Maybe the big guys stick to cheaper but larger quantities of food, maybe the small guys get shafted on the room rates. If they want a discount for small size, they need to buy something that gives them that discount and then claim it's because of their small size.<br /><br />Taking Gluttony on big guys is common, though, and that adds +10% in town and you'll need to tote extra rations.Peter Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14246000382321978462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817710432110712270.post-23412191507869371122016-02-01T11:21:18.449-05:002016-02-01T11:21:18.449-05:00I'm curious as to big-and-tall PCs (or short-a...I'm curious as to big-and-tall PCs (or short-and-small) - do you just avoid them in your game?

As...Ah, cool - that seems a fair enough way to go. As you say, it probably costs the martial artist a little in the long run. <br /><br />At $40/point, s/he'd need to be spending 3-4 pts on new on-template skills every week, week-in-week-out, in order to make the extra $150/week they're paying an even deal. I would have thought the PCs would average a little less than that - not a *lot* less, but a little <br /><br />But it seems pretty close to even - in the ballpark, anyway! thecollaborativegamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13961683545290060442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817710432110712270.post-65313141820894239532016-01-31T14:11:41.063-05:002016-01-31T14:11:41.063-05:00No, you're correct. Although it doesn't sa...No, you're correct. Although it doesn't say how much of upkeep is food, and it's weird if meals are always $2 each regardless of if its dried rations, cheap tavern slop, good fresh food, etc.<br /><br />In any case, doubling it was just easier than figuring that out, and I threw them the "don't pay for new Chi skills and Chi powers" bone instead. Since we charge $40/point for new on-template skills and on-template advantages, this helps. Probably still costs more in the long run, but I decided on +100% instead of +50% or something of that sort and that's what we've been going with.Peter Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14246000382321978462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817710432110712270.post-13887434287148289162016-01-31T13:45:19.025-05:002016-01-31T13:45:19.025-05:00Interesting.

Is it standard to charge Martial Artists doubled upkeep? <br /><br />It's true that when DF1 describes Disciplines of Faith (Chi Rituals), it says "you must pay double for rations" - but I always assumed that the $150/week upkeep cost was for accommodation as well as rations - so doubling the cost of rations wouldn't double the whole amount. <br /><br />But perhaps I'm missing something obvious!thecollaborativegamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13961683545290060442noreply@blogger.com
