Starting up a new bg1 rp game. Thinking about enforcing a 75 point limit on characters. It's easy to beat the game with 6 maxed out characters. And i think having a 75 point limit will make for more interesting characters rp wise as well. Forcing players to rp their stats. I already have a few players interested and if you are as well just post below. Thinking about playing Fridays or Saturdays. Mst ( Mountain standard time) 6pm-whenever. If Saturday possibly during the day.

    I think enforcing some sort of point limit is a great idea. I loved when I used to play D&D that the class I could pick was dependent on my stat rolls, and think introducing a limit would greatly support the game from an RP standpoint. Hopefully there wouldn't be any min/maxing to make up for any of it, as 75 can be low for most people (But sounds fun to me) If you are still looking for able bodied players, I should be free most Saturdays and can message you with my Skype name.

    I'll play if it's Saturday day time (which is Saturday night for me) but 6pm MST is too late for me. I'll keep an eye on and see what happens. :)

    I also agree that min/maxing should be discouraged. I would enforce a rule that no negative stat modifiers would be allowed, which means that the minimum ability scores would be STR 8, DEX 6, CON 7, INT 10, WIS 10, CHA 10. And maybe even forbid any 18's in any stat at level 1. I know many would claim that they want to "roleplay" a dumb or ugly character, but really they just want to max out the other scores.

    If you wanted to go a step further and really encourage RP characters then force everyone to be human. And use a difficulty setting other than "normal" because as we all know, "normal" really means "easy". The poor monsters already have enough of a disadvantage being controlled by the AI.

    I was thinking maybe we start in a few hours, depends when people want to play.. Minimum stat requirements sounds interesting. But playing as only human seems silly.

    Scratch that. We still need a few more people before we play.

    75 points might be a little low, it seems that's pretty much the lowest the game ever rolls. The average seems more like 80.

    I would play, are you still looking for other players?
  • DJUptonDJUpton Member Posts: 20
    75 points is the lowest the game roles but that's the point. And ya we need more people. Hopefully next Saturday we can have a full fledge game up.

    What do you guys think about a bit of a survival element to up the stakes even further, like if your character dies you have to roll up a new one (except bhaalspawn).

    New characters get auto leveled to match bhaalspawn experience and gear up to level of the rest of the party to keep it fair but gives everyone an oppertunity to swap personalities or have in character PVP and adds to the roleplaying drama. Just an idea!

    I think it would be OK to give players the option of rolling up a new character when they die, but I wouldn't want to force someone to do it if they can be raised and that would be their preference. I would require new characters to start at level 1, but that's just my opinion and I can go with whatever the group decides.

    I'm sorry guys but I'm going to have to drop out of this. I'm just not able to commit to being available to play regularly. Luckily the game hasn't started yet. Please go ahead and replace me with one of the folks waiting to play.

    I would like to join the party, I have never played this game in MP but I'm a quick learner. Also, by RP you guys mean role playing, right? If so, I have never done it in a game but do it sometimes in the shower or by myself lol.

    I'm available for the times posted.

    My Skype is squalltheonly.
