Ability Score Damage question
Hi folks!
So, my table is enjoying DCC quite a lot. But the one thing that grinds our gears is the need to recalculate ability score modifiers in play. This, to us, feels about as fun as adjusting a tax form, and I would love a simpler way of doing it. I've read a few threads about how other tables handle it, ranging from "we do it all the time" to "only sometimes" to "we just forget to do it." And our table is a lot more in the "forget to do it" camp.
I considered just cutting that part out, but ability score damage isn't that uncommon in the adventure we're playing, and without it Spellburning would be of minimal consequence. So I feel a bit at a loss of how to do this in a simple and easy way.
For the record - conceptually and thematically I like it! I think the game is more alive with more ability score damage and temporary boosts, actually. But the paperwork to track it is a pain.
Any clever house rules out there? Thank you!
