A New Way To Level- Achievements! [3.5 House Rule] [PEACH]

[link55557]

Tired of the boring old exp system?
Monster CR's getting jumbled up in your head?
Sick of merciless bookkeeping?

Well, not anymore!
Behold!

ACHIEVEMENTS!

That's right! Now you too can bring the joy of achievements into your game!

*Ahem*
Anyways...
A while back I was surfing the forums and I found a thread about ingame achievements. I thought it was interesting, but they really had no point in that context so I began thinking for a practical use for them, and I came up with a new leveling system based on achievements. Basically, you take a master list of general Achievements, and make some for your story. The system I use is 10 achievement points rewards a level and each story achievement (awarded at the end of your average session ) is worth 10 points. There would also be bonus optional story achievements worth anywhere between 5-20 points. We never used the exp system anyway and would randomly distribute levels along the way. This gives it more of a structure.

So without further ado, here it is!

Further Ado-
Special thanks to Project Icarus for staying up till 3:45 with me and making up increasingly crazy sounding Achievements
More thanks to DragonForce, OotS, 8-Bit Theater, Unforgotten Realms, Monty Python, Shakespeare, Edgar Allen Poe, Various Memes and Tropes, Red vs Blue, Oblivion, WoW Flogging Molly, The Tossers, The Dropkick Murphys, Gogol Bordello, Legendaryfrog, Braveheart, and the guy who made that first achievement thread.
We also made some up all by ourselves!

NOW without further ado-

[Project Icarus]

Nice, very nice.
I have to say, I only came up with a scant few of these.

The only thing I can see wrong is during your sales pitch at the beginning:


Monster CR's getting jumbled up in your head?

You still do have to keep track of CR's, just not quite as much.

[link55557]

It's a sales pitch. Of COURSE it's full of fallacies:smallwink:

[Anteros]

So...are your players aware of the list? Because you could easily get most of these in one session.

And if not, you're really encouraging your players to step up their randomness. (Which is fine for some people, of course)

[link55557]

No, they shouldn't be shown the achievement list. It would be way too easy to level that way.

[insecure]

Those are made of epic and sprinkled with awesome. And with a side-dish of win.

[Zeta Kai]

I, for one, am rather tired of the EXP system. It's clunky, complex, inelegant, & difficult to adjudicate properly. It's also a bookkeeping nightmare. I've been working on a better alternative to the standard EXP system for many weeks, & I'm just about ready to post it. It won't be a bloody thing like what you've come up with here, but it's nice to know there's a market for such a thing. Your system looks like a fun way to gain power throughout a campaign, as well. Nice job, Link. This amuses me.

[Otogi]

1g - A Wizard Did It!

With the wizard class or being disguised as a wizard for the session, wear a pointed hat and robe.

5g - Titicular

Defeat a dragon in a dungeon.

1g - Beyond his Time

Complain/make a suggestion about something with an anachronism.

1g - Metaphysical Greed

When given a wish, wish for more wishes.

1g - Soundtrack Savvy

Quote a lyric of a song in game.

1g - The Family Guy

Already have a wife and kids before the campaign starts.

5g - Narcissist

Create a new subschool of magic with your name.

1g - Comic Book Proportions

Make someone's head spin either through an attack, spell or some strange dialog.

1g - Where Did He Go?

Disappear from the universe.

5g - Nowhere Man

Disappear from the multiverse and all existance.

15g - Oh My Me!

Gain a Divine Rank or otherwise become a god.

1g - They're with Me Now

Convert an NPC alinged with your enemy to your side. Alternately, take one of they're mount or pet and keep it as your own.

1g - Under the Moonlight, This Serious Moonlight!

Fight an opponent, make a complex skill roll or other complex roll while dancing.

[Knaight]

NPC Achievements
10g All Part of the Plan

5g Double Cross

5g Its him again
Manage to get hated by the players, and not only the characters.

Player Achievements
1g My name is Inigo Montoya.
Quote Princess Bride in game.

