And there's another one that's in the back of my head that I can't think of where your ability scores do change up and down more. But for some reason, I can't come up with it. I know when I first saw this question, I thought of that. But the two others cipher system You can your your ability pool is also like an effort pool, so you can spend points to to reduce that pool to achieve things.

You can take damage to those pools, and that is how damage works. They're also your hit points, so you can you can reduce those. Now they do come up to that level, but the game expects it to be a lot more up and down and sort of what you're talking about. You know, I went through the harrowing jungle. I got beat up by the person, you know, then your levels go up and down.

I got beat up by the person, you know, then your levels go up and down.

And then your pool, your ability to kind of pull from that pool has also been used up. And that is a neat system to do that. And to enable that, as you're talking about, Sean, the rest of the game doesn't rely on you being at whatever level X is. The game is fluid enough with its DCs and how it works to handle that.

Similarly, the game of Alien and also Coriolis and a few of the other Free League games have a system where how you achieve rolling for something is based on things like your ability score, sure, but your gear, your situation, your whatever, you know, these various things. And so having one of them stripped away doesn't cause an immediate failure.

And your ingenuity might work to help you get that result. Plus, you could just get lucky on the way the dice work because it's not a D20 and some hard big DC you can only hit under certain conditions. So all that comes together in the game's definition to allow for this where your gear can break and now you can't use it. And so make the check without that.

And also you're hindered and also wounded and all these things. And yet you still have a chance at success because the game's math allows for that variance.

Yes. Yeah, in Alien especially, you have a greater chance to succeed with your stress, but if you roll more facehuggers on your stress dice, now you might lose control of your character, shoot the closest person, run away screaming, any number of things, right, to represent things. Especially in that, I think it's called the cinematic mode, you have that happen.

Yeah. The typical way that this has been handled in the past is to say, here is our main campaign and then offshoot campaigns are introduced. Right. So we get things like the Eberron or the Ravenloft. and often these are trying to create a slightly different experience. They're sort of deliberately being the alternative campaign. Ashes of Athos was that, right?

Living Forgotten Realms allowed you to do everything you wanted with 4th edition, and you could be gnolls and whatever, and then Dark Sun provided this You are in the Dark Sun world, only these options, deep Dark Sun storyline, and you're only playing a few adventures because you if I give you too many, you wouldn't play them because you're busy playing Living Forgotten Realms. Right.

Or you're a more casual player who's only coming to the convention for this. So that was a really important part of how it was put together. And it's how often secondary campaigns have been. They kind of fit into and underneath the normal big campaign. If you do two big campaigns, usually they run into one another.
