Mechanics (Gold and Phase System)

[quadz08]

It's a shitty RP system where everyone starts at 'full' though. There needs to be some kind of restriction so that characters that start at lower levels and work their way up end up being better than 'starting' level 8 characters.

Is it feasible to just give everyone 5 points every time they up a level after the beginning of the game, rather than 4?

That depends on how well-trained and well-exercised, etc., said old codger is.

Well, then you run into the issue of a party advancing together. If it's done where an "elf stage" is 25 years but a "human stage" is 5, then in 25 years, your humans will have gained 4 extra phases of your elven characters.

This seems like it is not ideal.

I think we should work under the assumption that our money is, for the most part, weightless. Things would just get silly at that level.

A dozen albino falcons. GET IT RIGHT

Because they sell so many swords, crossbows, and wizard's staves in modern-day America. >_>

I like you.

I honestly feel like having money is kind of silly...

I mean, we have a game mod for a reason, right? "I want to buy this mid-level sword" Moderator uses his brain and goes "you don't have enough money." We don't need to create a fully functioning economy.

I think that the fewer moving parts we have in the game, the better, as a general rule. That may just be my inexperience talking, though.
