*Members must possess the capacity to recognize pain and avoid critically injuring other Members. Most wrestlers in the club are heroes, and are required to be in peak health and performance when on patrol. Therefore, certain attacks have been prohibited in the interest of reducing risk of injuries that may cause a hero to be unable to perform their heroic duties. It is also vital that wrestlers be able to recognize when to cease or submit during a match.

Even if a member does not take part in the promotion of Kayfabe, it is important they recognize when it may be more dangerous trying to resist a move, than simply letting their opponent complete the move. Selling also refers to making certain moves carry more impact by over-reacting slightly, making the move seem more legitimate. This may be done to prevent Jobbing from taking place, as it maintains the skill balance between wrestlers, despite advantages one or the other may have.''

Matches where there is no contest (where one wrestler is clearly going to win) are called Squash matches.''

==Wrestling Procedures==
An optional system for wrestlers is to employ the following Wrestling Systems. This is a newly developed set of systems for RP wrestling that keeps track of a wrestlers stamina and hit points, and prevents matches from potentially lasting for an infinite amount of time. Considerations still need to be made by both wrestlers in order to ensure the system is applied in a fair and consistent manner, however.
+
* RP Wrestling involves making ''attempts''. If you don't make an ''attempt'' at something, it may be seen as directly influencing the other player's character. This is a valid function in certain situations, but may also be seen as God-Modding. Make sure that the opponent player is accommodating when you perform an action without making an attempt. If one player has made an attempt, and the opponent accepts it as successful, the opponent does not need to respond with an attempt, unless they perform an additional, separate action.
 +
'''Simple Example:'''
 +
**'''Proper Attempt:''' Red attempts to enter a collar-and-elbow lock-up with Blue! If successful, he'd attempt to trip Blue!
 +
**'''Proper Response:''' Blue locks up with Red, but adjusts his stance, and avoids being tripped. Dropping the lockup, Blue tries to grapple Red in a headlock!
 +
**'''Improper Attempt:''' Red locks up and trips Blue!
 +
**'''Improper Response:''' Blue attempts to lock up and not be tripped, and grabs Red in a headlock.
 +
* Knowledge is power! The more you yourself know about wrestling, the more proficient your character will be. Until extensive resources are provided on this page, use resources such as Wikipedia, Google, or even wrestling video games, to inform yourself about the moves and mechanics of wrestling. The more enlightened you are, the more detail you will be able to provide, and the more in-depth the match can become. With a wider array of wrestling knowledge, your response time will be better as well, decreasing the amount of time both you and your opponent have to wait between moves, and allowing for longer, more varied matches.

==Roll System==
 
===Turn System===
 
===Turn System===
Wrestling Matches are essentially ''turn-based'', with each wrestler performing an '''Action''' (attacking), '''Reaction''' (dodging/taking a fall/getting hit) or '''Counter''' (performing a Reaction and an Action in a single turn). The Stat System alters stats after each round (a turn made by both wrestlers), in order to advance the match.
+
Wrestling Matches are essentially ''turn-based'', with each wrestler performing a ''Move''. Moves are either ''Attacking Moves'' (attacking/pinning/applying submission holds), or ''Reaction Moves'' (dodging/taking a fall/getting hit). Generally, once a match has started, a player's turn will consist of both a Reaction and then an Action, as the player is Reacting to the opponent's Action, and then performing an Action of their own (which the opponent will React to, and then perform an Action against, etcetera).
 +
*''Action Moves'' are generally aggressive moves against the opponent, intending to reduce the opponent's ''Endurance Points''.
 +
*''Reaction Moves'' are generally defensive moves, used to ''Evade, Counter, Block, Resist'' or ''Escape'' the opponent's Action Move.
 +
*''Passive Moves'' are a unique move that isn't an Action or Reaction, necessarily. Passive moves include moving to a different location in the ring, climbing a turnbuckle or rope, appealing to the crowd, taunting, or otherwise. Passive Moves count as a turn, however.
  
