[Enemy post]

Not sure if I like that one of your attributes directly makes up for the downside of another. I'm fine with having improved senses for a positive, but could you pick something else for a negative?

If his attributes just cancel each other out, he's probably just going for role playing a Daredevil sort of blindness, right? If it helps, I don't mind him taking them and I'm probably going to be one of his targets.

[Egan_BW]

In that case, it's just fluff and he should have Unrelenting as his only attribute. I'd like for all the attributes in play to be things that actually matter. I don't really mind daredevil blindness which is just an advantage as a positive, and I don't mind normal blindness which is just a negative, but having two attributes which just cancel each other out is a waste of space on the sheet.

From the looks of it, he's trying to gain an immunity to stealth attacks at the cost of his chance to hit anything.  If there is a far off enemy, he could be particularly vulnerable even with weaponmaster reflexes.

[FallacyofUrist]

The attributes don't quite cancel each other out. For one thing, since he's blind, he can't read stuff except specialized bump-based writing, he doesn't really have depth perception and things that don't make any noise or smell are basically invisible to him. On the other hand, he can hear, smell, feel, and taste things most people couldn't, making him very hard to sneak up on, better at some kinds of tracking. There's advantages and disadvantages.

What's the difference between the Resistance and Unrelenting attributes?

So uh, when does the ic thread/the game start?

It starts when I think we have a good mix of players. Maybe tomorrow.

[Lenglon]

Minor change to my character made, I think it'll work as a compromise between my two main design ideas.

[ATHATH]

What's the difference between the Resistance and Unrelenting attributes?

Ahem.

[Egan_BW]

Hmm.

Resistant: You can take a lot of punishment.
Unrelenting: It takes a lot to make you give up.

One is how much damage you can take, the other is how easily you give up. Physical vs Nonphysical.
