Ai, I only realised the problem with skill halving when I read about the terrible brokeness of it here. It's a biggy.
Movement rate? Sounds like it needs a good tweaking (at least that's an easy one to fix!)
Personally I'm worried about the high skill levels to begin with. Clearly some part of character generation needs to go, but which?
So fix it.![]()
Well he was asking advice with the "what part needs to go bit"?
HyrumOWC said:Off the top of my head you could do the following:
1. Don't allow freebie points to be spent on skills gained from profession/culture. (Harsh, but doable)
2. Limit the number of freebie points to 75, or 50. (This is very doable, and doesn't "break" anything.)
3. Don't allow more than 10 or 20 freebie points to be spent in any basic skill. (Again, easy to implement)
I'd reccomend something along the lines of option 2 and 3 combined. I am looking at the "advanced character rules" and thinking of using them in a reverse fashion, like so:.
Green Characters
Free Skill Points: A green character recieves 50 free skill points and individual skills may benefit from a maximum of 10 free skill points.
You might want to halve the starting money, but I wouldn't.
HyrumOWC said:The beauty of MRQ is how modular it is. Unlike d20, you can add and subtract bits without bringing the whole house of cards down.
Hyrum.
Only if the house doesn't have much of a foundation. A lot of thing in RQ are interrelated and changing one thing can have lots of ramifications. Pretty much all the "bugs" that exisist in MRQ are due to Mongoose taking a modular approach rather than an integrated apporach. The whole "revised" spell descriptions are good examples of that. Fireblade went from being an powerful offenseive spell, to something you use to tone down a greataxe or greatsword. THat would make a bit difference of who learns it and why.
So yeah, yuo can still bring the house down. You just might not see it until it collaspes on you.
