[OOC Thread] Pint Sized Sword & Sorcery (House Rules)

[Vargo]

Okay, that's a lot clearer. That makes sense, and doesn't violate what I was saying.

That's a really good idea, allowing for more versatility in character building and growth. As long as it's balanced, that would work well.


I was unclear on this before as well, but didn't say anything: What is "full value"? An average of +0 for stats?

"Full value" is the "original value" of the stats before they were divided for age - I.E., for Edwina, I originally purchased a 16 wis, divided by 2 became 8, added 4 for "Child of Nature", so my current Wis is 12.

Depending on whether or not the "Child of nature" bonuses are permanant, Edwina's Wis stat would reach full value at either 16, 20, or 24, depending on how we figure the adult stats. Once she maxes out all her stats to her adult potential, she can't increase her stats any more.

Skill points - when a character reaches a total skill point value of (class+adult int bonus)x4 (I.E., what a normal 1st level character would have) then they have reached their adult potential, and cannot "buy" any more skill increases.

Example:

Edwina's "adult" intelligence is 14. She is aiming for the Druid class. Hence, she has a potential total skill value of (2+4)x4, or 6x4=24. Once she has a total number of skill points equal to 24, she cannot purchase any more skill points with experience points, and must instead put any further experience into statistics increases. She also cannot buy any skills higher than 4 in value.

Once Edwina reaches the adult value on all of her stats, and once she has 24 skill points, she becomes a first level Druid.

Hope that makes sense.

Ah, silly me. I get it now. Sounds good to me!

 

[Eli-kun]

Is it too late to join in? Would there be any way to work in a Half Orc Caring child? Are there temples that would raise children? Do any of those lack racial prejudices?

 

[Vargo]

Just checking, are you others still interested in this?

 

[hafrogman]

I'm still here.

I don't know exactly what we're waiting for, though.

 

[Lichtenhart]

I'm still here.

I don't know exactly what we're waiting for, though.

Me too.

 

[Tonguez]

Still here.
It seems that Fieari is awol (I'm involved wwith two games in which he features and both are currently on hold) - I assume real life has got in the way. So do we give him another week?

 

[Seonaid]

Whatever. I'll wait around.

 

[Vargo]

I checked to see if I could e-mail him and check status, but no dice.

 

[Eli-kun]

Just when I find a game that looks interesting, it seems to stop running.
