I'm trying to design the skill system in my new MMO. I don't want a Class based system and I'm fond of the Pre-CU SWG Skills. Do you think that would be a wise way to go? How should it be modified? -- When I die, I want to go peacefully in my sleep like my grandfather; not screaming and yelling like the passengers in his car. |

As I hear praises of this mysterious SWG system left and right, I would like to know if there is any documentation about this lost Holy Grail of game rulesystems around ?

Originally posted by Adamantine Here is the closest thing to documentation on Pre-CU skills I could find: http://swg.allakhazam.com/db/skills.html?swgprof=01 To see the next skill tree, change the number at the end of the hyperlink (swgprof=01, swgprof=02, swgprof=03 etc.). It's not really documentation but if you study it, you can tell how the system worked. The only other place I found these is in the original booklet that came packaged with the Pre-CU game. I liked the SWG approach and I'm using it as a model for my MMO only modifying it slightly. -- When I die, I want to go peacefully in my sleep like my grandfather; not screaming and yelling like the passengers in his car. |

1. Don't group the skills into professions. Simply having a pool of skills. Some may be built on top of others, that's fine, but do not group them into professions; and 2. Eliminate all modifier redundancy. Without redundancy people can't stack, if they can't they can't imbalance your entire skill system. That's where SWG failed. |
