LEGEND OF KORRA

RPG RULES

What you need to play-3d6, 1d4, 1d8, 1d10, 1d12, paper and a

pencil.

The Four Ways

The Four Ways are four separate abilities

that measure a charactersskills and

natural power. These values are

represented by numbers ranging from 1

to 6. A character cannot have a Way

below 1 or higher than 6 (having a Wayof

6 is referred to as Zen or Z for short).

The Way of Martial Arts

This measures the characters knowledge

of and ability to execute martial fighting

styles. A character with a high martial arts

element can perform complex fighting

moves or dances such as katas whether

for combat or bending. The Way of

Martial Arts is the key Wayfor combatbeing used forAttack tests andDefence

tests. A character with a low Martial Arts

will either be clumsy or inexperienced in

combat situations. An example of a

character with a high score in Martial Arts

would beAvatar Korra from the Legend of

Korra.

The Way of Mind

This measures the characters intellectualprowess whether analytical or wisdom or

both. A character with a high mind can be

incredibly intelligent but not very wise or

vice versa. Mind is used to devise the best

solution to a problem, to recall knowledge

and even to resolve problems with people.

A character with a low mind will often be

the butt of many jokes and will often fall

for enemy traps. An example of a

character with a high mind would be

Varric from the Legend of Korra, who is a

successful business man and inventor who

can trick others into trusting him.

The Way of Vigour

This measures the characters physical

power and is used when moving or liftingheavy objects or for performing bending

techniques that have a heavy toll on the

body. A character with a high Vigour may

not necessarily be masculine but instead

this measures the characters ability to

overcome physical barriers such as

overcoming pain or reaching further into a

hidden pool of stamina. The Way of

Vigour also measures the characters

immune system and the bodysability toreduce damage. An example of a

character with a high Vigour is Toph

Beifongwho though, only is a child in the

Legend of Aang, she is capable to

overcome a tremendous amount of

physical stress despite her childish frame.

The Way of Spirit

This measures the characters natural

aura and connection to the spirit realm. It

also measures their ability to sense the

auras of other beings and the ability to

perceive. A character with a high spirit can

often sense spirits and even sometimes

see them, additionally high spirited

characters tend to be naturally good and

others can sense this and feel they can

trust the character. A character with a low

spirit may not care for the spirit realm and

its inhabitants and has a dark aura, similar

to the fire nation soldiers who destroyed

nature without remorse. Even if someone

with a low spirit is good, people tend to

feel they have a dark secret or are cursed.

Sometimes people will outright avoid

them in fear of catching bad luck. An

example of a character with a high spirit

would beJenorahfrom the Legend of

Korrawho is able to converse with spirits

and even visit the spirit world.

How do the Four Ways

work in play?

The Ways are most commonly used for

Way tests, these are simply a 2d6+Way

score versus a target which is set by theGame Master and determined by various

factors. If the result is equal to or higher

than the target, you succeed.

Example: Kristy is playing an Earth Bender

named Zao Ling and is attempting to

sense the presence of a spirit. She rolls 2d6

and gets a 4 and a 5 making 9 (4+5=9).

She then adds her spirit score of 3

resulting in a total of 12 (9+3=12). Michael,the Game master compares the result to

the target he set of 8. Zao Ling detects the

presence of a spirit as her result was

higher than the target.

Challenged Way tests

When one character wishes to do

something and others wish to interfere or

challenge that action, this is called a

Challenged Way test. In a Challenged Way

test all competing characters roll

2d6+Way scores and the character with

the highest result is victorious.

Which of the Four Ways

do I add?

This is usually decided by the game master

but below is a guideline for each of the

Four Ways.

-Martials Arts is used when training to

learn new techniques, to resolve a spar, to

create a martial weapon, to explain

combat tactics, or anything that involves

fighting. Additionally anything that

requires hand eye co-ordination or

balance such as gymnastics, pick

pocketing or moving quietly.

-Mind is used to decipher a complex code,

to recall knowledge about a particular

subject, to design machine schematics or

to repair a machine. It is also used to lie,

swindle or to manipulate someone.

Anything that requires wisdom,

intelligence or understanding is

determined by the Way of the Mind.

-Vigour is used to climb a mountain; run a

marathon, lift weights, to overcome

illness and to resist physical harm.

Anything that requires the power of the

body is used with the Way of Vigour.

-Spirit is used for when detecting thepresence of others whether through

seeing, hearing or smelling or simply

having that spiritual feeling that

someones nearby. Spirit gives characters

a spiritual compass that directs their

attention to things they wish to find so it

is also used to search and navigate in

areas you have no prior knowledge of.

Unlike the Mind element which is used to

lie or trick others, Spirit is used to befriendpeople or animals. It is also used for when

resisting damage from spirits or

interacting with the spirit realm.

Fighting Styles

Fighting styles are what define your

characters fighting capabilities, whether

yourean Earth bender or a humble

swordsman.

Each character chooses a Fighting Style,

once chosen, that style starts at the first

rankwhich is (Novice). A character cannot

choose two bending styles as only the

Avatar can learn more than one bending

style. However, a character with a rank in

a bending fighting style can choose a

martial style and vice versa. There are four

ranks in each fighting style.


4/33

Fighting Style Ranks

Fighting styles are ranked in levels of skill,

the first rank is Novice which characters

start at after choosing their Fighting Style.

Below is a guide which outlines what a

character can do at each of the ranks.

NoviceRank: The character canperform novice techniques such as

pushing, pulling or lifting their bending

element and making basic attacks. A

martial fighter can perform basic strikes.

Apprentice: The character can nowperform basic moves with ease and can

now perform Apprentice techniques such

as more powerful strikes or small

combinations with their element. Martial

fighters can execute more complex

attacks and blocks.

