That is a very interesting idea. We could call it 'insurance', have it start really low - thinking 0 or 5 and allow players to put some of their starting stat points into it if they wanted. This is an interesting idea. What do other people think about it? I was thinking of going the other way and tying the "insurance" idea into the stat that currently does zero things after character creation though. (Sanity) Essence is a good idea too though to make it more useful, but at minus 10 after the death penalty, getting jack shit if you don't have 13+when you die is too steep. What if it was Essence/2? |

What if it was Essence/2? Interesting though I'm thinking it won't increase the interest in initially getting it (at all) it might be something. Pondering. |

I'll point out my original suggestion or as some sort of bonus based on the stats (e.g. stat/4, so 12 Essence is 13 to start but 3 coming back) |

Do you still have your Englishman filter on? I've warned you about that.

Do you still have your Englishman filter on? I've warned you about that. That could be it. Hum. I guess since ESS will never be popular for beginnings (unless someone is making a new character to hang out with a group of sorceress PC's) the question should be 'What is the right amount of POZ to start someone with who has horribly died probably due to ineptitude?' Then, we can figure out the dividing number. Also, I'm thinking that even without giving free skills for learning, it's still a really useful stat to have at the beginning. Rather than give out some pittance (as once you start the game wala, that's your new base in most things) I can KISS and just have it as is. Starting sanity and HP are already of interest to most PC's so those stats I'm not worried about. |

What if starting poz were tied to ESS.
Hum. That is an interesting fucking thought right there.
A very interesting thought.
You may have outdone yourself.
What do other people think about this?

OK - so two votes for this direction. I'd be curious as to what Travis and Pete think. I'm thinking 'we gots a winner' here. |

That could be it. Maybe you're just typing too fast.
