In terms of roll systems, how much of difference should stats acually make?

A fair bit.

[Empiricist]

Hmm... I wonder if we could use a system where dice number is based on stats? Such as one where [stat] six-sided die are rolled and the total is taken or a dice-pool system? Which would be fairer, would it be superior to the current system?

[Empiricist]

In the former case, the addition of 1 stat point adds 1-6 units to each roll, comparatively using dice pools, adding 1 stat point gives a ¹/₆ chance of subtracting 1, a ²/₆ chance of having no effect, a ²/₆ chance of adding 1 and a ¹/₆ chance of adding 2.

On average, adding 1 point in
Dice Addition results in a +3
Dice Pool results in a +1.5

[Sanure]

So with the proposed system, Yomiko who has a Mind of 50 would roll 50d6 and she would have a min-max of 50-300 where as Will would have 40-240?

That would probably require me to redo the entire system, as it was designed for using d100 and barely adapted for d50. Which is a pain.

The only problem I have with a stats = 1d6 is determining the DC of an action. Too low and you have people auto successing their actions. Too high and you have people auto-failing.

That was the first system. In the second system, Yomiko would have a min-max of -50 to 100 and Will would have one of -40 to 80.

Perhaps it may work without much conversion necessary?

[Empiricist]

Wait, come to think of it, does the nature of the actual weapon actually matter? For example, does a sniper rifle gain penalties a close range due to its long barrel? Do pistols suffer from their weaker projectiles relative to rifles? Does using a scythe gain penalties due to scythes being gardening tools with an impractical shape for combat use? Do trained combatants gain penalties against scythes due to having no idea how to fight someone attacking them whilst wielding gardening tools with an impractical shape for combat use?

[Sanure]

I think in that case, Simplicity is best...

[Empiricist]

Still would be hilarious if Nodoka charged off into combat only to see hit results such as [DEX vs DEX] [-10 vs -23].

[Akroma]

hey cado, your sig is cut off

[GreatWyrmGold]

Most people don't even keep track of their mana.

Doesn't it recharge fully every 15 posts anyways?

Now we need a plot revolving around learning the female PCs and NPCs of the castle's bra size.

...
We really don't.

Why is angst the default RP mode anyway?

Because it's easier than proper drama?

but really, anyone wanna play rotmg w/ me?

I already am. I just posted something.

In terms of roll systems, how much of difference should stats actually make?

I'd say that typical stats should matter as much or a bit less than the die rolls.

Hmm... I wonder if we could use a system where dice number is based on stats? Such as one where [stat] six-sided die are rolled and the total is taken or a dice-pool system? Which would be fairer, would it be superior to the current system?

Well, unless we divided our stats by ~10 that would be insane.
But something like that could work. Shadowrun has a similar system (well, the edition my dad has rulebooks for did; I've heard that it's changed for the complex).

The only problem I have with a stats = 1d6 is determining the DC of an action. Too low and you have people auto successing their actions. Too high and you have people auto-failing.

And this isn't a problem for the current system?

Do pistols suffer from their weaker projectiles relative to rifles? Does using a scythe gain penalties due to scythes being gardening tools with an impractical shape for combat use? Do trained combatants gain penalties against scythes due to having no idea how to fight someone attacking them whilst wielding gardening tools with an impractical shape for combat use?

Depends. In my system, no, because that requires balancing and leads to min-maxing and I don't want to deal with that.

...Trying to think of how to have Will cheer ICARUS up. Or Angel, maybe.
Failing.

((Why all the spoilers?))

((because when bracelets are off, it's stuff that uninvolved people should not know about))

The characters don't know, but the players are always involved!

"Not cool."
((I swear to Void that I was typing the [/color] and accidentally typed [/cool].
Seriously.))

That's probably from a weird quirk of psychology.

((...and thus, Selina forgot about the existence and possible feelings of all of her other girlfriends ))

Well, two are AWOL, and one was missing and would probably be open to a three-way.
So, there's that.

(( I don't THINK anything bad is gonna come of this.))

((You forgot the karma roll. And teen pregnancy ))

INEVITABLE teenaged pregnancy.

((It was stated by Elf that condoms will work.))

Really? Their chance of success for non-magical semen is pretty low.

Did you read the TvTropes page for wielding scythes?

And let's just figure that since it's magic jizz it knows not impregnate people when their owner tries to avoid it.

If it wasn't for me needing my shameless advertisement I would've sigged this by now.

[kj1225]

Isn't there a sig thread?

Also we should probably cycle out the taglines of the threads.