Advanced: The character can performapprentice techniques with ease and can

now perform advanced level attacks suchas manipulating their element into more

effective forms or conjuring large

quantities of their element. Martial artists

learn new stances and diverse combat

techniques and can chain their attacks

into combinations.

Master: The character can performmaster level techniques such as

manipulating their element into incrediblycomplex forms or manipulating gigantic

amounts of their element. A martial artist

can perform legendary techniques and

can unleash relentless combo attacks.

Attempting attacks above

your fighting style rank

Sometimes you will describe a series of

attacks or bending techniques andsometimes the Gamemaster will rule that

the technique you are describing sounds

too difficult for a character with your rank.

You can still attempt to do that which you

are describing but there are some limits to

this. First your character will be penalised

with a Fault on the test. (Read on for rules

about Edge and Fault).

Note: You cannot use this rule to attempt

a technique in a fighting style you have no

ranks in.

Style Bonuses

Each rank in a fighting style provides a

bonus to your fighting capabilities. The

bonuses apply to your characters Fighting,Defence andInitiative values and details

your Damage Dice andAverage Range.

These values are detailed later on in the

combat section.

Special-Styles

Fighting styles have Special-styles which

are unique styles that have only one rank.

Unlike normal Fighting styles you mustmeet the requirements to learn Special-

styles and you must possess at least one

rank in a Fighting Style before taking a

rank in a Special-Style. There is an

exception for Metal and Lava bending

Special-Styles as an Earth Bender cannot

be both. If you are playing a campaign set

in or after the Legend of Korra and are

creating an earth bender roll 1d6 and

consult the table below to determinewhat Special-Style your character will one

day command. This is because all earth

benders upon birth are either metal

benders, lava benders or neither.

1-3 4-5 6None Metal

BendingLava

Bending

When you use a special style you must use

the bonuses provided rather than those of


5/33

your fighting style. You continue to use

the bonuses of the special style until the

beginning of your next turn. So for

example if youre attacked after using a

special style then you must use the

defence rank bonus of that style. Special

Styles provide no Initiative Rank Bonus as

the IRB from your Fighting Style is used.

Step1Each character has 10 Points to put into

their Waysof Martial Arts, Mind, Vigour

and Spirit. All Waysstart at 1 and can beraised to a maximum of 6 also referred to

as Zen or Z. This represents that the

character has reached the perfection or

the status of Zen in the affected Way

statistic.

Alternatively you can gamble at a chance

of creating a stronger character but at the

risk of creating a weaker one than the

option above.Roll 2d6 then total the result and apply

the result to the table below. The Way

column states what your Way score total

will be. Come on spider-snake eyes!

Step2Each character has 1 fighting style rank

upon creation and must place it into one

fighting style to become a novice rank.

Alternatively a Game master might want

to run a higher rank game so youd get

more ranks to spend. You cannot place

one rank into two different bending styles

however, you can place one rank into a

bending style and one into a martial style

or one into two different martial styles. If

youre starting with a higher ranked

character then create a character with a

rank of 1 in a single fighting style then

consult theAdvancing Characterssection

below.

Step3Upon creation each character receives a

single skill of their choosing. The character

must meet the requirements before

taking the skill. More rules on skills further

on.

Step4Calculate chi and spirit points. Chi points

are what measure your life force and

determines how close you are to

unconsciousness. Your total Chi points are

the sum of your Vigour value times 4. Your

Spirit points are a pool of spiritual energy

that can be used like luck or karma to tilt

fate in your favour. Your spirit points total

is determined by your Way of the Spirit

value times three. Chi points and Spirit

points are detailed later on in Combat and

extensively for the use of Spirit points in

the Spirit Points section.

Chi points total = Vigour x 4

Spirit points total = Spirit x 3

Step5

Starting currency and purchasingequipment. Upon creation characters

have 1d6x10 Republic City Yuan or 1d6

gold pieces if youre playing in a Legend of

Aang campaign. Currencies and detailed

BloodBending

Blood Bending is one of the most feared styles

of bending though it is a well-kept secret and

is considered highly taboo. Founded by the

water bender Hama, this dark art has a

befitting origin to match its cruel nature.

Imprisoned by the Fire Nation during the war,

Hama was among many imprisoned in cells

specifically designed to hold Waterbenders.

During the full moon Hama began to construct

this new art, testing it on the rats that entered

in her cell. Once ready she had the very

guards that kept her imprisoned release her

by bending the blood within them and

controlling their movements. Blood Bending is

viewed negatively as its core principle is

removing an individuals free will and forcing

your own desire upon them. Characters who

learn Blood Bending should expect to find

themselves demonised and feared. Blood

Bending can only be used during a full moon

when Waterbending is at its strongest.

SpecialMake a Waterbending attacktest against a single target. The target

opposes you with a Mind element test. If

the target succeeds they ignore your

attack. If you succeed you control the

target and they become restrained. You

can force them to move half their speed

each turn and force them to make simple

movements such as dropping an item or

waving their hands. Whilst controlling

someone, on your turn you can force thetarget to make an attack. The target

cannot use bending so the attack has a

FRB and DRB of +1, an Average Range of

Adjacent and uses 1d6 as its Damage Dice.

When controlled the target, on their turn

can make another opposed Mind element

test versus the Waterbending Attack Test

result that was used to control them. If

you are attacked whilst controlling

someone the target is freed. Whilst

controlling a target you can make a

second Waterbending attack test on your

turn to control a second target though

whether you fail or succeed you must

spend 1d6 spirit points. You can repeat

this on each of your turns, spending the

1d6 spirit points each time you control anadditional target. You can control a

maximum of up to your Way of Spirit or

until you run out of Spirit Points.

