[QUOTE="Jephkay, post: 3273669, member: 48827"] I've never done a play by post... are there some guidelines? Somewhere? Suggestions?

[B]On Wounds and Such Matters[/B] I honestly don't remember what penalties CODA layered on at various levels... we hardly ever had PCs in combat (melee or ranged). It was mostly ship to ship action. I figure the penalties might work out to % of Total HP Penalty 60 -2 to all checks, to hit and STR-Based damage 30 -4 " " " 10 -8 " " " But let's see...