[lesser_minion]

I like this, but most of the ones I've thought up have been nowhere near as good:

3g Is that some kind of car?

Reach AC35 while wearing full plate mail

3g Abracapocalypse!

Cast an incredibly powerful spell that completely fails due to spell resistance

10g Think of the catgirls...

successfully destroy something using Major Creation, or encounter a pseudonatural creature with a starting CR above 19

1g Sort of like they went back in time...

Win an argument by removing your clothes

2g How about a flare?

Get swallowed whole with your entire party

EDIT - So everyone got the two UR ones. Anyone catch the other three? (1 PC RPG; 1 forum; 1 magazine)

[link55557]

Hehe. Good ones guys. I like that last Unforgotten Realms references there =P

[firepup]

Some for me

1g - Blinded by the light
Successfully cast a spell that has the light descriptor on a enemy sensitive to light.

1g - Why do the idiots always survive?
Kill a party member through a stupid action that effects both of you and survive.

1g - Battle of the wills

1g - Bork bork bork
Do something crazy and dangerous to the party, and bypass an obstacle

[Project Icarus]

1g My name is Inigo Montoya.
Quote Princess Bride in game.

That's awesome. I feel ashamed that I didn't think of this. Bravo!

Now I will commence to qq moar.

[link55557]

Now I will commence to qq moar.

It's not all your fault, I didn't think of it either :smalleek:

Link and I attempted to do the same thing. You can actually see some of the effects of this with "The Alebringer". Y'know, giving out awards for the achievements instead of points. But we decided to focus more on achievements and less on the awards for said achievements.

Of course, in your position you could give the PCs magic items, temporary conditional modifiers on rolls, or even gold instead. Achievements are pretty versatile in this respect.

[Glooble Glistencrist]

3g - Mega Diet:

1g - Drunken dwarves doing trigonometry
Use real world mathematics way too advanced for your character to know.

1g - I choose you!
Make a Pokemon reference in character.

1g - Ray of Enflamement
Attempt to cast a spell which does not, actually exist. Bonus if the name of the spell contains words that aren't real words.

2g - Dancing Queen
Use Otto's irresistable dance to take down or bypass a major, plot important enemy.

1g - Defying Gravity
Use flight to completely bypass a challenge that was supposed to be fought on the ground (cause the DM didn't realize you could do that.)

1g - Pit Stop
Ask to use the restroom - in character. (Bonus points if no one in the game world has any idea what you're talking about.)

[firepup]

Some more:

[Project Icarus]

I really am impressed with all the achievements you guys came up with!

Something I noticed whilst browsing through them, however, is that there were quite a few that were worth more than 1g - even some worth as much as 10g. Now the problem with this is that these are bonus achievements, and thus only perks for doing something random or cool - there shouldn't be any real motivation to go out of your way to get them because our goal is to have so many that you just run into them by playing casually. With a few exceptions for truly epic general achievements such as "Tonight You Will Witness It All" or "Sexy Shoeless God of War" (The latter being even harder to receive due to it being at DM's discretion), most achievements worth 5g or more are story achievements - to keep the game going. If there were a bunch of general achievements worth 5g or more, it would slow down the gameplay because characters would be more focused on attempting to get those rather than follow the story. It would encourage extreme randomness - even more than the current setup does!

Another thing I feel I have to add is that Link and I don't play using Epic rules - partially due to the fact that I don't have the Epic books, and also because we don't usually get to that point - so achievements at twentieth level are simply for the lulz. This explains why we made the "Gratz!" achievement worth 10g (A bit of grim humour on our part there). Of course, if you did want to play with Epic levels, you could always scale the leveling to 20g/level or more after reaching level twenty.

So, yeah. Just wanted to clarify some things in case anyone planned to use this. But, like I said at the beginning, I'm blown away by you guys. I can't honestly say I expected such a reaction to this. Thank you all for your input on this! :smallbiggrin:

[Glooble Glistencrist]

If I implement this, then it's gonna have no barring on leveling, but 10g equals an extra action point. Action points gained this way aren't lost by resting (in 4e. In 3.5 there's no need to differentiate them from regular action points.)

