Changed stats
So I made my own changed of character stats that I plan to use for the upcoming explorertion campaign. I would like to get some feedback before I get started. There are six primarily and two secondary;
ST +10/level DX +20/level IQ +20/level HT +10/level Originally +20/level then +15/level Will +10/level Per +5/level HP +2/level (ST+HT) FP +3/level (Will+HT)

Re: Changed stats
Will at +/-10 I can understand, as there are a lot of skills and stuff that rely on it, particularly if you're separating it fully from IQ. But why is HT +/-20?

I think it should be at +15 points but I'm thinking of keeping it +10 because its an very important stat to the campaign.

Re: Changed stats
I've never seen a PC who abused HT. So I wouldn't try and "fix" it myself.

Re: Changed stats
I've only seen one character with more than 13 HT and that was because it was a high end pulp game which had 3 characters, one with IQ 16, one with ST 16, one with DX 16. He felt he had to continue the theme. Unfortunately, we then added a fifth character...

Re: Changed stats
I routinely make characters with HT in the 14-16 range, and as such I can tell you it never feels like I'm getting my money's worth (unless it's a very combat heavy game - in which case I'm not the only person with a bumped up HT).

At HT+fit bonus+hard to subdue of 16+, you just do not go unconscious during fights normally even when below 0 hp. Of course trying to do long things beyond the fight time you will likely do so, but typical fights are so few seconds that the probability of rolling 17-18 is really low. Same thing with being killed if your death roll is 16+, you will have to be hacked down to -5*HP as again the probability of rolling 17-18 is really low. Further super abilities if you have effective HT 16: You can run a marathon in about 1 hour 37 seconds and if you have very fit, you can then turn around and run it again before slowing down due to being tired. If you have even a little bit of speed/move/DX over the base move given by the high HT+DX 10 and thus have move 7, the time does down to 1 hour and 23 minutes(almost 50 minutes faster than the world record). Alternatively after running the marathon, if you have put 1 point into breath control you can the take on average a 16 minute(12 minute if you had move 7) pause and then run the marathon again, repeating as many times as needed even without fit or very fit. |

The second thing in such campaign I try to get up is dodge, and as HT gives half its price to speed, it is a really good bargain. I have always felt that I have gotten way more than the worth from the HT. (Third thing I try to get up to reasonable values is will, due to the fact that the campaigns have used Extra Effort in Combat rules, where the high FP from high HT also help) |
