BlogNomic: The First Dynasty of Desertfrog

i missed ou on a day of voting so i’m abit in the dark about the powers

A day? It’s been pretty quiet for a couple weeks now.

that last run of ideas of kev’s. i was away during that voting period lol.

How would I go about doubling or halving the TR of a _section_ of a monster?

Each section has a TR derived from its attributes(Flaming Red Eyeball, etc). That threat rating is from the results of the Google search.

Is there any reason that cannot be changed?

“Each attribute has a value, known as its threat rating. An attribute’s initial threat rating is derived by putting each word of the attribute individually into Google and adding the number of results for each. A Monster’s initial overall threat rating is the sum of the threat rating for each of its attributes. “

Ah, perhaps maybe something more like “Choose one section of the monster. Double the threat rating for the attribute for that section.” ?

Is this doubling permanent or temporary?  Does it affect the listing of the section attribute threat rating on the wiki, as well as the original total threat rating that was made from that number added to two others, as well as the current threat rating that may have been modified since, or does it only add the original value of a section attribute to the total current?  If it’s that last one, then if somebody else halves the same section attribute do you subtract half the original amount from the current or the total original amount (since that section has been halved back to what it was before)?  Needs clearer wording.

Unless stated, the change is permanent.

Better wording might be “Add X to the threat rating where X is an attributes threat level times 2”, but I was trying to make battles a little more random by having a section be chosen to get the threat rating. So, changing a section was what I was going for. Might be a better way to word it like “Add a word to an attribute and add the new value to the threat rating.”

or conversely, subtract a word, but limit it to no less than 1 word.

The first line in my last comment was meant to be posed as a question.

empower/weaken will need some work—i think that changing one of the three attributes would have no effect on the overall threat rating, as i understand it. and the scramble would also have no effect on overall threat. though they would have an effect on the new attacks headline. but the rest is great

Because empowering, weakening and scrambling need work, and because the new combat system is just an incentive to give your monsters as low an active Threat Rating as possible, if we’re now rolling according to initial section ratings.

I’ll clean this up when I can actually submit another proposal.

To rework it. It doesn’t really say what I intended.

SK’d!!!!
