Quick rule set for Brik-Kar Wars

Post by Race Bannon » Fri Apr 24, 2020 8:40 pm

Armor and hit points:

Speed Racers come in two classes, Solo and Gunner. Solo cars all have 15 hit points and Gunners have 20. When a car reaches zero hit points, it is no longer running.

Armor has a numerical value, and will be deducted from damage dice rolled each time. For example, if a gun does 8 points of damage, and the target's armor value is 5; 3 points of damage is done to the target's hit points.

Speed and Movement

During the movement turn; one can accelerate, turn, brake, skid, coast - basically anything you can do in a car, you can do in a Brik-Kar.
Speed is defined by the number of car lengths your car travels in a given turn. All cars accelerate at up to their speed value per turn. Cars with blower systems, once activated, must accelerate at least one plus whatever bonus provided by the blower.
Vehicles brake at the same rate they accelerate. Note: Blower systems only affect acceleration, not braking.
Handling and effect success rolls must be made for major maneuvers, crashes, and weapon's effects.
The gamemaster will roll percentage (2 ten siders) against performance values, modifying with bonus dice. Rolling under the performance value will be a success.

Crashes

Crashing causes direct damage to the vehicle's hit points. Crash damage is determined by the cars speed. A car going speed 4 will cause 4 points of damage directly to the victims vehicle, bypassing armor considerations. Head on crashes cause damage to both vehicles.

If you fail a handling of effect roll, you crash crash. Effect damage from weapons are subject to armor considerations. Crashes reduce the speed of a car by 4 after knock on effects and damage are calculated.

Turn order:

1: Initiative 1D6 who goes first.
2: Movement - cars are accelerated, moved and turned. Handling rolls are made.
3: Firing - Weapons declarations, to hit rolls made, and damage.calculated.
4: Aftermath - Gamemaster resolves vehicle locations, conditions, and then effects.

Combat:

To hit is determined by the gamemaster on a 2D6 roll. 7 or greater for light weapons, 9 or better for medium, and 10 or better for heavy weapons. Effect weapons automatically hit when run over/ into. Please note that vehicles with multiple weapon slots get that many attacks per turn.

Bonus dice:

Bonus dice may be used in a variety of ways, and must be announced at the beginning of the game.

1: Deduct 1D10 for each bonus die used to affect performance rating and handling rolls.

2: Add +1 to hit for each bonus die used for targeting.

3: Add +1 to base vehicle speed rating for each die used on vehicle upgrade.

4: Add +1 to armor value for each die used to improve defense.

Brik-Kar Specifications:

Solo: No more than 2.5" wide, 2 .5" tall, and 6.5" long.

Gunner: No more than 4.0" wide, 3.5" tall, and 7.5" long.


In the end, the gamemaster will have final say over all matters, with fun and destruction being the overall goals.

Comments or questions appreciated.

Weapon classes and damage considerations.

Light weapons: Includes light infantry weapons retrofitted for high performance. Range is relative to damage. The lower the range, the higher the damage. Light weapons also include oil slicks, caltrops, or other small items meant to interrupt and decrease handling rolls. Damage suggestions; 1D6 + up to 6 points in damage from bonus characteristics of your weapon.

Medium weapons: Ballistic weapons in this class include heavy caliber machine guns, grenade launchers, and small rocket launchers. Handling and interrupt weapons would be mine layers and paint sprayers. Damage suggestion for medium weapons is 2D6 plus up to 8 points in bonus damage.

Heavy weapons: Classified as anti-armor, anti-aircraft, and anti-personnel. Include area damage and knockback effects. Interrupt weapons include flamethrowers and flaming oil slicks. 3D6 damage, plus up to 10 additional points of bonus damage.

Ranges:

Light - Ballistic weapons: 12"
- Interrupt weapons: 4"

Medium - Ballistic weapons: 18"
- Interrupt weapons: 6"

Heavy - Ballistic weapons: 24"