OK, I could see that. It could definitely work in that context. And hell, even without any benefits, it's still fun to throw into a game just for the lulz.

5g- Kobooooold
Go an entire game session speaking entirely in poetry, Haiku, or vocal quirk of some kind

This seems excessive. I have had characters in my campaigns who could only speak in proverbs, session after session(It was a lot of fun, as it was an entire monk order who did this), and it really wasn't that difficult. Even if they tended to follow a general term.(Lizards and insects at first, then fish, then octopi and squids as well as fish, eventually going into plants). This is actually really, really fun to play, and everyone needs a character who uses it. Because lets face it "don't waste ammo" has nothing on "The octopus regrets using all its ink on the barracudas when the shark swims by".

[Project Icarus]

I like the idea but I do have to ask...

Completing an entire dungeon is worth the same as quoting Shakespeare once?

Yes, but not entirely.

I can see why that tripped you up. Allow me to clarify. You see, these achievements are one-time things. "Dungeon Crawlin' Fools" is only for the first dungeon that you go through. Likewise, you only get the point for quoting Shakespeare once, and after that you don't get any points for quoting him again (But why would you want to stop quoting him?).
Storyline awards are usually received from dungeons as well, which can be worth 5-10g.

So yes. Going through your first dungeon could be worth the same amount of "experience" as quoting Shakespeare (If your DM doesn't give out a story award for it). However, in the long run, exploring dungeons and adventuring to advance the story is going to get you more points.

Also, remember that the PCs will have no idea what these achievements are. With this in mind, isn't it more likely that they will run a dungeon rather than quote a classic author in context? (OK, I know a few people who would be exceptions to that rhetorical question, but that's beside the point :smallbiggrin:)

Hope that helped to clarify.

This is actually really, really fun to play, and everyone needs a character who uses it. Because lets face it "don't waste ammo" has nothing on "The octopus regrets using all its ink on the barracudas when the shark swims by".

Yeah, I see the problem there. When I had originally written this, it was "Speak in rhyme, haiku, or other organized poetry for an entire playing session", which I thought would be difficult (Mostly because I can't do improv to save my life). I can see Link changed it a bit, and that's why it seems easy to get now (we both wrote our achievement lists separately, and shared achievements from each others' lists, but modified them to fit our own style). So, I'm not sure proverbs would fit into my descriptor. But even with Link's version, it might be hard for some people to do proverbs.
Also, always keep in mind that players don't have access to these, so they don't know what is going to get them points.

That idea is brilliant, though. I should so spend a day speaking in proverbs. And my excuse for not doing my homework will be: "To a human, a sloth might seem lazy. But to an ant, a human seems altogether sloth-like." Thank you. You are deserving of a cookie. I wish I could give you one over the interwebs.

How about we give characters an XP for every Gold Coin they recieve and/or spend? That one's never been done before...

Yeah. It is similar to the secrets and keys in a way, but a bit less complex.

As for the idea with gold as XP... it's an interesting idea. And I can't say I've heard of someone using gold as XP, so I'd say it's pretty original. The problem is that you have to be careful about how much you give your characters. If you're good at balancing gold out over levels, then it could work wonders. But as it is, some people, including myself, aren't very good at that sort of thing. The achievement system is a simple way to level up your PCs just how you want. You have complete control over their XP, instead of trying to balance encounters so that they gain just enough XP. That's how we designed it.

Wow, it's the man himself. I'm honored :smallbiggrin:

Anywho-
Thanks for all the great ideas for achievements guys! For future reference though, I tend to keep general Achievements at 1 point each, and there should never be an achievement that's not worth either one point or a number divisible by five. Other than that, good work guys.

Epic props to Project Icarus for owning the thread while I've been away, and sorry for any confusion it may have caused.