RequirementsWaterbending AdvancedRank

ChiHealing

Chi Healing is an advanced Waterbending

technique traditionally taught to only the

females of the Water Tribes. Chi Healing is the

ability to tap into the Chi network in a

creatures body and using water as a catalyst

to redirect the Chi flow to heal injuries both

physical and mental. Chi Healing does have its

weaknesses and limits as witnessed in the

Legend of Aang/Korra show Chi Healing has

difficulties healing internal injuries, geneticdefects or restoring lost body parts.

SpecialOn your turn you can spend youraction to heal yourself or an adjacent target.

You then declare how many Spirit Points you

intend on spending then for every 3 Spirit

Points you spend you can restore 1d6 ChiPoints to the target.

RequirementsWaterbending ApprenticeRank, Way of Spirit 4.

CombustionBending

Combustion Bending is a rare Firebendingtechnique which origin is unknown. A

Combustion Bender can emit a highly

concentrated beam of Firebending which

travels through the air leaving only white

marks similar to a super sonic boom as an

indication of its direction until it explodes

upon impact with devastating force. This art

can be accurate, difficult to avoid or block and

highly potent though it does have a glaring

flaw. In order to successfully Combustion

Bend, the Bender must concentrate their

energy through their third eyewhich is a

tattoo on the forehead. If disrupted during

this process or the bender loses concentration

then the attack can miss and explode within a

fatal radius of the bender.

SpecialCombustion Bending attacks aredifficult to block or avoid so targets receive a

fault on Defence Tests against Combustion

Bending. As a special rule a character can

choose to hit a Combustion Benders third eye.

This attack receives a fault and deals no

damage however, if successful the next time

the Combustion Bender uses a Combustion

Bending attack, itll explode at point blank and

deal damage to anyone within a 10 foot

radius including the Combustion Bender.

RequirementsFirebending AdvancedRank, Way of Mind 5

ICEBending

Ice Bending is a fairly common style though it

is a varied and valuable tool in any

Waterbenders arsenal. The exact origin of Ice

Bending is unknown though this is probablydue to the fact so many Waterbenders can Ice

Bend, many of them without even being first

taught how to do so.

SpecialIce Bending uses the bonusesprovided by your Waterbending though it

provides an empty canvas on which an array

of techniques can be thought up and put into

practice. Ice Bending allows a Waterbender to

use their special movement on land but

compared to what an Ice Bender can achievethis is only the tip of the iceberg. An Ice

Bender can create stairs, slopes and ramps to

move about the terrain or alter the battlefield

by creating cover or walls to block off an

enemies advance. Ice Bending is what you

make it and is only limited by your

imagination (and of course by the GM).RequirementsWaterbendingApprentice Rank

LightningBending

Lightning Bending is highly coveted by

Firebenders and is a milestone to becoming atrue Firebending master. During the Hundred

Year War Lightning Bending was fairly rare

and only a few highly ranking officers and

members of the royal family had access to this

ability however, during the events of the

Legend of Korra Lightning Bending was far

more common. Lightning Bending is achieved

through separating the negative energies

within oneself and dispelling them through

your fingertips.

SpecialTargets whore in physical contactwith metal take an extra 1d6 damage.RequirementsFirebending RankAdvanced, Way of Spirit 5

MetalBending

Metalbending first appeared in the final years

of the Hundred Year War. It was created by

Toph Beifong who later opened the BeifongMetalbending Academy. Metalbending has

become common place in the Legend of Korra

and most of the Republic City police force are

metalbenders. Metalbenders are not actually

bending the metal but instead the unrefined

earth minerals present inside the metal, this is

why metalbenders cannot bend highlypurified metals such as platinum.

SpecialMetalbenders can use their actionto destroy or remove metal armour and

weapons. This is automatic and requires no

test. Metalbenders can also use their action to

shape a piece of metal into armour and equip

it.RequirementsEarthbending Rank

Advanced, Metalbending potential character

SandBending

Created by the nomadic tribes of the Si Wong

desert located in the Earth Kingdom,

Sandbending is a special form of Earthbending.

The untrained Earthbender has great difficulty

bending sand due to its loose form that lacks

the rigidity of earth.

Specialyou can bend sand and alsooperate a sand-sailer.

RequirementsThis Special-Style isunique and can be taken upon initial character

creation though you must commit to an

Earthbending character meaning you cannot

take any ranks in any other bending style. As it

can be taken upon creation it provides a +1

Initiative Rank Bonus until replaced by

another IRB from a new Fighting Style.

Advancing Characters

Unlike most games, there are no levels or

experience points in the Legend of Korra

RPG. This is to discourage players fromattacking enemies for the sake of

advancing in level or making decisions in

the hope of gaining ranks. Instead a

character advances by increasing their

fighting style rank by 1. You advance when

the game master allows you to, this

maybe when the Game master decides to

raise the tier of the game or if she feels

that the party has read enough bending

scrolls, practiced with enough masters orsimply have survived enough dire

situations enough times to warrant an

increase in ability.

Additionally each time you increase your

fighting style rank youre granted a chi

point increase of 10. So you receive 10 chi

points at Apprentice rank, then another

10 at Advanced rank and a final 10 at

Master rank. If you have taken a rank inone fighting style then take another in a

second fighting style, you do not receive

any additional chi points. You only receive

these 10 when you first ever reach

Apprentice, Advanced and Master. For

example if you create a fire bender and

advance him to Apprentice rank, you

receive 10 chi points as you have never

reached this rank before. If you then take

a rank in Pugilist you receive no chi points,even if you raise Pugilist again to

Apprentice rank you do not receive

another 10 chi points as the 10 for this

rank have been expended.

Each rank after the novice rank, you

receive one additional skill to apply to

your character. The rules for attaining

skills are the same for the chi points

increase, you only get them for when you

first reach each rank.

Upon gaining a higher rank you also

receive point to increase a Way value of

your choice. The same rule as the chi

points and skills applies for this

advancement. If you increase your Vigour

or Spirit values then you must recalculate

your total Chi points and your Spirit points

total.

