This is just some basic ideas for a game system that I am slowly moving from random pieces of scrap paper to the web, and hopefully further developing the ideas.
Actions are rolled with (1 or 2?)d6. Maybe use the amount of dice to show scale. 1d6 at human scale. 2d6 at ogre scale.
All stats start at 0. They can be raised or lowered by up to 2, and put into another attack on a 1 for 1 basis.
Skills are rated from 0 (unskilled) to 6 (master).
Weapons are rated with Damage (expressed by an Xd6 roll) and Armour Piercing (AP). AP needs to account for regular shots (FMJ), shots that are bad against armour (shotgun shot, hollow point), and shots that are good against armour (armour piercing bullets). Armour is rated with an Armour Rating (AR).
Called Shot can be used to deal greater damage (multiply damage, add dice, or flat bonus?) or to cause an effect (knock a weapon out of hand, cripple a limb).
