[edit] This Page

This page is a pet project to show the parts of the character sheet. It is a work in constant progress and will change as more gets added to the system, affecting characters. This is not how I think the sheets should be formatted. It is to help visualize what is being said on the other pages. With this said, please leave the editing of this page solely to myself. Anything that you think could be done differently, please post on the discussion page only. This will help me keep the page a little clearer and hopefully more understandable.

Well, this isn't exactly how the character sheet will look. Instead it is more of a current representation of the mechanics. Showing how things could look, but not actually in the form of a character sheet.

[edit] Disclaimer

Everything on this page is for example only. It is not here for use as guidelines for creating a certain type of character, nor is it to show how to make an powerful type of character. The use of the terms "Fighter," "Smart Man," and "Preacher Man" are used to give a very vague definition of what a person with similar attributes might be in life, as are the flavor texts for each.

[edit] Abilities

In these examples both the Primary Attribute and its parts receive a score. The parts receive allocated points and the Primary is the average of its parts, always rounded down.

[edit] Starting Characters

All characters were given 90 points to allocate. This gives them the ability to be average in every way, as seen by the first person. The following three chose not to be average in certain areas to be better in others.

[edit] Advanced Characters

Due to not knowing exactly how attribute points will be earned, or how levels will be dealt with: the following are not given a level. I will give the assumed to be around the equivalent of level 10 in most D20 based games. Again, this is a rough estimate only give to see how a character might have developed. The average person has been removed due to it simplicity.

Someone who is the first man in the fight, up close and personal.

[edit] NOTE

Please note that although all three of the above characters have gotten the same amount of points to allocate, the "Preacher Man" has a total of 40 points in his Primary attributes, where the others only have 39. This is because of how the Primary Attributes scores are gotten (average of its parts). If the "Preacher Man" where to have put 1 point from any of his Spirit Attribute anywhere else, he would have had a lower Spirit, without raising the others.

[edit] More Advanced

These are again the same three characters, now around the equivalent of level 20, with the same reserves as mentioned above.

[edit] Skills

I'm only going to put a small bit on here until better details for skills are hashed out. This is what I'm looking at the skills to work. The first part is an example of how it is broken down. Second is an excerpt from combat because it seems the easiest to show.

MAJOR SKILL NAME Score
Minor Skill Name Score XP/XP needed
Minor Skill Name Score XP/XP needed
Minor Skill Name Score XP/XP needed 


COMBAT    2
:Unarmed     8     72/90
:Knives      4     02/50
:Swords      7     31/80
:Staves      1     09/20
:Pole arms   0     00/10

Break down of how it works: Minor Skills level up (gain score points) by earning XP as they are used. The MAJOR SKILL gains score points at 10% (or 1%) of the cumulative score of all its minor skills. The MAJOR SKILL is added to all the Minor Skills, showing that the skills all have a common part. 

From the example, using the Unarmed skill, the PC would have a total skill of 10, Knives 6,  
Swords   9, Staves 3, and Pole arms 2.
