This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Oh, made one more change: when travel rules come into effect (which they won't do for the current playtesting phase), CON - or whatever ends up being the physical resistance stat - will soak up weariness and hunger etc., but a lot of systems have something that soaks up damage in combat as well. There are a number of ways of doing this on the market, but I've opted to go with STR influencing Hit Points, as follows:

STR 5-6                 STR 3-4         STR 1-2    Health
25 HP                    20 HP            15 HP       Full health
12-24 HP               10-19 HP       8-14         Struggling (-1 to bolded stats)
6-11 HP                 5-9 HP          4-7 HP      Weak (-2 to bolded stats)
1-5                        1-4 HP          1-3 HP      Unconscious
0 HP                      0 HP             0 HP         Dead

[Sorry, I don't know how to insert tables]

I've also rearranged the sections on the character sheet, so now all the fluff is on the front, and all the crunch is on the back. Previously, Hit Points was on the front along with Personal info, Traits and Objectives, and Personality and background was under the stat block. I think the way I have it now is more intuitive. Ok, as you were...