===Stat System===
+
All players begin with a set number of '''Endurance Points''', determined by the wrestlers preceding the match. The recommended ''Endurance Point'' value for a normal length match is '''10'''. The recommended ''Endurance Point'' value for a short match is '''7'''.
The values below reflect the default values that every wrestler has. Certain '''Traits''' can alter the amount of Points a certain wrestler has, thus giving them a benefit or potentially a weakness.
+
  
:'''Hit Points:''' Each wrestler starts a match with '''10 Hit Points'''. Hit Points are ''lost'' when a wrestler ''takes a hit'' from an ''Attack'', such as a punch, kick, dropkick, or a choke slam, suplex, or takedown. Hit Points ''do not regenerate'' during a match. When ''all Hit Points have been lost'', the wrestler's ''Endurance Points are consumed'' instead.
+
When a wrestler has no more endurance points remaining, they forfeit the match, and the opponent is declared the winner. The losing player may Roleplay their wrestler submitting, or being rendered temporarily unconscious, as the Roleplay dictates.
  
:'''Action Points:''' Each wrestler starts a match with '''3 Action Points'''. One Action Point is ''consumed'' each time a wrestler performs an ''Action'' or a ''Counter''. One Action Point is ''gained'' when a wrestler ''does not perform an Action or Counter'' during their turn (''unless'' the wrestler performed a ''Take Fall'' on their ''previous move''). The wrestler ''cannot possess more more than 3 Action Points''.
+
===Roll System===
 +
Wrestlers can use a roll-based system in order to ensure a non-biased wrestling match. A recommended resource is [https://rolz.org/join Rolz Dice Rooms], a chat room system designed for Roleplaying that features dice rolling mechanics, in which a wrestling roleplay can take place. For the Roll System, the following terms will be used:
 +
*'''Attacker:''' The player performing an attack.
 +
*'''Victim:''' The player being attacked.
  
:'''Endurance Point:''' Each wrestler starts a match with '''10 Endurance Points'''. Endurance Points are ''lost'' when a wrestler is held in a ''Submission Hold'' or ''Pin'' during their turn. Endurance Points ''do not regenerate'' during a match. When ''all Endurance Points have been lost'', a wrestler ''can no longer Escape'', and is ''forced to Submit''.
+
When the ''Attacker'' performs an attack, the '''Victim''' performs a ''Roll'' in order to determine whether the ''Attacker's'' move ''Critically Hits'', ''Succeeds'', ''Fails'', or ''Critically Fails''. Determining pass or fail is done using a Roll min/max of '''1 - 50''', with certain ranges providing certain effects:
 +
*'''1 - 10, Critical Fail:''' The ''Victim'' does ''not pass'' the roll check, and is unable to perform an ''Action Move'' against the ''Attacker''. The '''Attacker''' is ''given a'' '''second turn''' to continue the move, begin a new move, or gain an extra count in a ''Pin''. The '''Victim loses 2 Endurance Points'''.
 +
*'''11 - 24, Fail:''' The ''Victim'' does ''not pass'' the roll check, and '''loses 1 Endurance Point'''. It is then the ''Victim's'' turn.
 +
*'''25 - 39, Success:''' The ''Victim passes'' the roll check, and is able to Evade, Counter, Block, Resist or Escape the ''Attacker''s move. The ''Victim'' does not take any damage, and it becomes the ''Victim's turn''.
 +
*'''40 - 50, Critical Success:''' The ''Victim passes'' the roll check, and is able to Evade, Counter, Block, Resist or Escape the ''Attacker's'' move. The ''Victim'' instantly damages and ''decreases the Attacker's Endurance Points'' by '''1'''. It then becomes the ''Victim's turn''.
  
