>>It took me at least 4 respecs on the test server before I got my stats to look like how I wanted them. It's not like there is any way to plan out your stats beforehand, so a couple times I screwed myself over by not leaving enough to train my final stat. Also with no way to train up to 99 in a single command, a couple times I accidentally overtrained past 99 and would've wasted a ton of TDPs (especially the time I went up to 120)

This is one reason in a major way. While I won't be training up to 99 in anything, I will be training to 45 in one stat which is big enough.. Bleh. Please don't make me have to script it because I have no second chance; if you do, I believe human error is going to hurt people.

Use TDP PLAN?

Dude. That is awesome.

How about a micro tran? I pay simu $50.00 and some GM comes down and converts my bonus pools to the skills I choose? Or mabye sells me a one time level 100 rpa award for 24 hours or until exp bonus = zero, which ever is shorter.

I am a rule player as much or more than a role player. Just my mind set.

By the way. What happens to those tdps some of us spent on spell slots back in the day? Recalculated and recovered?

> By the way. What happens to those tdps some of us spent on spell slots back in the day? Recalculated and recovered?

Recovered automatically as part of the new tdp calculations.

<<So anything like having terrible stats when you first rolled up your guy in 1998 or spent tons of tdps on spells or extra slots or etc is resolved.>>

Actually, that is false. There might be people who will have to be adjusted manually. Just as my character that was a "vault" character rolled up in plat when it first started <1999> just to keep the name - had to be. This was before you could get perfect rolls in the character manager. So he had some pretty wierd stats, as I'd overtrained him in agility, and he had some stats that were under the minimum roll now possible to roll for a s'kra <i.e today s'kra cannot be rolled with under 12 in strength, etc.>


Also - there is an additional bug that people should be aware of if they have any characters in their possession that Have town debt, and they respec that char. The respec trainers are otherwise free. HOWEVER, the bug comes in that IF they already have town debt <for any reason - either citizen debt,jail debt, "newbie" debt, whatever>, the Trainers WILL charge the fee to retrain their stats. Unlike the advertised "free to train", and the messaging in-game that it is supposed to be "free to train". As far as I've seen in test, this hasn't been fixed. Again, this only occurs when they already have debt to that province.



<<The real thing DR needs is to get out there to the kids who actually read books.>>

Then you type respec and all is well, because it resets your stats to normal stats. The vault characters that aren't even used will be saved, if they don't automatically have their stats adjusted and/or credited extra tdps for being under racial minimums.

>>See this is what I want to confirm one way or another. Is the game taking into account if the TDPs spent equal any TPDs that were used to get stats that werent at racial mins? Im sure its not a ton but thats still (ballparking) around 5-8 stat points worth of TDPs for my character at least.

This isn't how the TDP calculations work.

It looks at your skills and circle, goes "based on your circle and skills, you have exactly X TDPs," then looks at your race and stats, goes "based on your race and stats, you have spent exactly Y TPDs," and subtracts Y from X.

If your Human character somehow farted out of the character generator with 1 in each stat instead of 10, and now after hard work and circling you finally got each stat to 10, it will look at your skills/circles, realize you earned X TDPs, notice that based on where Humans should start stat wise you would need to spend 0 TPDs to get there, and you'll have all those TDPs to spend just like you would have if you didn't take the worst rolled character ever out of the character generator.

>>He did get back all the tdps he was supposed to.

I figured this was what would happen. Good to know.

>>like I said. I had already done that. all was NOT well. i had to have him adjusted Manually by Socharis.

I would be greatly surprised that, after fixing something that happened once, Socharis didn't put in a fix to make sure it didn't happen again.

>>It did not work as you hypothosize.

It works exactly how I said it works. If the exception are the mule characters rolled up before date X that are never touched, then I'll concede that they will need to be fixed in specific situations, but given that they're mule characters that don't even have above their base racial stats, I doubt this will become an issue.

There was also a point that togs got extra TDPs when they were "balanced" just pointing it out, not adding anything to the discussion really.
