It could also work for PC advancement. After X, gain a d8 or d10 that players can crack however they want for new traits.<br /><br />I also like the Best Friends, and relative/semantic stats. Though so far, I can't think of good uses for the secrec-stats idea. It seems like it'd work well for antagonistic play, perhaps something like DBZ where pulling out surprise abilities is the central theme. <br /><br />Secret stats paired with cracking dice could be interesting, but that could also get into record-keeping fiddliness.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1678761812929125529.post-58474719537786678502011-04-12T12:35:30.300-04:002011-04-12T12:35:30.300-04:00I found myself assigning multiple d4s depending on...I found myself assigning multiple d4s depending on how much past the d6 baseline a character goes. So a boxer d6 might be a dirty fighting d8 boxer with a glass jaw d4. Or those ex-special forces d10 thugs might be mercenary d4 and overconfident d4.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12098545506479026723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1678761812929125529.post-38923996080226687042011-04-12T12:22:39.644-04:002011-04-12T12:22:39.644-04:00The Best Friend concept sounds interesting.
