CODEX: RASKOLL 3000

The Ultimate Rulebook for Urban Wasteland Motorsport Mayhem

SECTION 1: CORE MECHANICS FRAMEWORK

The 2d6 Resolution System

When the engines roar and fists start flying, all checks boil down to this:

Roll 2d6 + Attribute Modifier vs. Target Number (TN)

Difficulty Ratings:

TN 6: Easy – hop a curb, cut through traffic.
TN 8: Standard – outmaneuver a rival, pull a controlled drift.
TN 10: Hard – thread a rig through flaming wreckage.
TN 12: Extreme – Hollywood stunt bullshit.

Degrees of Success:

Failure (below TN): You eat scrap. Complication or partial success with cost.
Success (meet TN): You pull it off, no problem.
Critical (exceed TN by 3+): Style points. Extra bonus or chain into another move.
Critical Failure (snake eyes): Total disaster — something blows, breaks, or explodes.
Critical Success (double 6s): The crowd goes wild. Over-the-top stunts, extra benefit.

Partial Success Bands (Optional Rule)

Miss by 1–2 → You succeed, but at a price (damage, lost junk, worse position).
Miss by 3+ → Full fail, no mercy.

Your crew’s DNA. Rated 1–5.
