Hi all, I have been following the net.rpg, and SLUG threads for some time now. And while I was walking downstairs to get a pop, mulling over the plusses and minusses of the two, I got an idea for how to do stats. Here's how it works: Each stat (Strength, Agility, Mind, and Personality), have two substats for them: Passive, and Agressive (for lack of a better word). Passive stats are in effect all the time. And agressive stats are things you need to be concentrating on to do. For instance, someone with a really good Agressive Agility, but a poor Passive Agility, might be a good sword fighter, bow shooter, etc, but they tend to be clumsy when their mind is on other things. They might be great at picking locks, but don't trust them for sneaking around. Here's how I'd do it: STRENGTH: AGR:Lifting things, hitting things, etc. PAS:Stamina, Endurance, Hit points, Healthiness AGILITY: AGR:Sword fighting, Shooting, Throwing PAS:Falling without getting hurt, Dodging, Walking and chewing gum. MIND: AGR:Channeling magic powers, casting spells PAS:Magic resistence, Pain resistence, Willpower PERSONALITY: AGR:Fast-talking, bluffing PAS:Appearance, respect from others, standing in community So whadda ya think? I think that this system would work REALLY well with SLUG, but I also think it's be great for net.rpg. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ | It's the sputter of a raindrop.
