Hihi, it's Impie again, This e-mail will intend to very briefly help to improve your comprehension of the stats in the ACC. In general, you can compare the stats to rl equivalents. Sports are a good one for this. For 23 – 26 Dexterity, think of those guys that run along rooftops and do crazy flips and stuff, or an Olympic gymnast. At the very high levels, you’d be as agile as those crazy people or the gymnasts and able to pretty much perform any acrobatic feat any human on this world can, without the Force to help you. So bear that in mind (Impetus, I’m looking at you) when you have a dexterity of 23 and use the Force to do a backflip.
In general, if you have a very high stat involved, think of the best in the real world. 10 – 12 is the average human. For something like 18 – 20, that kind of region dexterity, imagine somewhere in the middle, like a football player. He’s gotta be quick and agile, much quicker than the average person, but nowhere near the levels of agility a gymnast needs. That said, let’s go on to individual stats and briefly explain them all. I’ve seen some people dismiss certain stats as useless, but all stats have their uses. Another important thing to remember is that the CS isn’t an ACC Sheet, it’s a Character Sheet in general, for organised rps, run-ons, fictions, etc. Charisma doesn’t have as many uses in the ACC as say strength or constitution. But in a general fiction, Charisma is often hugely important in garnering support in an unknown place for example, or if your character is a leader they need to have some kind of charismatic presence. Strength – How strong you are Used for: Strength dictates physical attack power, how much you can lift, etc. This determines how well you can break through an opponent’s guard with your raw power, blocking strong attacks, how much damage you do when you hit someone, etc. It’s probably among the simpler stats of the ACC. Constitution – How tough you are Used for: When you get hit. Someone with a low constitution falls apart at the slightest touch, whereas someone with a high constitution can shrug off blaster bolts and strikes that would kill most people. Another thing to consider is endurance, with a low constitution, blocking all those strong lightsaber attacks will take its toll on your wrist. Dexterity – How fast you are Used for: Running, jumping, dodging, anything that requires agility. Someone with a high dexterity can perform incredible acrobatic feats without the use of the Force, someone with a low dexterity can’t move about very well at all. However, with a high DEX and low CON, you’re gonna get tired quickly. Intelligence – How clever you are Intelligence is incredibly misleading. While it does involve intelligence, the main place you’ll see INT being used is in Force Powers, since INT is a measure of how well you can use Force Powers with a physical effect. This is most of them, healing, telekinesis, enhance ability, etc. Anything that’s not a mental based power sums it up really. Wisdom – How well you can apply your knowledge Wisdom is used to apply knowledge and experience for a practical application of them. Knowing a mathematical formula is one thing, being able to use it practically is Wisdom. Wisdom is used for relying on life experience, and also to resist any mental Force power used on you, such as a persuasive power. Charisma – How awesome you are to people This stat is hugely overlooked by many. Charisma gives your character a personality that others can enjoy, and like being around. Charisma is the main stat used in determining the effectiveness of a mental Force Power, and generally how attractive you are to people. 26 Charisma has a huge fan club of people willing to die for them, 3 Charisma gets you bullied at school for being boring. Someone with a high charisma would be better at playing mind games, but this stat carries much more importance outside of the ACC, as it’s the stat used to interact with any other living person. Force Defence – How resistant you are to the Force A new stat, Force Defence dictates how well opponents’ Force Powers are on you. It would affect things like how far they can throw you through the Force, and is a passive power. It just happens that no-one can touch you through the Force if you have 26 FD, rather than it being anything you consciously do. Force Reflex – Recovery time If you get hit by a Force Power, there’s a delay in which you need to recover before you can use the Force to retaliate. This is what FR does. If you get hit by a Force Power and have 26 FR, the opponent’s gonna be hit back before they realise what happened. With a low value, you’re not gonna be using the Force for a while. Force Pool – How many times you can use the Force A simple one to end, Force Pool is how many Force Powers you can use. Think of a Force bar on a game, Force Pool is how big the bar is. Doesn’t affect strength of them, but if you’re gonna push someone to the floor, lift them with telekinesis, shock them, throw your saber at them and call it back, shock them again then throw them onto the floor, you’re going to need a huge Force Pool. And that concludes an overview of the stats, I’ll be writing a few more of these soon on other areas . Hope it helps! Impie
