[QUOTE="Madeiner, post: 5860838, member: 61624"] Hi there. I am organizing a survival-based zombie game and i would like to implement weapon durability rules. The system i am using (AFMBE) uses d10 mechanic to reach a target number (like d&d). I thought of something along this line: - each weapon has a max durability value, and a "repair capacity" value. - a new gun may have for example 5 durability, and 50 "repair capacity" - each time you roll a natural one, you lose one durability. When you durability reaches 0, the weapon breaks/cannot be used/jams - you can repair/mantain the weapon using time & tools. Each time you "restore" one durability point, you lose one "repair capacity" point. - once you have 0 repair points left, you cannot repair your weapon anymore, as it is in a too bad condition to attempt repair What do you think of this system? Are there any other systems for weapon durability that i could adopt? Also, what are some values i could use for different weapons? I would like something semirealistic, but also i want weapon to be repaired often enough to matter. For a gun, i was thinking probably 10 durability, and infinite repair capacity. You need to "service" the gun after about 100 shots (10% each shot to lose 1 durability), but there is not practical limit to the amounts of time you can do that (at least in gametime; we are not spanning decades here) For a modern-day katana, mass produced, i was thinking something along 7 durability, and about 15 repair capacity. You can repair your katana, but it will come a point where it simply breaks and there's nothing you can do, short of building a new one.
