Revised Storyteller System

The Revised Storyteller System is a ruleset published by White Wolf for use in the Trinity Universe series of games as well as the Exalted universe. Key characteristics are the nine cardinal Attributes, three categories of Abilities, seven Health Levels, a Willpower score, and the use of only d10s in order to resolve conflicts.

History
Springing from the Storyteller System, the Revised ST System first saw the light in 1997 with the publication of Trinity. It was fine-tuned for Aberrant in 1999 and in Adventure! in 2001.

The Adventure! incarnation is arguably the most popular, particularly the Dramatic Editing mechanic. More than any other White Wolf game, Adventure!'s ruleset has been used to emulate hundreds of different games and settings. Knight Rider, Star Wars, the list goes on.

Exalted was also released in 2001, and used its own particular variant of the Revised Storyteller System.

Many of the innovations of the Revised Storyteller System, such as the three different types of damage (Bashing, Lethal, Aggravated) have been incorporated back into the base Storyteller System with the appropriately-named Revised Edition.

Many of the best elements of both the base ST System and the Revised ST System were mixed together to create the Storytelling System used in the new World of Darkness.
