I presume that someone could say prior to each roll which of the abilities that roll would be for.</i><br /><br />Or you do it Yahtzee style and declare after each roll but before the next one. For example, I want to roll a MU:<br /><br />I roll a 7 (and I want an MU) so I'll make that strength.<br /><br />Okay, now I roll a 14 so I'll make that CON.<br /><br />Next roll is a 12 so I'll make that WIS.<br /><br />Damn, 8, so that's DX.<br /><br />Okay, a 13...I want a higher IQ but I'll take it in case of another 8.<br /><br />Finally, now I get a 17 and all that's left is Charisma.<br /><br />Actually, I like that. There is a tension about taking a moderate value now versus holding out for something higher which could easily wind up with high dump stats :)Pulp Herbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02486803457210325703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4134750084087927747.post-50566674479292637602013-03-10T12:55:15.494-06:002013-03-10T12:55:15.494-06:00I remember various sheets (orange and so on) and m...I remember various sheets (orange and so on) and my brother made a custom one and had it copied at a local copy place, but a hand written notebook paper character seems to work better - put what you want where you want it and pay attention while writing. My second favorite is a simple notebook-like ready-made sheet without a lot of clutter.JD Nealhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04316006608698192630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4134750084087927747.post-35401785492703388672013-03-01T08:04:18.274-07:002013-03-01T08:04:18.274-07:00I have tons of those Steno notebooks filled with B...I have tons of those Steno notebooks filled with Borg-like character sheets dating back to 1983. phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17772369666883240848noreply@blogger.com
