BRPG Physical (Listen)[]

BRPG Physical (Listen) is a skill used in the BRPG Roleplaying Game system. Skills are used in the BRPG System to account for what a character can or cannot do in a game and how well. Skills are based upon a character's Faculties and are generally added to a 10-sided die's roll compared to either a Game Master's roll or an opposing player.

Physical (Listen) falls into the Physical knowledge category which include skills directly having to do with a character's physical abilities, activities and knowledge.

Listen describes the character's ability to be aware of unusual sounds or audible disturbances that may have some meaningful affect upon that character. It can be used when a character is trying to "sense" if something is wrong or out of the ordinary, to detect quiet noises or disturbances, or uncover suspected characters that are sneaking.

A player can request a "listen check" against a Game Master for the prior mentioned reasons or a Game Master may simply roll one without player knowledge/request to anticipate an unexpected sound and/or foe. To complete a Physical (Listen) check, the player rolls the ten-sided die and adds both the Perception faculty score and any bonus to the Listen skill. The Game Master rolls a "difficulty" roll depending on how difficult the perceived sound. If the player beats the Game Master's roll than that is considered a "success" and the sound is heard. Successes are tallied and a bonus is awarded to Physical (Listen) every 5 successes. If the Game Master wins the roll then the sound is not heard and the player does not receive a success.

Players can also request to roll against other players for various reasons including hearing distant voices in other rooms, deciphering something that was said under one's breath or to make out unseen but audible activity. If an opposing player is trying to be "discreet" and unheard then they simply use the Faculty "Agility" as a bonus to the ten-sided roll. If they have the Physical (Sneak) skill then they can add that bonus as well. The listening player rolls just like he or she would against the GM and the opposing player is heard if he or she wins.

In addition to successes, bonuses can be added to the Physical (Listen) skill if a player studies from professional materials for eight hours, learns from another character with a higher score for four hours or receives formal training from a professional for two hours (this could include military or law enforcement trainers).

Physical (Listen) takes one move to conduct in a combat round but requires no "time" in standard game play.

Attribute Bonuses: None.
Application: This skill describes the number of active (as opposed to passive) special abilities that can be effectively used by a character. This skill only applies to abilities that are not a normal part of the character, and have been newly gained (for example by a Hollowstar pseudomagical weapon). The maximum number of such abilities that a character can use effectively is 2 + this skill. If the character passes this number, he must roll against a difficulty roll each time that he tries to use an artificial bonus.
Advancement: Each time a character reaches his maximum number of artificial bonuses, the Game Master rolls a d10. If the roll is lower than the number of active bonuses, the character advances in this skill.
