PART 1 | PHANTOM BLOOD

Character Creation

This is the beginning and first step to creating a character with this system

Starting Stats

Starting stats are determined in a couple of ways. The first option you have is to choose the stat array of: 16, 16, 12, 12, 10, and 8. The second option is to have 12 in every stat. And if you want, you can even roll 4d6(reroll 1s).

Backgrounds

Every character has a background. Each character must choose one background that defines their proficiencies and experiences, whether they are young adventurers or hardened vets.

Crusader

You are a man(or woman) on a mission. Traveling far distances to complete your mission with nothing that can break your will.

Skills: Athletics, Acrobatics

Fate-driven warrior: +10 to movement speed(all types)

Duel Master

Your skills as a duelist are unmatched by even Kaiba himself. You have mastered the art of your card game(Whatever that may be) and have earned your title.

Skills: Performance, one gaming set

King of cards: you can use cards as a ranged improvised weapon that deals a d6+dex mod slashing damage.

Former Cop

You know your way around the law because you used to serve it. whether you’re retired or disgraced; you have gained experience from your service as an officer(or detective).

Skills: Insight, Persuasion

experienced with law: when rolling wisdom or intelligence in the context of crime you roll at advantage.

Former Villain

Your past actions can be seen as deplorable, monstrous even, but that’s no longer true. Now you work to redeem yourself and repair what might be unfixable.

Skills: Insight, Perception

Damned soul: you roll with advantage against intimidation and being frightened.

Gangster

You are part of a crime family(Minor or Major: up to you) that acts as a twisted version of the law in the criminal underworld. Maybe you are directly related through mafia blood, or you’ve been brought into the Yakuza by an old friend, either way, you have a tight binding with your specified group.

Skills: Intimidation, Persuasion

Just a GoodFella: When persuading or intimidating someone with great knowledge of your background you roll with advantage.

Horseback Rider

Whether you ride with ghost riders in the sky or in the flight of the Valkyries, you know your way around horses. This allows you to travel with ease across the continent of the US of A while searching for Jesus’ left eye. Specific? Yes? Useful? Maybe? Straight? N O.

Skills: Animal Handling, Performance

Man on the Move: You always know which way is north and roll with advantage for finding animals in the wild.

JOJO

As a JoJo you come from THE legendary bloodline of adventurers and that means that you could be anyone. Most importantly though, is the fact that with trustworthy allies you can do great things.

Skills: Any two

The Holy Bloodline: Once per day, you can choose to give yourself or an ally advantage on any one roll.

Prisoner

Maybe you’re a monster, maybe you’ve been framed, either way, you are a prisoner. Locked behind bars stuck in a depressing world that is now your only world. (you can be a prisoner background without being in prison)

Skills: Athletics, Survival

The Usual Suspects: while you have disadvantage on charisma skill checks against cops you know your way around the underworld meaning that if you spend 2 days in an area you can gain connections to the local criminals (counts as friendly) for assistance.

Royal/Official

You’re the type of person that would possibly benefit from a royal or political leader dying. Maybe deep in your heart is a good person but it’s not present enough to affect your career.

Skills: Performance, Deception

Political Mastermind: You have the innate ability to bullshit information. When making up stories or covering your ass with any skill it’s at advantage

PART 1 | PHANTOM BLOOD

Soilder/Medic/Commander

You ain’t no fortunate son(excuse the lazy joke). This means that you have a little experience with the ways of war. Your specific skills will depend on your job.

Skills: 2 from Athletics, Survival, Medicine, History/, Insight, Persuasion

For His neutral special: You have proficiency in one firearm

Street Fighter

You live by the saying “fuck around and find out” as you are well versed in the ways of back ally brawls. The ring and the octagon have too many rules for your liking. You prefer something a bit more “realistic” when it comes to your rules of man v man. That includes how you finish it.

Skills: Acrobatics, Intimidation

Cheap Shot: you can use your bonus(twice per day) to attempt a dirty trick to get a one-up on your opponent. This can be a nutshot, pocket sand, or fake out. Roll deception against their perception and if you succeed your next attack has advantage.

Student

You’re simply not as knowledgeable as the other backgrounds would entail. You’re learning and that could be any field you want it to be in. One day you might even surpass the ones teaching you.

Skills: None

quick-witted: at the start of every session you choose one skill to be proficient in and another to be half proficient in.

Undead

A walking corpse is the only way to describe what you are, or more accurately what you’ve become. Now your only guiding force is fate’s hand to lead you to your final resting place.

Skills: History, Insight

No rest for the wicked: whenever you are on two failed death saves your next one is at advantage(once per day)

Vampire Hunter

Vampire Hunters like you are well known for their skills in taking down threats to humanity. This fact means that you ironically know more about the things you are killing than the things you are protecting.

