{{Short description|Role-playing game system}} {{Expand Japanese|date=August 2018}} The '''Standard RPG System''' (SRS for short) is a Japanese [[role-playing game system]] developed by FarEast Amusement Research and used in ''[[Alshard]]'', ''[[Tenra War]]'', ''Kaze no Stigma RPG'', ''[[Shinkyoku Sōkai Polyphonica]] RPG'' and so on. The newest, the 14th game that use SRS are the ''[[Full Metal Panic!]] RPG'' based upon the [[anime]] and [[light novel]]s of the same title. SRS games are published by several companies such as Game Field, Softbank Creative, JIVE and [[Kadokawa Corporation|Kadokawa]](Former [[Enterbrain]] and [[Fujimi Shobo]]).
Standard RPG System is available under an open content license for non-commercial uses.
==Core mechanic== Standard RPG System uses only 6-sided dice. To determine whether the action is successful or not the player rolls only [[dice notation|2d6]], if the total of the dice rolled by the player and ability/class adjustments is more than or equal to difficulty score the action succeeds. To determine damage the player rolls a number of 6-sided dice. The number of dice that are rolled increases with various class abilities.
Players choose up to three [[character class]]es during [[character creation]] - for example, fighter/fighter/fighter (a 3rd-level fighter), valkyrie/valkyrie/scout (a 2nd-level valkyrie/1st-level scout), or black magician/white mage/wizard (a 1st-level black magician/1st-level white mage/1st-level wizard).
There are 6 [[statistic (role-playing games)|attributes]]: ''Tairyoku'' "Strength", ''Hansha'' "Reflexes", ''Chikaku'' "Perception", ''Richi'' "Reason", ''Ishi'' "Will" and ''Kouun'' "Luck". In [[Tenra War]], ''[[Tianxia|Tenka]]'', representing social ability, is present instead of ''Kouun''. Characters' attributes are decided by the selection of classes almost automatically. Attribute scores also determine the eight combat ability scores.
==Scene system== {{see also|:ja:シーン制}}
The game session is proceeded under the "Scene system" and divided into 4 phases: opening phase, middle phase, climax phase and ending phase. In the opening phase, [[player character]]s (PCs) get into the incident with each one having a motivation such as business, adventure, curiosity and romantic feeling for the heroine. PCs do not need to make up a party in this phase. In the middle phase, the PCs get together. And they fight against creatures and research the incident. In the climax phase, the boss enemy appears as the arch-foe against PCs. The ending phase is the phase for the epilogue. Each phase is also divided into several scenes. The Game Master(GM) chooses a ''scene player'' as the scene's protagonist. If the GM allows and the player succeed in an Appear roll, other PCs can appear on the scene as well.
==Breakthrough systems== Each SRS game have a different "Breakthrough system" work much like hero points.
In ''[[Alshard]]'' and ''[[Alshard Gaia]]'', characters possess supreme divine powers according to their classes. For example, fighters possess the power of 'Thor', which adds extra damage to damage rolls, while white mages possess the power of 'Idun', which can raise the dead. Supreme divine powers are named ''Kago'' (加護, lit. divine protection). Each character can use ''Kago'' three times every a session, according to the three classes chosen during character creation.
In ''[[Tenra War]]'', its Breakthrough system is called ''Gou system'' (業システム, lit. [[karma]] system). Player characters earn ''[[Aikido#Etymology_and_basic_philosophy|Aiki]]'' (合気, lit. harmonious spirit) points by good [[roleplaying]] in the sessions. ''Aiki points'' can be transferred into ''Kiai'' (気合, lit. fighting spirit or willpower) points work much like costs for more powerful abilities.
Player characters in ''Kaze no Stigma RPG'' and ''[[Shinkyoku Sōkai Polyphonica]] RPG'' can use ''Kizuna Kouka'' (絆効果, lit. bonds effect) depends on their human relationships.

Trinity x Venus SRS's breakthrough system is named ''Advanced V.I.P. system'', PCs (player characters) can use customizable supernatural abilities.
