C01 . Introduction
Welcome to Puella Magi d20
First thing on many peoples mind might be the word 'Why?' What is the purpose of this system
that the current favorite Magical Burst cannot be used? Magical Burst is a great system to use
for casual and text based games, but it severely falls short when it comes to mimicking the
Puella Magi universe and making use of a tabletop and figures. The primary difference with this
system is that while Magical Burst borrows from more narrative focused games such as the
World series, this system borrows more heavily on systems such as D&D. Pathfinders, Tephra,
etc. for a more combat enhanced experience.
Magical Burst can be a great system though so don't think of this as being better or worse than
it, or even competition. Instead this system exists to explore different avenues and ways of
gameplay, and to be very simple to create and have a character ready to play within only 1 0-20
minutes. As with Magical Burst, the game is focused around Magical Girls, but Magi of either
gender are perfectly acceptable! Call yourself a Magi, Magical Knight, Magical Boy, Puer Magus,
your pick. Keep in mind this game does center around middle school and early high school
characters though! Game Masters (GM's) feel free to be flexible though and implement older
characters and adjust the settings.
Leveling may seem pretty quick early on until Level 5, where players will begin to see that
leveling begins to take a lot longer than 1 -2 games. This might become a issue though to those
who want to play massive sessions, 5 hours and beyond. This game was tested in sessions
lasting between 2 to 3 hours, so it's suggested you set breaks around that time for XP to be
calculated and levels added.
As with any tabletop game that makes use of a tabletop, this system is not for those who want
text based RP sessions. This system was made in mind to adhere to voice communications and
a tabletop to illustrate movement.
Hopefully people will find this system enjoyable, and any complaints or questions can be
forwarded my way by e-mail at 1 4thlord@gmail.com

Attribute
System
Creating a character can be made via a 5d6

roll system, or 20 points allocated between the

Attributes. No attribute can be over 6, or under
1 upon Attribute Allocation in character
creation.
When using 5d6 it's possible to be very lucky,
or very unlucky. If your total roll is under 20,
add the difference as long as no attribute goes
beyond 6. If you roll over 25, subtract until it's
25. No attribute can be less than 1 .

After placing the Primary Attributes, calculate

how this effects your Secondary Attributes.

Primary Attributes
Dexterity (Dex)

The agility and ability to make quick

maneuvers, whether in the heat of combat or
simple reflex and the Magi's ability to evade
harm. In combat this is how accurate their
strikes are, and their ability to evade harm.

Endurance (End)

The Endurance value is how much abuse a

Magi is capable of taking. In combat this is
how much damage a Magi can simply shrug
off and how hard they can hit.

Allure (Alu)

The Allure of a Magi is how they can convince

others to do things they would normally not do,
or even never do. In combat this can be used
to force targets to focus or even attack them.

Technique (Tec)

While Dexterity is natural quick acrobatic

maneuvers, Technique is a Magi's intelligence,
quick thinking, style and finesse. In
combat this is directly related to how
many Powers you have.

Hope // Hatred (Hop / Hat)

Consider this the morale of the character

and their Hope. This is directly related to
how much Magic a Magi has. When given into
despair, Hope will turn into Hatred.

Secondary Attributes
Stamina Points (SP)

Endurance * Dexterity
Stamina is a abstract figure to represent how
much damage a Magi can take, or how much
they're capable of evading strikes. Outside of
the Magi's armor, their Stamina is only 1 .
Once Stamina reaches Zero, the Magi is
considered to be in too much physical

10

pain or exhaustion to move, and must use

their Powers to mend their body. Any damage
taken past Zero Stamina, goes into their Magic
Points.

Magic Points (MP)

(Hope * 1 0) + Endurance
The Magi's Magical Power. If they have no
Stamina, any damage taken goes to this. This
is used for casting all the Magi's powers as
well. The only way to regenerate MP is by
using a charge of a Grief Seed.
WARNING: If a Magi's MP is brought to Zero,
they will DIE. They may make last words.

Action Points (AP)

Magi normally have 3AP per turn. Simple

actions use 1 AP, complicated use 2AP, etc.

Magic Powers and Spells

Magic is the route of all Magi. There's a list of

Standard Powers Magi start with and Powers
gained based by the Magi's wish (Primary),
with Secondary effecting the Magi's play style.

Attacking and Ratings

Attribute System

beginning of battle roll 1 d6+Dex to ascertain

your order, first person going soonest.
Alternatively, Witches and familiars will only
attack in response, and those in the greatest
peril go first. Read the Combat section for
more.

