Yes, you'll end up with "inverted elf" stats. That is, you'll be a strong and sturdy elf with poor mentals
And that's why you all get a free stat shift at the thaumaturgist.Yup.
I don't even remember the old % system, so I can't really answer how close or different this new system will be to that. You will still have the same options as you have today, though. Primary, secondary, physical, mental, even. The differences will be bigger, though. So, if you focus on for example "physical" after the next Armageddon a bigger percentage of your XP will go to your physical stats and a smaller percentage will go to your mental stats. Same with primary/secondary. I don't see why you would not be able to get stats that are very similar to the race-modifier boosted stats you have today. Try out the Thaumaturgist and you'll probably find that you will be able to get stats that are very similar.Quantum wrote: ↑07 Mar 2023 18:18You previously stated that we will still be able to get goblin stats. Does that mean we are going back to the % settings so we have total control of how to set stats? If we continue with the current system and I can choose 1 high, 1 semi and 4 meh, I won't really be able to get back to the stats I have now.
I vote old system with %, it was much more adaptable to what each player wanted.

As for your vote, it counts for nothing since Genesis isn't a democracy. I will feed your vote to my goldfish instead
We talked about this. The messaging is difficult, and its hard to explain how it works internally. Hence we focused on making sure you can get high stats, rather than redoing meditation completely to enable support for dump stats.Quantum wrote: ↑08 Mar 2023 18:56

As a goblin I have 2 high, 2 medium and 2 low. In the new system I will have 2 high and 4 even. That is less choice than today. To be honest I was hoping for more adaptability. Maybe I should set 1 high, 3 medium and 2 low, something like that. Or 1 high, 5 low, if I wanted to be a really smart mage with only intelligence. Any chance we can get the system expanded at some point to give players more freedom over their preferences?
