New Stats

[m_1512]

I have an idea of implementing 2 more stats.

One would be a counter to strength. That is skill to dodge attacks, operate complicated weapons like crossbows etc. Just thinking what to call it.

Second would be subterfuge. The skill of a person to do shady and sneaky things. This should affect rolls when the character indulges in thievery or assassinations.

Dexterity?

Actually if you want they could both come under Dexterity with subterfuge actions taking intelligence into account as a modifier.

[Gandalfus]

Agility or dexterity would be good.

[m_1512]

Both are quite separate actually. Subterfuge should allow a person to sneak around and up to people with detection. Oh and both will be skill point based stats.

On about this one. Subterfuge can stay as it is.

Well dodging would be Agility, using a Crossbow would be Dexterity. You have to use one name or the other though, no point in having two stats that are overly specialized. Having Subterfuge as it's own stat makes sense.

[m_1512]

How about putting both things in the same stat -> subterfuge?

[Narf]

What about calling it finesse? It require finesse to both fire a crossbow and to pickpocket an individual.

[Gandalfus]

Finesse? More like being sneaky.

[m_1512]

So, in a way I take it that you all agree to this new stat. But the question remains, what do we call it.

[Narf]

certainly

[m_1512]

Any more idea? We need something fast.

[Gandalfus]

Subterfuge and dexterity would work great.

[Lucius Malfoy]

I do not support new stats. I feel we have enough stats. We could just add in new descriptions I feel instead of just a whole new stat.

[m_1512]

Intelligence cannot be helpful to sneak up to people.

[Gandalfus]

BRAIN POWER.

[m_1512]

Lol, but this is to be seriously decided and fast.
Do we need a stat from sneaking and assassinations?

[Gandalfus]

I would say so.

[Jokern]

I agree, subterfuge should be a stat.

Poll added. To be decided by tomorrow.