:'''Take Fall Point:''' Each wrestler is capable of performing a '''Take Fall''' during a ''Reaction'' move. If the wrestler performs a Take Fall, they ''consume an Action Point instead of a Hit Point''. During their ''next move'', the Wrestler ''cannot perform an Action or Counter'', and ''they do not gain an Action Point'' for not doing so. If a wrestler has ''no more Action Points'', a ''Hit Point is lost'' instead.
+
 
 +
'''Struggle:''' If the ''Attacker's move'' was a successful ''Grapple'' or ''Submission'', ''the Victim struggles'' to escape. During a struggle, the '''Attacker''' performs a roll to determine whether the ''Submission remains in-effect'':
 +
*If ''Attacker's'' roll is a ''Critical Fail'', the ''Attacker loses'' '''1 Endurance Point''', the ''Victim'' is ''released'', and it becomes the ''Victim's turn''.
 +
*If ''Attacker's'' roll is a ''Fail'', the ''Victim'' is ''released'', and it becomes the ''Victim's turn''.
 +
*If ''Attacker's'' roll is a ''Success'', the ''Victim looses'' '''1 Endurance Point''', and it becomes the ''Victim's turn'' to attempt another escape.
 +
*If ''Attacker's'' roll is a ''Critical Success'', the ''Victim looses two endurance points'', and it becomes the ''Victim's turn'' to attempt another escape.
 +
 
 +
Using the roll system, the players will ''perform their turn as normal'', though the outcome ''must reflect the results determined by the roll''. If a Victim's defense roll ''fails'', the Victim must '''subtract the determined number of Endurance Points from their current total''', and ''provide a response'' that addresses the ''success of the Attacker's move''. If the Victim's defense roll succeeds, the Victim ''must address how they avoided the Attacker's move'' (generally by Evading, Countering, Blocking, Resisting or Escaping).
 +
 
 +
In a Struggle (''Grappling'' or ''Submission move''), the following order is performed:
 +
:''Step 1'': The Attacker performs a ''Grapple'' or ''Submission'' move that is a ''Success''.
 +
:''Step 2'': The Victim describes taking the hit, and ''begins struggling'' to ''Escape''.
 +
:''Step 3'': The Attacker ''rolls'' to determine whether the ''Grapple'' or ''Submission'' remains in effect.
 +
::'''-''' If ''Attacker's roll'' is a ''Success'', the ''Victim'' describes taking the hit, and ''resumes struggling'' to ''Escape''. The ''Attacker'' rolls to determine if the ''Grapple'' or ''Submission'' continues (''return to Step 1'').
 +
::'''-''' If ''Attacker's roll'' is a ''Fail'', the ''Attacker'' describes the success of the ''Victim's escape'', and it becomes the ''Victim's turn''.
  
 
===Trait System===
 
===Trait System===
Wrestlers can create or select ''one'' '''Trait''' that influences their base Stats. These are used in order to lend some further customization to a wrestler, as well as take into consideration certain innate abilities wrestlers might have based on their size, weight, species, experience, etcetera. Several default traits are provided as both examples of acceptable traits, or as available traits if a wrestler so decides to use one.
+
Wrestlers can select ''one'' '''Trait''' that influences their base Stats. These are used in order to lend some further customization to a wrestler, as well as take into consideration certain innate abilities wrestlers might have based on their size, weight, species, experience, etcetera. It is up to the wrestlers involved, to decide whether ''Traits'' will be permitted in a match, or whether both wrestlers should retain equal stats. Base Traits are listed below:
  
'''Legend:''' An experienced and famous wrestler who draws confidence from, and inspires the crowd with a ''long, exciting performance''. ''+3 Hit Points, +2 Maximum Action Points''.
+
'''By Size (Height):'''
 +
*'''Small:''' ''Available to Wrestlers less than 300 lbs (136 kg).'' Shorter in stature than most offers a higher chance of escaping, or directing an attack with critical success. ''If opponent is not Small:'' '''Instead of''' ''40 - 50 Critical Success'' range, use '''35 - 50 Critical Success''' range, ''however'', you have '''-2''' less ''Maximum Endurance Points''.
  
'''Overpowering:''' A large and powerful wrestler: if their opponent has ''no Action Points'', a ''Submission Move'' or ''Pin'' may be ''applied instantly''.
+
*'''Average:''' Average height offers no real loss of mobility, or overwhelming strength.
  
