It’s more about getting players to think about something other than just min-maxing and opens the door for the players to come up with their own goals in-game that they would like to pursue, which in turn gives the GM more hooks to grab onto for storyboarding the campaign and filling the spaces between adventure modules.i also get this. I guess it would be up to the GM to discourage such shenanigans as people doing that are liable to be looked at as a menace by the local guard and tossed in gaol until they sober up (the guards assuming they’re drunk).Record keeping wouldn’t be too bad—just a single number for each skill success, tracked on the player’s character sheet. The skills section on a character sheet is already sort of information dense.My wife and I were just laughing about this last night when I posted it. I was like, “Babe! I did it! I solved a problem for a game system that’s obsolete and 20 years old!”Still, I like the 3.5e system and wanted to freshen it up a bit with some flavor for this campaign setting. It’s also totally optional so I won’t force people to use it in their games, but it’s a nice alternative for those who like the more nitty-gritty feeling of old school games like Cyberpunk (3 hour character creation only to be killed by a random druggie an hour in, anyone…?).I am a fan of the details, and don’t mind record keeping as much because it just serves as a cliff note for me.</blockquote>
