and, as a side note, setting everything to 0 or 100 actually will limit potential opportunities.

A Binary Male would have 0 Identity, 25 Physical on average
A Binary Female will be 100 Identity, 75 Physical on average

Even Binary Male and Female can be anywhere on the Social Scale though!

Maybe I'm approaching this the wrong way. I guess, I'll give you a general range of what scores *I think* my character would have, and you can tell me what sort of character you imagine this person to be. Then I can see if that fits what I'm imagining.

Society: 25-35 Identity: 10-20 Physical: 40-50

given what i just posted.. yea, I can see this as a submissive businessman :)

After reading that other post I think maybe all of those need to go up. Especially Society, which I still don't really understand. Because that feels like it should be over 100 now, which isn't possible.

something to realize is that everything is up for adjustment and play testing. Right now working on finishing character generation, and then I'll put up some "test dates" so the dating system can be experimented and tweaked using feedback from community members like you

What other kinds of rolls will there be, besides rolls for dates? That seems to be the only one described. Maybe that's where all my confusion is coming from. I was imagining rolls for everything. Like, do I need to have a low Society score in order to successfully conduct business a large percentage of the time?

Players will have actual character sheets, with stats, skills, flaws and edges.

I'm using savage worlds rpg system as a base

I have not played Savage Worlds, but just looking at the character sheet... so then a roll to conduct business would be based on Spirit + Persuasion, not Society? What was the stay at home vs businessperson example about then?

Valareos2 years ago

That has to be about social expectations.

In a patriarchal society, maker may be expected to rule, matriarchal the women rule. Both would have same social score.

I'd say, wait till I get more developed and see where it leads :)

I'm not sure how social expectations play into this. i'm just asking about the actual game mechanics. How does a character's Society score affect business operations, in this game?
