Crom, Kobold King @vahnj@awoo.space

@SamIO most common number combination on 2d6

i really like numenara's idea of your stats also being your health pool but it felt too weak in practice

i feel like yanking it up towards d&d specs while also trimming down the categories of damage helps make it feel less overwhelming

i also feel like 3d6k2 is a neat target and works better with an advantage/disadvantage system than just rolling 2d20k2

i know some people like 3d6 as a replacement for d20 but i find it *too* centered a bell curve, so

anyway that's as far as i got

also as far as magic goes i definitely want there to be a distinction between physical and personal magic - so like if you're a barbarian channeling your ancestors, your magic might be power and influence based, as opposed to a paladin's magic which would be fortitude and bravery

as far as skills go, i want the mechanisms of skills to be sort of a specific focus on a stat, something similar to 5e but with more characteristic bonuses than just "you gain your proficiency to the skill"

oh i didn't explain

for challenges, you take the rank of the challenge and add 7

this includes for targeting an enemy or defending against their attack

i haven't super nailed down what the feel should be for pvp; probably just an opposed roll with stat bonuses totaled together.

i also want the advantage/disadvantage system to be in there

damage is focused around physical vs. personality stats, split evenly based upon what's hit

damage is dealt based upon the aspect of your attack

i haven't drilled into the skill system yet

think i've got a tl;dr set of rules for the system i'm thinking about

power, agility, fortitude, bravery, cunning, influence

you also have separate extra stats in offense/defense to portray your combat style

rolls are 2d6+stat against challenges, 2d6+stat you're attacking+offense if you're making an offensive action, 2d6+stat you're defending with+defense if you're being attacked.

every weapon has one physical and one mental stat it targets

@JTE@the.resize.club daww

@Axi it was okay but the gm was kind of a dick who i ended up stopping being friends with eventually

it's fun to be a bunch of kobolds trying to scrabble past one another though XD

i played a trap-setting class, i think there's a rogue archetype that gets access to ranger traps or something. it was really great

@Axi all kobold campaigns are great

i've never got to run one but i got to play an all-kobold one-shot once

@JTE@the.resize.club this was the first kobold i played

the best part is screaming "WHEEEEE" at the table and it's perfectly normal and accepted

@Stephen_Stone why not both

Petphrase: "Tralala"

@squinky wow what the heck i just thought about it today on the bus because someone said it on animal crossing!!

@witchfynder_finder the only humanoid race that can do it iirc?

oh no https://awoo.space/media/641sqFWIEMcUmr--3zo https://awoo.space/media/oFJo2-6MdE2DMU4L0Xc

@witchfynder_finder to be fair PunPun requires a very lot of DM fiat

@witchfynder_finder goblins: treasure buddies

"but crom, kobolds are weak"

my friend.

that's half the fun.

the other half is breaking the game with min-maxing shenanigans for making kobolds weak
