I want to keep the game as fluid and freewheeling as possible. Is a Gimmick or number for everything needed? Eventually I decided to keep it, but more as a mental note. It does help keep everyone on the same page. I think I will also add in -1 FIT for strength related activities and +1 FIT for activities involving agility or flexibility) I don't think its a positive or negative, more like a neutral Gimmick. Obviously, the character will grow out of it. Positives and negatives do effectively cancel out. The negative give +1 or +3, the positive -1 or -3 ability or skill points.Interesting point about the Child/Poor Reputation synergy. But then, can you imagine the villagers taking your character seriously if he can to them with a story about ogres in the forests, or that the new priest is actually an imposter. Especially after all those pranks and incidents, like the 'ghost in the barn' (for example). I think it works.The 1 for 3 with INFLUENCE skills kind of threw me as well. I'm happy to allow a 2 for 1 on Subterfuge in this case. Especially with only 15 skill points.Luck is d6/2 (round up) +1. Convoluted. Pick a number if you want.I can go with one character. I generally prefer around 4 to 5. But the first adventure would be relatively easy to set up with just Tarren. It may be harder to handle though. Not so much in a combat sense, however. It would make for interesting RP I think, as Taaren wouldn't be in charge of the situation in the conventional sense.Lets fisnish up here, and aim for a Monday kick off with whoever is on board by then.thotd</blockquote>
