24-11-24 23: 55:49-05 [-] a shadowy vagrant: but yeah it's taken me some time to plan it because of basically all the analyses and evaluation code that needs to be written before even getting to the chargen revamp
24-11-24 23: 55:56-05 [-] a shadowy vagrant: just kind of tedious compared to fun stuff like concoctions. So got to bite off small bits at a time until I have the momentum to polish off the chunk
24-11-24 23: 56:22-05 [-] a burly, sienna-hued young man with short walnut-brown hair: When you say 'average values' you mean average of each skill point cost? So folks who had a lot of say, skills at level 10 at chargen might not have that anymore since the xp cost would have been higher, etc
24-11-24 23: 56:31-05 [-] a burly, sienna-hued young man with short walnut-brown hair: Yeah no kidding! Basically a data science exercise
24-11-24 23: 57:30-05 [-] a shadowy vagrant: yeah exactly! But those people are bringing up the average pretty steeply for everyone else, so it might take some balancing and fiddling also -- especially considering how many characters were generated and then never really played
24-11-24 23: 58:30-05 [-] a shadowy vagrant: i might like, weigh it based on whether there's a story arc, or something
24-11-24 23: 58:44-05 [-] a lean, ink-eyed man: will the chargen skills be available to be repicked from age values, or will the exp be sort of...dumped in as a whole to relearn, plus the extra learned after?
24-11-25 00: 00:20-05 [-] a shadowy vagrant: I'm not 100% sure but I think the simplest thing to do would be to implement kind of a re-roll command that would let existing characters re-roll their skills
24-11-25 00: 01:48-05 [-] a shadowy vagrant: one of the most time consuming staffing things when we had a flood of new characters was people who wanted to reroll their skills but maybe couldn't get poppd back into chargen because they'd already gone into the world and interacted with others
24-11-25 00: 02:42-05 [-] a lean, ink-eyed man: nod nod. That makes sense. Ty for for answering! It being reworked sounds fair for exp balance of the chargen totals.
