What does this gay game mean by arc points compared to just PCP.

>>55038853
PCP is what you get at character creation to put into the differant categories in the little table which will then tell you how much arc that translate into for stats, prof or whatever.

>>55038879
Oh and arc is also exp, PCP are just for character creation.

Be a pal and send a screen shot or somethin' would ya.

I can't find it for the life of me (using 2.0)

>>55038923
To add, the only thing on arc points I can see is about the arcs themselves, epic, sage ext ext.

You're on 2.0, right? PCP starts to come into play on page 8, and runs the rest of the way through character creation.

I'll find Arc advancement stuff in a second.

>>55038853
The difference is that if you take PCP you can actually have a fun experience.

Wait no I am retarded.

All I am reading is this is arc points being REWARDED, what are my starting arc points since they can go into shit like school.

For this for example, to learn the noble school I need to put in at least 5 arc points.

But how can I do this if I have not even played yet?

This gay shit, I don't know where on the table it tells me where my temp arc points are.

They've changed the terminology too many times and forgot to fix all of it. The points on the PCP chart function like Arc for buying stuff at chargen.

>>55040033
So "temp arc points" is the same as PCP?

>>55040033
Thing I don't get how come for schools some have "Cost 5 Arc" and others just have "Cost 5"

Again is it just misspelling?

>>55040728
Yeah, such are the pitfalls of beta releases.

>>55040707
PCP are what you spend to get the temporary arc points, yes.

>>55041455
>PCP are what you spend to get temporary arc points

So, I put lets just say 6 PCP into race deal so I am low noble, is that counted as me spending temp arc points?

>>55041575
The Temporary Arc are in the Attribute, Skills, and Proficiency columns.
If you put 6 PCP into Attributes, you get 35 Temporary Arc to make your stats. 6 PCP into skills nets you 21 Temporary Arc for skills. 6 PCP into Proficiencies gets you 15 Temporary Arc for schools and such.

PCP investment into the other categories/columns gets you more concrete results. 6 PCP in Race allows access to Tier 4 races. 6 PCP in Social Class makes you a Minor Noble with a lot of money.

I really need to remake the character generation tutorial.

>>55041810
Yeah dude I'm getting a lot of mixed messages I don't know what to believe.

Gonna wing it and if the game is shit gonna blame the rules being written eh.

If you can send out a clean reason where PCP turns into 35 Temp Arcs then please post since I can't work that shit out from reading the 2.0 book.

>>55041933
Gimme about 20 minutes and I'll have a (hopefully) comprehensive walkthrough typed up for you.

>>55041970
Look at the table here: >>55040033 The 6 under PCP is in the same row as the 35 under Attributes; you Invest PCP into each other column, and get the same returns. If you put 5 PCP into Attributes, you only get 31 points to allocate to your stats; 4 PCP only gets you 27 etc.

Alright, I'll try to set this walkthrough up now.

>>55038902
so why not call it experience points?

>>55042741
Thank you baby <3

>>55042756
The exp system is called "Arc" because you get it by following the character's story/character arcs. It's pretty gay but it's one of those narrative things.

>>55043011
when in doubt, game designers should prioritize clarity over thematic names. take it too far and you end up with Gary Gygax' Mythos shudder

>>55042772
Keep in mind that I'm not extremely well versed in 2.0 and this is adapted from an older version, so there may be a few mistakes but it should help out.

Is this an official thread?

>>55043609
Thank you based pasta man.

>>55043656
Sure.

>>55043683
I'll be in the Roll20 if you have more questions.

>>55043656
No, I've been up North seeing the eclipse, we're taking a brief break from threads until things are back in order.

Funny asf questions though.

>>55043656
It sure is dying like one.

>>55043683
So, did you figure things out?

Why would you ever want to figure out game mechanics while on PCP?

>>55046384
I chuckled.

>>55054803
I didn't.