Allure Expanded

Allure can be used as a Minor Action (1 AP) as

a ability to attract attention. Use a Opposing
Check to determine whether they're
captivated. Mindless creatures will attack once
they've been captivated, but humans and
other Magi may choose to ignore. If do, there's
a negative result for them (At the GM's
choice), or in combat they lose all their Dex
bonus and a minor action until the end of their
next turn.

Attributes Expanded

To get a better idea of what a attribute means,

think of it like this. 1 is standard weak human,
2 represents a average adult, and 3 is equal to
that of a skilled or professional adult. Example:
3 Endurance represents a body builder.

Using a weapon to attack usually costs 2AP to

do so. In order to tell if a player hits and how
difficult it is, several different Stats must be
combined along with the roll of 1 d20.

Attack Rating (AR)

d20 + Dexterity + Technique

Touch rating (TR)

d20 + Allure + Technique

Evasion Rating (ER)

C04. Additional Rules

Wishing to be a Magi

Soul Gems are gems that lay in the palm

wrapped by a golden case. This can turned to
a gem and worn anywhere on the Magi or
become a simple ring when out of their attire.
This must always be visible and within 1 00ft of
the Magi for them to use their Magic. When it's
over 1 00ft the Magi is rendered comatose and
appears dead until the Soul Gem is returned.

The campaign should start with becoming a

Magi as either the climax of the first session,
but everyone should decide what kind of wish
their characters would make and told to the
GM, and why the character would make that
Wish, and for the GM to work with them on
what Primary Power they'd get. Its up to the
GM then to intemperate the wording of the
Wish, and tell them the immediate effects. This

should be written down and important for the

rest of the game.
regenerate their Magic Points. Using a Grief
seed is considered a Major Action and costs
Once a contract is made, the Incubator will rip 2AP. When restoring magic, a Grief Seed is
held very close to a Soul Gem and the
the Magi's soul from their chest, creating a
gem with the Magi's Color. The default form of darkness is drained from it, causing it to glow
brightly. This drains 1 charge from the Grief
Seed and is NOT consuming it.

Earning Grief Seeds

Soul Gem

When Grief Seeds are consumed, mark off

on the character sheet inventory as
Consumed Grief Seeds X replacing
X with how many charges remain.

Hope and Despair

Magi uses their Hope to tell how

long they can continue to fight.
Besides hope is a slot for
Despair. Whenever something
scars the Magi, they gain a
additional point in despair. When the
Despair value is greater than Hope,
the Magi will collapse and become
a Witch, their hope turning to
Hatred. Once gained, the only
way to get rid of Despair is to
resolve what gave them
despair to begin with.
In order to gain Despair,
after a traumatic event
occurs, ask players
if they believe their
character would
begin to feel despair

12

over the encounter. If they say yes, tell them to

add a point into their despair. Alternatively, roll
their Hope Attribute as a difficult check to
pass. See Difficulty Rating for Difficult Tasks to
evade earning despair.

Karmic Destiny

There's two things that makes a Magi

powerful, their Hope, and their Karmic Destiny.
While Hope may drop and is a figure a
character can visualize, Karmic Destiny is not.
It's a abstract figure for the GM to decide
based upon the Magi's power, wish, etc.
Pick the Magi with the highest Karmic Destiny.
This can be after the first session and change
if it makes sense. Upon death, the Magi is
reborn as a Witch and gains +2 Levels.

Gaining Levels

Each Magi starts at level 1 (Or technically

they're considered level 0 before becoming a
Magi). For each additional level they gain after
becoming a Magi, they gain perks. Most Magi
should only expect ever to get around level 5,
and almost never reach Level 1 0.

Additional Gains for Levels

Additional Rules
Gaining Experience
Magi gain experience by consuming Grief
Seeds. When using Grief Seeds in this way,
they must FULLY consume a Grief Seed and
cannot save a charge, or split it between
players. Magi Push the Grief Seed into their
Soul gem, causing it to sink and disappear
inside, consuming it.
A second way to gain experience is by
completing Connection Checks. Each player
should only receive 1 XP this way per game
session.
A third and final way of earning XP is through
Alignment. Each game you can make a
alignment check, which will earn you a
Alignment Check Point, and 1 XP.

Opposing Checks

Both parties roll 1 d20+Matching Attribute.

Alternatively the defender of a action can use
+1 0 to their attribute instead of rolling for a
1 d20. This should be done to simplify and
speed the game play up.