'''Dominating:''' Powerful and potentially sadistic, this wrestler ''gains one Action Point'' whenever they ''put their opponent in a Submission Hold''.
+
*'''Large:''' ''Available to Wrestlers more than 600 lbs (272 kg).'' A greater size gives greater advantage in grappling. '''Instead of'''  ''25 - 39 Success'' range, use '''20 - 39 Success''' range.
  
'''Unrelenting:''' Whether through force of will or physical conditioning, this wrestler has ''greater endurance'' than most. ''+3 Endurance Points'', ''+2 Maximum Action Points''.
+
*'''Giant:''' ''Available to Wrestlers more than 800 lbs (362 kg).'' Huge and potentially unwieldy gives a profound advantage in grappling smaller opponents. ''If opponent is not Giant:'' '''Instead of''' ''25 - 39 Success'' range, use '''20 - 35 Success''' range.
  
'''Determined:''' Exceptional will power lets this wrestler ''resist efforts'' at getting them to ''submit''. ''+5 Endurance Points''.
+
'''By Ability:'''
 +
*'''Super Agility:''' Being quicker than most offers a higher chance of Critical Success against slower opponents. ''If opponent is not Super Agile:'' '''Instead of''' ''40 - 50 Critical Success'' range, use '''35 - 50'''.
  
===Roll System===
+
*'''Super Endurance:''' To be tougher means to last longer than your opponent. '''+5 Endurance Points''' to ''Maximum Endurance Points''. '''Instead''' of ''40 - 50 Critical Success'' range, use '''43 - 50 Critical Success''' range, and ''gain'' '''+1 Endurance''' point on a ''Critical Success''.
If desired, wrestlers can use a coin-toss or roll-based system in order to ensure a non-biased wrestling match. A recommended resource is the random number generator found at [http://www.random.org/ random.org]. A recommended method for determining pass or fail is using a min/max of 1 - 100, and counting any number '''1 - 49 as Fail''', and any number '''50 - 100 as Pass'''.
+
 
 +
*'''Super Strength:''' Through superior physical strength, dominating opponents is effortless.  '''+3 Endurance Points''' to ''Maximum Endurance Points''. ''If opponent is not Super Strong: ''When the opponent'' '''Fails''', they lose '''2 Endurance''' points instead of ''1''. ''If the opponent'' '''Critically Fails''', they lose '''3 Endurance''' points instead of ''2''.
 +
 
 +
*'''Martial Training:''' Seeking balance of mind and body grants normal stats, but a powerful ability: You are given '''3 Martial Counters''' to ''instantly reverse an opponent's attack'' against you. A ''Martial Counter'' is a unique move, ''performed when rolling for defense against an Attacker's move''. A ''Martial Counter'' is treated as a '''Critical Success''' against the opponent, ''instantly decreasing the opponent's Endurance Points'' by '''1'''. A ''Martial Counter may be used in conjunction'' with another move, in the ''same turn''.
 +
 
 +
'''By Personality:'''
 +
*'''Determined:''' A tough mind lends to a tough body. Willpower alone provides '''+5 Maximum Endurance Points'''.
 +
 
 +
*'''Dominating:''' When the opponent is in your hands, they become nearly powerless to escape. When performing a Struggle roll that determines whether a ''Submission'' or ''Grapple remains in effect'', '''Instead of''' ''25 - 39 Success'' range, use '''20 - 35''' range (''does not apply to Pins'').
 +
 
 +
*'''Jobber:''' Feeling it's your role to place the other wrestler in a positive light makes the opening of a match a challenge. ''-4 Endurance Points'' to ''Maximum Endurance Points'', but gain '''+1 Endurance''' point on a ''Critical Success''.
 +
 
 +
*'''Face (Hero):''' You are the good guy of the match! '''+3 Endurance Points''' to ''Maximum Endurance Points'', '''Instead of''' ''1 - 10 Critical Fail'' range, use '''1 - 7 Critical Fail''' range, and '''Instead of''' ''40 - 50 Critical Success'' range, use '''36 - 50 Critical Success''' range.
 +
 
