This is the home brew system I'm running home games with

Used old school hack as a skeleton and then stuck on favourite bits of d&d.
Prob gave too many options for character creation for complete newbies, or it would of been okay if I had printed out a nice list for each class rather than having to pass around the print out. Also was going to do the race as class thing , but everyone kinda choose a race and class while I was distracted explaining something to someone, so I went with it.
Stats are strength, dexterity , Savvy (a mash up of intelligence, willpower and charisma), awareness, 4d6 drop lowest assign as you go. Roll under stats for saving throws as well as general checks. Modified by level difference in the case of active attack (someone trying to control your mind rather than you trying to keep your balance on a roof top), skills as Neo Classical Geek revival (not that I've brought them in yet, newbie players already juggling too much.), your class also counts as a skill, so if you claim some subject exposure as part of your class training you get +2 to the roll.

Stat checks modifers:
default situation = no modifer
default situation + one additional thing not going your way (you are climbing a wall, but its slippery) =-2 on the stat
Default situation +2 additional things going wrong (same wall +slippery and your getting shot at) =-4
Default situation +3 additional things going wrong (same wall+slippery+under fire+covered in bees)=-8
etc

Sometimes a whole bunch depends on a stat check. Like trying to talk someone into that you are actually a weresnail and need all that salt and a catapult for reasons. In this case, the bare minimum is that they give you want you wanted. But other factors after the roll include if they are truly convinced , are they going to go about trying to get additional aid for you, are they in awe of you snailness, did you do this talking quickly and efficient or did you have to waffle about with diagrams? DOes he suspect you could be telling the truth about the snail curse, but lying about your intentions?
This is quick thing for that. In any situation where it seems more trouble than its worth don't use it.
If so you succeed the roll by 10 you can pick / decide like 3 things about it that describe how well it went
by 9-5 is 2 things 4-1 one thing, and rolling right on the stat means you get the bare minimum for success. Examples of additional success adjectives are
?? Boldly
?? Carefully
?? Cleverly
?? Forcefully
?? Helpfully
?? Impressively
?? Precisely
?? Thoroughly
?? Quickly
?? Quietly
(this is from www,onesevendesign.com/wildlings/wildings.pdf and is worth a look)

Dex adds to armour class if taking defensive action and armour class when unarmoured (if a positive modifier)
and to hit rolls in melee
Strength adds to damage where brute force is helpful and allows you to carry one additional heavy object per point of modifer
?Savvy adds attack rolls with directed spells, and initiative and the background roll to determine skills
Constitution adds to starting hit points (which are 5) and then adds to the growing mighty roll at each level up

Unconscious at zero hitpoints and roll on the "oh noes" table

Spells are recover with half hours rest and refreshment. Same with hitpoints unless you below zero. Then you need props healing.

Background table:
1d8+savvy modifer
0 or lower ONE TRACK MIND you get no other skills other than your class
1-2 INATTENTIVE one skill
3-4 RUN OF THE MILL two skills
5-6 BRIGHT SPARK you have 3 skills
7-8 DEFT HAND you have 4 skills
9-10 GIFTED you have 5 skills
11-12 SAVANT you have 6 skills

(this was added because the modifier from savvy was not doing much for non-spell casters and I was undecided if? I wanted? it used for initiative rolls . In the end I did, but yeah. I'll bring in this table when the players starting thinking more about their characters past, like if they are trying to build a rude shelter, I will ask, "so your character spend sometime learned wood skills, who taught them to them?" etc.

GROWING MIGHTY:
Roll a 1d8, add your con score, and +1 if you are a fighter
1 and below: no hitpoint bonus for you
2-4: no hitpoint bonus but +1 next time you have to roll. Make a note of that. Stacks if you roll this again
5-8:+1 hit points
9-10: +2 hit points11+: + 3 hit points

OH NOES:
Once in negative hit points roll a 1d6 and the amount of hitpoints you are? below zero. Every round make a con check. If you fail you lose one hit point.? If you succeed 2 in a roll , you have stabilized and will wake up in a couple of minutes
1. Bruised: you will at -1 to all rolls until you have had a couple of days decent rest
2.Battered:as above but -2
3:Savaged:you are bleeding to death! you lose one hit point per round unless some one binds your wounds with a successful savvy roll
4:Mauled:You will have crazy scars on your face and stuff. You will be fatigued for a month from your wounds
5:Mangled:Unless treated with magic (and a successful savvy roll, one roll a month) one random limb wouldn't work as good as it should.50/50 chance of either -1str or -1 dex
6:Maimed : you? lose a finger or an ear or a toe if not due to the original injury , then from infections or blood loss. You fumble on a 1 or 2 now.
7:Hewn. Yeah one limb is totally not on anymore. One less leg means you move way slower, one less arm means no shield or double weapons style for you.
8:Hemorrhaging: you are now losing 2 hit points per round and will not stabilize without outside treatement.
9+Slain. You is dead yo.

???? .

Other condtions :
Prone: lying one the ground is prone. You cannot move in this round and attack. You must use your move action to get up. If you get hit while trying to get up, roll a dex check to prevent yourself from falling down again. People are +2 to hit you with melee weapons but -2 with ranged.
Fatigued: fatigued is hella tired yo. You can't move more than a brisk walk, and must roll any physical stat check twice and choose the worse result.
Bigger than/smaller than/heaps bigger than/heaps smaller than: If you are bigger than someone you get +1 to damage them, but they get +1 a.c if they have a dex modifer to their armour class.
If you are heaps bigger than someone you get +4 to damage but they get +4 armour class if they have a dexterity? modifier to their armour class.
Crows are smaller than people. Lizard folk are NOT bigger than people for this purpose. A horse is bigger than a person for this. A cat is heaps smaller than a person. A elephant is heaps bigger? than a person .?

