I know its not my place but I know that if you keep editing the sheet and making us have to edit ours every time...its kind of an inconvenience...

S.A.S.S.
Everyone has strength, stamina, agility and soul abiltiies. Pick one that your character is best at. That gets assigned the number 4. Pick one that your character is worst at. That gets assigned the number 1. 1 is worst. 4 is best.
Then you have the middle two. Pick the one of those two that you are best at. Give that a 3. The last one gets a 2.
It seems confusing, but it's to help us make sure that people's characters aren't good at everything and if they post a post that makes it seem like they are, then we can talk to them about it using the stats they assigned themselves in their CS.

This should be the last adjustments. We realized that we had some characters who seemed like players might try to play out as overpowered and we're trying to give ourselves a system to use to prevent that.

Aye, the bunch of CS updates is mostly due to wolfy not having thought this out as well as she would have preferred, and that it grew bigger than she had expected. We're aiming for the next update to be the final one, but yeah I get that it's disorienting and I apologize for it. Please bear with us!

Okay so...What about weapons? the Sass system seems more for Meisters than weapons
Lady Warlock

SASS applies to weapons as well as meisters because weapons are perfectly capable of engaging in fist fights while in human form and of knowing how to use martial arts even though their primary purpose isn't to fight as themselves necessarily.

If weapons would like to face off with other weapons or meisters for personal reasons, it's good to have these things establiashed. At worst it doesn't hurt!

Ngl, never been a fan of stats outside dice rolling. Also it’s kinda weird for demon weapons, because in weapon form, none of that matters except soul in weapon form. Not to mention the system seems to make it impossible to have a balanced character.
Edit: I see you addressed the first part

What character is strong, has good stamina, is very agile and has good soul control without being a mary sue, though?
Maka's not strong at all. She decks Black Star and barely leaves a mark. She's agile enough, but we don't see her run marathons. Her soul perception is pretty freaking awesome.
Black star is strong, he's got good stamina, yes - he uses soul menace, but doesn't see or understand other souls and agility... well, it's ok.

A 1 is not bad, nor is a 4 mind-blowingly amazing; these are baselines for beginning strengths/weaknesses.

It's not intended to be so much a stat system, rather than a way for you to gauge your character's abilities in order of what they're most proficient at for everyone to understand. Being at a 1 doesn't mean you're hopeless and useless at it, it only means it's your biggest weakness.

My concern is that people are going to try and Rock Paper Scissors interpersonal combat, and not take into account situations properly. Many moons ago something like this lead to the death of a year and a half long, 20+ person role play.

Think of it as this. Xavian is planning a 1:1 lesson for your character. Of those four, what does he narrow in on as your character needing the most work in.

Sure. If this is all that it is, consider me placated. Where is soul *power* in this?

What exactly do you mean by soul power?

Posted and updating character sheet w/ stats.
IMO: SASS system is kinda wonky but I'll put faith in y'all I guess.

You gotta admit the abbreviation works well.
Right?

Raw strength, versus technique. You chose attributes, like Strength, agility, endurance, for physical stuff but for the description of soul it only talks technique.
Exanis

I mean, yes, it does work and I got a chuckle outta that.
Functionality? Yet to be seen. Fingers crossed tho.

Please don't feel turned off by this. These changes are supposed to be rolled out to even the playing field for CTF. They haven't been properly explained yet, and this is because I'm in charge of doing so, and I've been very busy for these past two days ^^'
I promise that there will be a good explanation, and you do not need to edit your sheets yet. This is all to give your character the *feel* they deserve, not to limit you to numbers. Why this is happening will also be explained, but please have patience with me until tomorrow! I promise to make it all clearer!

I came up with the SASS abbreviation and I'm happy it got a chuckle out of you! Sorry for all the current confusion. Clarifications inbound tomorrow.

I'll wait then for further elaboration.

Thank you! I'm reeeaaaalllly sorry about all the confusion. I hoped I'd roll out all the changes at the same time to avoid this, but it really isn't to limit you, it's to make teachers' work easier and to allow us to make fair rulings about whether people are godmodding or not if the problems should ever arise.
