In our FC we have summoners, warriors, scholars, astrologians, an engineer and a bartender to name a few. Whatever your character does, you'll most likely be able to put a combat sheet together no problem.Â(02-11-2016, 04:12 PM)Valence Wrote: Out of curiosity, how does the system deal with more or less advanced characters? How does it work with novices or grizzled characters?
I spent a lot of time on this, trying to figure out what would be best to handle this. Unfortunately there will always be drama and arguments on the subject of who is better than who and all that, so I thought the best way is to leave everything rather equal, no levels, nothing like that. If a person wants to play a weaker character, than can choose not to have abilities or actions in a list, choose not to use stances, choose to pick freelancer and not take all the commands/traits they are allowed. They can even nerf their stats lower if they would like.
Really this is up to the players, as I cannot control what people do, only suggest what would be best.
I personally use it as a tool to reflect what my character is capable of, and when I make my combat sheet I think about what my character might learn in the future, so those abilites are available to me, but I don't RP them or use them in combat until I've reached that point in the storyline.
