powered by the apocalypse, it’s basically a name for a broad class of TTRPGs (compare ‘d20 system’ for games like D&D, Pathfinder, etc.)

PBTA games tend to run more on ~vibes/what makes logical sense and less on having Strict Rules For Every Possible Situation

i forgot how much you can take before you’re down for the count but fatigue is basically hp and 6 fatigue is like if you quickdrew a revolver on the bbeg

PCs have 5 fatigue slots by default, but aren’t automatically knocked out when they reach 5 fatigue (they can mark conditions to stay in the fight until they run out of conditions to mark), NPCs explicitly don’t follow the same rules as PCs

from a numerical perspective PBTAs (including the ATLA one) typically have you resolve rolls by rolling 2d6 +/- some modifier (relatively small), with 2-6 being a failure, 7-9 being some sort of mixed success, and 10+ being a full success

in contrast with e.g. D&D, where you’re equally likely to roll a 1 on a d20 as a 10 as a 20
