So here's a little anecdote. I figured I'd roll stats for this RP, just out of interest, and because I've come up with a pretty abstract possibility for a powerset. First roll on a d12: 10. Good start. Second roll on a d12: 12. [b]Good start.[/b] So, 22% Despair. Alright, it's still pretty low in the grand scheme of things, not like it's 50% or anything. First roll on a d8: 5, so respectable starting experience. Second roll on a d8: 8. I swear I'm not making that up. "Have her know the truth about witches," I said to myself, "and make her under 14, and we wind up with a veteran magical girl of immense core power, but also pretty shoddy starting levels of despair." Like a souped-up Lucille, incidentally! And then I realised the DM is rolling stats for the players, and my hopes were crushed due to having wasted my good luck. Since that's a whole thing, I guess I'll ask [@NightinGem] to roll stats anyway, just in case I've got some luck left to me.
