I have actually been considering a simple math system, one that allows the players to retain a decent level of autonomy, at least against mooks. Well, simple in execution, but long in explanation. I'd be more than willing to post it, if you'd like.

Swith: It's because you're so awesome. God himself refreshes the screen before he types just to see if Nightkill has written anything while he was off somewhere else.

Enh, I don't think it's that great of an idea. Creative control and autonomy are fun.

This is completely unnecessary.

It's incredibly difficult to quantify Lewis' powers, especially since his fighting methods are incredibly unconventional and consist entirely of him pissing his enemies off and being lucky as balls.

Ugh, just when I make up a good character that involves lots of confusing research on my part, and then I get math to do.

I also agree with this. And it helps prevent any sort of godmodding(Although you lot seem pretty good about never doing that) since you have ways to compare powers so characters forcibly have limits. But I can see Nat's reasoning.

If this turns into some dull, D&D type thing, I don't know if I'll stick around. Making this thing more realistic pretty much neuters the whole point of Laz existing in the first place.

It's OK, we all have terrible ideas sometimes.

Like, for example, Ende.

From a word to a word I was led to a word,
From a work to a work I was led to a work."
