Zelda Universe RPG

Any ability or attack that “hits all enemies” or “hits everyone else” or “hits everyone” only applies to the battle you’re currently in. In-battle, this has no effect.

However, if you’re outside of a battle (say, on a precipice, looking down at a mob of 50 enemies), launching an attack that hits an indeterminate amount of enemies will hit “a reasonable amount of enemies”. In most cases, assume this caps out around 5. If you can set up a genuine trap like dropping a boulder on everyone on a ladder, you can hit more, but otherwise, firing blindly into the crowd will not hit them all. In fact, expect most enemy groups to have defenses against this.

As DM, I give a fair amount of leeway for the players. One of these includes that if a player states a wrong action, says the wrong target, or types something wrong, they’re able to take this back.

Just note that from here on out, as an act of fairness, the DM should also get this leeway, especially when controlling god knows how many frigin’ enemies are coming up.

There’s going to be a lot of enemies in Invasion. There’s also going to be some degree of allies at just about any given time. These allies won’t have full profiles, and the reason being - I’m not handling full combat for allies vs. enemies. There’ll simply be too much going on, and attempting that will take forever.

Instead, allies will have “short profiles”, where it’ll nutshell their specialties and weaknesses. If you don’t tell them to do anything, they’ll prioritize their own survival. However, you as the “prime adventurers” (and probably the strongest folks in the land asides from the remaining big bosses) can act as leaders and command them to do your bidding… provided they trust you.

How this works is if an ally fights an enemy (or any conflict not involving a player), I’m going to do an extremely simple dice roll of either $1d2 or $1d3.

• If the match is a 50/50, it’s a $1d2.
  • Heads = Success
    
  • Tails = Fail
    
• If one side should have the advantage, roll a $1d3.
  • The favored side succeeds on an odd number (1 or 3)
    
  • The disadvantaged side succeeds on an even number (2)
    

The resulting success/failure depends on what you asked the ally to do. Something like telling them to blind the enemies may only have a drawback like (for example) “Mido blinded himself in confusion”. However, asking something as harsh as “kill the enemy” will have an equally as disastrous consequence. Weaken your foes before you ask such high tasks for your allies.

• No, you can’t just have an ally one-shot kill a boss or big enemy. A degree of reason will be enforced with your requests.
  

One more thing: These cannot be rerolled. Once they’re rolled, they’re stuck. Choose your options carefully. Hyrule’s lives are in your hands… and Navi’s wicked hands.

I’ve been rather lax on this, and sometimes, this has barreled out of control, where someone will set up upwards of three effects on themselves before a battle officially starts. For the remainder of the game, we’re capping this at one effect, and no stacks.

And just like before, at the end of a battle, all effects you gained before or during the battle will wear off.

On the flipside of stacking effects, provided absolutely nothing is going on, you can now charge something before a battle. They also now carry over from one battle into another, so if you fully charged something at the end of one battle, no worries, you can bring it into the next battle!

Note, any move that gets particularly stronger the longer you charge it must still be charged in-battle. I’m looking at you, Corsava.

All existing charge rules still apply, like only being able to charge up one move at a time, charging another move will overwrite the existing charge, etc.

The above rules also apply to enemies and bosses. Beware.