So when you advance a character you

always receive.

1 Fighting Style Rank

If the rank is a tier that you have never

achieved before you also receive.

+10 Chi Points

+1 Additional Skill

+1 Way point

What to do after

Master Rank?

Once youve achieved master rank and

feel a little down about not being able togain a chi point, skill or Way score

increase then not to worry. If the Game

Master is willing then you can move onto

a Master+ campaign.

What is Master+?

In a Master+ campaign the characters

have become renowned masters of their

fighting style, similar to Toph Beifong inthe Legend of Korra or Sokkas master

Piandao. But before this can happen all

characters must be at Master rank in at

least one fighting style. If this is not the

case or only half the group has achieved a

master rank then continue to advance the

characters by awarding fighting style ranks

to the master characters whilst advancing

the others normally.


16/33

15

For example; Kristys character, Zao Ling

has reached master rank in Earth bending

but her friend, Jeds character Liu Ma

hasnt, as instead of becoming a master

when Zao Ling did, he chose to take a rank

in a second fighting style. The GM

continues the game until the characters

earn an advancement. Jed advances Liu

Ma to a master fire bender whilst Kristy,

who is already a master must take a rank

in another fighting style or special style.

Once all characters have reached master

rank then they move onto a Master+

campaign. The only way to gain an

increase at this point is not throughbending scrolls, senseisor basic

experience but by overcoming great odds

such as defeating a powerful evil spirit

that is able to bring forth an apocalypse,

defeating the Avatar in Avatar state or

simply saving the world. When the

Gamemaster believes you have achieved

something like this youll receive a Way

point and a Master+ Fighting Rank. If your

character already has a Zen rating in aWay value then you can increase it to a

Zen+ which changes the value from 6 to

an 8. A Master+ rank means the character

has become one of the greatest masters

of all time in their element and may

pioneer techniques that will revolutionise

that style. A Master+ bending character

can work with the GM to pioneer a new

unseen Special-Style such as time, gravity,

mind or platinum bending. As long as theGM agrees to it, your character can begin

creating it.

Additionally your character can form an

inner power that was never there before.

If youre an earth bender then you can

unlock metal or lava bending if you failed

to unlock one of the two during initial

character creation. If youre a non-bender

then just like Bumi you can suddenly

unleash your dormant air (or element ofyour choice) bending powers!

-From now on, its 24/7 Bumi Time!

Skills

Skills are extra characteristics such as

armour training, the ability to fight whilst

blinded, defence focuses, resistances and

unnatural strength. Skills can be earned

through character advancement and

during character creation. Most skills have

requirements which must be met,

otherwise they cannot be taken. Some

skills also have a resource followed by two

numbers. Whenever you use a skill that

has a resource, you must roll 1d6. If the

number is on or within the two numbers

then you have spent your resource andcannot use that skill until after a full-rest.

If the result is outside the two numbers

then you can use the skill again. You can

continue using the skill until you expend

the resource.

For example: Jed gave Liu Ma the Acrobat

skill when creating him. During the game

Liu Ma is being chased and wishes to

make a quick getaway. He decides to walkacross a rope between two buildings then

flip over a wall. The GM decides this will

be a Way of Martial Arts test. Since it

sounds acrobatic, Jed asks the GM if he

can use his Acrobatic skill and is given

permission. Liu Ma now has edge on the

test but before he rolls he must see if he

has spent his resource. He rolls 1d6 and it

lands on a 2.

Since the resource range is 5-6 on theAcrobat skill, Liu Ma has not spent his

resource and can use the skill again later.

If he had rolled a 5 or 6 then he would not

be able to use it again until he next has a

full-rest.

Basic Skills

Basic Skills are skills that your character

has learned through study or simply

through routine over time. They cannot

be gained through advancement but

instead they may be gifted to you by theGM for an interesting and detailed

character background or throughout the

progress of the game.

For example: Eric writes up an interesting

background for his water bending

character Wong. John the GM is so

impressed that he feels inclined to award

Erics character with the Artisan (Tailor)

skill. John chose this skill as Eric wrote that

when Wong was a child he helped his

parents in their tailoring business.

Alternatively: During the game Eric has his

character practice tailoring and even pay

for lessons. When John feels Erics

character has spent enough time learning

he grants him the Artisan (Tailoring) basic

skill to reflect his training.

Skill tests are almost always Way of the

Mind tests however, some are Way of the

Spirit tests as indicated in their title. There

is no limit on how many basic skills a

character can learn however, it is advised

that a character can learn no more than

their Way of the Mind value.

CalculatedStatisticsChi Points

Chi points are essentially what measuresyour characters life. Being dealt damage

reduces your chi points and when they

reach zero, your character has fallen

unconscious or is unable to fight. Chi

points are measured by your Way of

Vigour value x4 at novice rank. Each time

you increase your fighting style rank you

receive an additional 10 chi points. For

more on the rules for chi points increasing,

see advancing characters.

Speed

All characters have a speed of 20feet

however, bending fighting styles can

provide special modes of transportation

such as moving on water and bonuses to

speed. See Specials forms of Movement

for more details.

Initiative

Initiative is determined mainly by luck andthough some characters have a small edge

through practiced reflexes, combat is

wholly unpredictable. To resolve initiative

each character rolls 2d6 and adds the

highest initiative rank bonus from their

fighting style rank.

Armour

Armour is a statistic that reduces damage

taken to the wearer. Armour can also be

added through bending techniques such

as Suyin Beifongs metal coating.

Additionally some creatures have natural

armour. More rules for armour can be

found in the Equipment section.

