Setting up MT for Savage Worlds
In a recent discussion the idea came up that we should post how we set up MT for various game systems, so here is my set up for using MT for Savage Worlds. Simply copy and paste this into you "Campaign Properties" and voila!
Agility (AG)
Smarts (SM)
Spirit (SP)
Strength (ST)
Vigor (VG)
Charisma (CH)
Pace (PC)
*@Parry (Parry)
*@Toughness (Tough)
*@Fighting (Fight)
*@Shooting (Shoot)
Bennies (BE)
Agility (AG)
Smarts (SM)
Spirit (SP)
Strength (ST)
Vigor (VG)
Charisma (CH)
Pace (PC)
*@Parry (Parry)
*@Toughness (Tough)
*@Fighting (Fight)
*@Shooting (Shoot)
Bennies (BE)

I was wondering something about that actually. Is there anything that can be done with the abilities that don't pop up in the stat sheet such as Agility? What I mean is, other than referring to it instead of the character sheet that we can use now, what is the point of putting in those other stats?
I was thinking about that today as well when I was setting up my Hero game. I was debating whether I wanted to add all the stats or just the ones for the stat sheet.

Here's the properties we use
Agility (Agil)
Smarts (Smrt)
Spirit (Sprt)
Strength (Str)
Vigor (Vig)
Pace (Pace)
*@Parry (Pary)
*@Toughness (Tuff)
Charisma (Char)
Wounds (Wnds)
Fatigue (Fatg)
*@Fighting (Fght)
*@Shooting (Shot)
I think your list is cleaner and it includes Bennies. I've considered developing custom states for Bennies that put dots at the four corners of the tokens based on the number left. I do like to keep track of wounds in properties since someday, in the far distant scripting future, it might be used to modify rolls.

Ah yeah, Wounds, that would be a good one to add. I am hoping soon we will have customizable states, thinking of creating some images to represent that easily. Be great if we could visuall have them presented on the statsheet somehow, so when you rolled over, you could quickly see health and bennies.

Wonderful idea on the mouse over. We had a discussion in another thread about showing how the character was armed by showing axillary images to the side of the mouse over. Something like this for wounds and bennies would be great as well.
Or the ability to show a status bar on either side of the mouse over portrait to keep tract of things. Something like a bar scale. It has applications in DnD to show hit points and Hero system to show endurance and body and, of course, Savage worlds to show Beenies, Wounds, Ammo, Power Points... whatever.

Actually the first mock-up I made for the statsheet showed everything in statbars, but we decided we wanted to show actual text, since some games used dice or other means.

Currently they are there for the purpose of being there. A step in the evolutionary chain.RPMiller wrote:My question above is still unanswered. What are all the stats used for within MT? Is it just for reference, or is there a good reason to have them in there?
In the not-distant-future you will be able to reference them from within scripts/macros/charsheet
Dreaming of a 1.3 release
