Pokemon Tabletop United

In Pokemon Tabletop United, players create Trainers with teams of Pokémon to go on adventures with. Each character has a selection of skills and abilities to help overcome challenges. There are 17 skills in three categories: Mind, Body, and Spirit. Characters roll a number of six-sided dice depending on how trained they are in the use of a given skill, usually from 1 to 6 dice, against a difficulty set by the GM or an opposed roll.

In Pokémon battles, both Pokémon and Trainer characters have access to special moves and abilities to help them win. Attacks typically require a high enough roll on a twenty-sided die based on the individual move's accuracy and the target's evasion ability, triggering critical hits and bonus effects on particularly high rolls. In combat, characters get a standard action, a swift action, a shift (or movement) action, and free actions. Priority and interrupt actions allow characters to disrupt the turn order, and extended actions can only be done outside of combat, over a longer period of time. Damage can cause long-lasting injuries that require healing with time or at a Pokémon Center.

Some abilities require Action Points, a resource characters have to use their most powerful abilities, which usually recharge each scene. Especially powerful abilities may "bind" your action point until you stop the effect, or drain your action point for the day.

Trainers and their Pokémon can also benefit from equipment and held items, as well as purchase Poké Balls to capture new additions to their team. As Pokémon and Trainers participate in battles, they gain experience, level up, learn new abilities, and evolve!
