CKG - Tertiary Attributes

Post by Demiurge »

Has anyone tried using tertiary attributes as presented in the CKG (p.230-231)?

I'm thinking about giving the 12/15/18 system a try, but I'm afraid it might make human a less attractive choice for character race.

Not me. I'm one of the people that is very happy with the standard.
Since its 20,000 I suggest "Captain Nemo" as his title. Beyond the obvious connection, he is one who sails on his own terms and ignores those he doesn't agree with...confident in his journey and goals.

How so? They would be 3/2/1, where as demihumans would be 2/2/2, no? Or, is there something else I'm not seeing?

I've thought about it, too. And that's precisely why I haven't done it. But I'm the same person that kept level limits in 1st and 2nd Edition AD&D.

I'm sure some people will think it won't imbalance anything. And it very well might not. With the C&C rules, humans have that third primary as their racial benefit. And I think it makes good sense, too, if you adhere to the idea that humans are a more diverse culture. The addition of the tertiary attribute still keeps humans ahead (since they;re 3/2/1 and the others are 2/2/2), so it's hard to tell just on paper. I do think it would have an impact, though.