Fighting Style

Techniques

The rules for what you can and cant do

with your fighting style are abstract, giving

a lot of freedom allowing you to unleash

your imagination. The rank you have in

your fighting style outlines what youre

capable of though, as a rule you can

attempt techniques that would fall undera rank above yours however, this will

result in a fault on the test. Alternatively

you can attempt a technique that is a rank

below yours which will result in edge. If

you perform a novice rank technique you

apply the attack bonus and damage dice

from the corresponding rank.Read ahead

for rules on Edge and Faults.

Example:Zao Ling is an Advanced rankEarth Bender and attacks the Air Bender


21/33

criminal. She describes her attack as I

bring down the wall of the building beside

the criminal and attempt to hit him with

an avalanche of rubble. The Game

Master decides this is a Novice rank

technique as Zao Ling is simply shifting the

wall and letting it collapse onto the

criminal. Because Zao Ling has an

advanced rank in earth bending and

Novice is two ranks below Advanced, she

receives an edge on the attack test. The

attack is resolved and she hits and deals

damage. She then attacks again but this

time pulls up the earth around the

criminal to form a make-shift prison. The

Game Master decides this attack is farmore complicated as she is not simply

moving her element but summoning it

from the ground and shaping it to form

the prison. It is decided that itll be an

Advanced ranked technique and as Zao

Ling is of the same rank she resolves the

attack as normal with no edge or fault.

If you are unable to think of a technique

relevant to the rank you desire then askyour Game Master for help (you can ask

other players but only with the Game

Masters approval first).

You may also debate that a technique you

described should be a lower or higher

rank however, if the Game Master does

not change her mind you must not argue

with her, instead you can ask what you

should change about the technique to

make it of the desired rank.

Novice Techniques

A novice technique is the basics of all

fighting styles. A fire bender at novice

rank could light a fire, create and control a

small flame, create fire from a punch orkick or shoot a small fireball that

dissipates after a few yards.

A pugilist will understand how to perform

basic blocks, execute two jabs or a swift

single kick.

Apprentice Techniques

An apprentice earth bender would be

able to summon rocks the size of a fully

grown man and hurl them 20 yards or

propel rocks the size of fists in rapid

succession. Theyd also be able to stamp

on the ground and create short ranged

tremors that knock people off balance. A

weapon master would know how to fight

two opponents simultaneously, how to

disarm clumsy opponents and when to

kick an opponent to knock them off guard.

Advanced Techniques

An advanced water bender would be able

to channel a powerful blast of water like a

hose pipe or create a wave strong enough

to knock a small group of people over.

Master Techniques

A master air bender has the power to

create a force of wind that can flip a sato

mobile or even challenge the direction of

a tornado. Masters have complete control

over their fighting style and are only ever

threatened by catastrophic natural

disasters or those who wield similar

power to themselves.

Combat Actions

How to take your turn

All combatants roll initiative

All combatants roll defence tests

The character with the highest

initiative result acts first and

decide their actions

If your character attacks then

make an attack test

Compare your attack test result to

the targets defence result

If it is higher than the targets

defence then roll damage (reduce

damage if target is wearing

armour)

Actions

On your turn you take one action and an

amount of extra actions limited by the

GMs discretion.

AttackActionYou can make an attack with your fighting

style, a weapon or an unarmed attack.

You must describe the attack and the

Gamemaster will decide what rank it is

then you must make an attack test.

AttackTestsAll attack tests are 2d6 rolls which you

add your Martial Arts value to and if

youre using a fighting style you have a

rank in, you also add the Fighting Rank

Bonus for that fighting style. You add the

Fighting Rank Bonus of the rank the

Gamemaster says your attack is.

Attack Test = 2d6 + Way of Martials Arts +

Fighting Rank Bonus.

You compare the result to the targets

defence test result. If it is higher you

successfully hit and deal damage. See

Advanced Rules for details on damage.

Attacks that do not use your Fighting

Style= 2d6 + Way of Martials Arts.

Additionally you can target multiple

targets but this could increase the attacks

rank. When targeting multiple targets you

make a single attack test against each of

the targets defence test results. You cantarget up to an amount of targets that the

Gamemaster allows you to, they will make

the decision based on the average range

of the attack, how close the targets are

together and how much of your bending

source is available.

DefenceTestsYou roll a defence test after rolling

initiative. You keep the result for theremainder of the round and roll a new

defence test at the beginning of each

round. Due to the nature of these rules,

intelligent characters will look for and

target enemies who look off guard during

each round.

Defence Test = 2d6 + Way of Martial Arts

+ Defence Rank Bonus

DefendActionYou spend your turn studying the

opponent and adapt your defence. You

can re-roll your defence test for this round

though, be careful you might get a lower

result. Additionally you can choose to

defend an attack that is not directed at

you, providing the target of the attack is

roughly within 10 feet. You can only do

this once per round. And remember, be

the leaf.


23/33

22

DisarmTargets that are wielding weapons or

items in their hands can be disarmed. This

is done by making an attack test againstthe targets defence and if you succeed

instead of dealing damage the target

drops the item theyre holding.The target

loses any defence bonuses they received

for the weapon. A metal bender can do

this without a test and can optionally

choose to destroy the weapon providing it

is made of metal.

CaptureYou can attempt to restrain or imprison a

target or targets by making an attack

against the target(s). You roll your attack

test as normal against the target(s)s

defence(s), if the attack succeeds you do

not deal damage but the target becomes

restrained and cannot move. If you

choose to attempt to restrain more than

one target this could increase the rank,

this is also decided by the Gamemaster.

Note:Only Ice benders, Earth benders and

Metal benders and to an extent Water

benders realistically possess the ability to

capture targets within their element. All

other characters must use a net, bolas,

handcuffs etc. by using a non-fighting

style attack test.

HealProviding you have a bandages, herbswith healing properties or spiritual water

bending as an action you can restore a

small amount of chi points to a target you

can touch. You then make a Heal test.

