Character Creation

Game Mechanics

---

Steps:

• Species List

• Select Careers (select 8 skills - start with 1 rank in 4 career skills)

• Invest XP (starting XP based on species)
• Improving Characteristic: XP = 10x the value of the new rank. Can't go beyond 5. (Must be done sequentially;E.g. 3-to-4, and then 4-to-5)
• Skill Training: max starting rank = 2. Cost for career skills XP = 5x new rank. Non-career skill cost (5x +5XP) new rank.
• Talents: 5x the tier in XP. Must have more of next lower tier to get talent (2 Tier 1s, to get 1 Tier 2 [Link to list of Talents: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1QHnCoKqFMWLiMz9k0sqcias1oXy6lgyS )

• Determine Derived Attributes:
• Wound Threshold: Based on species Wound Threshold formula. (X + Brawn). Increases to Brawn post-character creation do not increase Wound Threshold.
• Strain Threshold: Based on species Strain Threshold formula. (X + Willpower). Increases to Willpower post-character creation do not increase Strain Threshold.
• Soak: Equal to Brawn (modified by gear; E.g Chainmail = +2 Soak). Increases to Brawn (at any time) DOES increase Soak.

• Determine Motivations:
• - Desires, Fears, Strengths, Flaws.
• Select Equipment Tables , complete flavor if not done (description, personality, etc.)

• Select Languages

• Select Source Ability if a Sourcerer

• Select/Generate Lifepath
