This post opens a very important vote. You really should read it.
Ouch. DCY is intended to be a light and breezy no-crunch quest, but the one thing I do always roll for is Drew's class abilities when reaching a new floor. It's pretty simple; he's got a ((Character Actor level x 10) + Fortuna's Favored Child)% chance of getting each ability in his class, except he's guaranteed to always get at least one thing. I start at the top of the list and go down the line, rolling for each thing. For each ability, he had a 52% chance of getting it. He whiffed on basically everything. Of the abilities that
Pirate Admiral can grant, the only things he got were:
- +6 Dex
- +5 Wooden Ships and Iron Men skill,
- +3 to the 'Attack Me Hearties' spell,
- the double boss box benefit,
- and the bonus luck effect when he swing on a rope/chandelier/etc
In particular, he did not get the Conjure Cannon or Plunder skills that were the entire reason people voted for Pirate Admiral in the first place. I'm going to reopen voting for 24 hours.
Topic: Should EJ reroll all of Drew's class abilities?
[x] Yes. I understand that Drew is stuck with whatever he gets the second time, which might not be as good as what he has now
[x] No. 'Attack Me Hearties' sounds like enough fun on its own so I don't need cannons or plunder
And yes, I know. I could simply ignore the dice and do whatever I want, but I'm not going to. It defeats the entire point of the Former Child Actor class and I know myself; I'm likely to have all the super powerful abilities get 'rolled for' if I'm choosing, even though underpowered characters tend to be more interesting. Writing Drew as a minion manager for this floor would be an interesting challenge as a writer, but it's sufficiently against what the thread was planning for that I'm giving you the chance to reroll.
