Stat ordering suggestion

Postby victory » Sat Jan 09, 2010 3:55 am

It seems that the ordering of stats is pretty arbitrary past the first 2 classes. It is also damn near impossible to roll decent stats for the last stat or two in the order.

I suggest that the ordering of stats beyond the first two be picked in random order. That way there is a hope in hell of actually getting decent stats for certain class orders.

i have no clue what u're talking about....

it is not near impossible to roll decent stats in the last 2 either

if decent to u is anything above 16, then perhaps

if you're rolling with tri tokens and dies, then perhaps

Guess I wasn't that clear.

I have a char with dex as the last stat in the order.
Using dozens of hexes, octs, tris, and dies, I've managed to
get a 13max in that stat a couple of times, but typically rerolls are around 8.

Meanwhile, I am seeing plenty of decent rolls for all of the other stats, but I don't really care about those stats for this char.

I'd be happy with a 15, but this will mean that I probably need to get 18/18/17/16/15 or something to pull that off. Maybe I can do that eventually, but it has been at least 50 tries so far, perhaps even 100.

I can't imagine doing random. It would take forever to roll decent stats. I don't think the sloth system is arbitrary. It's a matter of tradeoffs and sacrifices for choosing your class. How was it in the old 2nd ed dnd, you picked your own stat order, yah?

another suggestion

Postby Vixn » Sun Jan 10, 2010 5:41 pm

I have another suggestion: since group protects / protecto doesn't work now could it be replaced with another useful command that helps to see stats (hp/mana/moves) just for certain person, i.e.


group watch Zuzu
Ok.

Zuzu [Cl:4.33 795hp 675ma 219mv] 1.H

(instead of getting whole group)

Also it will be very useful if this line will be colored.

one more

Postby Vixn » Sun Jan 10, 2010 5:53 pm

And one more thing for today. Even if I use consice mode I still get those lines for people leaving room and folowing the leader that is useless. But it hurts if group's big enough and those lines cover half of the screen. Would you be so generous to redesign those lines in one line i.e. 'Toxis leaves north with group of people' at least just for concise mode. It would really help to play in groups.

Thanks in advance! :P
