But the rewritten Adventures do fill that role, and a group thst stays fairly on rails can imagine their characters exist in the future novels in the background.This is "Yes/Both/And/Neither" territory. It is not a 5E engine game, or even a D&D or d20 variant strictly speaking. But the resolution mwchanic is rolling a d20 against a target DC with Attribute & Skill modifiers with a pretty familiar mathematical spread. There is advantage and disadvantage, but it has some different details (can apply.yo damage dice, stacks, etc).But the Attributes are different: Strenth, Speed, Intellect, Willpower, Awareness and Presence are the attributes, which are just plus modifiers (0-3 at Level 1, capped at 10 by Level 20 if one focuses on upping one to the max). They generate three defenses: Physical (10 + Strength + Speed), Cognitive (10 + Intellect + Willpower), and Spiritual (10 + Awareness + Presence).</blockquote>
