Destiny in DF?

That seems like a strange fit.

Yeah . . . people can call IQ "IN" or FP "FT" or Will "WL" if they want, but if they expect non-quippy answers, they would do well to use the game's actual terminology. ;)

And "Wealth Level" was my first non-quippy guess, to be honest.

I think Destiny suits almost any kind of fantasy, really. It's omitted from DF 1 because, like Wealth, it would need space to explain how it works. But treating Destiny as a one-shot guaranteed win that results in phat lewts seems entirely fitting.

Quippy... something about that word just makes me happy :)

Tom Selleck in Quippy Down Under.
Paul, the Marketing Quippy.

As long as they keep playing those banjos, we're okay. It's when they stop that things get bad. (Why? That's when the bass solo starts.)

So, has anybody proposed a Bards not-a-splatbook yet?

Ystava, my current DF character, has a perk-level destiny "Friend to Bears", which I fully intend to keep dumping points into. He also has Obsession: Ride the Dire Bear, and if I get lucky, he'll get a chance to buy a dire bear Ally, or Speak to Bears or something.