 +
*'''Heel (Villain):''' You are the bad guy of the match, capable of slipping in low blows. '''+5 Endurance Points''' to ''Maximum Endurance Points'', '''Instead of''' ''1 - 10 Fail'' range, use '''1 - 7 Critical Fail''' range, and '''Instead of''' ''25 - 39 Success'' range, use '''28 - 35 Success''' range.
 +
 
 +
*'''Legend:''' Whether by Fame or Infamy, you are a well-recognized champion in the eyes of others. '''+7 Endurance Points''' to ''Maximum Endurance Points'', '''Instead of''' ''25 - 39 Success'' range, use '''22 - 37'''. You will '''never Critically Fail''' (''Critical Fail rolls become a Fail roll'').

Wrestling Club
Millennium City Wrestling Logo.png
Leader(s): "Bronx"
Base of Operations: Millennium City
Concept: Local Events, Training, Meetings and Socialization for Wrestlers and Bodybuilders
Founded: 06.01.2014
Members: 15+

Public Information

The Wrestling Club was founded by registered Millennium City hero Bronx in an attempt to interact with other heroes interested in the sport. Initial advertising originally began through word-of-mouth, but there are now posters and pamphlets to be found in most Gyms across the city. These pamphlets contain information for getting in touch with Bronx, who will then provide details on when and where meetings will occur. The group currently has an active roster of several members, most of whom have their own particular reason for joining the club. It is important to note this is a recreational club, not a Super Group. There is no "joining" procedure, aside from regularly participating in group events.

Structure

The Wrestling Club most regularly meets at Bronx's flat, located on the western side of the Downtown district in Millennium City. A wrestling ring has been installed in Bronx's home gym, that allows for event matches and training in a private, friendly environment. Though Bronx is the designated leader of the group, and the one who regularly hosts meetings, the club is structured to allow open socialization. Wrestlers seeking competition, training partners, or friends with similar interests to hang out with, may all use the Wrestling Club as a resource for finding such persons. Though Event and Hosted matches have specific rules that must be followed, private matches between consenting wrestlers may employ whatever rules they desire.

Wrestler Weight Classes

  • Cruiserweight
Below 400 lbs (<181 kg)
  • Heavyweight
400 - 800 lbs (182 - 362 kg)
  • Super Heavyweight
Above 800 lbs (363> kg)

Rules

These rules apply only to officially hosted meetings, training sessions, matches and events. Rules in regards to private matches are at the discretion of the wrestlers participating.

  • Win by Pinfall or Submission
3 Count Rule, Rope-Breaks in effect.
  • Limit Attacks and Striking to Torso Only
To prevent excessive injury. No closed fists. Open palm strikes and chops only.
  • No Blood
To prevent excessive injury and maintain sanitary wrestling environment.
  • Dirty Fighting Moves are Permitted (Limited)
Claw holds, Scratches and Bites are permitted, so long as they don't draw blood. No Groin Attacks.
  • No Sexual Conduct
The Wrestling Club is open to members of any sexual preference. In order to maintain club neutrality and prohibit unwelcome behavior, no member should engage in sexual conduct whether by action or inference with other members.

Member Requirements

The requirements for joining are as follows:

  • Members must have an interest in any form of Wrestling. This includes, but is not limited to, Freestyle, Amateur, American Professional, Lucha Libre and/or Sambo.
  • Members must possess the physical capacity for Wrestling. All current Members are near peak-physical condition, and thus maintain competitive fairness when wrestling with other members. Weight Classes are based on meta-physical strength as well as weight, thus excluding anyone who is not physically capable of competing with at least a non-meta wrestler.
  • Members must possess the capacity to recognize pain and avoid critically injuring other Members. Most wrestlers in the club are heroes, and are required to be in peak health and performance when on patrol. Therefore, certain attacks have been prohibited in the interest of reducing risk of injuries that may cause a hero to be unable to perform their heroic duties. It is also vital that wrestlers be able to recognize when to cease or submit during a match, so as not to seriously harm themselves or others.

