Pontos de destino do Pathfinder

Pontos de Herói podem ser o que você está procurando.

Você pediu pontos de destino, que tal ... Pontos FATE? O mecânico de pontos FATE é trivialmente portátil no Pathfinder; nós o fizemos e o usamos em muitas de nossas campanhas. Nossas regras atuais sobre pontos do Pathfinder FATE do nosso blog de campanha são:

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.

Nós os preferimos à mecânica de ponto de ação, porque se você estiver indo para rastrear um recurso, ele deve dar um bom impulso / salvar seu bacon, não um pequeno bônus.

Pontos de Herói são interessantes. No entanto, lendo o d20SRD, eles são mais parecidos com os Fortune Points da WFRP. Cite o OP:

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

A integração / suporte dos Fate Points de outro sistema é uma decisão trivial da IMHO, então vou oferecer Warhammer Fantasy Role Play, 2ª Edição Fortune e Fate Points como uma opção.

Sem citar todo o livro de regras sobre o assunto, um Ponto de Destino representa os PJs "cortados acima" e os deuses os marcando para coisas maiores. Os Pontos de Fortune são mais parecidos com os Pontos de Herói d20SRD (ações livres, re-lançamento gratuito, & c.) E limitados por sessão de jogo. Os Fortune Points por sessão de jogo são iguais ao número de pontos de destino que o PC possui. Se um Ponto de Destino for gasto, o número de Pontos da Fortune disponíveis cairá na próxima sessão. Pontos de destino funcionam como procurado pelo OP. Vamos olhar para o 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.

Como os pontos de destino de um GM também são cobertos:

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.

Uma vez gastas, eles se foram. Mas ... Os GMs são encorajados a possivelmente permitir que os Fate Points sejam concedidos para eventos de economia mundial:

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.

E os pontos de destino não podem ser comprados. Ever.

No WFRP, os Pontos de Destino são concedidos a partir de uma tabela aleatória no chargen com base na raça. Isto não é imediatamente aplicável ao Pathfinder, mas alguns corolários possivelmente existem. Os seres humanos são ascendentes, demi-humanos em declínio. O número nunca é maior que 3 para humanos, os elfos nunca podem ter mais de 2.

O número limitado de corridas jogáveis no WFRP torna isso uma lista gerenciável, mas a lista de corridas jogáveis do Pathfinder pode dificultar o gerenciamento. Eu poderia sugerir que o número fosse determinado em uma média das pontuações de habilidade usando uma Tabela 1-3 modificada do livro de regras do Core, possivelmente limitando o limite superior em três (3), e o limite inferior em um (1). Onde zero (0) ou um número negativo está presente, um (1) ponto. Permitir três (3) apenas com uma média de 17-18. Isso também pode ser retransmitido para caracteres existentes.

Eu escrevi no blog sobre o uso do Fate and Fortune no ano passado: link

Vou adicionar uma segunda resposta, já que nos afastamos do uso de pontos FATE em nossos jogos Pathfinder para um sistema de pontos herói mais direto. É um pouco semelhante, mas um pouco mais ligado do que o sistema de pontos de herói Pathfinder APG.

Na minha campanha pirata, eles são esfolados como " Pontos da Infâmia " você pode facilmente mudar isso e torná-los "Hero Points" (bons) ou apenas "Reputation Points" (valor neutro) ajustando como eles são ganhos.

Infamy Points

Using Infamy Points

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

1. Choose the result of any single roll. Attack, ability check, skill check, saving throw, caster level check, crit confirm...
2. Act out of initiative order. Move up to your usual speed now.
3. Get an additional standard action. Usable whenever during your turn.
4. 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
5. Declare that a weapon or spell attack missed you - anything that requires a hit roll.
6. Throw off an adverse condition Possessed, feared, paralyzed, charmed, entangled... For the rest of the encounter if it's a long term/permanent thing.
7. 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.
8. Pull off a cool stunt automatically. But this isn't superheroes - limit it to what a human could arguably achieve.
9. Other game effect on request.
10. 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

Estamos usando isso há cerca de 4 anos. Na verdade, a maioria das regras exigentes em torno de seu uso foram embora - elas são um recurso muito escasso, já que estamos nivelando cerca de 2 vezes por ano - então elas se tornaram mais um botão de emergência "salve meu bacon" ou "Eu realmente quero para ter sucesso neste, faça acontecer "botão, e isso parece funcionar muito bem. Isso também me permite ser muito mais arrogante sobre os tipos de ameaças que eu tiro contra eles, já que a) se eles tiverem um ponto sobrando (nós usamos dobrões de plástico para representá-los) Eu sei que eles podem sair disso, mas esses pontos são quase mais valiosas para eles do que um nível, então eles quebram suas bundas para não ter que gastar um.
