Base Characteristics

Every character or creature possesses three Characteristic pools:

Soak – withstand punishment
Dash – perform feats of physical excellence
Focus – channel mind and magic

Characteristics are expendable ressources. Spent characteristic poins are fully replenished whenever the GM calls for a Recovery. This should happen after every major scene.
Some abilities or conditions (as well as crafting) require characters to Drain characteristic points. Drained points do not replenish on a Recovery until a full night's sleep.

Skills

Skill checks use percentile dice. Skill check difficulties are set (Easy 70%, Moderate 50%, Hard 20%, Heroic 0%). A character may spend points from the appropriate characteristic pool to improve their chances of success. For every 5 points spent, improve success chances by 10%. The only exception - improving chances from 90% to 100% costs 15 points.
Specializations reduce improvement costs to 3 and 10 points respectively.

Dash skills:
Acrobatics
Hide
Melee
Ride/Pilot
Shoot
Steal

Focus skills:
Influence
Perceive
Science
Survive
Tend
Tinker

Taking turns

In structured encounters, narrative is broken up into rounds. Each round, every participant may take a turn. To determine the order in which individual turns are taken, each participant rolls a D10. A character may spend up to 10 Dash to add the number of points spent to their roll before the roll is made. The participant who rolled highest acts first, followed by the second-highest result and so on. If two or more participants share the same initiative score, they may choose who acts first, however, player characters act before GM-controlled characters.
On each turn, a character may perform 1 Trivial and 1 Action. Maintaining an effect does not require a Trivial or an Action, however, a character may only maintain up to 3 effects in a single turn.

Trivials:
Move/Disengage (move 1 range bracket, if disengaging from melee, spend 5 Dash or be targeted by a free Melee attack from every opponent in the engagement)
Handle Object (draw/stow items, pull levers, open/close doors etc.)

Basic Actions:
Attack (use appropriate skill+weapon)
Aid (spend 4 points from an appropriate Characteristic pool to improve one ally's chances of success by 10%. If you are aiding a Skill check with a Skill you have a Specialization in, spend only 2 points.)
Dive for Cover (spend 5 Dash to decrease enemies' success chances by 20% when attacking character until cover is destroyed/circumvent. Does not break engagements or line of sight)
Stand Up (standing up from prone, a character may spend 5 Dash to make this Action count as a Trivial)
Trivialise (perform a Trivial instead of an Action)
Cure (cure Bleeding or Poisoned condition or restore Soak via Tend skill)

Damage and Death

Any character whose Soak drops to 0 is Incapacitated (cannot perform Actions or maintain effects, must spend 5 Dash or Focus to perform a Trivial, all attacks targeting them have their difficulties decreased by 1 step) and suffers a Grave Injury. When a character amasses 5 Grave Injuries he/she dies.

Grave Injuries:
01-10: Ugly but Bearable – Bleed and become Dazed for 10 turns. This Grave Injury requires an Easy Tend check instead of a Hard one and may be applied more than once.
11-20: Winded – whenever you take damage, become dazed and slowed for 1 turn (can be triggered once per turn only).
21-30: Flesh Wound – when spending points from a Characteristic pool, spend 20% more.
31-40: Maimed Limb – choose or randomly determine a limb. When spending points from a Characteristic pool to perform Actions of Trivials involving that limb, spend 50% more. Even if a given task does not require spending points, spend 5 points. This Grave Injury may be applied more than once (to different limbs).
41-50: Wracked with Pain – increase all Skill check difficulties by 1 step (unless already Heroic).
51-60: Blow to the Head – Focus pool is halved.
61-70: Ruptured Muscle – Dash pool is halved.
71-80: Internal Bleeding – Soak pool is halved.
81-90: Crippled – character counts as Incapacitated even if their Soak is above 0.
91-100: Worse than it Seems – counts as 2 Grave Injuries (each to be healed separately). No additional effects. This Grave Injury may be applied more than once.

Grave Injuries can be recovered through resting (1 Grave Injury per week of active adventuring or 3 days of bed rest) or via Tend Skill (Difficulty – Hard (except for Ugly but Bearable). Each Grave Injury may be subject to 1 Tend check only).

Conditions

Condition damage is applied at the beginning of the causing character's turn. Multiple instances of the same condition are cumulative and have their own separate durations.

Burning – suffer 5 damage each turn.
Poisoned – suffer 2 damage each turn.
Slowed – Moving, Disengaging and Standing Up cost +5 Dash.
Hidden – cannot be targeted by actions unless spotted via Perceive Skill or special Actions. Attacking while Hidden decreases an attack's difficulty by 2 steps and cancels this condition.
Dazed – check success chance reduced by 10%.
Stunned – cannot take Actions or Trivials, cannot maintain effects.
Blinded – has no line of sight to any creature or object. All checks requiring sight have their difficulty increased by 2 steps. A blinded character may perform attacks against targets it is able to feel or hear (or smell, if they have the Scent Species Trait) with increased difficulty; attacks that hit automatically (even magical attacks) require a Moderate Skill check.
Bleeding – suffer 2 damage or lose 2 Dash each turn.
Restrained – cannot move, disengage or stand up. Restrainment can be broken by spending an amount of Dash (which does not have to happen at once).
Suffocating – suffer 4 damage or suffer 2 damage and lose 2 Dash or Focus each turn.
Invigorated – regain 2 Soak, 2 Dash OR 2 Focus each turn.
Deafened – unable to use Perceive to detect sounds. Checks for social interaction have their difficulties increased by 1 step. Checks made to influence a Deafened target have their difficulty increased by 2 steps.

Character Creation

1. Distribute 90 points freely among all three Characteristic pools. No Characteristic pool may have a value lower than 15.
2. Pick a Species.
3. Pick a Class. Gain its Signature Action.
4. Pick up to two Quirks.
5. Choose two languages.
6. Spend 100 XP on any eligible Class- or non-Class advances.
7. Gain 500 Pelargon Aurum you may spend to buy gear. You may assume your character possesses several items of everyday life or minor knick-knacks like grooming utensils, diaries, pocket lighters or similar objects without having to pay extra Aurum.

Classes

In Skyless:Geondia, a Class can represent a character's job (like Bodyguard or Navigator), their modus operandi in critical situations (like Diplomat or Blademaster) or an well-honed area of expertise (like Pyromancer or Jockey). A Class is by no means a life-time sentence – once a character has achieved perfection in one area, they can move on and broaden their horizon.

Each Class has a Primary, a Secondary and a Tertiary characteristic.

Primary – starts at +10, advance cost 3 XP per point.
Secondary – starts at +5, advance cost 6 XP per point.
Tertiary – starts at +0, advance cost 9 XP per point.

Character Progression

A character must master their current Class before they can pick a new one. Mastering a Class requires purchasing all eligible class Specializations and all three Advanced Actions. XP spent to raise characteristics or purchase non-Class advances do not count toward mastering a Class.
Once a character has mastered a Class, they may opt to choose a new one. When doing so, they keep all abilities gained from previously mastered Classes and gain their new Class's Signature Action. From this moment on, the newly selected Class becomes the character's current Class and determines their current advancement options (characteristic improvement costs, Specializations and Advanced Actions).

Non-Class Advances:
Non-Class Specialization (Cost: 60 XP)
Language (Cost: 30 XP)