Official Match Types

The wrestling ring installed in Bronx's home gym.
  • One Versus One
The most common match type, where two wrestlers compete against one another.
  • One Versus Two (Handicap)
One wrestler (either exceptionally skilled, or in a higher weight class) competes against Two wrestlers (either less skilled or in a lower weight class)
  • Two Versus Two (Tornado)
Two wrestlers face off against Two wrestlers, with all four wrestlers present in the ring, competing.
  • Two Versus Two (Tag)
Two wrestlers face off against Two wrestlers, with only Two wrestlers in the ring at a time. Wrestlers must tag their ally in by physical contact.

Match Conditions

  • Kayfabe
Wrestling is both competition and entertainment; Kayfabe is the introduction of additional entertainment value by creating stories surrounding the wrestling events, as well as introducing a developing character aspect, separate from the actual character themselves ("alter-ego", "in-ring mentality"). In order to accommodate wrestlers whose lives revolve around wrestling, in-ring Kayfabe is permitted and encouraged, but not a necessity.
  • Selling
In order to avoid injury, a wrestler may need to take a fall. This involves letting the opponent perform a successful wrestling move. Instead of resisting, the seller will purposefully position themselves to land as painlessly as possible. This has the benefit of extending a match, providing entertainment, and raising the moral of both wrestlers due to synergy in performing a move. Even if a member does not take part in the promotion of Kayfabe, it is important they recognize when it may be more dangerous trying to resist a move, than simply letting their opponent complete the move. Selling also refers to making certain moves carry more impact by over-reacting slightly, making the move seem more legitimate. This may be done to prevent Jobbing from taking place, as it maintains the skill balance between wrestlers, despite advantages one or the other may have.
  • Jobbing
Somewhat related to Kayfabe, Jobbing is where one wrestler has a clear and distinct advantage over the other, who is usually less experienced or of a much lower Weight Class. Though matches are generally arranged to be as fair as possible for both wrestlers, there may be matches arranged like this in order to ensure variety in the matches presented. Matches where there is no contest (where one wrestler is clearly going to win) are called Squash matches. A Jobber is likely to spend the majority of the match in a losing position, but may or may not make a comeback toward the end.
  • Training
Often taking place during regular meetings, training matches won't have their outcomes tracked. Regular matches can be converted to training matches if both wrestlers agree to the terms, thus preventing either of them from tracking a win or loss in their overall performance.

Wrestling Procedures

  • RP Wrestling involves making attempts. If you don't make an attempt at something, it may be seen as directly influencing the other player's character. This is a valid function in certain situations, but may also be seen as God-Modding. Make sure that the opponent player is accommodating when you perform an action without making an attempt. If one player has made an attempt, and the opponent accepts it as successful, the opponent does not need to respond with an attempt, unless they perform an additional, separate action.

Simple Example:

    • Proper Attempt: Red attempts to enter a collar-and-elbow lock-up with Blue! If successful, he'd attempt to trip Blue!
    • Proper Response: Blue locks up with Red, but adjusts his stance, and avoids being tripped. Dropping the lockup, Blue tries to grapple Red in a headlock!
    • Improper Attempt: Red locks up and trips Blue!
    • Improper Response: Blue attempts to lock up and not be tripped, and grabs Red in a headlock.
  • Knowledge is power! The more you yourself know about wrestling, the more proficient your character will be. Until extensive resources are provided on this page, use resources such as Wikipedia, Google, or even wrestling video games, to inform yourself about the moves and mechanics of wrestling. The more enlightened you are, the more detail you will be able to provide, and the more in-depth the match can become. With a wider array of wrestling knowledge, your response time will be better as well, decreasing the amount of time both you and your opponent have to wait between moves, and allowing for longer, more varied matches.

