Poll: Points column on Universal Chart?
(1 viewing) (1) Guest
The way I hope to run this is a separate thread for each chapter, or if necessary subchapter of the rules, hashing out each one until we get it right. If you are just joining, do not feel obligated to read every post in every thread.

I am designing this for you, but I will on occasion be intractable about changes someone is pushing for. But if I'm flat out wrong, make me see why I'm wrong. One thing that will not change is that EABA is supposed to be a general system. Anything specific enough that it only applies to a specific gameworld should be restricted to that gameworld's setting book.

Should I keep the column there for backwards compatibility, or assume that anyone who needs it already has EABA v1 and use the space for something else?
It burns! It burns like hygiene!

My honest opinion says lose it. The UC should be for instantly, frequently useful data that has an immediate effect on game people.

People needing conversion data can look it up. You may wish to add a handy list of V1 points costs for them in the rulesbook.

Without even trying I can come up with a more useful column for the UC. Let's see... How about a general damage guideline? It might list various sources of damage for the GM to look up in a hurry for a quick guide. It might have entries like ".22 pistol, 9mm pistol, .44 magnum pistol, 5.56mm AR, hand grenade, tyrannosaur bite, average car at 50 MPH, typical lightning bolt, hellfire missile, 500 lb blockbuster, hiroshima bomb, one megaton nuke."

That's just ONE idea I had without even trying.
I am Death. Death the Avenger, purger of sins. Death the Merciful, purifier of souls. Those who considered me gone, think again, Those who laughed and mocked me, be afraid. I am returned, and this time Judgement will not be denied, for my name is Death, and I have come to Judge you.