Skills: Religion, Survival

Light in the dark: over a long rest you can bless one weapon with an extra d6 radiant damage against undead.

Zeppeli

Zeppelis is known for 3 things: their experience in crime, their strong bloodline, and dying. That’s really all you need to know.

Skills: History, Insight

The Orginal JoBro: While you roll at disadvantage on your first death save you make up for that by always rolling with advantage on team attacks with JoJo’s.

Legendary Backgrounds

These are the backgrounds that cost points due to some extra abilities. Think hard before picking these.

German Science/Cybrorg

There ain’t no science like Nazi science. you are at the peak of tech at the time giving you some neat benefits.

Cost: 4 points

Skills: Tech(Arcana) and 1 other skill

More Machine than man: You are infused and are proficient with one weapon of your choice. You can scan the area and gain advantage on perception. You are now a walking magnet and are vulnerable to lightning damage.

Overdrive: Twice per day you can auto succeed an attack or skill check(both charges can be spent at once to auto succeed an ora rush). Ora rushes for you cost half.

Cost: 6

Skills: 1 int skill and 1 cha skill

Abandoned Humanity: You can shoot laser beams for 6 stamina that do 4d3+dex mod. use stamina to regen health with a 1:2 ratio(max 12 hp per fight). You also can add ice to normal and stand attacks for 4 stamina giving it a +3 to damage. Sun=Death

Characterization

Characterizations are used as not only a guideline for what character archetype you are going for but also as benefits to play into that same archetype.

Comedian

Bonus: +2 Cha.

Reformed Villain

Bonus?: -2 Cha

Brutal soul: +2 Character Creation Points. You cannot be snuck up on…E V E R.

Rival

The Sasuke to your Naruto, the Vegeta to your Goku, or even the Chucky Cheese to your Ricky Rat. Every Hero has the possibility of getting itself a rival and sometimes that rival just might be an ally.

Stand Stat increases

Starting at 5 level, as you battle the power of your stand grows slightly and so its limits can be broken. You can choose to increase Destructive Power, Speed, Range, Durability, or Precision by 1 Rank.

Hamon

At 1st level, you learn a form of breathing that maximizes the oxygenation and flow of blood. You have a number of Hamon points equal to the amount listed in the Hamon column of the Hamon Warrior table. All Hamon points are regained at the end of a long rest. You may spend an action to focus your breathing, regaining 1 Hamon point. You must be able to breathe to do so. If your type is Undead, you take a radiant damage equal to twice as many Hamon points as you have at the beginning of each of your turns. You also know a number of Techniques, all found at the end of this class, as listed in the Techniques column. You may change one Technique you know at the end of a long rest.

Your maximum age is doubled, you cannot become exhausted from using a dash or from environmental hazards, and you can dash or disengage as a bonus action

Radiant Combatant

At 9th level, harnessing Hamon is as simple as breathing. Using techniques counts as an attack for the sake of Exchange Blows and any other similar features you may have, such as Flurry of Blows or Extra Attack.

Perfect Master

At 10th level, your Hamon can not be stopped. You are immune to being blinded, stunned, or poisoned. You no longer take extra damage from critical hits and hostile creatures cannot gain advantage on you if you are restrained. When you use your action to regain Hamon points, you instead regain 1d4 points.

PART 3 | STARDUST CRUSADERS

Stand Creation

At this point, you start working on what you want your stand to be and so this chapter is solely dedicated to stand creation.

Starting points

Stand points are what you use to not only upgrade stat ranks but also to pay for your stands ability. The way that you determine the amount is by how you get your stand or at the dm’s discretion.

Disc User

Disc users gained their stands from Pucci’s magical Florida man bag. While he tries to match Stands with the users’ personalities, it’s not 100% and it results in a weakened stand.

Stand points: 16

Weak User

While normally, natural-born stand users are considered stronger than most, there exist some users who can’t handle their stand’s power. Weak stand users simply don’t have the strength to tap into their power.

Stand points: 20

Arrow User

The stand arrow has the power to unlock ones innate stand potential that would have gone unnoticed if not done. While maybe not as good as Natural Born the Arrow Users were still tested and chosen to wield their stands.

Stand points: 26

Natural Born

Natural Born stand users are a different level of stand user. They have such a connection with their stand that with enough training they can reach the peak of what it means to be a stand user.

Stand points: 36

Pro User

Through trial and tribulation these stand users, no matter their origin, have reached the pinnacle of Stand power.

Stand points: 46

• Each new ability isn’t paid for and is instead one type higher than the prior one.

Bonuses: Act 1: +3 in one stat, Act 2: +2 in two different stand stats, Act 3: +1 in every stat, Act 4: +2 in every stat.

