[QUOTE="Death_Jester, post: 1284937, member: 2156"] [b]Request for Feedback on new rules[/b] Greetings to all that are reading this little diary. I have been thinking and have talked to my wife about the fortune points. She seems to think they are a good idea. But she has some reservations about the issue, as they may become a blackmail tool for some players. A kind of help me or I wont help you kind of thing. This is the total opposite of what I want them to be but I can see situation happening too. So I would ask the readers what could I do to prevent this kind of situation from happening in the game? Just outlaw that kind of activity outright exerting my authority as DM or is there a subtler way of manipula. . . er helping the players see my point of view. Something else I would like some feedback on the fortune points and how they are used. I was thinking of allow the players to only spend the points on each other but what if they could spend them on themselves to allow them to get a single re-roll of a dice or spend it on others to get an 'automatic' success. That way they have a choice as to how to use it but the choice would be theirs. So to repeat the luck points can only be use to save the life of the player that is spending the luck point. It can only be used in situations that would lead to immediate death situation. Fortune points would be used to either allow the spending player a chance to re-roll any die roll except ability generations rolls and hit points. Or the player could spend it to allow someone else an automatic success at "ANY" task or roll. Or Fortune points can only be use to allow another player an automatic success in any task. So what do you think the best way to handle this would be? Remember that the goal is to build teamwork and get the players to care about each other. So let me know what you think. [/QUOTE]
