User:Cedric/Power Equation
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:
- 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
- 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.
