[QUOTE="payn, post: 9739698, member: 90374"] Thinking about social and exploration pillar more is pretty exciting. I liked what Paizo did with PF1 alot with traits and their Ultimate Intrigue. The problem, of course, was the gonzo math and +1 hunting nature of the game. Getting a +2 on some skill didnt matter unless you were already stacking that attribute, class, etc... It also meant that a social system would excel for anyone charisma based and put anyone else way behind. Enter 5E and bounded accuracy. I think you could run all day with these ideas and they would work across the board. Yes, some folks would have an edge based on class and primary attribute, but they wouldn't be the [I]only[/I] ones able to participate in the system. Next step would be to expand the 5E skill system. Thats the thing I would start with as it bugs me the most about 5E. It just needs to be more. How to do that while staying Heroquest simple for fans that want that, is the real puzzle for my 5E extension im calling my 6E. [/QUOTE]
