          @hellfrog Even though my character should technically be a Dino, she has been on the roster so long she still has pretty low stats, I think. So this is fine.

            Today my Arx peeve is when I see the watch notification for someone logging off and think it is the watch notification for them logging on so I get excited and then sad.

            I get sad about this everytime @tsar logs off.

                  My incendiary XP opinion is that social skills are so highly useful now they should be taxed as well – or else, OR ELSE. The combat tax should be removed.

                  But no one bites when I set this out to start fights.

                  My incendiary XP opinion is that the survival skill should be dunked in gasoline so it can be lit on fire so that it can die in a fire and then we can scoop out the ashes and split them into two different skills or maybe just nuke the combat portion entirely and make up the difference in save checks and then make the survivor Not A Combat Skill and then it can sit in the corner and think about what it’s done.

                  Oh and also stealth shouldn’t be a combat skill either. Unless we implement a roll for extremely dishonorable yet literal backstabbing, which would be choice.

                    @kalakh Also splitting Survival into two would help sort out Streetwise. Is it the Survival of the urban wastelands, and if so why do I need Survival as well?

                      My Arx thoughts & prayers as someone who has very little of the experiences the rest of ya’ll have but I wanted to contribute something to this thread.

                      • I would kinda like a @sheet that was just stats/skills/abilities no muss, no fuss. The demographic stuff is aight, but I feel like a simple sheet is always nice just for quick reference.
                      • Would be cool to have knacks display on the main sheet without a need for @knacks. Using my character as an example, he has a Command+Leadership knack, so some kind of * or something next to his leadership skill might be a nice small visible notation that there’s more here than meets the eye.
                      • Agree with people talking about equalizing skill costs. Maybe everything should be on the same level of combat skills for better XP balance?
                      • Would love to see knack information on the website with the rest of the sheet information.
                      • EDIT: would also love to see Domain skill information on the website. My dude has Income and that isn’t displayed on the website-based stat area.

                            Maybe we can call it “Stability” or something, and have it govern your agility skill.

                            That said, I totally agree. I want to be sturdy in a fight without suddenly being an amazing expert at what berries are edible in the desert or to see a wisp of cloud moving against the wind with my elf eyes.

                              @Solstice Yeah and conversely I wanted Tikva to be a competent wilderness scout and wasn’t really angling to have her be the amazing unkillable ping pong ball. That was a lot of XP to be able to tell people obnoxious facts about deer poop.
