Fort Condor

Fort Condor Mini-game Optional System is a simple system designed to simulate troops and their commanders. All characters start at level 1 and can level up to 10 (max). Leveling is pretty simple. To level, you must defeat 5 troops (Commanders count as 2 troops). Increasing level, you get a choice of +1 ATK or +1 DEF. Troops, however, stay the same.

Classes:

Races don’t matter in the grand scheme of things, but classes do, here are ways to convert your characters for the Fort Condor system:

All d10/d12 classes start with 30 hit points, 20 ATK, 20 DEF.

All d8 classes start with 25 hit points, 15 ATK, 15 DEF.

All d6/d4 classes start with 20 hit points, 10 ATK, 10 DEF.

All MP classes have a number of MP equal to their highest casting modifier or their base amount of starting spells.

Combat/Map/Actions:

To initiate combat, roll a number of d20 equal to the number of hit points a troop has (Commanders always roll 10) + 1 to the attack roll per 5 ATK, if this number beats the defense, you deal 1 damage per d20 that beats the defense. Troops and commanders have 10 hit points.

Water on maps reduces movement (unless you’re a mermaid troop) to 2 going into water and leaving a water tile.

All Commanders (and all troops have only the first two) have 4 actions they can perform in a turn (a move and an attack action, a cast action, or a fortify action):

  1. Move up to 6 squares (except Chocobo Knight).
  2. Attack (melee or ranged) or
  3. Cast a Spell or
  4. Fortify self: You heal 3 damage and you end your turn.)

Every commander has a command radius of 6 squares, if your troop is outside this radius, their ATK/DEF is reduced by 5.
