A Size Guide for Realm of Empowerment!

Hi folks. This image guide is already posted in the #roe-reference channel in the discord, but I thought I'd turn it into a blog post here as a primer for the imminent launch of RoE!

First, the game operates off of growth charges which players share with one another. When used, one growth charge gets added to the stat category it was used on. You may occasionally see the term "energy" to refer to accumulated stats.

Everyone starts the game at twenty feet tall. Each point of height energy increases your height by one foot. In effect, add twenty to your current height energy will tell you your height, so you can see that you will become a Kaiju when you hit two-hundred feet tall.

"Build" refers to your musculature. This is the only subjective based stat, therefore, I've included a progressive reference guide in the image to help folks visualize which amount of build energy correlates to how bulky you become.

The remaining "silhouette" stats are all proportion based. A pet peeve of mine with many growth related RPGs is the tendency to treat each stat independently which has led to many disappointments when I put a lot of work into growing certain stats, only to "lose" it all when I then decide to add some more height. Proportions fix this. The way that the numbers are balanced is so that it takes five-hundred points to get a category to body sized, and every five-hundred points thereafter is another body size.

The silhouette categories are much lower so that it is quicker and easier to achieve the silhouette you desire. You also have the option to put a cap on certain categories to prevent you from surpassing your ideal silhouette. Or leave them uncapped and see how big they can get!

As for height, I attempted to balance the numbers so that it takes roughly a year to get to Mega macro tier. If growth proves to be too slow then I can always bump up growth income later. However, do keep in mind that the first expansion will be exploration themed, and you'll be able to get more growth by exploring!

I hope you folks enjoy the game!
