Help Creating a Character

General

Character Information

• Give a name and description.
• Primary Cult helps assign Runes, Passions, Skills and Rune Spells.
• In a few cases Cult assigns preferred weapons. For example, Trolls use maces and slings.
• Race adjusts characteristics. e.g. Ducks are smaller, Trolls larger.

Character Archetypes

• These are mainly used to add occupational skills. Select any that apply.

Fighting Style

• Archer: The character will have a Composite Bow, and a Spot skill. They will be weaker (-20%) with Melee weapons.
• Melee: The character will be weaker (-20%) with their missile skill.
• Mixed: The character will combine all the good points of Archer and Melee. All weapon skills will be "Strong" at full level.
  • Note: A non-fighter type (e.g. a healer or caster) should probably be designated "Mixed". Adjust their Average Weapon Skill down.

Character Level

Average Characteristic.

• Characteristics (STR, DEX, etc...) will be N ±2.
• This number actually represents the "average value for 3D6". So a typical human INT will be 3 higher.

Average Weapon Skill

• No Manipulation Bonus modifier is applied; these are the "final" skill levels.
• "Strong" skills (see Fighting Style) will be N ±10.
• Weaker skills will be N-20 ±10.

Average Non-Weapon Skill

• "Strong" skills will be N ±10.
• Weaker skills will be N-20 ±10.

Note: These two skill numbers are used to calculate an "overall level" for the character. This determines many other numbers like Reputation, Runes, Passions, and Rune Points.

Armor

• Ranges from nothing to iron.

Advanced

• Click on the arrow to show an "Advanced" section.

Rounding

• For simplicity, skills are rounded to the nearest 5%. Use this checkbox to change that.

Set a Characteristic

• You can set a characteristic (POW, DEX etc.) to a specific number.
• All others will be random, based upon the Average Characteristic plus racial modifier.

Use an existing JSON file

• If you saved a characters "raw JSON" to a file, (using the "Download JSON File" button from the next page) you can reload it here.
• You can also, carefully, edit the JSON file offline to add or modify skills or characteristics.
  • Do so at your own risk. Little error checking is performed. I've done little testing.
  • You must adjust derived stats, such as Strike Rank and Damage Bonus, yourself.

Notes and TODOs

1. Intended mainly for "mid level" NPCs, not major Antagonists
2. There are probably bugs and flaws.
3. Spirit Magic is too hard to figure out automatically. Up to the GM.
4. Reputation, Runes & Passions percentages, and Rune Points, are based on overall level.
5. Up to the GM to determine Ransom, Bound and Allied Spirits, etc.
6. Many Passions are "generic", e.g. "Loyalty" instead of "Loyalty Fazzur".
7. Non-Human races and cults are based upon the Bestiary.
8. For Rune Spells, I have chosen those most relevant as an adversary. Spells like "Bless Crops" are ignored.