1d6 + Item Bonus+ Way of Mind

The amount of Chi points restored is equal

to the result. A target can only regain chi

points by this method once and cannot do

so again until they have a full-rest.

Extra Actions

EscapeYou can attempt to escape when youve

been restrained. This is highly up to GM

discretion as there are various ways this

can be resolved. If you are simply being

held by a person then an opposed Vigour

test would seem most fitting but what if

you wanted to use your martial arts

training to flip the enemy over in a judo

throw or simply stamp your foot on theground and send a pillar of rock up from

beneath him to send him flying? What if

you wanted to destroy the metal cuffs

that bound you or melt the ice that

surrounded you? The circumstances are

almost limitless and so ask your GM what

to roll after explaining what it is you want

to do.

MovingCharacters in the Legend of Korra andAang series are constantly moving about

whether flipping through the air, sliding

past enemies or sprinting to engage their

target. You dont have to declare youre

using the move action every time your

character moves about the combat area

but instead the Move action is more for

when youre chasing an opponent or

fleeing combat. You can run up to yourspeed and you can break up your

movement between actions.

Withdraw/deposit/drop/useobjectHow many objects you can withdraw,

deposit, drop, use etc, is entirely up to GM

discretion. If you really wanted you could

dig through your bag and withdraw youre

favourite bison plushy and if the

Gamemaster is allowing you, you can even


24/33

23

withdraw your entire Team Avatar plushy

collection and arrange them neatly on the

battlefield with one extra action and then

make an attack when the nasty Equalist

steals one. Go team Avatar!

SpendSpiritPointsSpending spirit points, unlike most other

rules, are not up to GM discretion and can

be spent before making any type of dice

roll, so its time to show your GM whos

boss.

Advanced Rules

DamageIf you scored higher than your targets

defence test result with your attack test

result then you can deal damage.

When you deal damage you roll a damage

dice which is determined by the rank of

the attack you made. You always use the

same ranks damage dice as the rank of

the fighting rank bonus you used when

making the attack. For example, if you

made a novice attack and used yournovice fighting rank bonus then you will

use your novice rank damage dice.

Additionally you add your spirit element

and fighting rank bonus to the total

damage.

Bending Damage = Damage Dice + Way of

Spirit

Martial Damage: If you use a martialweapon, or an unarmed strike you add

your Way of Martial Arts to the damage

instead of the Way of Spirit.

Martial Damage = Damage Dice + Way of

Martial Arts

CriticalSuccess

On a Way test if you roll two sixes you

automatically succeed as you have scored

a critical success.

CriticalAttackOn an attack test if you double sixes then

you have scored a critical attack and

automatically hit. Additionally you can add

an extra damage dice. You only add

modifiers (such as your Spirit Element or

Fighting Rank Bonus) once.

CriticalDefenceOn a defence test if you roll two sixes you

automatically defend the next attack

regardless of the attack tests result and

gain edge on your next defence test.

Alternatively if the attack came from a

bender using a style you have a rank in

you can choose to reflect the attack rather

than gain edge on your next defence test.

If you reflect the attack, the attacker must

compare their own attack test result

against their defence. If they succeed, the

attack hits them and deals damage, whichthey have to roll. This rule also applies

when taking the defend action.

AverageRangeYour average range is the range youre

comfortable with making attacks at. You

can extend your average range by

increasing the rank of the test.

Special Forms of

Movement

Each bending style has a special form of

movement that can be used instead of a

move action. You must be Advanced rank

to use a special form of movement.


25/33

24

AirBendingAir benders can leap great heights and

distances by creating a powerful gust of

wind to propel them. Air benders can leap

30 feet high or 30 feet horizontally using

this technique. Please dont use this

technique to launch yourself into the air

like Meelo, fart bending is frowned upon.

EarthBendingEarth benders can surf along natural

surfaces such as rocky or grassy terrain.

This movement allows Earth benders to

double their land speed.

Earth benders can also catapultthemselves vertically by launching a

springboard made of rock from beneath.

This allows Earth benders to jump 20 feet

high and 20 feet horizontally.

FireBendingFire benders can propel themselves with

jets of fire from their hands and feet. Fire

benders can fly 30 feet high or glide 30

feet horizontally.

WaterBendingWater benders can walk, run and even

surf on water up to a speed of 80 feet.

Additionally water benders can bend

water into a wave and surf on it across

land. They can also create a water spout

to blast themselves vertically. Water

benders can jump 30 feet high or move 30

feet horizontal

Bending Element Sources

The nature of bending fighting styles is

that to use them, you need to summon

and control your element. So what

happens if there is no local source of your

bending element or little of it? Air and firebending have an unlimited source and can

be spontaneously summoned at most

times (if there is little air then fire cannot

be ignited and air in itself cannot be used

for combat). However, there are times

when there is no water or even no earth.

If an element cannot be summoned then

the character cannot use their bending

style in any form whether for transport,

construction or combat. If this occurs andthe bender wants to fight then they can

only engage in melee or armed combat

(see later for rules on melee and weapon

combat). You might say that earth is all

around and so earth benders, like air and

fire benders, cannot be without their

element, however, as seen in the Legend

of Aang, an earth bender must make

contact with the earth whether by

stamping on it with their feet or eventouching it with their hands. If for some

reason they cannot make physical contact

then they cannot use their bending

element. If an earth or water bender can

only access a small amount of their

element such as Kataras water gourd or

coal for earth bending then all attacks and

defences have faults. Water benders

negate this effect when there is a stream,

pool, river, well or pond nearby and if itsraining or if it has rained within the last

hour. Large containers of water count too.

WhatifIhavearankinamartialstyletoo?

Then you can switch to the rank bonuses

of that style when there is a limited or no

source of your bending element and thus

you will not receive the faults on tests.


