Lloyd Dupont Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 As I am rounding up my Master of Orion custom BRP ruleset... (though, this is taking a hit, with Assassin Creed Valhalla and Cyberpunk 2077), I reflect that INT does not do enough for my liking... I just got an idea... that I share here for fine tuning feedback! Me think once for every x INT point (INT/3 i.e. once for every 3 INT ?) per.. day? game session? one could get a chance to upgrade a normal success to crit! They then roll again and get a crit if they succeed again... This way you need a combo of INT and good skill to use it, and hopefully INT/3 is not too big nor too small... What say you? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lloyd Dupont Posted December 16, 2020 Author Share Posted December 16, 2020 Better idea yet... I tied that to a progression system.. There is a Focus skill. Each 20% in focus grants 1 focus point, up to INT/3. Each focus point can be used once a day to get a crit (if a second roll is successful). Further I make this focus skill a Psilon racial skill. This way I achieve 3 good outcomes - Psilons have their own bad ass kill (like other races) - I have another sorta levelling reward - it nicely is low for most NPC, except if desired..

el_octogono Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 (edited) I like how it makes characteristics more relevant, in fact I'd do the same with every characteristic, but making every PC choose one as focus. So a social, high APP character can make real use of those additional points spent in the stat.

Lloyd Dupont Posted December 16, 2020 Author Share Posted December 16, 2020 Mmm.. on one hand I want to keep it on INT to make it better for Psilon On the other hand... I can see how this would be nice for APP and communication skills... mmm... gave me some food for thoughts... digesting.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
