Alternity Beyond
Alternity Beyond (A DNDBeyond-like site for Alternity) posted in General Zone forum comment posted by Moloth Hi all,
I'm working on v1.1 of AlternityBeyond, specifically enhancing how Cybernetics (and Mutations) affect your character. I'm attempting to automate those changes so when, for instance, you add MusclePlus (Good) to your Hero, it adds +2 to your STR score and notes that it is cybernetically enhanced on the character sheet.
My question is this: Does Cybertech (and/or Mutations) that increase your ability scores then immediately increase your related Skill Scores? Using the example above, if your Hero gets MusclePlus (G) installed, do all of their STR Skill's Scores (Athletics, etc) go up by 2?
Additionally, does a cyberlimb operate the same way? Its says specifically in the PHB that a Cyberlimb only affects the STR in that specific limb... Therefore, the cyberlimb only adds STR bonus damage when using that arm, (by swinging a melee weapon with that arm, for example). Does a Cyberlimb affect Skill Scores?
For simplicity, i'm planning on having any and every Ability Score increase affect Skills Scores in real time, no matter their origin. And, as stated in the PHB, they DO stack. A Hero with MusclePlus (A) and a Cyberlimb (A) get a damn +6 to their STR score... if they started with 14, that takes them to a 20! (holy crap!) Does that then mean they have 20/10/5 in Athletics, even with 0 Ranks??
Just wanted to see the community's thoughts... thanks, all.