Difficulty Checks

Level 2/4/6/8/1 0 Magi gain a additional

PC is skilled enough to do certain things, like
pick a lock, how good their leap is and how

Days End and Sleeping

Magi are human and need their sleep,

anywhere between 6 to 1 0 hours each night.
There are many rulings as well that's listed
as until days end. The end of the day is
considered when a Magi decides to
sleep and call it a night.
Once awake for 20 hours straight,
Magi are considered Exhausted. (Read
more in Combat). Starting then, Magi
will have to roll their endurance check
every 5 hours at increasing Difficulty
Rating. Otherwise they fall asleep for

C05. Combat System

Initiative

Turn order is considered Initiative. Each

players initiative bonus is equal to their Dex.
Roll 1 d6+Dex. Those with equal Dex can
choose who goes first or roll opposing Dex
checks. Alternatively, the person in the
greatest peril may have first priority.

Surprise Round

When a target isn't expecting to be attacked, a

surprise round is created. Allies do not get to
act during a surprise round unless they were
expecting it to occur.

Rounds and Turns

Everything a Magi does in combat resolves in

turns. A Round of combat is considered to be
roughly 6 seconds, and is considered to be the
accumulation of everyones turns, both sides of
combat. This Round includes all the Magi and
the Witches Turns. Each Magi usually receives
3 Action Points (AP) at the beginning of each
turn to resolve combat through.
Action Points are usually unchanging, but may
increase via Powers or Leveling Up.
Unused Action Points can NOT be saved for
your next turn, and are discarded.

Full Action: All AP

These are actions that take the entire turn for

a Magi to resolve. This means they cannot
spend any AP during their turn before using a
ability that requires a Full Action.

Major Action: 2 AP

Attacking is considered a Major Action.

Major Actions are general maneuvers that
require high amounts of concentration or
preparation to do.

Minor Action: 1 AP

Quickly pulling something out of your

receive, creating a magic item, and anything
that can be done swiftly within a couple
seconds are considered minor actions.

Free Action: 0AP

If it doesn't require a seconds notice to do, it's

a free action. Such examples is dropping a
item, blinking, etc. Speaking is a free action
but only for 6 seconds per turn.

16

Delaying Actions

Sometimes a player may wish to ready a

attack and hold off until in response to
anothers movement and action. If they do so,
their strike will resolve right after the action
resolves. Attacks will go off after the target
attacks, should they choose to.

Combat Maneuvers

Combat Maneuvers such as tripping can be

done using either Attack Rating OR Touch
Rating, and must pass the Evasion Rating. If
grappling a foe, they can choose to attempt to
break free as a Major Action on their turn., and
this time roll for their Evasion Rating rather
than using the standard value of +1 0.

Grapple Checks

To resolve a Grapple Check, you basically are

resolving a Opposing Dexterity Check.
Attempting to break free costs a 1 AP if it
succeeds, or Full AP if it fails. Grappled targets
lose Dexterity in Evasion.
Assisting someone break a grapple costs 2AP.
Add both parties Dex to the check.

Reflex Rating

Sometimes a Magi's Reflex comes into play,

this is their Evasion Rating except with a d20
roll instead of a flat 1 0 value.

Movement

Magi can move at rates of 1 0ft per Minor

Action (1 AP). This normally translates to 30ft
for a turn dedicated to movement. In this
movement, Magi can both leap extrodanary
height and drop swiftly to lower locations.

Climbing, Leaping, Falling

Magi's are able to leap vast distance equal to

their maximum movement they can make in a
minor action. Magi can just as well climb such
distances, but must make a minor action to
pulll themselves up. Magi fall at 30ft per turn
and do not take any fall damage no matter the

Combat System

distance. Magi cannot jump / stop mid air.

They can stop mid climb if there's something
to grab onto by their turns end.

Full & Partial Cover

Magi cannot attack from Full Cover or be

attacked from it. If the Magi has Partial Cover,
they receive +2 to their Evasion Rating.

Dealing Damage

When calculating damage, use Endurance if

physical, or Dexterity if ranged. Endurance in
this case represents how hard the user can hit
without harm and pain to oneself. See the
Weapons Section for the various types of
weapons and how much damage each one of
them does.

Critical Success

Rolling a 20 or clearing by 11 + are considered

critical successes. See the Victory Checks
table (In Additional Rules) for more information
on this.

Called Shots & Locations

Upon critical against a magi, roll 1 d6 to

determine its location. Each location has its
own various effects.
1 : Torso
2: Left Leg
3: Right Leg
4: Left Arm
5: Right Arm
6: Head Shot

Critical Failure

Rolling a 1 is the main way to score a critical

failure. In turn, failing 21 + is also a Crit Failure.
See the Failure Checks table for more
information.

Called Location

There are 6 called locations, the head, torso,

and each limb. If a limb takes 1 0 Stamina
damage, it's immobilized. Calling a location
reduces AR / TR by -2.
Once the limb is damaged, the Magi must
Mend Self, otherwise face the consequences.

