Final Fantasy 14 Fan Creates New Table Top Roleplaying System Based on 5e

gamerant.com:

As an MMORPG, the setting of Final Fantasy 14 lends itself well to roleplaying, both in-game and at the tabletop. One Final Fantasy 14 fan has created a new, easy-to-use table top roleplaying system loosely based on the 5th Edition of Dungeons & Dragons to tell tales set in the world of the critically-acclaimed MMORPG.

The system was designed by Final Fantasy 14 fan and Redditor ladygrey94, also known as Grey Fantasies. A veteran FF14 roleplayer and fan of D&D 5E, she sought to create a system that balances the comprehensive rules of 5E and the freedom of systems like FATE, all while keeping it easy and beginner-friendly.

The system itself is simple and designed in a way to allow for flexibility and customization while requiring minimal die rolling. As characters increase in levels, they gain Character Points to purchase Attributes and Skills to become proficient in. Their HP, MP, and bonus to rolls increase naturally with level, and they can increase their Resilience Rating–comparable to Armor Class in D&D–with armor, abilities, and maneuvers in combat.

To keep things simple, this system only requires a single d20 to resolve things–actions in combat deal set damage. Trained Abilities, which are learned as characters gain levels, can be used to increase damage and maneuver around the battlefield and are fueled by the character’s MP. Some Blessed Abilities–supernatural gifts, like the Echo of Final Fantasy 14 fame–can give additional benefits in and out of combat.

This is not the first Final Fantasy 14 crossover with Dungeons & Dragons on the internet. Soren of Asgard has transformed several Final Fantasy 14 jobs intoD&D classes over the years and is
