Hi! I have been lurking the forums for a while now, and my current DF fort is FPS heavy (~5FPS), my Steam account is messed up and I am sufficiently bored enough to start a forum game using AsciiDraw.
anyone can join but I think 6 people will be enough. the game is influenced by DF and in a futuristic setting.
DeathGrip RPG

You actually get 20 points.
-
Humans: None, +10 statpoints
Woah woah woah, wait, WHAT? This is way over powered. If every race who gets a bonus in certain stats gets an equal penalty in others, why should a race with no penalties receive a bonus?
-
Nah. I read it wrong too, it's worded oddly.
Notice that all races get +0 total base points.
Edit - Wait, dwarves get slightly more points.
Question: Are negative points remembered and counted against on level-ups?

If you think anything is overpowered or whatever just say. suggestions are welcomed.
The human bonus is meant to represent how in most other games humans are the 'exells at nothing, but can do most things' race.
The new players will be introduced gradualy in a story-quest(a quick one of course).
I'll add the other players and get working on the next picture.
Nirur Torir, stats may not go below 0 unless it's a disease or poison (Burden,Slow or whatever)
HUMAN CHARACTERS: you do not get 20 points, only +5 (now), to choose as you see fit.please modify your characters accordingly.
Also, if no one got it, the 'P' next to the classes means 'Playable'

Tekkud can see the alleyway, the Topside staircase.
Also, I changed the walls to 'rough stone'-it was easier than doing all those corners ect.

Also, if stats can't start below 0, then the Elf has exactly one stat combination possible. He has to spend his 10 points on the two stats that start at -5, to get them to zero.
The Goblin and Dwarf have more possibilities but they're in sort of the same boat.
What if you choose zero speed? Does that mean you can't move anywhere?

I understood you were going with that outlook for Humans, but (in my opinion), you're implementing it wrong. Currently, you're giving humans a 50% extra stats without any sort of penalty, whereas the other races gets an equal (or almost equal) penalty for every bonus they receive. In this way, humans can be as strong as a goblin, and at the same time have a lot more brains than them. In short: You're making humans better than everyone else, which was far from what you had intended.
I would have given humans no bonus to stats, no penalties to stats, and no extra stat points. BUT, this is your game, so i can't tell you what to do. I can only tell you to consider it.
...and yeah, i guess i'm still kinda naggy even if you DID try to do something about it. I'll stop from now, and leave it in your hands.
-
oops...
even with a -5 modifier your stats cannot go below zero.
changing the penalty modifiers now to -5 max total- should make it easier.
to balance out the humans they must have -5 to penalties of their choice.
thanks for the advice myroc.
also 0 speed just means you can only do 1 thing per turn.
