That could work.

FoU has some twisted role ideas. Screw second-guessing this mechanical garbage spaghetti, I'm basing everything on reads and visible daytime behaviour.

Would you like to play a game of Mafia? The subforum is always open to new players.

In.

For my mechanic suggestion, there could be a crafting system similar to GMod's Zombie Survival gamemode (amazing gamemode btw), where players can craft two props/weapons in the world together to make a new object altogether, and on noxcode servers, craft weapons with dismantled weapon parts/trinkets to make new weapons.

Neat. Something like that would work well thematically with the cat's simple tech. I like it.

For example, combining a Sledgehammer with a Fuel Tank would result in making a Mega Masher, a sledgehammer that harnesses explosive power to deal massive damage to anything hit by it.

Okay, so I've been working on the RPG for a while, and I just want to run something by you guys. I've created the 6 main cat ability scores (Size Agility Energy Cunning Awareness Superiority) and assigned those stats to the 6 starting cat breeds. Since I'm not a cat owner myself, I googled up a lot of this information. What do you think about the result? Anything you'd like to change? I'll do whatever you guys think is right, as long as it doesn't make things too unbalanced.

Size Agil Ener Cunn Awar Supe
Abyssinian  4  3  5  6  2  3
Chartreux  5  6  3  4  3  2
Maine Coon  6  4  3  3  4  3
Persian  5  3  2  3  4  6
Siamese  3  2  6  4  3  5
Sphynx  3  4  4  3  6  3

What do Energy and Superiority do?

Glass is, as usual, correct.
Yep, as ever, I bestow upon Glass the expected +1
I'm gonna say we go with whatever Glass's idea is.

Energy is how active a cat is and is used to resist being fatigued. Superiority is how haughty a cat is and is used to resist being distracted or scared. (Each Stat also provides you with a trait if you have 4 or more points in it, but that could still use some tweaking, so I'm keeping it under wraps for now)

Also: why not allow us to build our own stat set from the pool of 23 you're using? There's no cat that's good at both Cunning and Awareness, so if someone wanted that combination, they wouldn't be able to get it.

Pro that, how skill checks gonna work anyway?

Damnit people, this is why I said to keep the truce. Because now everyone's ganging up on the cats.
Also, don't forget to contact your local Eldritch Being(s), so that they can help with our mission to destroy the universe.

I know. An idea I had to allow more choice was that you could choose to be a crossbreed by averaging the stats of two breeds, and rounding down. This way, you could get a cat that's good at both Cunning and Awareness by crossing an Abyssinian and a Sphynx. Do you think that provides enough choice?

Pro that, how skill checks gonna work anyway?
A d6 roll that has to be below the level of the stat.

That would get you 3 3 4 4 4 3 - 21 as opposed to 23, and not really good at anything, and no worse at anything than a plain Sphynx cat. :/

Alright, then I'll do a point buy system. Thanks for the feedback.

I'm having a lot of trouble making this system. I find it hard to stay motivated and hard to balance. I like some of the ideas I came up with while making this system, and I'll be using them in later games that I run, but I won't be working on this anymore.

Considering it's been a month since anyone posted here, I don't think anybody'll blame you, mate. :p

Thanks for listening to us all, though!
