Five by Five

A flexible, setting-neutral RPG uses a simple task-resolution system based on the d6, with a 6 read as 0. Players choose traits for their characters and roll two dice, multiplying the results to determine success; skill ranks improve the odds in steady increments. Combat rules cover archaic and modern weapons and armor, with open-ended damage for critical hits. Traits can also represent abilities such as magic or super powers.
