Vagabond RPG core mechanics: d20 vs Difficulty (20 - Stat, or 20 - Stat×2 if Trained). Crit on nat 20. Favor/Hinder adds/subtracts d6. Six stats: Might (HP, melee), Dexterity (speed, finesse), Awareness (ranged, detect), Reason (arcana, craft), Presence (influence, leadership), Luck (rerolls). Max HP = Might × Level. Combat: Heroes go first, Actions include Attack/Cast/Hold/Jump/Rush/Use. Defend with Block (Endure) or Dodge (Reflex). Magic: Mana cost depends on damage dice + delivery area + duration. Cast skill varies by class (Wizard=Arcana, Druid=Mysticism, Sorcerer=Influence). Enemy AI uses Zones (Frontline/Midline/Backline) and Morale (2d6 check).
