Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ferrix" data-source="post: 2904891" data-attributes="member: 6115">The goal of the system is to add a bit of detail about the wearing effect of activities, so yeah, basically a slightly modified fatigue system.  One that would be pretty simple and straight forward without having too much realism involved.From Stone to Steel eh?  I'll see if I can locate a copy.Actions would be given an effort descriptor, like they have a supernatural, extraordinary, etc. descriptor.Example:Rage (Ex, Stren)Tireless Rage would change the Rage abilities Strenuous Effort descriptor to a Normal Effort descriptor.Also, somehow I'd like to incorporate a way that when something is at the limit of your skill, it is harder, while the more easily you could pass the check, the less effort you expend.Example:Rogue with +10 to Disable Device, vs. a DC 20 Trap, only needs to take or roll a 10 to succeed.  Not a particularly large effort on his part.  However, vs. a DC 30 trap, he has to roll a 20 to succeed, and that takes a lot of effort to try to accomplish.  Thus, a DC 30 trap might Wind or Fatigue him, while a trap that is DC 35 mind Exhaust him if he somehow managed to disable it (bonus from aid another, spells, etc.).I don't want to differentiate too much between mental and physical effort, because they can both be incredibly draining when they push you to your limits.</blockquote>