Basic Stances, Grapples and Lock-Ups:

Roll System

Turn System

Wrestling Matches are essentially turn-based, with each wrestler performing a Move. Moves are either Attacking Moves (attacking/pinning/applying submission holds), or Reaction Moves (dodging/taking a fall/getting hit). Generally, once a match has started, a player's turn will consist of both a Reaction and then an Action, as the player is Reacting to the opponent's Action, and then performing an Action of their own (which the opponent will React to, and then perform an Action against, etcetera).

  • Action Moves are generally aggressive moves against the opponent, intending to reduce the opponent's Endurance Points.
  • Reaction Moves are generally defensive moves, used to Evade, Counter, Block, Resist or Escape the opponent's Action Move.
  • Passive Moves are a unique move that isn't an Action or Reaction, necessarily. Passive moves include moving to a different location in the ring, climbing a turnbuckle or rope, appealing to the crowd, taunting, or otherwise. Passive Moves count as a turn, however.

All players begin with a set number of Endurance Points, determined by the wrestlers preceding the match. The recommended Endurance Point value for a normal length match is 10. The recommended Endurance Point value for a short match is 7.

When a wrestler has no more endurance points remaining, they forfeit the match, and the opponent is declared the winner. The losing player may Roleplay their wrestler submitting, or being rendered temporarily unconscious, as the Roleplay dictates.

Roll System

Wrestlers can use a roll-based system in order to ensure a non-biased wrestling match. A recommended resource is Rolz Dice Rooms, a chat room system designed for Roleplaying that features dice rolling mechanics, in which a wrestling roleplay can take place. For the Roll System, the following terms will be used:

  • Attacker: The player performing an attack.
  • Victim: The player being attacked.

When the Attacker performs an attack, the Victim performs a Roll in order to determine whether the Attacker's move Critically Hits, Succeeds, Fails, or Critically Fails. Determining pass or fail is done using a Roll min/max of 1 - 50, with certain ranges providing certain effects:

  • 1 - 10, Critical Fail: The Victim does not pass the roll check, and is unable to perform an Action Move against the Attacker. The Attacker is given a second turn to continue the move, begin a new move, or gain an extra count in a Pin. The Victim loses 2 Endurance Points.
  • 11 - 24, Fail: The Victim does not pass the roll check, and loses 1 Endurance Point. It is then the Victim's turn.
  • 25 - 39, Success: The Victim passes the roll check, and is able to Evade, Counter, Block, Resist or Escape the Attackers move. The Victim does not take any damage, and it becomes the Victim's turn.
  • 40 - 50, Critical Success: The Victim passes the roll check, and is able to Evade, Counter, Block, Resist or Escape the Attacker's move. The Victim instantly damages and decreases the Attacker's Endurance Points by 1. It then becomes the Victim's turn.


Struggle: If the Attacker's move was a successful Grapple or Submission, the Victim struggles to escape. During a struggle, the Attacker performs a roll to determine whether the Submission remains in-effect:

  • If Attacker's roll is a Critical Fail, the Attacker loses 1 Endurance Point, the Victim is released, and it becomes the Victim's turn.
  • If Attacker's roll is a Fail, the Victim is released, and it becomes the Victim's turn.
  • If Attacker's roll is a Success, the Victim looses 1 Endurance Point, and it becomes the Victim's turn to attempt another escape.
  • If Attacker's roll is a Critical Success, the Victim looses two endurance points, and it becomes the Victim's turn to attempt another escape.

Using the roll system, the players will perform their turn as normal, though the outcome must reflect the results determined by the roll. If a Victim's defense roll fails, the Victim must subtract the determined number of Endurance Points from their current total, and provide a response that addresses the success of the Attacker's move. If the Victim's defense roll succeeds, the Victim must address how they avoided the Attacker's move (generally by Evading, Countering, Blocking, Resisting or Escaping).

In a Struggle (Grappling or Submission move), the following order is performed:

Step 1: The Attacker performs a Grapple or Submission move that is a Success.
Step 2: The Victim describes taking the hit, and begins struggling to Escape.
Step 3: The Attacker rolls to determine whether the Grapple or Submission remains in effect.
- If Attacker's roll is a Success, the Victim describes taking the hit, and resumes struggling to Escape. The Attacker rolls to determine if the Grapple or Submission continues (return to Step 1).
- If Attacker's roll is a Fail, the Attacker describes the success of the Victim's escape, and it becomes the Victim's turn.

