Is D&D really due that much credit for
establishing the so called 'standard' for
RPGS? And what types of stats are you
speaking about? Dexterity, Hp, Mp and
magick, Skill, Agility, etc...
Okay...I only have three types of stats,
Ap, Attack and Magikal Aptitude. How many
types of stats are in a D&D game? Six?
Eight? I prefer to keep it simple...
And I'm not going to mess with the 'character
has to act in a role or certain way' state
of mind because that only limits the game.
For creating characters, I made my own
custom system.

And if that isn't original, then I'll be damned...

I think that's mostly established already...if
it's being discussed in a lego forum, and
involves the MM project, I don't see why anyone
would think otherwise. I don't intend for this
to drift off topic when it comes to lego.

Yes, we're brainstorming most of the health
schematics, but I believe the armor point
system is most fair. I'm not sure why you
suggested calling it DC when I wrote AP
earlier. (conflict of interest? Or just a
misintrepretation of how to phrase health?)

Not exactly set in stone. If the community
decided to utilize a new damage system, I
would easily change it on the DraKen
*advanced* [1] page. But with my private
project, I am very defensive towards
changing it for the sake of acceptance,
or whatnot. (I remember when I was
pressured not to call it an RPG...)
Everything's so technical these days
...sheesh.
[1] DraKen Advanced is the combat extension
of Uldeseen realm. Normal DraKen is not an
RPG unless the player decided to elect a GM.
(and rules are variable.)
Speaking of online gaming, how would it be
possible to implement the combat function
into all of this? Should the moderator simply
act on supposition when it comes to the
character values?

Don't be so modest :)