26/33

25

AbundantSources

Sometimes your environment will provide

you with the advantage you need. Below

is an explanation on how environments

with abundant sources of your element

can assist you. There are no favourableconditions for fire or air bending.

WaterbendingWater benders are most dangerous when

they have access to an abundant source

whether it is a lake, large river, sea or

ocean, when a water bender is in or

surrounded by one of these sources they

gain edge on all attack and defence rolls.

EarthBendingThe worst place to fight an earth bender is

underground as youll never where the

attacks are coming from or when theyll

disappear into walls. Earth benders gain

edge on attack and defence tests when

underground providing they can

manipulate the earth.

Stealth&InfiltrationSneaking past someone undetected or

removing something from their pockets is

a martial arts element test contested by

the targets Spirit element. If the target is

not actively seeking you and is completely

unaware of your approach they receive a

fault on the Spirit test to detect you.

If you attack a target thatsunaware of

you, then they receive a fault on their

defence test.

CoverandConcealmentIf you have cover you receive edge on

your defence tests.

You are considered to have cover if at

least 50% of you is behind an object that is

durable enough to stop an incoming

attack. Some objects like stone walls will

prevent water bending attacks whilst an

earth bending attack may break through ifstrong enough, whilst a metal barred door

similar to a prison cell will prevent an

earth bending attack but not a water

bending attack. What attacks are

prevented is decided by the Gamemaster.

If you have concealment, attackers whotarget you will receive a fault on their

attack tests.

You are considered to be concealed if

youre well camouflaged or obscured from

view. Things like darkness, smoke or fog

and dense greenery can conceal you.

Edge Fault

An edge or fault is given to you by theGamemaster when youre in a positive or

negative circumstance that could affect

your ability to achieve. When you have an

edge you receive a bonus 1d6 to your roll

or you remove 1d6 when you have a fault.

If for some reason you have both an edge

and fault the dices cancel each other out

leaving you with your regular 2d6.

DoubleEdgeIf you have been awarded two edges you

do not gain an extra d6 as 3d6 is the

maximum number of dice that can be

rolled. Instead nudge all of the d6 results

rolled, by one. So if you rolled 3d6 with

double edge and got, 1, 5, 6. Youd nudge

them up to 2, 6, 6.

DoubleFault

If you have been penalized with two faults

you must nudge your dice result down by

one. So if you roll 5, youd nudge it to 4.

SpiritPoints

Spirit points are used to remove faults or

gain edge on tests and can also be used to

heal characters. You can spend 3 spirit

points to remove or gain a fault or edge.Spirit points are also used for when in the


27/33

26

spirit realm. Your Spirit points are

determined by your spirit element x3.

You can restore your spirit points by

having a full rest or by meditating.

Meditating

When you meditate you must state where

youre meditating such as on top of a

boulder you created with earth bending,

next to a loud stream teaming with life, on

the open underdeck of an airship or

simply on a blanket next to a friend.

You can meditate for one hour and

restore some spirit points relevant to yourspirit element. You roll a number of d6s

according to the table below.

Spirit1-2 3-4 5-61d6 2d6 3d6

You cannot gain more spirit points than

your total and you cannot gain anymore

spirit points by meditating until you have

a full rest. You can have a time-out after

meditating and vice versa.

Time-Out

When you have a time-out you must state

an activity your character is taking part in,

this can be anything relaxing or leisure-

able such as reading your favourite book,

cooking, eating a meal, writing a letter,

creating a haiku, fishing or planning your

combat tactics like Sokka.

You can rest for one hour and restore

some lost chi points by expending spirit

points. For every three spirit points you

spend, you can regain 1d6 chi points. You

cannot restore more than your maximum

chi points.

SpiritPoints

D6s

3 1d66 2d69 3d612 4d615 5d618 6d6

You may be wondering if you have tostate how many spirit points youre

spending before seeing the results. This is

also up to GM discretion so decide on a

house rule together.

Just like meditating you cannot regain chi

points through this method until you have

had a Full-rest. You can meditate after

having a Time-Out.

Full-Rest

A full rest is 6 hours of sleep; this

refreshes the mind, calms the soul and

heals the body. A character who takes a

full rest restores any lost spirit points and

chi points up to their natural maximum.

This does not heal the effects of poison,

serious injuries such as broken bones,

starvation or curses. You need to be


28/33

27

asleep during a full-rest so dontsneak off

and dress as the painted lady.

Currency

In the Legend of Aang and Korra universeeach nation has their own currencies,

these include the Northern & Southern

Water Tribes, the Earth Kingdom, the Fire

Nation and the United Republic. If youre

playing a Legend of Aang campaign then

ignore the rule for Yuan.

LegendofAangCampaignsIn the Legend of Aang the Fire Nation,

Earth Kingdom and Water Tribes had their

own currencies which were divided into

copper, silver and gold pieces.

The currencies were not interchangeable

and some merchants would not accept a

foreign nations currency. Legend of Aang

campaign coins were made of precious

metals and thus had intrinsic value

meaning a coin from one nation had the

same value as a coin from another.

10 copper coins are worth a silver coin, 10silver coins or 100 copper coins are worth

a gold coin. It is recommended that you

avoid tracking multiple currencies in order

to simplify the game but if youre

meticulous then go ahead.

LegendofKorraCampaignsIn the Legend of Korra a new currency was

introduced, the Yuan which is used by the

United Republic. This currency is more

advanced and uses both coins and printed

paper notes. It is not known if the other

nations have advanced their currencies

however, to simplify tracking money, you

can opt to use three currencies created

for this game.

The three currencies are the Fire Nation

Ryoku, the Water Nation Yuan and the

Earth Kingdom Yuan.

Each nation uses a coin to represent 1 unit

of their currencies and notes worth 10

units and notes worth 100 units.

