So I just hacked together a quick setting-agnostic magic ability for Fate Core, was wondering if anyone wanted to take a look at the numbers to see if this is workable or not. In particular, I was wondering whether the refresh cost and skills were right as they were, or if I should change them. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1nXTzVggim3txMMFg-3xmmxnZsL3g3rgpVyFuCUnrCr4/pub

SALT CURES HAM posted:So I'm thinking of running a FAE JoJo's Bizarre Adventure PbP, and the way I wanna handle Stands in it is by letting the player choose either an extra Aspect (for more complicated powers that wouldn't necessarily directly affect specific rolls) or an extra Stunt (for stuff like "being able to hit things really hard" or "being able to loop time backwards to undo an action") to describe the Stand's power. I'm hacking together an ultralight FATE system for JJBA and right now the way I'm handling Stands is that : Calling out your stand costs a Fate Point, every stand has a strength (a narrow category of actions where they get a +2 to relevant rolls, e.g. Star platinum gets a bonus to offensive physical conflict rolls, Harvest gets a bonus for searching for things or observing the environment) a weakness (same but in reverse, e.g. Silver Chariot receives a penalty to any act of strength not directly related yo swordfighting) and a Special Ability (spend a fate point to basically control the narrative within strict parameters: The World can stop time for five subjective seconds, so when the user activates this ability they can essentially declare themselves as having done any action unopposed as long as they could have done it in that window of time) Its a bit janky but I think it works, since this is for a FATE system so stripped down it doesn't even have approaches, just stunts and aspects- JJBA is a setting that reacts negatively to granular rules, since that bogs down the extent of available shenanigans. Still need to play test it though.

I should clarify that its only one fate point and its available for the whole scene, its really only there to herd players into approaching problems in a way other than "immediately summon ghost punch mans to deck NPC," and encourage them to try and think in ways other than direct combat.

The thing about scale is that it applies at the GM's discretion, just because you're a true Fae who ostensibly exists two steps up the Scale ladder from the ready of your party didn't mean that you always act at that scale in everything you do.
