Re: OOC # 36
::chuckles:: I have to say this about the Dice rolls. I have 6 PCs in so far, so let me mention this, especially for the newer characters.
all my games, characters start out, reasonably effective as they have a 'civie base' and you add you points, i add spheres and they you're off to grow your PC.
Keep in mind, some MAjor NPCs and some PCs have been around for RL years, and have clocked up alot Bonuses.
All the games i have played in, as a player, the ones i enjoyed the most were the games that you built your PC up.
Newer PCs will struggle sometimes, RP helps out there. But there is no way to predetermine certain outcomes. That goes for anything.
Shadow has lost some tunnel runs, because of very bad Rolls( or Very good rolls , by who beat him)..depending on what actions are going on RP can be that he flat out got beat, or there was something in recruits that made him slow down and yell..ect.
so? don't get discouraged, the Dice are there to help randomize the game..and? we used 4 abilities instead of 3 this time, so it is a bit harder.
