Talon Posted May 5, 2003 Report Share Posted May 5, 2003 Figured Characteristics are rapidly proving to be far more trouble than they're worth. The mind control ray is working! Muahaha!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kintara Posted May 5, 2003 Report Share Posted May 5, 2003 So, speaking of this, let's say I was to use the figured equations as guidelines instead of direct figured characteristics. What would the prices change to? STR 1 pt. CON 1 pt. DEX 2 pts. Would you leave Perception tied to INT? Personally, I don't mind that. Similarly, I don't mind BODY affecting STUN, but it might be more consistent and accurate to lower BODY by 1/2 a point (so 1 1/2). What about breaking EGO and DEX apart from CVs? Are there any balance concerns with this that mightnot be immediately evident? I like the changes in balance, from my admittedly inexperienced perspective. I just recently posted a question on how to do a paralytic poison. Drain DEX probably works best, as far as effects go. But Drain DEX is rendered a third less powerful because it "drains" the point that you pay in DEX for SPD, with no effect at all (correct?).

Talon Posted May 5, 2003 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2003 When I tried this, I did: STR x1 DEX x4 [and people still bought it in droves) CON x1 BODY x2 INT x1 EGO x2 PRE x1 COM x0 [no longer a stat] [figured stats as listed] Generally it was a success. It does still present the problem that 5 point INT or PRE Skill levels are the same cost as buying up the stat; didn't come up with a good solution for that.

Kintara Posted May 5, 2003 Report Share Posted May 5, 2003 Hmm, so DEX is too good then? Why did you decide on x4? It seems pretty tough to me, especially now that SPD is bought seperately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talon Posted May 5, 2003 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2003 DEX is reallllly good: DEX skills, CV, and determining who goes first. It's good enough that I thought about going to x5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kintara Posted May 5, 2003 Report Share Posted May 5, 2003 Hmm, how do you handle point caps? You generally limit characteristics like you do powers, right? With AP limits? It seems to limit the range a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
