VtM's Humanity as just another damage tracker. You start with 10 empty boxes, and mark off Superficial slash or Aggravated cross damage for violating personal Convictions or chronicle Tenets. Superficial Humanity damage can be recovered by behaving humanely, restoring your awareness of mortality through acts of kindness or Touchstone time. Aggravated Humanity damage cannot be healed, ever.

Is this anything?

A rules comic for my TTRPG The Magical Land of Yeld. Soul Thieves are VERY stabby, and if you play them right they can solo a whole fight. Get it from the Yeld Store, Tabletop Bookshelf, IPR, itch.io or DrivethruRPG.

This is a brief primer for how the DHGW will operate.

Each team will be granted 3 Command Spells that can perform actions such as healing, power boosts, or unlocking a Servant's Noble Phantasm. If a team is defeated, the team responsible for that victory will gain the defeated team's Command Spells.

In terms of actual gameplay, each squad will be given a series of options (similar to the ones seen here) of who to attack, and one option to play defensively. Fights can either be one-on-one, or act as a Free-for-All between three Servants. This is where this Grail War becomes more than a 'popularity contest', however.

Each Servant class has unique traits, and each Servant has unique skills that will augment the final poll numbers. Close calls may flip in one direction or another due to this, so careful thought about who to engage and when is crucial, as well as making sure that your victories are definitive! When it comes to a tough fight, rally the troops to supply your Servant with mana (i.e., votes)!

There are three phases. The decision phase, the combat phase, and the preparatory phase. The decision phase is where you decide whether to attack or 'Play Defensively', the combat phase is where your Servants will do battle, and the preparatory phase will decide what you do before the next round begins.

If you choose to 'Play Defensively' during your decision phase, then you will be given more options that may give you boosts for later fights, a chance for recovery, and so on. However, if you are attacked while 'Playing Defensively', then you will be ambushed- and therefore not gain any bonuses for the round, having to hope that as Masters you can support your Servant enough to help them pull through!

When engaged in a Free-for-All, the Servant that falls within last place takes the damage, and the Servant in 2nd takes a -2% penalty for their ongoing round.

The Command Spells used by Noble Phantasms will be returned if the Servant triggering it does not engage in combat.

When two Noble Phantasms are active in a Free-for-All, the Servant in last place takes the damage of both, but the demerits of both.

Under the cut will be your six Class Traits.

The Six Classes:

RULER-CLASS Servants are keen-minded and level-headed. When they engage in a 'Free-for-All' battle, they gain a consistent +3% boost, that cannot be taken away by other skills or Noble Phantasms. If engaged while 'Playing Defensively', they are not caught off guard and can battle normally.

AVENGER-CLASS Servants are vengeful by nature. The first time they are defeated by a Servant, they gain an automatic +2% bonus against that specific Servant, without needing to study them (but can in order to increase the bonus). They gain a permanent +3% bonus per wound they attain that can only be reduced if the wound is recovered.

PRETENDER-CLASS Servants possess an inherent trickster nature. If they fall in last place during a Free-for-All, if there is a gap of 3% within their final score and that of the Servant in 2nd place, they can evade taking a wound. Additionally, if they're victorious against other Servants, other teams cannot attempt to study the Pretender in order to gain a percentage bonus against them.

FOREIGNER-CLASS Servants take advantage of the chaos around them. When engaged in a Free-for-All (while not Playing Defensively), all other participants are given a -3% demerit. If attacked while 'Playing Defensively'', their attacker takes a -2% penalty.

MOONCANCER-CLASS Servants are experts in manipulating the world and environment to take advantage. They cannot be targeted while 'Playing Defensively'. Additionally, when engaged in a Free-for-All, they gain a +3% boost, and if they score 2nd place and there's at least a 3% difference in their score and 1st place, they may avoid damage.

ALTEREGO-CLASS Servants fight at their best when given a specific target. When engaged in a standard one-on-one confrontation, they gain a +3% boost. If attacking a Servant 'Playing Defensively', they gain a +4% boost instead.
