For stuff like Hoof Dexterity are we going to have like additional levels? Like "Advanced Hoof Dexterity" or "Advanced Telekinesis" or something?

You mean you have to divide it by 2 TOO?!!

GAHHHH

According to the Skill list, I think we are

Cantrips: Basic level spells that have absolutely no combat value. short range Telekinesis up to a couple pounds , short term conjuration of light etc.

@ Ginger: Hence why even numbers are good.

They could be useful. Blind the monster that's extremely light sensitive!

Mm... a bard would probably require some DEX to play their instrument, wouldn't they? Unless I went for singing, but still.

How exactly am I going to arrange my stats for this? I had been thinking that if I go for storytelling specialization, I would focus on CHA, INT and maybe a bit of WIS(Int for good with words, WIS for observing audience, though that might come down to CHA). I might swap WIS for DEX, but either way my CON and STR are going to be fairly low.

Also, Lukrer: If you're G Ming, are you going to be coming up with a Campaign on your own?

@Bad but... GODFUCK why so much math?!

@Bad, I seriously doubt you're going to be able effectively wield a weapon with a handle with your hooves, regardless of how dexterous your are.

We could always multiply all the stats by 2 to make it simpler.

Curious, is WIS the stat that general observations are based on?

As I understand it that's right.

@ Lurker: How are we wielding weapons then? Mouth? Wings?

Or are we not having weapons?

@crowlover: yes.

From the D 20 SRD:

Wisdom (Wis) Wisdom describes a character’s willpower, common sense, perception, and intuition. While Intelligence represents one’s ability to analyze information, Wisdom represents being in tune with and aware of one’s surroundings. Wisdom is the most important ability for clerics and druids, and it is also important for paladins and rangers. If you want your character to have acute senses, put a high score in Wisdom. Every creature has a Wisdom score.

You apply your character’s Wisdom modifier to:

Will saving throws (for negating the effect of charm person and other spells). Heal, Listen, Profession, Sense Motive, Spot, and Survival checks. These are the skills that have Wisdom as their key ability.

@Story: Okay, thanks.

Also, I think we should stick to the standard stats; doubling everything makes it more confusing for those who are already familiar with the system.

Ginger: It's a conflict resolution system where things are measured as numbers. There's really no other way for them to react than math.

I guess a politician is gonna need to focus on Wisdom, INT and CHR

What would be more important, WIS or INT?

@Kegi I'm always open to ideas. I think the very first thing we do, though, is going to be a short dry-run of the system where we come up with the abilities we want to create the characters and get a feel for the system. That campaign won't be very complicated, probably just a trip into the Everfree Forest or some similar adventure.

Math don't scare me!

For perspective Twilight Sparkle has significantly high Intelligence but low Wisdom.

I'd say WIS is more useful for a poltician, Ginger.

Well, is it typical to play a character with high INT, but low WIS?

Thanks, that helps.

How about a Pegasus with that?

edited 5th Apr '12 3:36:26 PM by crowlover

Yeah, it's called the Wizard.

@ Crow, yes, they tend to be very book smart, but low on common sense and/or very unobservant.

I think CHA is the most important for politicians. And in this system, there aren't many points to spend on extra stats.

@Kuroi Sorry... but you REALLY expect me to not find all this math fucking scary?!

@Drenius but I think a CM in our system focuses only on two attributes... whih two should they be?

CHR and either INT or WIS
