The core mechanic is the same: To make a skill roll, you simply grab a number of dice for your attribute score, skill level and gear, and roll them all together. You need at least one six to succeed, and extra sixes can give crits and other bonus effects. | |||
The twist to this simple base is not pushing rolls as in Mutant: Year Zero, but something different that ties in directly to the theme of Coriolis: prayer to the Icons. The Icons and the worship of them are central to the game setting. Praying to an Icon will give you a reroll - but not without cost. Each reroll also gives the GM a Darkness Point, which she can use for a range of adverse effects later on in the session. Sooner or later, the Icons will claim whats theirs and restore balance in the dark between the stars. | |||

May want to add a mini-game for the druid, allowing them to "find balance":

Druid Example Build
(Probably not actually a legal build; needs reviewed; keeping it here in case we get around to building a viable sample build later, so we can steal ideas from this one)
Spell-Flinging Naturalist
Human, base stats: Str 14, Dex 14, Con 14, int 8, Wis 18, Chr 14.
Example Feats
1st Level: Dodge, Still Spell. These are always useful. Always.
3rd Level: Spell penetration. Because caster level checks are HARD.
5th Level: Natural Spell. Dude. This is WHY you play a Druid.
7th Level: Wild Speech. Because talking bears are AWESOME.
9th Level: Spell focus. Let's see them make THIS saving throw.
11th Level: Selective Spell. This means a lot less apologizing after the Firestorm goes off.
13th Level: Maximize Spell. heh heh he ha ha HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!
15th Level: Greater Spell Penetration. Punch it through, baby.
17th Level: Greater Spell Focus. Even harder saves.
19th Level: Spell Perfection. What? Double the effects of four feats on my favorite kill-o-zap spell? YES, PLEASE.
