Douglas Cole's "By Default" and the Rule of 20

nerdvana · 01-06-2015, 09:40 AM

I am implementing this alternate rule in my games but I have run into a quandary with the Rule of 20 (p. B173) and the Super Attribute enhancement (p. 17 of Power-Ups 4: Enhancements).

When using "By Default" are defaults still going to be maxed out at attribute 20 (i.e. Average skills max at a default of 10 instead of the RAW 15) or would you adjust the Rule of 20 to be the Rule of 32/30/28 to maintain the maximum default skill values from the RAW?

I am curious what others would do about this question in their games if they were using the "By Default" rules... also specifically WWDCD (What Would Douglas Cole Do) obviously.

Thanks in advance for replies
