From the introduction: JAEVA: Giant Robot RPG is meant to be a deceptively simple game that runs off the idea of d10 pools established by games like The World of Darkness and made to work (optionally) with the crossover setting of JAEVA Project, which combines the universes of Neon Genesis Evangelion and the excellent Pacific Rim franchises into a single world plagued by massive alien monsters, out of control powers-that-be, and the collateral damage wrought by massive (usually) humanoid robots. Characters have a list of attributes and skills with dots that, when added together, give a number of dice a character uses for an average roll. Unlike other games, however, when you are in a robot/Jaeger/EVA, you use their physical attributes instead of your own.
