Training stats through indirect means
Posted: Tue Oct 11, 2016 5:33 am
Hi there.
I was playing in a tabletop system last night, and a mechanic that got introduced really stuck with me, so I thought I'd share it as some kind of possibility for saigen. Without trying to get too much into it, in the system, it takes 20 points to upgrade intelligence. However, you can also raise that stat by training skills that use intelligence as its attribute, requiring 40 points (Double the cost of the stat) of trained skills to upgrade it by one point.
How this would translate to Saigen, is, possibly, just working off of word counts. If it takes 1500 words to train a stat, we'll say Ninjutsu, then if you trained 3000 (or potentially even more, 3 or 4 times, for balance purposes) words worth of ninjutsu -jutsu-, then you'd earn a free stat point.
Thoughts, comments, hatemail, etc?
