RP in Offtopic is kinda... chaotic, and that's totally fine. But I think it would be cool if we had one battle system to spread across all the rp's (of course you wouldn't have to use it if you didn't want to). You could even carry weapons and such you've earned over to other rp's. Would anybody be interested?

The only way this would work is if the DM in question helped build the characters to begin with. The thing is, with a free RP system, abilities can vary wildly. Just stop for a minute to imagine all the buffs & debuffs that would have to be made. Some, like burn, would be universal, but then someone would chime in with “see, my weapon here is unique, and it....”. I think the closest we can do is this; A. Aside from the DM, nobody can say how their moves affected the target B. Every comment is one “turn”. What that means depends on the DM, but a reliable guess is one move, one action. Other than that, though, things are just way too varied.
