Dice Battle abilities

Inspired by Dice Throne, changing it to a dice resource management game.

Dice rules;

you have total number of dice to roll being 14

ATK dice for dealing dmg

DEF dice for sacking to defend

Ability dice to be used for abilities 

Energy dice to be used for energy gain

Dice abilities / classes to use

Unless shown on the stat cards, all classes start with 40 HP

You start with 5 cards in hand, you may discard a card to gain an energy, each class has a D6 for an energy dice, roll higher than the current energy to gain 1 additional energy, if not then you're SOL.

All classes have a max amount of energy gained by discard to them, on average it's a max of 2 not counting overload energy.

Once decked out you shuffle your deck and draw a card

If an attack dice are overwhelmed by defense dice that's known as a parry, that knocks the opponent off balance for -1 DEF dice modifier for each die that rolled higher than an opponents dice.

It's die versus die and a total system, meaning having a certain die block another, however the total dice still matter.

If the difference for the number for the dice is by 5 by naturally rolls then it's called a mini crit, if all dice are higher than an opponents dice by 5 then that's a true crit, for each mini crit double that die's damage.

You have 8 roll ability cards you can mix and match for the classes to use.

Berserker

Turn on ability;

Berserker rage, roll an additional D6 for DMG, -1 DEF dice. (cannot turn off until next turn)

Roll abilities;

Berserk Heal - Roll 1, 1, 2,  any for the rest

Dice trigger; for each 1 rolled gain +2 HP back, for each 2 rolled gain 1 HP back

Berserk Strike - Roll 3,5,3, any

For each successful dice that rolled a 3 or a 5 you add a +1 dmg modifier to 1 die, you may remove 3 successful dice rolls from this roll ability to get an additional +1 free atk die.

Psychological manipulation #2 Big numbers

 This is a fine balancing act for players but the goal of the matter is to keep going for the big numbers and keep the big numbers with them getting bigger, and bigger then you get the picture. With this not only having one set of numbers get bigger but having the other numbers get bigger as well. You need some form of system to keep the players wanting the numbers to get bigger. For idle clicker games you use the reset system to get the player coming back; with the MMORPG system you scale down those numbers in updates so you can keep numbers getting bigger or use the shared power system for the players to use. Personally I like using an XP reset system; once the XP hits max for the level, the XP subtracts from the XP cost bringing it down to 0 and as thus allowing that big number of XP to still feel big. Then you might be asking about the player leveling up which there is always the COD reset level system where once the level hits a big enough number you have it where the progress...

Power Creep

 Power creep can be both a good and a bad thing. With power creep you have it where players are being fed more powerful items or cards where they ditch old equipment for the new toys and make it so players will actually use it. On that same note you're trading the learning the items/ understanding how to make oneself more powerful through strats by relying on your given powerful new toys and making players throw them away again once more toys do show up. It's a useful investment strat for card games but does get boring for games where the only thing you have to look forward to is bigger more powerful numbers instead of different strats/ tactics you've never seen or used before with the bigger numbers feeling meaningless. Person experience; with Yu-Gi-Oh playing the rogue format was more fun even if I lost because I wasn't losing to the FTK format and actually scaled down in power with having fun seeing different strats/ tactics, that the limitations that were self impos...

Deck Size matters

 Small decks These kind of games make it where the game is being given a more consistent/ predictable strategy. The outcome being much more predictable but having it where players are dealing with mill and burn strats far too often making them busted. Large decks These kind of games make mill/ burn strats basically useless but have less reliance on consistent drawing what you want; however in a game where search abilities exist with the more search power the more options that open up and remove the down side of having a larger deck becomes.
