User:Cedric/Power Equation

From D&D Wiki

Jump to: navigation, search

The power equation governs the effect of every use of power (force, intimidation, intelligence, cleverness, persuasion, etc.) in the game universe.

The main philosophy is two-fold:

  1. individual power: as an ability score goes towards its maximum from the specialization of the individual, a exponential benefit derives from its decreasing probability, and
  2. divine powers: these powers permeate any use of force in the universe. As the gods trust characters below, exponential benefits can be expected.

(dice or luck of the goddess)(individual)(tools)(divine)(condition)

  • Level of players
  • simplified POWER = health% * (ability_score/10)2 or
  • POWER = goddess_trust(LVL) * (ability_score/10)(1+god_trust_of_your_ability)

Individual:

  • health %-age
  • condition: exhuasted, blind, paralized
  • ability score
  • proficiency

POWER = goddess_trust(LVL) * (Ability_Score/10)^(god_trust_of_ability+1) * (abilty_Score2/10)^(godtrustofability+1)(?)...

Trust might be arranged to fit in the interval [-1, 1]. So that a god somewhere could interact (even if you don't worship them) through a negative trust score. If put in this range [-1,1], it nullfies the ability in equation (makes it all equal to 1 as a factor).

the God_trust works like this: Each ability score gets a trust score from the god(s) above. The AllthatIS might trust your INT 50%, your STR 20%, and your use of WIS %40, then your exponent is

Tools

  • dice for the action
  • condition
  • weight or difficulty of use
  • possibly extra random die for the tools relationship to everything else.


Divine:

  • trust score
  • alive?
  • luck from the goddess
  • the order of the universe (origin of difficulty)

  • YANG: The (god"s) affects things through the choice of what attribute to hold dominant or a race (the yin side must chose which is counter-balanced and reduced)
  • YIN: The goddess affects things through pairing which attribute is subordinate to a vocation's dominant attribute. STR is dominant say, then what is it`s companion trait. The yin (goddess?) side of the universe might make it DEX or CON or WIS, even.