Again you can climb even faster by taking a penalty on your roll.
Impersonation:

Inherent: You have wings, while these don?t support your weight, they do allow you to glide 3 metres for every 1 you fall (as long as you are not holding a heavy weight). As long as you can glide you will not suffer falling damage.
These do make you vulnerable to fire, you take another 2 points of damage from fire. Also wearing iron or steel (equivalent to medium armour) makes you fatigued

Cloud Stepping:
Any surface can support you while you?re running. Water, leaves, crumbling rooftops,falling snowflakes, etc. If you stop running, you fall.

CROW -2 strength, +2 savvy
You are only about two-and-a-half to three feet tall, so it's very easy to get into places that your fellow adventurers cannot. You can fly clumsy , reaching about 4 metres with a successful con check (half that with a failed one). You can glide atleast 10 metres though. This is as long as you?re not carrying anything heavy.
Armour must be especially made for you and prevents you from flying. You cannot carry heavy items and are small which can work in your favour but means you can get pushed around easy. See note on size at the start, you count as small in comparison to humans

In addition you can spend any talents from your class on the below talents

Scavenger:
You can eat pretty much anything. You can retrieve it later if you're willing to get your hands dirty. You always have a Light weapon, even if you've been disarmed, thanks to that sharp beak of yours.
Evasive:
The first attack on you during a round you've spent Moving automatically misses; but you cannot choose the Move action on the following round.
UnderFoot:
You can give up an existing action to automatically succeed at Impeding someone, and doing so trips them up enough that their next roll is made at a -1 (don?t forget to remind the DM).
Aww?.
Every now and then, your normally sinister nature is completely subverted by random acts of adorability. By breaking out some serious puppy dog eyes (not literally), no non-player-character will possibly be able to believe that you've done something bad. Your fellow party members may know better, however.
How Convenient?.
Once per game session you can have just the right mundane item on you, that you just happened to ?find? earlier.

Pick 4 items from the picture cards.
You have 1d10 silver pieces and 1d20 copper. (10 copper is one silver) to buy anything else you want.
You can start with one weapon of your choice and? an armour of your choice.
You can carry a number of Heavy items = to strength modifier (minimum zero). If you carry more than that, you are staggering around encumbered and can?t really move beyond a brisk walk, and you will fail any stat roll relating to movement or agility.
A very heavy item counts as 2 heavy items .
You can carry like 2 weapons and be okay. After that each weapon start counting as a heavy weapon.
Armours:
Your default armour class is ten + your con modifier. If you are not wearing any armour you can add your dexterity modifier (if positive) to this. If you take the Dodge action as you action in combat you can add your dexterity modifier (if positive) to your? a.c as well
Light armour
This is like leather armour, big thick animal hides, studded vests, a chainmail vest, or thick quilted cloth
It gives +2 a.c
Heavy armour:
This is like breast plates, full length chain, fancy armoured shoulder pads, horned helmets and roman style banded armour
It gives +4 a.c and it counts a heavy item.
Very Heavy Armour
This is full plate armour, massive fancy or brutal steel stuff
It gives +6 a.c and counts as a very heavy item.

Bucklers (a small shield the size of a dinner plate), fancy helmets, Poltroons (excessive shoulder armour), vembraces (arm guards) count as a weapon for encumbrance purposes.
And you can sacrifice them in order to reduce an attack to doing only 1 point of damage. I.e the item is destroyed in the attack and you keep your organs in your body for now.
Shields are about the size of a rubbish lid and are either round or roughly triangle. Or rectangle. Maybe heart shaped? Maybe not. Anyway it will give you +1 to a.c? and can be sacrificed to reduced an attack to one wound. It also counts as weapon for encumbrance purposes and means you can?t use a ranged or very Heavy weapon (those requiring 2 free hands)
Heavy Shields count as a heavy item , give you +2 a.c and can if sacrificed to reduce an attack to one point of damage it becomes damaged but not destroyed. Using it again for this will destroy it however. Heavy shields are those big square things roman soldiers had.

Weapons!
Weapons have all kinds of different things going for them.
The most basic one is the damage type.
It will either be slashing, piercing, or blunt.
Some weapons will have the choice of being something or something, like a sabre that can be used for slashing or piercing.? Some will do both kinds of damage at the same time, like a mattock (a great big war pick) which does piercing and blunt at the same time.
Most of the time this does not matter but occasionally you will fight things that are harder to hurt with some attacks than others. Skeletons for example? are resistant to piercing weapons, having no organs to skewer .
?Light weapons give you +2 if you are using them in Tight circumstances such as a grapple or a chimney. Light weapons only count for encumbrance purposes if you have like 30 of them.
Reach weapons are long and shit. You get +1 to your a.c when using one because you can keep your enemy at bay. If an enemy is really close to you however or you are in tight environment they are useless. Unless you can think of something cunning to do with them They also give you a +2 bonus in .hazardous environments, where footing is difficult or visibility is limited.
Ranged weapons attack earlier than melee ones and can attack people at a distance. You get +2 to attack in a open environment.
Throwable weapons are weapons that can be reliably thrown. You can of course throw anything , however results maybe haphazard. When thrown weapons count as ranged
Heavy weapons count as a heavy item. They give a +2 in a cluttered enviroment
Very Heavy weapons count as very heavy item. They give a +2 in a cluttered enviroment
Batshit weapons are weapons that are completely batshit to use.? And real hard to see coming. Your opponent cannot get any bonuses to a.c via dex against you in this combat? unless they successfully make an awareness check. You fumble with a batshit weapon on a roll of 1,2,3 instead of just on a 1.
Snare weapons are good for disarming people. If you roll minimum damage with them, the opponent must make a strength check or be disarmed.
