I've been working on a rule set and I am curious... what to keep and what to axe?
The premise starts with defining the scale of physical statistics and for your brevity the core idea(s) and elaborations are:
Each performance range is grouped into a Value (attribute value)
Each stat has a minimum and a maximum range + modifiers
Each stat therefore becomes more definitive.
Each Attribute value is used in skill check resolution (Vs opponent or set difficulty). (Att+Skill+Item Vs Att+Skill+Item)
My thoughts:
Developing player identity by establishing a clearer scale to player
Stats that don't dynamically mutate in relation to balance of level or equal progression mechanics
Incremental performance increase becomes centered around skill points and itemization modifiers.
A little Off topic: Skills will cascade into different levels of specialization whereby some skills can be unlocked if x Attribute = minimum (must be certain Attribute score)( l
ots of skill trees, but trees are ~90% universal depending on routes taken and attribute scores. the remaining 10% would be based on career)*[/font][font="arial, verdana, tahoma, sans-serif"][color="#000000"][font="Franklin Gothic Medium Cond, sans-serif"] [/font][/font]
