While your charts are good for PCs, it has the side-effect that now you have TWO different set-ups for chargen...one for PCs and one for NPCs. I think the original method (arbitrary weirdness aside) was more efficient.<br /><br />Still...nice work.<br />: )JBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08532311924539491087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7652921.post-74727254558171170952011-06-04T08:26:16.560-05:002011-06-04T08:26:16.560-05:00Being the lazy sort, instead of working up new cha...Being the lazy sort, instead of working up new charts for the PCs, I would just let them flip the one's and ten's dice during character creation so as to give them higher rolls (i.e. if you rolled a 35 on Strength or whatever, it now becomes a 53). That said, I don't have the original charts accessible at the moment, so I'm not certain how much of a difference that would make.Knightskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08397391662639446678noreply@blogger.com
