Wow, friendly board! I'll be sure to ask if I need anything, thanks guys.

Alright, as you can tell from my profile, I haven't been here long. Will do.

How would I go about adding an alignment/reputation type attribute to my main character. I want to make it so that some of his choices can arc the story and give a bit of control to the player. I can see how I would make it increase or decrease and also how I could make it affect things with the variable, but I'm not sure how to add a whole new stat in. I'm guessing it would be done by scripting, does anyone have any advice or help?

Hi, my name is jbryant and I'm a lifelong RPG fan. Actually that's kinda BS because I'm probably older than most (27) so I started RPGing with Dragon Warrior and the original Final Fantasy. I played all the way through VI (or III at the time) and didn't play much after that due to my almost ridiculous loyalty to Nintendo. I have played Breath of Fire I and II, 7th Saga (which I never beat!), Secret of Mana, Ogre Battle and I'm playing a ROM version of Tales of Phantasia. I'm currently working on an RPG which is based on real world events starring a hero who is a mercenary (original I know). I've made some progress and I have a friend who is going to do some music for me. I find the tilesets included kinda limited, but luckily my wife is quite an artist and likes the drudgery of map making. Finally on a personal note, I'm an Air Force Officer at Beale AFB in northern California. I live with my wife and my dog. I'm currently studying for my master's degree. That's about it.