Trait System

Wrestlers can select one Trait that influences their base Stats. These are used in order to lend some further customization to a wrestler, as well as take into consideration certain innate abilities wrestlers might have based on their size, weight, species, experience, etcetera. It is up to the wrestlers involved, to decide whether Traits will be permitted in a match, or whether both wrestlers should retain equal stats. Base Traits are listed below:

By Size (Height):

  • Small: Available to Wrestlers less than 300 lbs (136 kg). Shorter in stature than most offers a higher chance of escaping, or directing an attack with critical success. If opponent is not Small: Instead of 40 - 50 Critical Success range, use 35 - 50 Critical Success range, however, you have -2 less Maximum Endurance Points.
  • Average: Average height offers no real loss of mobility, or overwhelming strength.
  • Large: Available to Wrestlers more than 600 lbs (272 kg). A greater size gives greater advantage in grappling. Instead of 25 - 39 Success range, use 20 - 39 Success range.
  • Giant: Available to Wrestlers more than 800 lbs (362 kg). Huge and potentially unwieldy gives a profound advantage in grappling smaller opponents. If opponent is not Giant: Instead of 25 - 39 Success range, use 20 - 35 Success range.

By Ability:

  • Super Agility: Being quicker than most offers a higher chance of Critical Success against slower opponents. If opponent is not Super Agile: Instead of 40 - 50 Critical Success range, use 35 - 50.
  • Super Endurance: To be tougher means to last longer than your opponent. +5 Endurance Points to Maximum Endurance Points. Instead of 40 - 50 Critical Success range, use 43 - 50 Critical Success range, and gain +1 Endurance point on a Critical Success.
  • Super Strength: Through superior physical strength, dominating opponents is effortless. +3 Endurance Points to Maximum Endurance Points. If opponent is not Super Strong: When the opponent Fails, they lose 2 Endurance points instead of 1. If the opponent Critically Fails, they lose 3 Endurance points instead of 2.
  • Martial Training: Seeking balance of mind and body grants normal stats, but a powerful ability: You are given 3 Martial Counters to instantly reverse an opponent's attack against you. A Martial Counter is a unique move, performed when rolling for defense against an Attacker's move. A Martial Counter is treated as a Critical Success against the opponent, instantly decreasing the opponent's Endurance Points by 1. A Martial Counter may be used in conjunction with another move, in the same turn.

By Personality:

  • Determined: A tough mind lends to a tough body. Willpower alone provides +5 Maximum Endurance Points.
  • Dominating: When the opponent is in your hands, they become nearly powerless to escape. When performing a Struggle roll that determines whether a Submission or Grapple remains in effect, Instead of 25 - 39 Success range, use 20 - 35 range (does not apply to Pins).
  • Jobber: Feeling it's your role to place the other wrestler in a positive light makes the opening of a match a challenge. -4 Endurance Points to Maximum Endurance Points, but gain +1 Endurance point on a Critical Success.
  • Face (Hero): You are the good guy of the match! +3 Endurance Points to Maximum Endurance Points, Instead of 1 - 10 Critical Fail range, use 1 - 7 Critical Fail range, and Instead of 40 - 50 Critical Success range, use 36 - 50 Critical Success range.
  • Heel (Villain): You are the bad guy of the match, capable of slipping in low blows. +5 Endurance Points to Maximum Endurance Points, Instead of 1 - 10 Fail range, use 1 - 7 Critical Fail range, and Instead of 25 - 39 Success range, use 28 - 35 Success range.
  • Legend: Whether by Fame or Infamy, you are a well-recognized champion in the eyes of others. +7 Endurance Points to Maximum Endurance Points, Instead of 25 - 39 Success range, use 22 - 37. You will never Critically Fail (Critical Fail rolls become a Fail roll).
