ONYX is a TTRPG which I am planning on making at some point, much of my work on it has been lost so I have decided I will document it here instead. I am planning on it having five player species to start with, more may be added in supplementary materials, but those will be worked on at a much later point, the ones I currently have are Human, Ghoul, Krukuri (junglefowl people), and Warbeast (a sophont beast created by one of the major factions for war). The classes I currently have are Sawbones, Brigand, Invoker, and the Berserker, I will describe these classes at a later point and eventually, they will get their own pages.
The (as yet unnamed) lands of ONYX are dangerous and strange, inhabited by varied peoples and beasts.
Combat will be tactical, each body part (head, individual limbs, torso, tail when applicable) can be targeted and if they take enough damage, they may either be severed or damaged in the case of the torso. Body parts may also be altered or replaced entirely in some cases (either with improvised prosthetics, or with parts from slain monsters). Combat is not intended to be to the death, in most cases opponents will flee or surrender if their morale reaches a critical point, and in the case of player characters reaching a similar critical point, sophont opponents would typically incapacitate them and hold them captive. Player characters are part of a mercenary company (which I will create an optional table for randomly generating the name of), not all jobs they can take are directly related to combat however, they do what they must in order to gain money, power, and experience.
Stats are still a work in progress, so this section will likely be changed frequently. I will also likely rearrange them once I feel that I have enough.
There exists two main category types, the first is simply called Category and the second are known as traits. The three Categories are Beast (natural creatures), Monster (unnatural creatures), and Sophont.
The existing traits will be listed below. No trait is exclusive to any specific category.
ONYX is based off of a dream, its name, setting, and several of its general concepts originated from that dream.