PART 3 | STARDUST CRUSADERS

 

 

Ability

A stand’s ability is important to its identity and is relevant in and out of combat.

Weapon	5
Elemental	5

Time/Space	20

Weapons

Weapons are very simple ability wise. They usually give you an increase in your basic attacks range and damage. Type of weapon should match stands style.

Elemental

Stands with elemental abilities can usually produce and control a specific element. This can be used in a wide variety of waves limited only by the imagination.

Other

Literally anything that doesn’t fit the others

Life

Life abilities can be considered abilities that can have a massive affect on life either through creation, controlling, or changing it. Life abilities are typically very strong which is reflected in their cost

First Step

Someone focused on rushing past all other enemies and allies to get the first strike on whoever they wanted.

• during the first round, you cannot be opportunity attacked

Observer

The first goal of these people is to learn something about their enemies.

• on your first turn, roll a d6 for every enemy to learn one of their stats
• In the first round only, you can use your reaction to attack anyone within 30ft of you

Menacing Aura

Their presence on the field makes enemies rethink the fight before it starts.

THE STANCE

During a battle, these users show their strength at its highest.

Bloodlust

A look that sends shivers down the enemy’s spine as Bloodlust runs high.

• after 3 rounds have passed, you can perform one extra attack for 2 round
• In that same rounds, you move an extra 10ft

The Opening

Waiting for a mess-up is when these users take their shot.

This section will be teaching you the aspects of the system and how to actually play it.

Human Rules

Human and stand interactions are an intergral part of Jojo’s.

Armor options

If available humans have acess to to armor that acts as an optional armor class that they can declare before being attacked instead of rolling.

Energy Burst

To prevent stunlock for players and enemies alike, a system has been added to give humans the chance to break out of a Stands untouchable grip. If a person has been grappled by any stand(non-ability grapple) for 2 rounds at the start of their turn, the person can release a burst of fighting energy to break out. This costs either 5 Stamina or 10 HP to use.

Lingering Injuries

If you have taken 40 or more damage in a round or 20 or more damage if you have been crit in that round, then roll for a lingering injury. https://worldbuilderblog.files.wordpress.com/2015/07/lingering-injuries.pdf

Short and long Rests

Short rests can be 1–4 hours long and allow you to heal 10 hp and 5 stamina per hour. You can do light activites while resting.

Long rests take 8 hours and require you to be asleep for 6 of these hours.

Downtime Options

Whether this entales setting up camp in the dessert sands or heading over to johnny’s place after school: Downtime is Downtime.

Weapon Training

During a short rest, you can train with a weapon that you have that you are not already proficient with. After doing this 5 times you will become proficient with the weapon.

Freidnly Spar

During a short rest, instead of resting and regaining hp you can spend the time battling it out with an ally. You and a willing ally will play out a battle and fight until one player reaches 1 hp or lower. After the battle you will return to the same hp and stamina as you had before the fight but the winner will gain 1 inspiration(does not stack).

Stand Rules

Stand Sight

Stand users have the ability to close their eyes in concentration and transfer their senses into their stand. When this is active you can see, hear, and speak(you can always do this btw) through your stand. Your human body remains stationary and you become deafened and blinded(Long range exlcuded). If your human body is hit you are knocked out of the Stand Sight and your senses return.

WARNING: if your stand is too far you will not be able to call it back automatically(expanded on it combat rules).

incorporeal form

Stands can Freely pass through solid objects while grabbing a different object with ease. While they can’t do anything complicated without extreme precision(Diver Down exception) they generally have no issues walking straight through walls.

Stand Stun

The stunned condition is the only condition that prevents your stand from being out. If a user gets crit hit twice in a row or gets double crit on an attack (nat 20 for an enemy, nat 1 for a user) then they will be stunned for a round.

Combat rules

This is the outline for how combat will work when a fight breaks out.

Taking Actions

On your turn, you can take a couple types of actions. Each of these have diffrent things that you are allowed to do in them.

Main Action

• Attack with weapon
• Attack with stand (your extra attacks can be spread out throug the turn)
• Attempt a grapple(using your stand is just like attacking)
• Dash, Disengage, or Dodge
• Ready Action

Bonus Action

• Summon/Call back stand
• Using Item

Reaction

• Opportunity Attack

Free

• Drop Item

Non Action

• Respond to attacks with counter, dodge, or block
• Speak

Movement

Everyone has a base movement of 30ft unless said otherwise.

Stand Placement

• A stand can be on the same square as its user but not on the same square as someone else

• Stands can pass through squares with humans but not other stands(unless other stand is physical)

• Stands also have disadvantage on ranged attacks if another stand is within 5 ft. of them

Distance from user

If a stand is more than 10ft away from its user than it cannot defend its user from attacks.

