out of your receive, creating a magic item, and anything that can be done swiftly within a couple seconds are considered minor actions.

Free Action: 0AP

If it doesn't require a seconds notice to do, it's a free action. Such examples is dropping a item, blinking, etc. Speaking is a free action but only for 6 seconds per turn.

16

Delaying Actions

Sometimes a player may wish to ready a attack and hold off until in response to anothers movement and action. If they do so, their strike will resolve right after the action resolves. Attacks will go off after the target attacks, should they choose to.

Combat Maneuvers

Combat Maneuvers such as tripping can be done using either Attack Rating OR Touch Rating, and must pass the Evasion Rating. If grappling a foe, they can choose to attempt to break free as a Major Action on their turn., and this time roll for their Evasion Rating rather than using the standard value of +1 0.

Grapple Checks

To resolve a Grapple Check, you basically are resolving a Opposing Dexterity Check. Attempting to break free costs a 1 AP if it succeeds, or Full AP if it fails. Grappled targets lose Dexterity in Evasion. Assisting someone break a grapple costs 2AP. Add both parties Dex to the check.

Reflex Rating

Sometimes a Magi's Reflex comes into play, this is their Evasion Rating except with a d20 roll instead of a flat 1 0 value.

Movement

Magi can move at rates of 1 0ft per Minor Action (1 AP). This normally translates to 30ft for a turn dedicated to movement. In this movement, Magi can both leap extrodanary height and drop swiftly to lower locations.

Climbing, Leaping, Falling

Magi's are able to leap vast distance equal to their maximum movement they can make in a minor action. Magi can just as well climb such distances, but must make a minor action to pulll themselves up. Magi fall at 30ft per turn and do not take any fall damage no matter the

Combat System

distance. Magi cannot jump / stop mid air. They can stop mid climb if there's something to grab onto by their turns end.

Full & Partial Cover

Magi cannot attack from Full Cover or be attacked from it. If the Magi has Partial Cover, they receive +2 to their Evasion Rating.

Dealing Damage

When calculating damage, use Endurance if physical, or Dexterity if ranged. Endurance in this case represents how hard the user can hit without harm and pain to oneself. See the Weapons Section for the various types of weapons and how much damage each one of them does.

Critical Success

Rolling a 20 or clearing by 11 + are considered critical successes. See the Victory Checks table (In Additional Rules) for more information on this.

Called Shots & Locations

Upon critical against a magi, roll 1 d6 to determine its location. Each location has its own various effects. 1 : Torso 2: Left Leg 3: Right Leg 4: Left Arm 5: Right Arm 6: Head Shot

Critical Failure

Rolling a 1 is the main way to score a critical failure. In turn, failing 21 + is also a Crit Failure. See the Failure Checks table for more information.

Called Location

There are 6 called locations, the head, torso, and each limb. If a limb takes 1 0 Stamina damage, it's immobilized. Calling a location reduces AR / TR by -2. Once the limb is damaged, the Magi must Mend Self, otherwise face the consequences.

17

Even after mending, they're left with a temporary scar until they mend the scars specifically, which does not effect Stamina. Mending scars does not incite Despair in itself, and only if the Magi is at a bad psychological state doing so.

Bodily Damage

Once a body part is damaged, the Magi must have their Stamina fully restored or they're crippled. Even after Mending, it seriously distresses the Magi until they spend a Mend on healing the remaining scar.

Called Shot Location Effects Head

Damage to the head is disorienting. While damaged, they lose all dexterity to Attack and Evasion Rating.

Arms

Loses the ability to move the arm and use it in combat. Two Handed weapons are unusable. This includes ranged if it uses 2 hands .

Combat System Types of Magic At Will:

Must be actively used to do. Basic Attacks are considered to be At Will.

Passive:

Spells and traits that are always active from here on, unless the Magi chooses to end or start it again at another point.

Reactive:

There are powers that are labelled reactive. These powers must be used in reaction to an event. For a full action, At Will spells can be turned a power into a reactive one, for when a decided condition is met. Reactive will take place either BEFORE or AFTER the condition is met, but this must be chosen! This will occur even if the Magi is killed as result of the condition and it will be assumed that the events go off at the same time.

Legs

Attacking Humans

Torso

Disability Effects

With a Magi's leg damaged, their AP is reduced by 1 , maximum 2. The Magi can still walk but with a limp. Hitting the Torso only does double damage, otherwise no additional effect.

Attacking Objects

Need to destroy a item, door, or something the sorts? Easy. Most standard items, weapons or sword, have 1 0 Stamina. Hard objects like weapons or doors only take 1 Stamina damage per hit unless they're instantly destroyed. Near impervious items like a steel safe can have up to 1 00 Stamina. Near Impervious objects, roll 1 d20 simply to see if the Magi critically fumbles (Natural 1 ) each strike, when their weapon is destroyed, but can simply be recreated by Magic Forming.

18

Magi should almost never attack a human! Such actions will cause Magi to earn Despair should they permanently cripple or even kill one.

Blinded : Unable to see. Attack Rating halved, rounded down.

Disorientation : Magi disoriented and loses all Dexterity to AR and ER.

Stunned : Cannot do anything their next turn. Lasts until listed, otherwise just one turn.

Crippled : Unable to use a hand. Any weapons that requires 2 hands are unusable.

Limping : Lose 1 AP. Can stack up to twice. Exhausted : When Exhausted, -1 AP.

C06. Magic System Magi cannot simply cast any powers outside of Magical Garments. Only powers listed at the beginning "Can be cast outside Magical Garments" can do so.

Puella Magi's magic stems from their wish, making their powers reflect that and their general personality. With a wide extensive list of possible spells, there's almost limitless possibilities for powers a Magi may have. Spells uses Magic Power equal to its Magic Level. Magi can dispel their powers at will.

Secondary Powers

These are special powers unique to Magi that exist to potentially change Magi's playstyle.

General Powers

These are powers that all Magis can learn. Magi's have General Powers equal to half their Technique Attribute, rounded up.

Standard Powers Powers that all Magis have.

Starting Spells

Magic Attacks will work like normal attacks and All Standard Powers may miss. Instead of Dexterity, Magic uses 1 Primary Power Technique for the users Attack Rating. 1 Secondary Power General Spell = (Tec / 2 rounded up)

Primary Powers

Primary Power is the magic that directly links to the Magis weapon and personality.

Range

Range is how far a Magical Ability can be created from the Magi. Self indicates only herself, every 5 feet indicates 1 tile, adjacent indicates it must be right next to her. Most ranged attacks are only up to 20ft. There's also attacked that uses Touch. Unless it has range, Touch requires physical touch with the target, and uses the Allure + Technique trait to hit. This is used against the targets Evasion Rating. Why can a bow or musket shot go only 20ft? Magi aren't skilled fighters. They're middle and early High School students who usually aren't in the best of physical states, nor are very skilled with aiming weapons such distances. In addition, the projectiles from Magi's weapons are made of magic and lose its ability to damage after a certain distance.

have no problem buying clothing, food, and having pocket change. Equipment are usually created by them to do battle. Primary equipment a Magi would have is their weapons.

An example of ranged weapons can be the trademark bow, perhaps a musket, or even a trumpet through magical sound waves. These all do the same damage based on the Magis powers. Unarmed Attacks can be anything, whether it's a kick, punch, or even a hungry bite. They're unique in they can use any attribute for damage calculation.
