EXPERIMENTAL Daily Slots

About Slots: These Slots list the powers and abilities you can access on any given game play day (during each session). These slots are being tested to balance the game, make PC actors easier to play, and keep players more in tune with their character's capabilities. Daily Slots do not limit power but they do limit access TO those powers. You can have hundreds of abilities but on any given day can only access a total of 36 of those abilities. Choose wisely. You can also prepare multiple premade sheets or pages to choose from. One for battle, one for protection, one for travel, one with a little of everything, etc.

Your Slot Sheet: Start a player ID thread under Slot Sheets on Forum OOC board or on easy to edit web pages like webadore (see character list), for each chatacter make a post called 'Character name, Slots' with these Headings underneath it:
Power
1-12 slots
Combat
1-12 slots
Mundane
1-12 slots

Under each heading list the skills or abilities you want to be able to access as your slots allow. You can use those same abilities for as many sessions as you want but can only change them ONCE a day at the beginning of each session anytime before those abilities are accessed. GM or SLs can decide to make acceptions and allow slots to be changed at the end of a round. This slows a campaign down though so should be limited unless all players agree to have end of round slot swapping.

Slot Sheet : Character

Power
1-12 slots, choose from Paths of Power, Inborn Powers, and Feats.

Combat
1-12 slots, choose from any combat related skills or abilities.

Mundane

1-12 slots, choose from common or any non combat or non magical skills or abilities (detect, decipher, escape, track, pick lock, horseman, survival, etc).

These are the skills and abilities you can access during any game play session. To change them out, simply swap skills out at the beginning of each game session. You can even prepare multiple slot sheets to choose from each day. Just place an emoji next to the active slot sheet or page.

A good way for preexisting high level actors to build their slot sheet or sheets is to add skills as they are used during first session using slots. This can be done offline then added to Slots thread when ready.

Also, to be successful, Plan ahead. What do you hope to accomplish this session, this week, with this character, and what abilities might help you attain that goal? Choose accordingly.
