Stat Checks

In *Monster Prom* and *Monster Camp*, successful dialogue choices are based on which Stats the player has more of between two choices, each with an assigned stat. There are six stats: SMARTS, BOLDNESS, CREATIVITY, CHARM, FUN, and MONEY.

*For example, if the player character has 13 points in FUN, and 9 in SMARTS, choosing the dialogue option associated with FUN will result in a successful outcome, and an increase in stats (ex. +2 CHARM, +1 MONEY). On the other hand, choosing SMARTS will result in a negative outcome, and a decrease in stats (ex. -2 MONEY, -1 BOLDNESS).*

The amount of certain stats a player starts the game with can be selected during the pre-game preparation phase. During a game, they can be affected by going to different locations and purchasing items from the shop (which must be purchased with, and thus decrease, MONEY).

However, the player doesn't necessarily have to succeed in a Stat check to gain favor with the monster they're romancing. These are mostly at the start of the game, when the game gives the player a chance to romance someone other than the person corresponding to the answer in the quiz at the start.

In addition, stat checks sometimes require the player to have enough of a certain stat in order to succeed, even if the player has more of that stat than the other option.

If a player succeeds a stat check, they will gain favor with the love interest they intend to pursue and/or are able to continue a route if one has started (though some can continue even after a failed check), and at least one or two stats will be increased. A failed stat check does not result in favor being gained, may prematurely end an ongoing route, and at least one or two stats will be decreased.

## Weekend Interactions

Weekend events require the player to make a choice between two other players. Choosing the other player with the most of a certain stat will provide a bonus to both players, which choosing the one with the east amount of the required stat will result in a demerit.

First line: Weekend time! You're with Miranda, Liam, [Player], and [Player] in Liam's apartment.

Last line: It will take two proficient tabletop gamers to beat the owlbear. You know you kick ass... but which of your friends is also amazing at tabletop games?

 [Player] is the best at games. They play Russian Pictionary once a month - and if they are still alive, that only can mean they always win.
 [Player] is a legend among board game players. They are one of the three survivors of the Monopoly Game Night of '98, which escalated from a technicality on a dice roll to one of our saddest national tragedies, with victims in the two digits.

First line: That weekend, Vera invites you and some friends to an abandoned warehouse to help kill a dude. You wouldn't miss it for the world.

Last line: Hell no. You're not spending your hard-earned cash on this. Luckily, you've got a super rich friend you love to take advantage of in emergencies:

 [Player] is the natural choice. They spend money just to keep from drowning in it!
 Let's bring in [Player]. They are so rich, they can actually afford to eat organic food!

First line: You're hangin' out with some of your absolute best buds --

Last line: Time to grab one of your other friends to perform this bold and daring dance with you! But which one will be up to the challenge?

 In that moment, you realize a shocking truth... Pablo survived the cougar attack, but was badly disfigured. He went through many many rounds of plastic surgery and is now known as... [Player]
 [Player] is so incredible at the Dirty Double Dragon Dance that they won Monsters Have (Monstrous) Talent with it -- AND their partner ALSO seemingly died in a freak cougar accident, so you're perfect for each other!
