Message: <blockquote data-quote="mythusmage" data-source="post: 2808720" data-attributes="member: 571">Game Mechanic vs. IPGame MechanicModifying STEEP: On occasion an HP's steep may be modified by circumstances and conditons. How hard it is to use a K/S Area in a situation is known as the Difficulty Rating or, DR. The DR serves to either multiply or divide STEEP, thus making the task easier or harder. The DRs and their multipliers are:Easy: times 3Moderate: times 2Hard: times 1Difficult: times 0.5Very Difficult: times 0.25Extreme: time 0.1Thus a Persona with a STEEP of 39 in the Alchemy K/S Area would have an effective STEEP of 117 (thus virtually assuring success) in an Easy situtation (making tea on a quiet morning with no distraction), but an effective STEEP of 3 in an Extreme situation (making tea with a hurricane howling outside, bits of the house getting torn off, the neighbors visiting with their preschool kids, and one killer migraine.)(Note: No doubt somebody could rewrite the above, but I figure it's close enough to the basics (including samples of how to apply DR) that requiring folks to rewrite aint worth it. BTW, if it wasn't for the migraine the DR would be merely Very Difficult.)IPSir Gregane is fairly typical for a cavalier in this milieu. He's rather good with the sword, and fairly good when it comes to maintaining and repairing his equipment. At the same time his knowledge of, and skill with, magic is limited because it's not his main interest.(Note: Involves a unique character with unique characteristics. It can be rewritten fairly easily to fit another character entirely.)My take. Yours?</blockquote>
