Fia 「Dice」

NOTICE! This page is undergoing active work. If you plan to do a session, please note that not everything has been finalized and possibly be subject to change.

Furrian Dice, simplified as Fia – Dice (stylized as Fia 「Dice」, also known as FiaD6, Fian Dice or Furria D6) is a light fantasy tabletop role-playing system akin to Dungeons & Dragons.

Furrian Dice a variation of Simple D6 - Third Edition highly modified to and for the world of Furria. It's one step above than Simple D6 in complexity, but is still made simple and easy to learn, especially for those who doesn't like to explain advanced systems.

Character Creation

For a start, create a character find a concept and a name you would like. If you created a Typyl character, you may also use that instead, where most of the character is predetermined already.

You start with the following already in-hand:

  • HP 10 Hit Points for health
  • PT 6 points to spend, more on it later

Other than that, choose a weapon/weapon type. Something tells me you might need it.

Role-playing Aspects

Role-playing Aspects (or RPA) are six different areas used for interaction. This can radically change from game to game, depending on the game master. RPAs are used for different interactions in the world.

When starting, each player has 1 point in every RPA.

COM Combat
– engaging in any combat

MAG Magic
– using magic inside and outside of combat

INT Intelligence
– using intellect or knowledge

SOC Social Skills
– interacting with another character

PER Perception
– doing observation or suspicion

REF Reflex
– acting with movement

You can spend a point (PT) to add +1 to a single RPA of your choice.

Every other non-playing character have these stats as well.

Stats (Optional)

To make fights a bit more interesting, Stats (STAT) are introduced to spice up battles. They are based on a Typyl character's stat growth.

Each player starts with 5 points of each STAT:

When creating a character, you can freely give up to 4 points and add it to their inverse.
(We don't recommend spending a PT here when creating a character)

STR Strength
– Physical Damage, ranged or not
– Inverse: RES

RES Resistance
– Magical Guard
– Inverse: STR

SOR Sorcery
– Magical Damage
– Inverse: DEF

DEF Defence
– Physical Guard
– Inverse: SOR

SPD Speed
– Speed, helps in dodging
– Inverse: VIT

VIT Vitality
– Vitality, also adds to your health
– Inverse: SPD

You can spend a point (PT) to add +1 to a single STAT of your choice.

Every other non-playing character have these stats as well.

If creating a character without a template, simply draw 9 blank circles in a line horizontally with the inversing stats on each side. You can optionally exchange the 5th circle to a line to be clear in the middle. Then fill in the circle towards the direction you have more points in.

Example: STR ○ ○ ● ○ | ○ ○ ○ ○ RES = +2 STR -2 RES = 7 STR 3 RES

Skills, Aspects and Quality

Skills

Skills are free-form and entirely made up to the player. It cannot be too broad as long as it can cover a field of expertise and never usable outside a specific area. An example of this is “Ranged Combat” which is as broad as it should get but can build upon it into something a bit more specific like knife throwing followed by knife aiming.

You can give yourself a skill by spending 2 PT, but when creating a character only 1 PT per skill is necessary.

Remember when creating a character, you start with no skills. Be careful, on spending them all on either STATs or RPAs.

Weapon Skill

Weapon Skill is a free skill coming from your weapon of choice, it should be related to your weapon of choice and must not be too broad to cover all of it. It can be as simple as “Bash” for bash weapons. You can only have one weapon skill.

Quality

Qualities are very broad skills, jobs or a stereotype like Soldier, Attentive, Strong, Talkative or Smart for instance. You can only have a single quality.

Aspects

Aspects refers to the 60 Aspects of Furria. Aspects can give bonuses to actions related to the specfic aspect. When creating a character, you can choose up to 3 aspects and you can give up an aspect slot to power up another aspect.

Task Resolution

For tasks resolutions, roll a number of d6 (six-sided dice) plus one based on how many skills you have that would reasonably help you doing the task. After rolling, pick the dice which becomes your result. For every other dice than the one picked, add one more point that faces up with a 6.

Non-conflict Interactions

Roll Success? Degree of Success
0- No, and…, and… 0 Heavy Critical Failure
1 No, and… 0 Critical Failure
2 No 0 Failure
3 Yes, but… 1 Partial Success
4 Yes 2 Success
5 Yes 3 Success
6 Yes, and… 4 Critical Success
7+ Yes, and…, and… 5 Critical Success

For interactions that are not actively resisted, (like scenery or environment) refer to the “Success?” column on table in the right.

Rolling a critical failure means you failed and a simple bad thing happens, a partial success that you succeed but something else bad happens despite your success and a critical success means that you succeed and another good thing happens. The effect is greater the more points you get in a roll.

It is very unusual to gain a heavy critical failure where you fail and two bad things or a worse result happen. The only way to get it is somehow having “bad luck” where your chances of success is decreased.

Specific Situations

  • If the task is hard but manageable without special knowledge, the Game Master may impose a “point penalty”. The penalty is subtracted from the roll.
  • If the task is advanced and requires specific knowledge, the Game Master may impose a “dice penalty”, where a whole dice is subtracted. This could end up with 0 dice, making the task impossible
  • If the task is easy enough, they will never have to roll for it. If the task is easy enough to offer a bonus to a roll, simply assume it was a success.

Conflict Interactions

Any interactions that has conflict are all considered a form of combat, be it a social, physical or magical combat. For conflicts the table for non-conflict interactions are not applicable.

Social Conflicts

In social conflicts and alike, roll again for “damage” then the damage will be the following:

Dice result + User RPA - Rival RPA
With the RPA being dependent on the situation at hand.

Their social HP will be reduced based on the result. When either has their HP go down to 0, the conflict resolves in a success or a failure based on who won. If the player wins, they finally got their information, or discount, or convinced them to turn around and run for some reason.

Actual Conflicts

In actual conflict where life is on the line, it goes exactly the same as a Social Conflict.

There will be turn order, however, which is dictated by:

  • Character's REF value, + dice result
  • Highest being the first
  • If a tie is done, both will have to roll every time when their turn comes

If STATs are involved however, refer to Actual Conflicts with STATs.

Tip: If your character dies, do not worry, they are not completely dead, thanks to the rules of Furria! You can find them back at your last “save/rest point”. (Like the town. A good idea to retreat if that's the case.)

Actual Conflicts with STATs

If STATs are involved, stats are caculated this way instead, depending on the situation:

  • Attacker's roll + Attacker's STR - Defender's roll + DEF (physical); or
  • Attacker's roll + Attacker's SOR - Defender's roll + RES (magical)

The all of the character's HP also changes accordingly:

  • Your COM value + your VIT value + 10
  • Your normal HP will be called Social HP in this case and the ones used for battle are called Battle HP

Turn order will be the same way but is now also dictated by both REF and SPD with the role of the dice. If there was a tie, the higher speed goes first. If they also have the same SPD, the same is done as before: both will still have to roll every time when their turn comes.

Character Progression

After a conflict or a session, the Game Master may give out 1-4 PT of experience.

The PT can spent in a number of ways:

  • 1 PT for a single STAT
  • 2 PT for a new skill
  • or 3 PT for a single RTA

Trivia

  • The first physical playthrough of Furrian Dice was in February 10, 2018, with the game master being wishdream. This first run was done to test the mechanics of the game, which is done later.
