Good news guys – I'm going camping this weekend! Bad news is that means my posts will be few and far between. I'll try to post at least once a day, but yeah. Don't feel the need to wait for me if things are going quickly.

[StarBoi]

@c3p-0h don't worry too much! go out and have a good time :)

[StarBoi]

Beep Boop Bop.

Hello Everyone, this will be kinda long, but please read it :3.

@Bird and I were talking, well…typing, and we were thinking that we should start a stat point system to give everyone an idea on what to expect from each other in battle. This is also to set some boundaries to make this au steam punk roleplay a little more…realistic and hopefully a little more dramatic (mwhahahah). So anyway, here is how it works.
There are a couple of categories: Strength, Dexterity, Intelligence, social, crafting and fighting. The number of points you get correlates to the characters age. 0-10=0points, 11-15 +5, 16-20 +8, 20-30 +11, 30-40 +13, 40-50 +12, 50-60 +11, 60-70+8…etc. A 10 on the scale means godlike powers, and I don’t think that anyone should have a 10 on any scale. A 3 is the average Joe on the streets.

This sets boundaries because if a person is a three in a certain skill, they will never be able to beat a five in that respect. Also, if someone who is a five says they cannot do something, then a person who is a three cannot do it either. I don’t really want to set a scale, because we are not leveling up here people, this is just to give perspective.
Now, everyone starts out with 3 points in each area, then you may add your extra points to the card as you see fit. You may also take away a point or two from your base 3 points and put them somewhere else. Just not that if your points go below three, then there are noticeable negative consequences. Say you have a really high intelligence, but a 2 or lower in social, you will never be able to communicate your ideas. If you have very high fighting skills, but low strength, you will not be able to fight for more than a minute or two. If you are very social, but have poor craft skills, you will never be able to make dinner for all your many many friends.
So, basic card:
Strength: 3
Dexterity: 3
Intelligence:3
Social: 3
Crafting: 3
Fighting: 3
Here is Taran:
Strength: 6
Dexterity: 7
Intelligence: 4
Social: 5
Crafting: 2
Fighting: 2

He will probably have the highest dexterity because he is a trained acrobat and can climb buildings and flip through the air and stuff like that. But he can't cook or make things, which is why he has a very low craft. He also can't fight and will always run away rather than fight (his mom never let him play with sharp objects)

If you have any ideas, please feel free to share them. Another idea is that we can simply list the characters on a scale. I.E. Social: Winter is probably at the top and Levi towards the bottom. Kinda whatever you think. This is sort to stop us from dropping bodies with a glance. There really is no challenge when everyone can just...do everything better than all the NPCs and other characters.

I read most of it. but kinda don't get it. the 11-5=14=+94027=482=+=-328-37298 err. sorry what? not that smart

@Xikari chan

So 0-10 is the age range. +0 means how many points you get in addition to the base 3

[StarBoi]

so, Jax 16, +8 points to add to the 3's?

[Ellion]

@Xikari chan

Yep :3

[StarBoi]

<Snipped quote by Xikari chan>
Yep :3

@Ellion

man that's hard. I get it but that's gonna be hard to spread the points. Jax is good at EVERYTHING. lol jk

[Ellion]

It might help to think of 7-8's as Olympic athletes of the catagory

[StarBoi]

@Ellion ohh okay

[StarBoi]

Jax
Strength: 5
Dexterity: 4
Intelligence: 4
Social: 3
Mech Crafting: 6
Fighting: 4

since I'm obsessed with trying to balance things out (a Libra. doesn't help with placing level up points in League) I'd tried to make it even but it makes sense that Jax isn't all that good with socializing, she kinda has an issue with punching people and doesn't know how to express herself all that well. Also she's pretty average with her dexterity, but it doesn't mean she can't do anything, she can jump from roof to roof as a thief would I guess, and can climb down as a normal pirate would be able too

is this okay?

[Ellion]

Mathematically it works out. But dextarity is roof jumping and pirate things...I'd make dextarity higher....

[StarBoi]

@Ellion I edited it, just not enough points *whines* lol. but I like the system

@Xikari chan

Lol, it is what keeps them human :3. And makes it challenging

[StarBoi]

@Ellion like I said, I like it. I guess from now on Jax will be a bit less talented and climbing and jumping around and stuff. but best at crafting and strength-related stuff lol

[c3p-0h]

so first off, this is a super cool idea! question for crafting though… winter's good at mixing things together like food or medicines or poison, but doesn't really know the first thing about mechanics or anything like that. since there's no way to differentiate that on the scale, i'm not sure what to give her for crafting.

@c3p-0h

Crafting was a tough one, I'd say just lable it bio craft, chem craft or mech craft to clarify