17

Even after mending, they're left with a

temporary scar until they mend the scars
specifically, which does not effect Stamina.
Mending scars does not incite Despair in itself,
and only if the Magi is at a bad psychological
state doing so.

Bodily Damage

Once a body part is damaged, the Magi must

have their Stamina fully restored or they're
crippled. Even after Mending, it seriously
distresses the Magi until they spend a Mend
on healing the remaining scar.

Called Shot Location Effects

Head

Damage to the head is disorienting. While

damaged, they lose all dexterity to Attack and
Evasion Rating.

Arms

Loses the ability to move the arm and use it in

combat. Two Handed weapons are unusable.
This includes ranged if it uses 2 hands
.

Combat System
Types of Magic
At Will:

Must be actively used to do. Basic Attacks are

considered to be At Will.

Passive:

Spells and traits that are always active from

here on, unless the Magi chooses to end or
start it again at another point.

Reactive:

There are powers that are labelled reactive.

These powers must be used in reaction to an
event.
For a full action, At Will spells can be turned a
power into a reactive one, for when a decided
condition is met. Reactive will take place either
BEFORE or AFTER the condition is met, but
this must be chosen! This will occur even if the
Magi is killed as result of the condition and it
will be assumed that the events go off at the
same time.

Legs

Attacking Humans

Torso

Disability Effects

With a Magi's leg damaged, their AP is

reduced by 1 , maximum 2. The Magi can still
walk but with a limp.
Hitting the Torso only does double damage,
otherwise no additional effect.

Attacking Objects

Need to destroy a item, door, or something the

sorts? Easy. Most standard items, weapons or
sword, have 1 0 Stamina. Hard objects like
weapons or doors only take 1 Stamina
damage per hit unless they're instantly
destroyed. Near impervious items like a steel
safe can have up to 1 00 Stamina. Near
Impervious objects, roll 1 d20 simply to see if
the Magi critically fumbles (Natural 1 ) each
strike, when their weapon is destroyed, but
can simply be recreated by Magic Forming.

Magi should almost never attack a human!

Such actions will cause Magi to earn Despair
should they permanently cripple or even kill
one.

Blinded : Unable to see. Attack Rating halved,

Disorientation : Magi disoriented and loses all

Dexterity to AR and ER.

Stunned : Cannot do anything their next turn.

Lasts until listed, otherwise just one turn.

Crippled : Unable to use a hand. Any weapons

that requires 2 hands are unusable.

Limping : Lose 1 AP. Can stack up to twice.

Exhausted : When Exhausted, -1 AP.

Magic
System
Magi cannot simply cast any powers outside of
Magical Garments. Only powers listed at the
beginning "Can be cast outside Magical
Garments" can do so.

Puella Magi's magic stems from their wish,

making their powers reflect that and their
general personality. With a wide extensive list
of possible spells, there's almost limitless
possibilities for powers a Magi may have.
Spells uses Magic Power equal to its Magic
Level. Magi can dispel their powers at will.

Secondary Powers

These are special powers unique to Magi that

exist to potentially change Magi's playstyle.

General Powers

These are powers that all Magis can learn.

Magi's have General Powers equal to half their

Standard Powers
Powers that all Magis have.

Primary Powers

Primary Power is the magic that directly links

to the Magis weapon and
personality.

Range

Range is how far a Magical Ability can be

created from the Magi. Self indicates only
herself, every 5 feet indicates 1 tile, adjacent
indicates it must be right next to her. Most
ranged attacks are only up to 20ft.
There's also attacked that uses Touch.
Unless it has range, Touch requires
physical touch with the target, and uses the
Allure + Technique trait to hit. This is used
against the targets Evasion Rating.
Why can a bow or musket shot go only 20ft?
Magi aren't skilled fighters. They're middle and
early High School students who usually aren't
in the best of physical states, nor are very
skilled with aiming weapons such distances. In
addition, the projectiles from Magi's weapons
are made of magic and lose its ability to
damage after a certain distance.

Weapons
As long as they have a home, Magi should

have no problem buying clothing, food, and

having pocket change. Equipment are usually
created by them to do battle.
Primary equipment a Magi would have is their
weapons. These weapons can have a wide
variety of appearances, but thanks to the
Magi's powers it will deal damage suiting to a
certain standard.
An example of ranged weapons can be the
trademark bow, perhaps a musket, or even a
trumpet through magical sound waves. These
all do the same damage based on the Magis
powers.
Unarmed Attacks can be anything, whether it's
a kick, punch, or even a hungry bite. They're
unique in they can use any attribute for
damage calculation.
