Btw, I’ve seen your drawn cataclysms and I just have to say that they’re awesome.

NO. No no no no no.

If we add stat grinding then every character will turn out the same. It defeats the purpose.

Skills make up for low stats and can be grinded.

There’s no reason you should be able to grind stats, and there’s already a LOT of mutations and bionics that provide stat boosts.

I hate RPGs with squishy character design and/or unlimited ceilings, and I prefer an RPG like Fallout with (save for a +1 apiece to find) harder stats.

maybe for the stat-boosts some sort of medicine that raises a stat for maybe a few hours, but is addictive, gives an hour of worse stat afterwords, and can be really easy to overdose with. It could also be uber rare.

And attract bears.
Lots and lots of bears.

Like meth?
Or adrenaline?

And i think some sort of sleeper ambushing zombie would add a lot of emotion to the game like in: You enter the subways single stall bathroom, and there is a gross zombie corpse occupying it. Still you enter because you really need that toilet water and like an educated person close the stall door behind you. Suddenly, the zombie corpse springs to life and you get (almost) eaten.

Maybe you could possibly gain extra stats every X amount of days. (after Day X you wouldn’t gain anymore stats) example: Day 10 you gain +1 Strength, and day 20 you gain +1 perception.

StopSignal · 2013-09-23T01:49:30.000Z

Too much. You would become overpowered. And you could easily gain stats without doing anything.

If we want to do this, i could say… like… win an stat of STR when you passed 2 seasons lifting weights at least half hour every 2 days? It would be needed like… uff, a lot of hours! And it could still be overused, so… more or less… if you do weights for more than half hour you gain points to win an stat point, if you do more you start to “lose” the points to win an stat point. And if you do a lot you could harm you severely. And to win an stat point… how many points, if an hour is 60, would be needed to win the stat point? 6000? 30000? 60000?

Well, a method you could use to make it so you can’t become overpowered is making it so you have to maintain your stats after you get them. Keep working out, running, blahblahblah. If you don’t maintain them eventually they drop to your character’s defaults. Or lower, maybe. And the higher the stat is, the more work you need to maintain it, and the faster it decreases.

Nickboom · 2013-09-23T03:31:45.000Z

I personally think that stats should increase based off what you do over time and should feel normal. But randomly gaining stats is the worst idea for this game and frankly doesnt fit in. The best bet is to make it connect to what you do and have a arc thingy linked to it (low stats increase faster then high stats)

High Morale do that already

Hmm… not quite what I meant. By keeping your morale high you prevent a poor mood from lowering your stats, sure, but I meant that you could have stat training based off of what you’re doing in the game, and by training the stat enough per day you could increase it, but it would take a very large amount of work to raise the stat a single point, and you’d have to actively maintain that stat gain, or else it would drop down again.

This is really only necessary to do though if you decide that you have to increase stats… and I don’t really think that. It was just a suggestion.

I’ll agree this wasn’t the best idea. Just the only thing I could really come up with.

StopSignal · 2013-09-23T14:53:40.000Z

I would repost my response, but just look for it at the end of the first page. I also add that, if you do nothing, you lose points for gaining stat points, resulting in losing stat points until you have the default ones.

HS1342 · 2013-09-23T17:20:21.000Z

I wouldn’t like to get too stuck up on just this point but…
What if you made it possible to get stronger, but you can only get up to a level like, 14? And you make it take a shitload of time to get up even a little bit?
And we could add some rust to that too, but only to your initial level?

StopSignal · 2013-09-23T17:30:48.000Z

DAMMIT! Is that no one ever read my post! I already said that! Cmon!

EDIT: Sorry if i sound strong. Is that it looks like they are harassing me. TO be clear, i already had that idea, and described it. It would be cool to add something like that.
