Character creation

#1 Post by Fulci »

Premises: You are lucky. You live in a Vault, the only place fit for human habitation on the nuclear wasteland called Earth. You are a second generation Vault Dwellers, born & raised underground, sheltered from radiation, mutants, and who knows what else. Without the Overseer's protection and the thick concrete walls, death is inevitable. Of course, you are confined to a small space, food is bland and rationed, but at least it's nutritious and not contaminated by the poisons of the post-Atomic age. For you, the Vault is the world.

Until one day...

Characters: Level 1 Humans. Traits & Skills should reflect your Vault-upbringing and specialization. Young Vault Dwellers, 16-24 years of age. You know each other well - we will outline these relationships collectively during character generation. Your relationships with prominent NPCs will also play an important part in the first phase of the game.

Character creation is by the book, except that you are not allowed to tag Big Guns, Pilot and Outdoorsman (due to the Vault upbringing).


You can find a self-filling excel sheet here: http://www.mediafire.com/view/215vbb7u8 ... er_1.0.xls. Using this is not obligatory, but it's quite helpful when calculating your skills.

For forum usage, here's a character template (thanks, Rukellian!):

Lawrence's childhood pinned him as the typical nerd. He was always hunched over, his nose in a book, and he would always get high grades in class but found himself lacking in the social and physical skills. His teacher was his only friend as far as he knew. When he came of age and was old enough to work for a living and be on his own, he readily took up the dreaded night shift. He knew a lot about machines and overall vault maintenance due to all of the books he read. He was most awake during the long nights too, thanks to his studying habits. Suffice to say, he got the job of night shift mechanic without much hassle. In fact, they practically threw it at him.

The hum of machinery, the creaks and groans of various pipes, the flickering of light fixtures, and the clicking of keyboard buttons became his life. It was all he heard, and all he needed. Friends were hard to come by given the hours he worked, and those who did go out of their way to meet him, only piled on broken stuff for him to fix. 'Favors'. And his reward each time? 'Thanks'. His life was like this for a good few years until...
I am leaving my character backstory open to changes. As the other players shape their own character's they may want to have some sort of connection with Lawrence. Could be that they are on good terms with him, bad terms, strictly on business, or have just heard rumors of his existence :lol: I will edit his backstory accordingly if I like where certain stories are heading. Who knows? He might just have a friend yet and didn't even know it! :)

Rukellian:

The only minor issue I see is your PE rating:
PE: 7 (7 at night, 5 during the day)
The base rating should be 6.

Also, please, recalculate the related skills. Your First Aid is 2 x (PE+AG) = 2 x (7+6) = 26% by night and 2 x (5+6) = 22% during the day.

#5 Post by Rukellian »

Hmmm, is my math off? I start off with 5 in each stat. I am given the option to add and subtract so long as it equals out, right? We are given an additional 5 points to work with on top of the base 5 for each stat. So...

5
5 +2
5 -1
5 -1
5 +4
5 +1
5

My perception would be at 7 normally, but with night person and tech wizard active at the same time, the night time value would go down one but balance out by going back up one. During the day, it would drop by two. So in other words, it will be normal at night, but have a -2 penalty during the day. Does this all add up or am I overlooking something :?

Ah, overlooked the first aid one, thanks!

Yeah, your Traits stack, which leads to some confusion.

My interpretation is that your Tech Wiz negative mod. applies to the BASE stat, so it comes before the Night Person trait. If you are shortsighted, you are shortsighted both day and night.

You start with PE 5
-you spend two points
PE 7
-you take Tech Wiz
PE 6
-apply Night Person: 7 by night, 6 during the day

Hmmm, I can understand the base of six before applying night person, I will switch that out shortly, but then I want to make sure I read night person correctly. If my PE base is at 6 now, it would still go down by one point during the day due to being a night person, as well as my IN, 7 PE by night, and 5 PE during the day.

So the way I see it in layman's terms: My guy has poor eyesight (probably wears glasses), Stat Debuff in effect, Tech Wizard. During the night, he is more awake Stat Buff in effect, Night Person. During the day, he is sleepy and his eyes have a harder time staying open, alert, Stat Debuff in effect, Night Person.

.... honest, I don't usually like arguing with people, especially when they say my stats should be higher! :lol: But I am a stickler on these sort of things, unfortunately. If you still do not think that that's how night person works, I will back down and bump my 5 PE during the day up to 6 :roll: The DM/GM has the final say after all ;)

Okay, I confused myself as well a bit and made a typo in my previous post...
This:
-apply Night Person: 7 by night, 6 during the day
should be read as "7 by night, 5 during the day".

So we are in agreement!

He lived inside the vault all his life and he cared for everyone as close friends and family, but he knew the stories of the outside world and the different things that could have happened to those not lucky enough to get into the vaults, and he never stopped wondering if he could ever help those people one day.

Everyone knows me as Max in the vault I'm hoping eventually to one day leave the vault but we shall see how that works out. My friends have a similar urge for adventure outside of the vault.

@MonkeyWrench:
Accepted! You can post it in the finished section.
You father, the Vault physician, will be an NPC.

@GreyWolfVT:
Looks good, approved!

The Chem Resistant trait is useful in the computer games because of the abundance of various drugs (including combat drugs etc. that some players use). These are less common in our version. Also, keep in mind that the trait shortens the duration of all chems, including, for example Rad-X (which is not addictive).
I'm giving you a 10% bonus to Poison Resistance against non-natural poisons to balance this.

Hey, I was thinking... perhaps Lawrence works along side Max's father? Oh wait, maybe they work different shifts? Would make sense either way.

It's good we got a doc on the team too!

Anything else that needs to be fixed on my sheet Fulci, or is it ready for the finished character thread as well?

Can't wait to see what the others cook up :)

Makes sense, Max's father is probably the head of all mechanics! I will add him as an NPC as well.

Noted. Edited and updated the posted sheet above. I am used to not using Rad-X and just using the radaway instead.

Before I finish, can someone explain something to me. I am working on skills and I am wondering something. When it says that a skill is a % plus whatever, does that mean you add .1 to the skill? As in if my ST and AG equal 9 and you add 10% to it, it would be 9.1%? Just kind of confused on that.

And I would do it on Excel, but I don't have Excel at the moment.

Accepted! You can post it in the finished section.
You father, the Vault physician, will be an NPC.
Will do! I'm glad I got the approval, took me way too long to figure out what the PDF meant with those skill formulas :lol: :?
That's why the Excel character sheet I posted is very useful!

Take your time to familiarize yourself with the system if needed!
Not everyone has MS Office to use excel btw ;)

When it says that a skill is a % plus whatever, does that mean you add .1 to the skill? As in if my ST and AG equal 9 and you add 10% to it, it would be 9.1%? Just kind of confused on that.

And I would do it on Excel, but I don't have Excel at the moment.
No, you make it all a % number so it is 9 + 10 = 19% :) hope that clears that part up.