Combos

In Jojo’s combat speed is not a set pace at any given moment. One fight can be a slow crawl towards an enemy miles away, and another can be a fast-paced close-quarters punch to match. While we already have out-of-combat stuff for the former Combos are here to simulate that smooth moment shown in some fights.

The Basics

To start let’s explain How and when you can use combos. Combos can only be started if you(or your stand) are within 5 ft. of an enemy and you also need at least 5 Momentum(explained later). To start a combo first you list up to 5 actions in total that you would like to do in this combo, for example: “1. I use a star finger to sweep one of his legs bringing him down to one knee, 2. As he falls down I will uppercut him to make his head face upward, 3. I do a jumping-forward flip with start platinum to be right above him, 4. I stop time, 5. I destroy his face with an ora rush.

With this system, you can do cinematic actions that utilize your stand powers. Each action in the combo will benefit you even in minor ways like tripping them up gives you an advantage for later in the steps. The risks of this are that each individual action is its own roll of the dice, you are limited by your speed stat for how many direct attacks you can do in a row for the combo, and every success in a combo makes the difficulty and punishment more intense. (also this wastes your turn but that’s a given)

Combo Phases

As stated above each step in the combo increases its difficulty and below is a chart listing the increase. Also listed below is how many direct attacks (damaging in nature) you can do in a row for a combo.

Phase Chart

Phase	Roll debuff	Punishment
1	none	-7 Momentum
2	-1	-3 momentum, 1.5 damage from counter
3	-2	-1 momentum, 1 level of exhaustion(removed after a fight, stacks)
4	-3	Blinded for 1 round, half movement
5	-5	Stunned for round, ends at the end of their next turn

Attacks allowed in a Row

Speed	Attacks
E	0
D	1
C	2
B	3
A	4

Momentum

Momentum is representing the flow of battle picking up and slowing down. In this system not only is it required for combos but also for Ultimates(Later). To build and lose momentum there are a couple of ways listed below.

Character Advancement

Actions	Momentum Change
Basic Attack	+1
Crit on Basic attack	+2
Hit on ora rush	+4
Finish Combo	+5
Win Rush Battle	+8
Crit Ora Rush	+10
Hit by Basic Attack Crit	-2
Hit by ora rush	-4
Hit by full combo	-5
Lose Rush battle	-6
Hit by Crit rush	-8
Misc. combo failures	Listed above

Ultimate Attacks

In the heat of Battle when your momentum reaches its peak you can go all with one massive move. Choose one Ultimate(NOT catagory) when you make your character.

Offensive Ultimates

These ultimates focus on keeping pressure on your enemy with a massivly powerful move.

Rushdown

Damage: 10d4

Momentum: 25

Special effect: Can be activated from up to 40 ft. away from the target without any downside. Can all be rolled as one attack or any amount(example: 5d4, 5d4/ 2d4, d4, d4, 6d4). Can throw out stand ability halfway through as part of it

Pressure

Damage: 6d6

Momentum: 15

Special effect: Done at 10 ft. away. After the hit, you will activate an effect and cause a debuff for the next 3 rounds. For those three rounds, the enemy takes d8+4 damage and cannot move, summon, or activate their stand.

Defensive Ultimates

These Ultimates are more defensive in nature as they require you to be attacked for their activation.

Bait & Punish

Damage: 8d4+Speed stat

Momentum: 20

Special effect: Acts as a Dodge with advantage. After the successful dodge, you can either activate your stand ability or a condition applied to the enemy(case by case).

Grappler

Damage: 9d8 +20

Momentum: 30

Special effect: Acts as a Block with Advantage. After the hit, you can either hold them in the grapple or body slam them for %25 of the damage originally done by the initial attack.

Extra Rules

This part details some extra not super important things.

Weapons

Below are the stats for weapons that are not already listed in dnd. (stands can use them but obviously don’t get prof. bonus or damage bonus) https://roll20.net/compendium/dnd5e/Weapons#content

Order of activation in combat

I’ll take a second to clarify what you can do during an attack and WHEN you can do more importantly. The way they are listed is that something that can be done in that phase of the attack will be listed there BUT if it has a * next to it then it can be done at any point before that phase as well. this is for stand stuff not much else.

Before Attack

• Declare attack(duh)

• Opponent declares response

• Opponent declares block disadvantage

After Attack Roll

• Declare Extra Stand damage *

Before Damage roll

• Declare auto block *
• Jojo auto suceed *

Combo Breakers

Combo Breakers stand out as a high durability tool that essentially lets them break out of a combo at any point in it. These are per battle abilities so you must be careful with your uses but its still worth noting how powerful they are as an ability.

Vehicle Combat

https://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/MSRD:Vehicle_Movement_and_Combat we are just using this. kinda.
