[edit] Intro

I am getting this page up so that I can start fleshing it out.

Character creation is one of the most important aspects of a game system, and is over all vital to any implementation, on paper, or on the computer.

[edit] Character Creation Steps

1. Biographical Information
2. Choose Abilities Scores
3. Choose Merits/Flaws
4. Choose Skills
5. Choose Special Abilities

[edit] Biographical Information

This part is probably mostly self explanatory. Some aspects of it though may have in game effects in many systems/settings.

Here you choose:

• Name
• Age
• Race
• Height
• Weight
• Eye Color
• Hair Color
• Background events

[edit] Choose Primary Attributes

You have 90 points to distribute among your primary attributes.

The primary attributes are as follows:

• Intelligence, Wisdom, Fortitude
• Strength, Agility, Constitution
• Power, Gnosis, Quintessence

These attributes fall into three categories (Mind, Body, and Spirit), and each of those categories has an associated attribute of the same name. The base value for these three attributes is the average of the attributes in the category.

For instance, if you have:

• Intelligence: 10
• Wisdom: 10
• Fortitude: 10

Then your Mind value will be 10.

If you have

• Intelligence: 8
• Wisdom: 10
• Fortitude: 8

Then Mind will be 8 (26/3 = 8.667)

If you don’t spend all your points here, they may be used in later steps.

[edit] Choose Merits/Flaws

Here you will choose attributes that give you various benefits and difficulties.

Some will be specifically good. These are merits, and they cost you points.

Some will be specifically bad. These are called flaws, and will give you extra points to spend.

Some will be a little more balanced, and that will impact their cost.

List Comming Soon

[edit] Choose Skills

In this stage you will be given a number of skill points to spend on starting skills. More details on this will follow soon.

[edit] Choose Special Abilities

If you have any points left at this point, you can spend them to purchase special abilities, and powers. More info coming soon. :-)
