Roles and Ages Breakdowns #1

Open sansthesis opened 8 years ago

sansthesis commented 8 years ago

I categorize ages by the physical traits of the characters and how other characters refer to them in-game.

Name Guidelines
Child Preteen or the trope-y 10000 year old in a child's body
Young Adult Teenaged; reliant upon a caretaker or specifically called out as young man/woman
Adult Independent and not called out specifically as old
Old Obvious signs of aging
Unknown Either unknown or inapplicable

I categorize roles in broad strokes and sometimes fudge some to keep the set of roles from being too narrow. Roles primary apply to the character's available actions in combat and stat growth during leveling.

Name Guidelines
Balanced Either good at everything or bad at everything
Bruiser Usually high hp or defense and usually low speed/agility/dexterity or magic
Mage Usually focused on magic and usually with low hp or defense
Skirmisher Usually high speed/agility/dexterity and either with high attack or oddball utility. Usually low hp or defense
Striker Either good at physical attacks and without skirmisher drawbacks, or good at both physical and magical attacks with some other deficiency
