Recal on toughness

[jbearwillis]

How would I get Toughness to calu. 2 attributes instead on 1.
Example: (Say I want Strength + Vigor / 2) and then calu. from there. the starships in High-Space start like that.

You might might preclude Toughness and then add in your own version instead. I guess the question is what, if anything, is dependent on the Toughness trait? Maybe some of the Armor calculations... so I suppose that might be an actual situation in which to do a Replace? So maybe just replacing it and then calculating it as Str+Vig/2 instead would be the way to go.

Or, you could just take Tougness as it is divide by 2 and add Str, but I'd think the timing for that would have to be early, before anything like Armor is figured in.

 

[SeeleyOne]

Yeah, what Zarlor said. If you want it to be if a setting is checked you would also want to put a source on the new one and preclude the old one with that source.

Or are you asking for what the equation itself should be?

 

[jbearwillis]

The equation is correct. I have been playing around with the script but I can't seem to get it to work right.

 

[zarlor]

Well, what's the script that's not working?

 

[CapedCrusader]

Definitely create a new version for the different value, with a different name. Precluding Toughness might cause some unintended side effects, so keep an eye out. Adding stuff is easy. When you start taking stuff away, however...

I just made a copy for starships in High-Space of the toughness trait and renamed it Starship Tough, The starships work a little differently and don't use the rule as characters do, so a lot of the things that I can just ingore as long as the info for the starships show up on the sheet with the right calu. to them, which I have working. so thanks for the help. I didn't preclude toughness just worked around it. Since Starships works differently, CapeCrusader, that's why I need to figure how grey out in the configure hero the boxes, when working with starships.
