Jupiter's Children: FaqSystem

Kimi wasn't originally intending to do anything of the sort. But it has been suggested, and there are good reasons for having some sort of guide that people can use to check power strengths against each other. It could even be fun if used as an enhancement to RP rather than a controlling element. If ratings /are/ incorporated, they would most likely have the following characteristics:

Much like the traits themselves, power levels would be setable by the players and revised at will.
Using power ratings will be voluntary on the part of the player (just like using traits).
A comparison system, e.g. a coded RPG system, isn't being planned. (Those things are a lot of work, people!) But if one were to be implemented, the following would be desired:
- A check between a listed series of trait values (the series visible to the players involved) and would return a "descriptive" result of the difference rather than an absolute or numerical result.
- A random element could be added by agreement.
- There would be some simple permissions set so that players could allow or deny others the comparison.
It would be fairly close to the system used in the old Marvel Superhero RPG. In other words, clean, simple and descriptive.

The usefullness of such a system usually requires a fully written (whether in code or documentation) role playing system and would take a decent amount of work. That right there makes it a very low priority. ;)
