D&D (2024) replacing Constitution with Energy

[le Redoutable]

I was using a system called GAYCOP ( in french , translated to COYTWA )

with
Creator
Orator
Yoghi
Thinker
Warrior
Acrobat

the problem was that Yoghi should refer to Energy and in D&D there was only CON to get compatible;
so, I relabelled the six Paths ( COYTWA ) to their equivalent in D&D,
and, by pure geniousness I converted CON to Energy;

because we marry two stats to produce a Class,
Energy can be used with 5 stats,
that will create 5 spellcasting classes :

IxE : Magic-User
CxE : Bard
ExW : Priest
ExS : Druid ( ?? )
ExD : Illusionist

COYTWA
ICEWSD

Intelligence <== Creator
Charisma <== Orator
Energy <== Yoghi
Wisdom <== Thinker
Strength <== Warrior
Dexterity <== Acrobat

• IxC Hunter
• IxE Magic-User
• IxW Ruler
• IxS Cook
• IxD Ranger
• CxE Bard
• CxW Merchant
• CxS Paladin
• CxD Ninja
• ExW Priest
• ExS Druid
• ExD Illusionist
• WxS Brute
• WxD Monk
• SxD Champion

in my system, stats ( ICEWSD ) range from 1 to 8
8 Legendary
7 Epic
6 Superb
5 Excellent
4 Good
3 Typical
2 Poor
1 Feeble

the highest value from your 6 stats provides your BASE

to generate a Class Level you multiply two stats
( like in a Magic-User = Intelligence x Energy )

BASE --- class maximum level
2 ----------> 3
3 ----------> 6
4 ----------> 9
5 ----------> 14
6 ----------> 18
7 ----------> 25
8 ----------> 30

there is something called depreciation that I will explain later;

BASES ?

say you use BASE 2, then by multiplying 2 stats you can obtain
1x1
1x2
2x2
the value of 3 doesn't exist by multiplying two paths with a value of 1 or 2 ( the max value in BASE 2 ) so 2x2 is depreciated to a value of 3


BASE 4
1 ---- 1
2 ---- 2
3 ---- 3
4 ---- 4
5 ---- 6
6 ---- 8
7 ---- 9
8 ---- 12
9 ---- 16

BASE 5
1 ----- 1
2 ----- 2
3 ----- 3
4 ----- 4
5 ----- 5
6 ----- 6
7 ----- 8
8 ----- 9
9 ----- 10
10 -- 12
11 -- 15
12 -- 16
13 -- 20
14 -- 25

BASE 6
1 ---- 1
2 ---- 2
3 ---- 3
4 ---- 4
5 ---- 5
6 ---- 6
7 ---- 8
8 ---- 9
9 ---- 10
10 -- 12
11 -- 15
12 -- 16
13 -- 18
14 -- 20
15 -- 24
16 -- 25
17 -- 30
18 -- 36

Gay cop?

 

[le Redoutable]

upon reaching a Class Level of 8x8=30 you reach Holyness
Saints cease progressing and are controlled by God
so, you can have only 1 stat at level ( or perhaps I should call it Rank Level ) 8
upon reaching a second 8 you reach Holyness

 

[le Redoutable]

ah, something to add :
because no Class can have a value of 1 or 2,
if you select a value of 1 for a Stat, then none of the others stats can be of less value than 3 ( otherwise one of your skills if given a value of 2 would generate a 1x2=2 which is not permitted )

 

[le Redoutable]

then, to add some flavours to the game,
you can rule that there are costs to buy the Stats Ranks;
Stat Rank --- cost
1 ----------------- 1
2 ----------------- 4
3 ----------------- 9
4 ----------------- 16
5 ----------------- 25
6 ----------------- 36
7 ----------------- 49
8 ----------------- 64

now, you reach Holyness when you climb to one Class at level 30 ( that is to say, bearing two Stats at Rank 8 )
Saints stop progressing and they become npcs, at the service of God

so, the range between the shortest way to holyness and the longuest way is:

shortest : 222288 ( cost 4+4+4+4+64+64 => 144 )
133388 ( cost 1+9+9+9+64+64 => 156 )

longuest : 777788 ( cost 49+49+49+49+64+64 => 324 )

minimum starting level : 222222 ( cost 4+4+4+4+4+4 => 24 )
or 133333 ( cost 1+9+9+9+9+9 => 46 )

Global Level ---- Stats Development points to get spent
1 ---------------------- 1
2 ---------------------- 4
3 ---------------------- 9
4 ---------------------- 16
5 ---------------------- 25
6 ---------------------- 36
7 ---------------------- 49
8 ---------------------- 64
9 ---------------------- 81
10 -------------------- 100
11 -------------------- 121
12 -------------------- 144
13 -------------------- 169
14 -------------------- 196
15 -------------------- 225
16 -------------------- 256
17 -------------------- 289
18 -------------------- 324

Coït-Wa. Vraiment?

Tu réalises que la traduction veut dire Policier Gay (Gay Cop)? Pas très 'pur genious'. Si tu crées un système essai au moins de faire en sorte que l'acronyme ne soit pas risible au premier coup d'oeil.
