RPGs - Builder's Guide 5

The challenge: a role must be versatile. It should allow different types of characters, each of which can interact effectively with each other. However, game balance alone is not the only difficulty in a game versatile. The fifth challenge of creating an RPG comes into play: the challenge of consistency of play.

Although players like variety, the fact that a system of role-playing game in general,impose a degree of functionality for the rules. expertise available, at what level is the power of people to do certain things, and so on. The game is consistency, the opportunity for players who know the rules, generally provide for the basic rules of the game as individual as a whole with the interaction.

RPG shows its consistency in different ways. Character is power, including the head. Although one could say that any opponent can be dangerous, aCharacter, which can easily take a dragon adult should not be a street kid with a knife into something that resembles even begin to fear a fair fight. A character that is a rare error and a thin spot murderess master should be little difficulty in finding a child afraid to be hidden under a table. Mitigating circumstances may be true - if the warrior is asleep or the Scout is not even the attention to its environment, for example - but in general the characters of a certain Power level should always be on the benefits of this level.

The game rules and basic standards for the design of nature are important. If the design rules monsters and villains other than the characters, leads to inconsistencies. A single group can be directed character limit options by gender or level of power (you can not play just an old dragon, if history is for low-level adventurers). However, this is the prerogative of the group. If the> Game applies to the limits, inhibits the variety and consistency, because now the game changes, either short or overwhelmed, the characters played relative to the competition they face.

The risk: a play of contrast is greater than normal risk of a game disturbed the same rules apply. Apply to all situations. If they do not, you create a loophole to exploit. One might think that with the characters of lower powersome advantages (Beginner's Luck, perhaps) stronger opponent a lot, but all this is doing on the value decreased power of character and undermine the cohesion of the game. If the characters of different levels of your RPG is, should all be advantages over the less experience people have.

An inconsistent game also prevents players fully understand the rules of the game as an overview. You need to learn to prepare every detailactually for a game. Certainly this level of preparation and often commendable tactically valuable in every case but should not be a prerequisite. A role is just that - a game. The moment is that there is more work than fun, it ceases to be successful, no matter how varied and balanced can be.

A role play is often inconsistent players believe that in reality has no control over the course of history, always a bad thing. As is known inprevious article, if the players wanted a passive spectator story takes place around them, able to read a book or watching a movie. Inconsistency limits the ability of the player to make rational decisions, because there are always one or the other rule changes, which throws them away. This example can apply only in extreme cases of disagreement, but it remains to note an important point.

Inconsistency does not always weaken the players, though. It also threatens the balance of loopholes. In aRPG inconsistent, certain things follow different rules, and some of these rules may be more or less favorable than others. A smart player will be the announcement options, and learn to play as many as possible to create a more powerful nature much intended.

The solution: The reason why I still use the preferences QoTR itself, because it dissolves so many of these challenges and. If all the characters, players and refereessimilarly, follow the same rules for character design, have the same availability of skills and gain the same advantages and limitations of their decisions, then the game maintains coherence.

The preferential system not only helps the consistency, the rules allowing the same working conditions but also by players to choose their skills, regardless of the font. A magician can be stealthy and resistant to damage - Necromancer, Magician of nature and the land / air Elementalist all appropriate easily into this category. A warrior can attack multiple enemies at once with rapid weapon kata. A thief can be cured with herbal potions or stolen devices with the same realization that used to produce deadly poisons produced. In this way, coherence actually improved the variety, rather than against them.

Consistency Game allows players to rules, the best of a role to encompass all, and the ability to use them effectively. An inconsistent> Game is in danger of being overwhelmed or short-change players because of loopholes and unforeseen needs. Using the same rules for all characters, games and keeps consistency is also the possibility of improved varieties, without balance of play.
