[Real Life Roleplaying] Attribute Points and the Challenges

Sep 19 2012 01:27 AM | spezzy in Rebel Updates

So now that you've created your character and assigned starting attribute points, you're probably wondering how to gain more attribute points and increase your level.

Simple!

By taking part in our 6 week challenges!

For every 6 Week Challenge you participate in, you increase by one level.

Easy, right?

Unfortunately, the attributes aren't handed out just on participation

As a part of your 6 Week Challenge, you will be creating goals.

You will be given the opportunity to earn attribute points by how well you complete those goals.

Assigning Attribute Points To Goals

*note: this is completely optional and just for fun. It is not a required part of the 6 week challenge.

You will have the potential of obtaining 15 attribute points per challenge. These will be split up between your goals.

You will decide on your own what attribute points to assign to each goal, based on the type of goal and what is involved.

So lets say that our goals are:

Run 5k without stopping
Squat 250lbs, 5 times
Cut out soda completely
Pay $1000 towards debt

So what we do is we take these goals and compare them to our attributes.

As a reminder, we use 6 attributes in NF Real Life Roleplaying:

In this challenge, we have six attributes:

Strength (STR) - physical strength
Dexterity (DEX) - agility and speed
Stamina (STA) - Endurance and Energy
Constitution (CON) - ability to resist damage and disease
Wisdom (WIS) - intuition and sense of things around himself
Charisma (CHA) - force of personality and physical attractiveness

There is no list of rules as to what exercises or life goals go with specific attributes - you decide this on your own, but please make sure they make sense.

Using our goals above, here is how I decided to assign attributes (reminder: 15 points are up for grab every challenge):

1) Run 5K without stopping

Since this is all endurance, we are going to assign 5 points to Stamina (STA)

2) Squat 250lbs, 5 times

If this was for 1 rep, I would assign all points to Strength. However, since it’s for 5, there’s a bit of endurance involved, so I’ll assign 3 to Strength (STR) and 2 to Stamina (STA)

3) Cut out soda completely

Since this is a diet and health, I’m going to put 3 points towards this and have them all go towards Constitution (CON)

4) Pay $1000 towards debt

I’m going to say this is a wisdom issue. Since I’ve already used 13 points, I’m going to take the last 2 and place them here. 2 for Wisdom (WIS)

Now, there is a bit of strategy involved here - you want to put the most points towards either:

the goal you know you’ll do better on, or

the goal you need the most work with and encouragement to complete

If at the end of the challenge, you achieve these goals, you can add the attribute points to your character (more on this in the next post)

Notes:

*No more than 5pts per goal

*Every goal must have attribute points associated with it

*You really decide what attribute points, but people may make suggestions

*This is where having less goals is better - less goals to spread out the points between. (Hey, look, strategy! )

Grading Yourself and Awarding Attribute Points

At the end of the challenge, give yourself a grade on how you did achieving your goals. Then, based on how you did, award points. Partial points are allowed.

A - 100% B - 75% C - 50% D - 25% F - 0%

So using our goal examples from above, lets grade ourselves.

Goal	Attributes Assigned	Grade	Attributes Awarded
Run 5k without stopping	Stamina, 5	B (made it 4k)	Stamina, 3.75 points (5*.75)
Squat 250lbs 5 times	Stamina, 2 Strength, 3	C (Squatted 250 3 times)	Stamina, 1pt (2.5) Strength, 1.5pts (3.5)
Cut out soda	Constitution, 3	A	Constitution, 3 (3*1)
Pay $1,000 towards debt	Wisdom, 2	D (paid $250)	Wisdom, .5 (2*.25)
