These are the Gem Tactics rules.
Objective: kill enemy leader.
Be sure not to lose your own!

Print/cut the classes.
Players take turns choosing 4 classes.
There are choosing variants.

Apply 2 to your leader.
That badass knows how to dual-class.
Pencil down his (or her?!) stats.

With your other two classes,
Each become a single character.
When your leader dies, they flee.

Choose 1 skill from each class card.
Your leader has one skill from each class.
A/P mean active/passive.

Start the game with {16} gold.
Check out the store and buy some items!
Freely swap your party's gear.

COMBAT FIGHTING TACTICS GO
If your party has more combined speed,
you're the first to take a turn.

Move equal to your move, duh.
After moving, you have an ACTION!
Actions are things like...

- Wait
- Attack (with equipped weapon)
- Change equipment
- Give item(s) to ally (range 1)
- Use potion on self or ally (range 1)
- Loot a corpse (range 1)
- Sell (for half price) or buy items at a shop (gold is shared; items aren't)
- Use a (A) skill

Your face direction matters!
Each speed point gives you 10% dodge.
You can't dodge side/back attacks.

Shields defend your front and sides.
Shields stack with other resistances.
They require a free hand...!

Kill a d00d, learn a new skill.
If you slap on armor mid battle,
your current HP won't rise.

'A' skills consume an action.
If an ability has no range,
that implies it has range 1.

If someone gets stunned,
they can't be stunned for 2 turns.
Stun would be too good.

If you want a squad of 4,
I suggest you start with 16 gold.
Players pick 5 classes each.

If these rules are confusing,
You can ask me questions in this thread.
I'll try to explain my ways.

I did not make the class art.
It's all from Valkyrie Profile.
I'm working on new art now.
