=='''OVERVIEW: SYSTEM'''==
 
*''B-Grade is driven by the One Roll Engine, though i have made a number of major changes to this system.''
 
*''Many of the rules are derived from the latest version of ORE (Reign), so i suggest getting this book if you plan to run B-Grade.''
 
*''Some fundamental changes include:''
 
#''PC characters mainly play monsters (golems, frankensteins, leprechauns, pookas, vampires, wolfmen, aliens, cat people etc) by choosing a monster template.
 
#''Master dice are now called '''Hammer-time''' (HtD) dice. HT dice are much more rare now and are usually offset by penalties in other areas.
 
#''Skills have been dramatically reduced in number.''
 
#''Spells/Rituals/Miracles work differently''
