Well, if you watch Westerns, speed is the god stat. If you hit of course. Or he isn't out of range. Or if your gun doesn't jam. And he doesn't happen to wear armor. Or he didn't throw a smoke or a flash grenade before appearing. Or if he didn't happen to sneak up on you. And if he doesn't just ignore the pain and fire back. And kill you.
These things only really become god stats if you let them. The devil's in the details.

But anyway, I'm not sure I agree with your conclusions, but I don't think I can really convince you without doing a test with the system that I am thinking of. Or writing 50 pages of crap no one will ever read. And since we're doing a test anyway, might as well do yours. Since it's your game.

Yeah, if it doesn't work I'll change things. There is a bit of a thing to give speed an advantage sometimes though. Eh, you'll see when the manual is finished.

Devlog;

Man, it's been a while. Fear not, I am still actively working on this. I've handled all the skills, I've got the systems for melee and ranged ready, which includes dual wielding rules for ranged, melee and a combination. Rules for fighting multiple opponents, rules for taking and moving between cover, rules for assassination and critical blows etc.

Currently, I'm working on the wounding system and then onto the player items. After that it's pretty much done, mechanically.

I mean, I'll still have to create a bunch more ship items and the world maps and figure out exactly how the fleshers raise those newts...but we can worry about that after this test! Soon friends,soon.

((Are you sure this isn't just Assasins Creed 4, The Forum Game?

Also, what do you mean by a "flesher," and what is a "newt"?))

Pmed actions

Yes, there will be. In fact, combat kind of relies around it.

Can we take a point in Linguistics so we can taunt our enemies in a language they can't understand?

No. But the speech skill does have a "Intimidation" specialization. So you could literally specialize in trash talk.

[Dansmithers]

I know what newts are.

[GreatWyrmGold]

Yes, because that's definitely the kind of newt piecewise meant, and it definitely fit the context...

I'm not saying~

Feel free to guess.

Is it a kind of metal alloy?
