Attribute + Skill
|
||
|
|
=================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Theory
|
||
|
|
------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Everything is two things: An attribute, plus a Skill.
|
||
|
|
They combine in different ways.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
| Strength | Dexterity | Speed | Intelligence | Wits | Charisma |
|
||
|
|
|:--------:|:--------:|:--------:|:--------:|:--------:|:--------:|
|
||
|
|
| Academics | Orating to a massive crowd | Forgery | Courier Runs | Recalling facts | Resisting an enchantment spell | Storytelling |
|
||
|
|
| Athletics | Lifting heavy loads | Climbing | Sprinting | Finding the easiest route to climb | Identifying optimal climbing conditions | Stage acrobatics |
|
||
|
|
| Deceit | Intimidation | Feigning an injury | Spreading a rumour across an entire town | Crafting a plausible lie | Making a quick excuse | Implausible lies |
|
||
|
|
| Stealth | Hiding in a hay bail | Moving quietly | Escaping into a crowd | Identifying the best hiding spot | Quickly hiding | Slipping into a party uninvited |
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
None of this should ever be hard coded.
|
||
|
|
The programmer should - at any point - decide that a creature's `X + Y` will affect how the environment responds.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For the most part, this will be a simple comparison.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```pseudo code
|
||
|
|
if ( Strength + Wyldcrafting > 3 ) {
|
||
|
|
self.pickup(object)
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Application
|
||
|
|
-----------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Within the game, the main combinations will probably be:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- **Running**: Speed + Athletics
|
||
|
|
- **Gathering**: Dexterity + Wyldcrafting
|
||
|
|
- **Swimming**: Speed + Seafaring
