Message: <blockquote data-quote="SableWyvern" data-source="post: 9895676" data-attributes="member: 1008">To be honest, one of the best parts of Temp/Potential for me is simply that the players enjoy seeing their stats go up when they level (and, to be honest, a stat occasionally dropping makes for an interesting wrinkle). The degree to which it accurately simulates anything is a lesser concern, IMO. In any case, rolling stat gains once per level isn't that much of an issue (although, perhaps more so if you're averaging stats in RM2 and using paper sheets).We used paper back in the day, with ridiculous 8 page character sheets when I was running RMSS. For whatever reason, it was never a problem, although now I struggle to comprehend how we did it back then.These days, my RM character sheets are by far the most complex spreadsheets I've ever created, but they work wonders. Our group tends to use spreadsheet character sheets for every game now, even simple ones.In my current game, I also have all my attack and crit tables set up in Obsidian with quick links between pages. I was always fairly good at managing all the combat stuff (the one time I experimented with sharing the load around the table, I found that actually just slowed things down), but it's even faster now,Which takes me back to my main point -- these trade-offs are a personal matter, and we're all entitled to set our limits wherever we're comfortable. There is no single, true, correct ratio to be aiming for.</blockquote>
