Wine and beer should count as food

Post by Potjeh »

For purposes of FEP-bar shortening, that is. This would also enable us to have different kinds of them and have it be meaningful. Would be also nice to tie in quality somehow, for example having a single wine count as two food types at q40, three at q90 etc.

I think you hit on something else there; have it so that the quality of each FEPless food varies the amount of wild-card FEP you get.
This would make the mechanic relevant to high-level players, who can then get the twenty or thirty points off they need to make it worthwhile.
Surprise.

Good point.

Anyway, I think we should also have a wine/beer personal belief slider, letting you get more reduction from the one you're geared towards and less from the other one.
Yeah, I'm joking, but it makes more sense than most of the current personal beliefs :P

This would be pretty nice.

I kinda like the idea of putting booze on a personal belief, too. Might make it something like, sobriety/alcoholism or something. This way, a character that believes in sobriety gains little to no effect from booze to reduce TW, but sleeping restores 300% as much. A person who believes in sobriety might value a good nights sleep over getting wasted, no?

It would be nice if wine gave FEPs again.

No it wouldn't.
