Rat Stats

Attributes
----------Rats begin with a one (1) in each of four attributes.Zoomies: Moving quickly, whether it's leaping, climbing, running or swimming. (Speed)Gumption: Ability to react to obstacles on the course. (Dexterity)Rotundity: Remain steadfast in course adversity thanks to their generous roundness. (Constitution)Guts : Staying power of the rat to commit to its goal. (Stamina)After each sanctioned race, a Rat will gain one (1) Attribute Point, up to a total of four (4) additional Attribute Points. A Rat may never have added to its stat values more than the four (4) additional Attribute Points. Where these points are allocated do not change, unless the Rat is reskilled, and it is up to the Rat's owner where these Attribute Points are added.Be sure to tell your Race Host where you want the Attribute Points allocated at the end of the sanctioned race.Plus Values
----------After the race, the sanctioned Rat will have its "Plus values" updated to notate how many additional Attribute Points it has gained during its tenure as a racer. A Base Attribute rat will become Rat +1. A Rat +1 will become a Rat +2. A Rat +2 will become a Rat +3. A Rat +3 will become a Champion Rat. (+4)Reskilling Your Rat
-------------------To re-skill a Rat, the racer must feed the Rat CHEESE.CHEESE will reset the Rat's Attributes to the Base Values. It will not allow for the re-allocation of Attribute Points. The Rat, regardless of its Plus Value ( +1; +2; +3; +4) will be reset to a Base Attribute Rat with a 1 in each Attribute.Participate in sanctioned races in order to gain Attribute Points to re-skill the Rat.

Race Types

Rats will race with other rats who have similar Plus Values. Types of races are as follows:Beginner's Cup Races.
Rats with Base Attributes and Rats with +1 Plus Value.Intermediate Cup Races.
Rats with +2 to +3 Plus Values.Champion's Cup Races.
Rats with +4 Plus Value only.This is done in the interest of fairness, and to keep Rats with similar skill levels together.Unsanctioned Rat Races can occur with rats of any skill level.
Unsanctioned Rat Races do not allocate Attribute Points.

Turn Order
----------At the start of the race, each Rat will have a d20 rolled. For each Rat, add its Zoomies bonus ( Up to +4 ) to the roll. This will determine the turn order.In the case of a tie in the initiative roll with Zoomies bonus between two rats, add each Rat's Guts bonus ( Up to +4 ) to the roll. The higher of the two will go first. If this ties as well, SUBTRACT each Rat's Rotundity bonus ( Up to -4) from the roll. The higher number will go first.Advancing
---------Each Rat advances, in fulms, by d20 roll. A rat will have its Zoomies bonus added to its roll (Up to +4) for as many turns as it has Guts bonus. (Up to 4 turns.)[Example. A Rat has a +4 in Zoomies and a +2 in Guts. This Rat will get +4 to its Advancing rolls for 2 turns.]Each rat has a pause on advance and a skill check when they reach an advance of 50; 70 and 95. In practice, this means each rat has a hard stop at 50; 70 and 95 before they may continue their advance unfettered. This repeats two more times. See the obstacles section below.[Example. The earlier mentioned Rat rolled two 20s and had +4 to each roll. It is at 48 fulms. An obstacle is at 50 fulms. The next roll for this Rat is another 20. The Rat, however, meets the obstacle at 50. The rat only gains the +2 fulms of distance from the 20 roll. The rat must pass the skill check of the obstacle to continue with a new roll.]Obstacles
---------
The race host will roll a d4 three times. This determines the obstacles for the race. Each obstable is a skill check for the rat, that prohibits the rat from advancing. If the rat fails the skill check, it does not advance this turn, and instead does silly rat things on the course. After TWO turns where a Rat does not advance due to a failed skill check, the Rat's Guts Bonus will be added to the roll. In the case of a Guts check, this value will be added a second time. On a THIRD turn where the rat fails this check, the Guts Bonus will be MULTIPLIED by the Gumption bonus and added to the roll.Obstacles are located at the following sections of the race: 50 fulms; 70 fulms; 95 fulms. The finish line is at 120 fulms.1: Water Section. Rats must roll above a 12 to advance past the water section. Add the Rat's Zoomies bonus to the roll (Up to +4).
2: Rocky Terrain. Rats must roll above a 14 to advance past the rocky terrain. Add the Rat's Gumption bonus to the roll (Up to +4).
3: Slicked Terrain. Rats must roll above a 16 to advance past the slick terrain. Add the Rat's Rotundity bonus to the roll (Up to +4).
4: Cheese trapped Terrain. Rats must resist the temptation of cheese and roll above a 15. Add the Rat's Guts bonus to the roll (Up to +4).
