How the Core Mechanic Bell Curve Works OK here is a glimpse “under the hood” of how the GoldenSword “bell curve” works. Basically, we compare the difficulty, vs the skill.

If the skill is greater than the difficulty, we adjust the difficulty up a little bit.

One will be a “fighter” type character named Alice, and the other a “mage” named Bob. You can create any type of character you can imagine. You just have to tweak the balance of attribute points until they make sense for that character. Want an acrobat? - Boost Agility. How about an acrobat who can read people and make them like her? - Boost Agility, P…
