StepD6
Step D6 a RPG system based on the Earthdawn step-die system.
Rolling dice
As in Earthdawn, dice are open-ended. However, only d6 are used. I would allow only 1 reroll per die, but it's a matter of taste.

Attributes
- Strength
- Dexterity
- Agility
- Constitution
- Intelligence
- Perception
- Willpower
- Charisma
Human range for attributes is 2-9, 5 being average.
Derived attributes
- Wound threshold = Constitution + 3
- Unconsciousness rating = 3 × Wound threshold
- Death rating = 4 × Wound threshold
These formulas are a regularization of figures from Earthdawn statistics table.
Attribute test
To make a pure attribute test, roll the dice corresponding to twice your attribute step.
