Pathfinder Fate Points

Hero Points kan vara vad du letar efter.

Du bad om ödepoäng, hur är det med ... FATE-poäng? FATE-punktmekanikern är trivialt bärbar i Pathfinder; Vi har gjort det och använder det för många av våra kampanjer. Vår nuvarande Pathfinder FATE-punktsregler från vår kampanjblogg är:

FATE Aspects and FATE Points

Aspects! Please write 3 aspects for your character before you reach the gaming table, we will create 2 more for each character when we get together for the first session. The first three should be as follows:The first aspect should be a description of your character’s archetype, such as “Half-orc sorcerer in tune with nature’s fury”, “Physically perfectionist elven wizard”, or “Charming Sunderer”. Try to make sure your character’s core competency makes it into your first aspect.

The second aspect should describe your character’s trouble, the main weakness or stumbling block that keeps causing trouble for the character. It can be a personality trait that causes trouble for the character, or it can be something bad that just keeps happening to him for some inexplicable reason. Examples: “Why did it have to be fairies?”, “Vengeful over hurt pride”, “Family Man”.

For the third aspect, think about what motivates your character, what shaped him to become who he is, and what pushed him to the life of an adventurer. The best aspects are ones that can be used both for or against your character. ex. “Must protect my friends at all costs”, “People are not always what they seem”, “I Heart Forbidden Lore”, “There must be some way I can find a profit from this…”

Each character will get 3 fate points. When you level up, they will be refreshed. You can get more fate points whenever your character suffers due to one of his aspects (depending on the situation, this could result in failed skill rolls, damage, or just social humiliation). Spending a fate point allows you to either reroll the d20 roll you just made, or add +4 to it, your choice, but you can only spend a fate point when one of your aspects applies to the roll you’re making. For instance, “I Heart Forbidden Lore” could help you if you’re doing research or trying to recall facts about some kind of demonic monster, but it wouldn’t help you on a to-hit roll against a goblin. Regardless of aspects, a fate point can always be spent to stabilize you if you’re dying.

Vi föredrar dem till actionpunkt typ mekanik, för om du ska spåra en resurs bör den ge dig en bra boost / spara din bacon inte en liten bonus.

Hero Points är intressanta. Men läser d20SRD, de är mer besläktade med WFRPs Fortune Points. Citera OP:

I don't mind what system it's imported from as long as it can support Pathfinder/d20

Integration / support av Fate Points från ett annat system är en trivial house rullande IMHO, så jag kommer att erbjuda upp Warhammer Fantasy Role Play, 2: a upplagan Fortune and Fate Points som ett alternativ.

Utan att citera hela regelboken i frågan representerar en Fate Point datorerna "cut above" och gudarna markerar dem för större saker. Fortune Points är mer besläktade med d20SRD Hero Points (gratis åtgärder, gratis omkastning, & c) och begränsas per spelupplevelse. Fortunepoängen per spelupplevelse motsvarar antalet Fate Points PC: n har. Om en ödepunkt spenderas, kommer antalet Fortune Points tillgängliga att falla i nästa session. Ödepunkter fungerar som OP-satsen efterlyser. Låt oss titta på RAW:

A Fate Point can be expended whenever a character is about to die in combat, through traps or accidents, as a result of poison or disease, or in any other circumstances. Instead of dying, the character expends a Fate Point and then the GM has to devise some way of ensuring that the character survives.

You may also allow players to use Fate Points to avoid being maimed. Many of the Critical Effects result in the loss of limbs, potentially crippling a favourite character. Using a Fate Point to avoid such debilitation is entirely appropriate.

Hur en GM: s Fate Points är också täckt:

When a character expends a Fate Point, it is up to the GM to come up with something that will prevent the character dying. No doubt the player in question will be full of helpful suggestions, but you should be careful to ensure that the character is not too much better off as a result of expending a Fate Point. The character should survive the situation, but that's it. It can sometimes be difficult to come up with a suitably tailored deus ex machina on the spur of the moment.

När de är borta är de borta. Men ... GM: er uppmanas att möjligen tillåta Fate Points att tilldelas för världsbesparande händelser:

If a character succeeds in staving off a great menace, a Fate Point may be awarded along with the usual Experience Points. The menace must be significant and it must be apparent that, but for the character’s action, an appalling disaster would have taken place. Don’t let any fast-talking players convince you that wiping out a couple of dozen cultists is the same thing.

och ödepoäng kan inte köpas. Någonsin.