The Yuan is not an optional currency in

Legend of Korra campaigns and must be

used in play, however, to simplify things, a

Gamemaster can choose to ignore the

rule of foreign currencies and create a

global Yuan used by the other three

nations.

Weapons

Weapons can only be used effectively by

weapon masters, if you do not have a rank

in the weapon master fighting style then

you do not gain the attack or defence

bonuses of the weapons, though you still

gain the damage dice.

DamageDiceThis bonus replaces the damage dice

provided by your fighting style rank when

using the weapon.

AttackBonusThis bonus replaces the attack bonus

provided by your fighting style rank when

using the weapon.

DefenceBonusThis bonus replaces the defence bonusprovided by your fighting style rank when

using the weapon.

Weapons are placed in four groups that

correspond to the weapon masters rank.

A weapon master gains fault on all tests

with any weapon that is of a rank above

their Weapons Master rank.

EQUIPMENT

Kyoshi Fan: 20 feet

DamagefromWeapons

In real life martial weapons are used to kill

the enemy however, in the world of

avatar weapons are used defensively to

block and deflect other weapon attacks or

even attacks of benders. On a hit a bladed

weapon usually deals blunt damage

through hitting the enemy with the bluntend or by the wielder striking the enemy

with their hands or feet. Of course if you

wish for a more explicit game bladed

weapons can cut targets. Damage from

weapons do not add the Way of Spirit

instead they apply the Way of Martial Arts

to both attack tests and damage results.

Dual-Wielding

You can only dual-wield weapons that area rank below your own rank and are not

two-handed. So novice ranked characters

cannot dual wield nor can any master rank

weapons be dual wielded.

When you dual-wield you can make a

second attack against the same opponent

or another within range however, on the

second attack you do not apply the attack

rank bonus and you can only apply the

defence rank bonus of one weapon ofyour choice. Kunais and Kyoshi warrior

fans can be duel wielded to make two

ranged attacks or two melee attacks or

one of each.

Weaponsandbending

You can wield a weapon to alter yourbending techniques similar to Zuko with

his swords however, whilst wielding a

weapon you cannot perform techniques

of your fighting style rank. Instead you can

only perform techniques of a lower rank

than yours and use the damage dice of

the weapon. For example if youre an

advanced rank bender and an advanced

ranked Weapons Master and you use a

weapon then youll only be able to usenovice and apprentice rank bending

techniques but you apply the damage dice

of the weapon and add your Way of Spirit

to the damage result.

Weapon DESCRIPTIONS

Boomerang

This peculiar curved

single edgedweapon was created

by the Southern

Water Tribes. It can

be made from wood

or metal and has a

unique feature. When thrown it can

ignore the bonuses (GMs discretion) of

cover as the boomerangs flight path is a

curve. Unlike other thrown weapons the

boomerang always comes back, well mostof the time.

Daikyubow(Two-Handed)This longbow was originally created in the

Fire Nation and is primarily used for long

range warfare.DaoThis curved sword has one edge and is

used for slashing. It was created in the

Earth Kingdom and is widely used by theEarth Kingdom military. Some swordsmen


30/33

29

decorate these swords by placing tassels

or flags on the pummel or metal rings

through the blade. There is a Water

Nation equivalent that can be used as a

blade or club.

GUANDAO(Two-Handed)This pole-arm has a curved single edged

blade attached to the end. It can be

decorated with tassels and flags attached

to the pummel or on the blade. This

weapon was created in the Earth Kingdom

though a Fire Nation equivalent called the

Naginata exists.Hankyu-bow(Two-Handed)

This short bow was originally created inthe Fire Nation and is used for a variety of

situations from hunting to horseback

cavalry.Hooksword

This strange looking weapon was created

in the Earth Kingdom and has many

names such as Tigerhead, or Tiger Blade.

Due to the hooked end of this weapon it is

exceptionally good at disarming targets

and provides edge on disarm actions.

Katana(Two-handed)

This large single edged sword was createdin the Fire Nation and is the favoured

weapon of many a great swordsman.

KunaiknifeThis small double edged knife was created

in the Fire Nation and is the favoured

weapon of assassins. It is easy to conceal

and can be both used in melee combat

and for ranged attacks.

Kyoshiwarriorfan

This deceptive weapon was created in the

Earth Kingdom on the Kyoshi Isles. It may

look like a regular fan though it is crafted

from metal and can be used to deflect

attacks or to deliver a swift blunt strike. It

can also be folded and then tossed as a

ranged weapon. Only characters with the

Kyoshi Warrior Training skill can wield this

weapon without gaining a fault on tests

with it. Regular paper versions of this

weapon can be used though the damage

is reduced to 1d6.

NunchakuThis weapon usually consists of two pieces

of wood or metal connected together witha chain. It was created in the Earth

Kingdom and requires great dexterity.

QiangspearCreated in the Earth Kingdom this spear is

the standard issue weapon for most

soldiers. It can be decorated with tassels

and flags attached to the base of the

pointed tip. A Fire Kingdom equivalent

exists named the Yari and is also found in

the hands of many Fire Kingdom soldiers.

Similarly there is also a Water Nation

equivalent that uses sharpened fish bones

or animal teeth as the tip.

TonfaThis simple weapon made or wood or

metal was created in the Earth Kingdom

and has great defensive capabilities.

Armour

Armour can be purchased and equipped

or created by bending techniques. When

you wear armour you half the damage

taken for each attack rounded down. Due

to the weight you gain fault on all defence

tests when wearing armour.

CREDITSANDFUTUREPLANS

Thank you for playtesting the project, if you have any feedback thenplease send it [email protected] or feel free to visit the Facebook

page. Similarly if you wish to appear in the credits for any further editions

then please attach your name your feedback.

There are many things still missing from the project and this why it is still

in BETA form. I intend to create new character sheets as the Alpha ones

are no longer serviceable. I also will be working on special items, such as
