Guess i am overwhelmed by the desire to start a campaign now...

Geth, do i use Fate(1) or Marvel Heroic Roleplaying (2) for my campaign?

Geth roll 1d2

4d6k3 is standard

I had a 19 wis and an 18 int so obv I'm right

4d6k3 seems to be the sweet spot. 3d6 keeps you from being mentally disabled and would also enforce a playstyle of appreciating ever minor edge you get in the game (which I can appreciate).

Point buy to me lets me play what I want to play. If I'm doing an ability score roll to get into a game, I'm gonna roll and THEN pick the class. But there's no way I'm gonna pick a class, roll, and end up not being suited to it. It won't be a fun game.

No no no, that's not how you roll for dick Length...

Let me dig up my FATAL rulebook, i'll show you how to do it properly.

I actually really like the old school rolling method because it is entertaining to have your stats determine the class you pick, and to have to mitigate hilarious deficiencies that are the result of dumb luck.

Geth roll 3d6 for STR
Geth roll 3d6 for DEX
Geth roll 3d6 for CON
Geth roll 3d6 for INT
Geth roll 3d6 for WIS
Geth roll 3d6 for CHA

I don't think you can hit anything with a dex of 3 except maybe your own leg

nah, to-hit is usually based on strength. Like, in 3rd/3.5 you had to take a feat that let you use dex instead of str to check if you hit. Dex was just for dodging as far as hit calculations go.

oh

I haven't played a D&D based game since baldur's gate probably

I think that was on 2nd edition rules, with thac0 and stuff

I thought str was damage with a melee weapon, and dex was likelihood to hit

Going by the industry thread, Dennis Dyack started a second Kickstarter to fund his new game, the same game the first Kickstarter is still funding.

Yah, let me do the standard roll and see what I get.

Geth roll 4d6k3 for STR
Geth roll 4d6k3 for DEX
Geth roll 4d6k3 for CON
Geth roll 4d6k3 for INT
Geth roll 4d6k3 for WIS
Geth roll 4d6k3 for CHA

Thac0 is based entirely on your character class so your ability scores basically matter not a whit when it comes to being able to hit dudes.

that is the joke of ability scores in pre-3rd edition D&D. only the really extreme ones (like, 3s and 18s, basically) change the game noticeably at all.

All this dicerollan is making me want to start an RPG campaign...

Roll a will save to resist!

Good idea... How do i do that, again? roll a d20 and it has to be higher than, say, 10?

DC 15.

Remember to add your will modifier.

Right, gotcha.

My will modifier is probably, like, -1 in this case...

Geth, roll 1d20-1 for a will save, DC 15.

Dex affects armour class and attack rolls with missile weapons, and various thief percentage skills

Strength is a way better stat, affecting to hit rolls, damage rolls, opening doors and chests, feats of strength, lifting limits, etc.

I remember there was a weird one for STR (?) that was like 18/00 between 18 and 19

and I think 19 and above was demi-god level of power?

there was a dwarf in the game who started out with a really high CON and I think you could pump it a bit with items or books or something, and when he hit 19 or 20 he started regenerating hitpoints

The real way to roll everything is always extremely insane and overcomplicated.