I WFRP delas Fate Points från ett slumpmässigt bord vid laddningen baserat på ras. Detta är inte direkt tillämpligt på Pathfinder, men det finns eventuellt några konsekvenser. Människor är uppstigande, demi-människor i nedgång. Numret är aldrig större än 3 för människor, älvor kan aldrig ha mer än 2.

Det begränsade antalet spelbara raser i WFRP gör det till en hanterbar lista, men Pathfinder lista över spelbara raser kan göra det svårt att hantera. Jag kan föreslå att numret bestäms på ett medelvärde av möjlighetspoängen med hjälp av ett modifierat tabell 1-3 från kärnregeln, eventuellt capping den övre gränsen vid tre (3) och den nedre gränsen vid en (1). Där noll (0) eller ett negativt tal är närvarande, en (1) punkt. Tillåt tre (3) endast med i genomsnitt 17-18. Det här kan även återkopplas till befintliga tecken.

Jag bloggade om att använda öde och förmögenhet förra året: länk

Jag ska lägga till ett andra svar eftersom vi har flyttat från att använda FATE-poäng i våra Pathfinder-spel till ett enklare hjältepunktssystem. Det liknar något, men lite mer ström än Pathfinder APG-hjältepunktssystemet.

I min piratkampanj skinnas de som " Infamy Points ," Du kan enkelt vända det och göra dem "Hero Points" (bra) eller bara "Reputation Points" (värdeneutrala) genom att tweaking hur de uppnås.

Infamy Points

Using Infamy Points

Use an Infamy Point no more than once an encounter to:

Choose the result of any single roll. Attack, ability check, skill check, saving throw, caster level check, crit confirm...

Act out of initiative order. Move up to your usual speed now.

Get an additional standard action. Usable whenever during your turn.

Cast a bonus spell. Swap: You know but don’t have memorized today - uses a spell slot Fork: You have already cast today - doesn't use a spell slot

Declare that a weapon or spell attack missed you - anything that requires a hit roll.

Throw off an adverse condition Possessed, feared, paralyzed, charmed, entangled... For the rest of the encounter if it's a long term/permanent thing.

Use a feat or a class ability from one of your classes you don’t have; you have to qualify for the feat and can count your level as up to your level +5. For one round or one use, whichever comes last.

Pull off a cool stunt automatically. But this isn't superheroes - limit it to what a human could arguably achieve.

Other game effect on request.

Limited narrative rewrite – dictate a fact, introduce a story element, have someone show up at an opportune moment, have just the right piece of equipment around You can also use an infamy point anytime to plain old avoid certain death, though there will likely be permanent impact of some kind (e.g. scarring/disability, equipment loss, capture, etc.). You can use multiple infamy points in collaboration with the DM to add/change larger story elements, though the DM is usually up for interesting suggestions without spending points...

Gaining Infamy Points

Every character starts with two Infamy Points. You get one each time you level up and are awarded more by the DM whenever you do some thing significantly badass which would add to your fearsome reputation. This does not have to be an evil act; there is a fine line in people's perception between truly criminal acts and morally justified acts of bloody violence - single-handedly slaughtering a ship of pirates or a ship of the Chelish navy would both add to your infamy. It should be an impressive enough act to get the commoners talking... "Did you see that guy slaughter everyone on the deck of that Chelish naval ship on his own?" "Did you hear those guys are the only survivors of an attack by a ghost ship full of unkillable skeletons and they blew up the ship to escape?" "Did you hear those guys are behind that entire street gang 'disappearing?'"

Often these will be group awards, but there is also room for particularly inspired individual acts of mayhem. Needless to say, as your infamy grows the magnitude of the acts required to gain more Infamy go up. Slaughtering some merchant ship s will get you started on the road to infamy, but after a while, it starts making less of an impression. “Yeah, they do that all the time.” Keep track of the total number of Infamy Points you have achieved over time, it will factor in to your overall level of infamy, affecting what others know about you and affecting use of your social skills in some situations

Vi har använt det här ca 4 år nu. Faktum är att de flesta av de picky reglerna kring användningen har gått bort - de är en väldigt liten resurs eftersom vi är ungefär 2 gånger om året - så de har blivit mer av en nödsituation "spara min bacon" -knapp eller en "jag vill verkligen för att lyckas med detta, gör det hända "-knappen, och det verkar fungera bra. Det gör det också möjligt för mig att vara mycket mer cavalier om de typer av hot jag slänger på dem, eftersom a) om de har en punkt kvar (vi använder plastdubbloner för att representera dem) jag vet att de kan komma ur det, men de punkterna är bara mer värdefull för dem än en nivå så de byter sina åsnor för att inte behöva spendera en.
