Bimbo Points are not a Stat. They are something you accumulate through Heroic actions. Think of them as the inverse of Hero Points (things you spend you perform Heroic actions). The PC wants to perform an heroic act. The GM allows this and keeps a tally of Bimbo points. Later the GM gets to torment the PC by spending the Bimbo points to have annoying/embarrasing (but not life threatening) events occur... such as breaking heels, or loosing underwear. Hey, it works for the original game... which I now recall was the "Femme Force RPG"... though some of them may have been Femme Fatales as well. :) _/_/ Peace Software New Zealand Ltd Email: Martin.Dickson@peace.com _/ Martin Dickson Fax : +64-9-373-0401 Product Specialist Phone: +64-9-373-0400 -- to unsubscribe notify mailto:dq-request@dq.sf.org.nz -- From owner-dq@dq.sf.org.nz Wed Mar 28 10:50:18 2001 Received: from localhost (daemon@localhost [127.0.0.1]) by smtp.sig.net.nz (8.9.3/NZSFI-20000705) with ESMTP id KAA05073; Wed, 28 Mar 2001 10:50:17 +1200 Received: from smtp4.ihug.co.nz (smtp4.ihug.co.nz [203.109.252.5]) by smtp.sig.net.nz (8.9.3/NZSFI-20000705) with ESMTP id KAA05061 for ; Wed, 28 Mar 2001 10:50:15 +1200 Received: from adara (203-109-201-172.nzl.ihugultra.co.nz [203.109.201.172]) by smtp4.ihug.co.nz (8.9.3/8.9.3/Debian 8.9.3-21) with SMTP id KAA15521 for ; Wed, 28 Mar 2001 10:50:12 +1200 X-Authentication-Warning: smtp4.ihug.co.nz: Host 203-109-201-172.nzl.ihugultra.co.nz [203.109.201.172] claimed to be adara Message-ID: <003d01c0b710$7e32ebc0$010a0a0a@adara.ihug.co.nz> Date: Wed, 28 Mar 2001 10:50:37 +1200 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Priority: 3 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 4.72.3110.5 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V4.72.3110.3 X-BeenThere: dq@dq.sf.org.nz Reply-To: dq@dq.sf.org.nz Subject: Re: [dq] April Fools Day From: "=?iso-8859-1?Q?Ian__Wood_&_Ellen__Hume=A0&_Adara_Wood?=" To: dq@dq.sf.org.nz Sender: owner-dq@dq.sf.org.nz Errors-To: owner-dq@dq.sf.org.nz Precedence: bulk List-Help: List-Post: List-Subscribe: List-Id: List-Unsubscribe: List-Unsubscribe-All: Also Ian likes the Star Trek requirement to allocate your energy between movement, sheilds, and firepower.

If your Social stat is your primary then you gain xp through meeting people of equal or higher status and engaging them in an appropriate social encounter. Bonus xp can be earned through raising the social status of the less fortunate (charity work). If your Bimbo stat is your primary then you gain xp through flirtation and sexual conquests. If your controlled violence stat is your primary then you gain xp through starting, participating in, and finishing violent encounters. All skills and magic are aligned to one of the primary stats with possible secondary allignments to other stats. For example: Philosophy of Tropical Gardening is purely Social. Whereas the Induce Spasm Spell is primarily social but also has an alignment to controlled violence. Spending XP to improve skills or magics in your primary area is at a 1:1 ratio, in your secondary area it is 13:9 and in your tertiary area it is 23:8. Naturally magical abilities are constructed on a point basis with experience spent on a magical ability adding to the points available for the ability. Restricting your magical abilities to one consistent theme such as Fire or Social Embarrassment gives a points bonus to all of your magical abilities. Initiative is on a sliding scale of 1 to 1000 going to no more than 3 decimal places. Tied initiative will be decided by scissors/paper/stone. There are a few more detailed rules to work out but I'll write them down in crayon on the back of a matchbox over drinks later.
