Rules Discussion

[jeep]

There is an offshoot of fudge that could be decent to look at. It also is "numberless" too, though.

The normal human range of anything is 1-7... heroes can get to 10.

I remember that someplace Yaw wrote up a brief description of that these numbers mean. Does anyone know where that is?

This, of course maps to FUDGE quite nicely...


1. Terrible
2. Poor
3. Mediocre
4. Fair
5. Good
6. Great
7. Superb
8. Legendary



And we can add the extra two on... Maybe "Mythical" for 9 and "God-like" for 10.

Legendary is there as an option... But I like FUDGE a lot.

Yaw, try reading this: http://www.panix.com/~sos/rpg/fudfive7.pdf

An interesting list of skills, if nothing else. Also, are you using the 1995 FUDGE rules? http://www.fudgerpg.com/files/pdf/fudge_1995.pdf or an older set?

I've FUDGE-ified Nithrar:

Name: Nithrar
Player: JEEP
Race: Elven
Description:
At 5'8" Nithrar's healthy 170 pounds don't make him seem imposing to most. His long hair is dark enough to be almost black, making his appearance seem almost human. He generally wears earth tones.

I might drop some of the others to get alchemy knowledge... but I'll wait to hear what the character creation rules become.

http://www.eatel.net/~mitchw/fstat.html was pretty interesting.

Fate v 3.0 is interesting, but I'm not sure I like everything I know about it:
http://evilhat.wikidot.com/fate-v3

Aspects have changed... no longer having levels, and cost a fate point to invoke.

There's not a lot of information there, but I'm liking the FUDGE version.

The old wiki (which I could probably search for) has a section on stunts.

Basically, you spend a skill point to add a stunt. For each SP you spend, you get another box next to it. When you do the stunt, you check one off. It hurts your pyramid, but they are generally pretty powerful. So it's nice. I might have linked something to the old wiki earlier.

I'm seeing a lot of cool stuff in SotC that can be merged into this [our current character creation stuff]. I'm not yet convinced that FATE 3.0 (which doesn't have it's formal definition out yet) is perfect, but I think that I like the way they deal with aspects.

You don't get levels of the aspect, but you need to spend a fate point to use them. It would mean I need to change Conjuration a little, but I can see going with this.
