Char Creation System

Well as Seytra says, there is no point at all in this case ...

Well we could do the morrowind approach. There was one option where the guy at the begining would just ask you A series of questions about how you would quest and do things and gave you stats for how you completed the questions. For example,

\"You see a fair maiden being robbed accross the street, do you:

A) Slay all of the men down with a single swipe of your sword? (Sword skill +)

B) Get your herbal medicines ready, and draw your wand? (herbalism +)

C) Silently sneak from the shadows and cut each one of the robber\'s throat? (Stealth +, Dagger +)

D) Shoot them down from long range? (Archery +)

or E) Ignore them and do your taxes (accounting +)

Just a rough idea, kind of interesting and you can see through each of the questions pretty easily and pick what you want while still having the RP flair.

After thinking about it more, I actually would like the system, if you started with more CP. It was very difficult to get a positive number even without creating how I wanted.

But, yeah, it does encourage roleplaying, and is alot better than just choosing a class...

The current system looks very nice.. but having the ability to re-distribute all points from scratch is even more appealing, the first part will be used to give us a base stat which we could just use.. or we can edit that base stats results to our desire.

Ok, Im a bit dizzy reading all this because I have not yet downloaded CB, (and I cant until I can get an accelerator to make the download go faster or an online answering machine so I can catch calls while the download takes several hours)(I have dialup, AOL) but I do want to be prepared when I finally get what I need to download it. I\'d maybe like a few pointers on this new system (feel free to email me, Baddboy317@aol.com). Now from what I can see here, using this more RP based system is not giving you exactly what you want in the way of stats and skills. Its all a matter of preference. Some people like a little more RP in an RPG game and like the system. Some people (like myself) like more game in their RPG. I think it should be made so people can choose if they want to create their character with the new RP-based method in CB, or the old Game-based method in MB. I personally like Whemyfield\'s idea; it gives you customization (because you can somewhat see through the questions) and the RP flair (because it uses text and realistic situations).
