Christopher R Taylor Posted December 2, 2021 Report Share Posted December 2, 2021 Quote I use CON rolls against non_exotic poisonings, tainted water, etc, or as a gateway to staying on your feet at 0 STUN, and against possible infections. Sometimes to award a pip or two of END when recovering, and sometimes a Pip or two of BODY when healing (normal healing). Yep, CON rolls can be used more richly and interesting, to pull people in to the game more. I'm considering a rule where if you make your CON roll (at a penalty equal to the extra stun you took over CON) to recover faster, so you get a half phase when you're stunned, instead of taking your whole phase to recover. I want more of that in the game, stuff that lets stats mean more particularly now that 6th edition removed a lot of their significance. Just remembered, Bob Greenwade did a terrific 2-3 page bit on how to use Comeliness to give it more validity, meaning, and in-game significance, I'll attach that if I can find it again.

Yep. I use a Con roll there, tio. Not as detailed; just a make a Con roll to reduce the length of time you are Stunned. Like I said, it was something I started doing to make D&D (D$D?) Players feel a bit less stressed about learning a new system. It wasnt until I started doing it that I came to see that this had real validity in terms of buying higher CON, etc, even though the edition I play had built-in rewards (Figured Characteristics) for the expenditure. It helos robust characters feel more robust, if that makes any sense. 13 hours ago, Christopher R Taylor said: Bob Greenwade did a terrific 2-3 page bit on how to use Comeliness to give it more validity, meaning, and in-game significance, I'll attach that if I can find it again.
