Update regarding The Allbright System mechanics
Hello everyone, LunaWolve here!
Just a quick headsup for anyone not in the Discord and those of you who do not read RR Author Notes:
Going forward (and retro-actively being changed), the Attribute "Dexterity" will be renamed to "Finesse".
This is only a semantic change, no mechanics have been altered.
The reasoning for this change is that I've received vastly too many comments regarding the fact that Dexterity-based Characters in the novel seem "too slow", due to the expectations set forth by video games.
"Finesse" is a better semantic fit for my novel, as it does not actually govern speed whatsoever, but rather things like Hand-eye coordination (in combination with Precision), body control, muscle flexibility, and similar.
Strength is the Attribute that determines the power of your muscles, both fast and slow twitch, which means that it also governs your overall speed.
I hope that this semantic change will clear up some of the confusion going forward.
That's all. Thank you for your continued support!

Nice! I think this will clear up the cognitive dissonance for those that felt it.
Hoping that's the case!
I mean idk if it’s my time playing dnd but I thought dex fit perfectly here. But finesse also works. Whatever makes you happy as the writer.
That's where I came from as well. I'd prefer Dexterity, personally, but if Finesse makes people less uppity about the stat, then that's what I'll go with xD
Now give me my Friday chapter! :)
It's uploaded and scheduled to be released at fbr usual time, no delays today!
Huh, I guess I'm an anomaly, cause I never equate Dex to speed. Agility typically affects speed. If I read a story that has Dex but not Agi, I typically think speed is handled behind the scenes. I've always viewed Dex as how proficient one is at manipulating their body. Finesse is a good change.
This is the same thing I said in the discord 😂
Thanks for the update. I don’t use discord often and since there is the Patreon I don’t need to read RR so I’m the target audience for this I guess.
I knew there'd be at least one! xD
Good change, clears up misunderstandings
Never sleep, always read! Thanks, I hope it will!
