I'm not really sure what I want to be yet, so I might just do a bunch of rolls for both a nightbane and a superhero and see what strikes my fancy. Or maybe just be a martial artist.

Ability Rolls

Ability Set 1

Ability Set 2

Rerolling the 6 and 7 from both sets' Spd

...and by Spd I meant PB, because apparently I forgot how many attributes there are and only rolled for 7 of them instead of 8.

The real Spd rolls

So if I'm understanding the creation rules correctly that gives me starting values of 13, 15, 14, 14, 13, 13, 14, 15. Nothing exceptional, but pretty good all round.

Nightbane Rolls

Nightbane Appearance Alien Creature

Alien Creature Roll Covered in Mouths

Eh, not massively inspiring.

Superhero Rolls

Instead of rolling, I'll pick the Experiment power category (which comes with SDC 40, and I think everything else is just default)

Nature of Experiment Radiation/other energy

General Type of Experiment Deliberate attempt to alter the human (animal?) body, cannot be duplicated

Number of Abilities 2 major, 1 minor

Side Effects Vulnerable to radioactivity?

Sponsoring Organisation Secret

Organisation Motive Military

Status with Sponsoring Organisation Ran away, organisation is secret and is afraid of being exposed.

Using PU3 I'll choose to have one offensive major and minor power, and one offensive minor power, and roll on the relevant tables.

Offensive Minor Power Swing Line

Offensive Major Power APS...

APS Roll Techno-Form? That doesn't feel very steampunk, although I guess its powers could be refluffed except the Vehicle Form.

Defensive Major Power APS again, which can't be used at the same time as the one I already have, so if allowed I'll reroll.

Second APS roll Vines.

Educational Level Military, that seems thematic.
Basic Military Program at +10% (HtH: Basic, Running, Climbing, Military Etiquette, Basic Radio, WP Rifle)
One additional military/comms program at +10% - given that the only options are Military Demolitions and Communications, I guess I'll pick Communications (Basic Electronics, Basic Radio again, Scrambler Radio, TV/Video, 1 communication skill of choice - I'll pick Cryptography).
Any skill program at +5% except Science/Espionage - I'll pick Physical/Athletic and take Boxing, Gymnastics, Wrestling, and I'll use the last to boost my HtH to Expert
8 secondary skills + 2 more secondary skills from level 3 - will do these later.

Yeah, I can work with this.

Defensive Major Power Reroll if allowed Stretching. Which is still not compatible with APS.

Another reroll A second APS again!

And another one Force Aura, finally something that actually works alongside my other powers.

Techno-Form PS Bonus

APS Vines Height Bonus
APS Vines PS Bonus
APS Vines SDC

 

Animal Background Stuff

Animal Background Feral (Wilderness Survival (automatic, becomes a secondary skill), Climbing, Escape Artist, HtH: Basic (again, adds to Expert to become Martial Arts), Prowl, Tracking (automatic, becomes a secondary skill), Hunting (automatic, becomes a secondary skill), 2 WPs, 3 secondary skills, +15 BIO-E, +20 SDC, +2 PE, +2 PS, +1 PP, +1 init)

I'm probably going to go with a puma since they're probably native to the region, but just on the off-chance whatever I happen to randomly roll really appeals to me...

North America Animal Type Urban
North America Animal Specific Parrot

Full List Animal Type Mammal
Full List Animal Specific Wallaroo? I don't actually know what that is.

Nah, I'll just be a puma.

Extraordinary Speed Bonus

Changed my mind, being a wolf instead.

Wolf Affilitations

And now for a bunch of rolls to account for my stat bonuses from skills...

Speed bonus from Running
SDC bonus from Running
PS Bonus from Boxing
SDC Bonus from Boxing
SDC Bonus from Gynmastics
SDC Bonus from Wrestling

HP rolls for levels 2-5

okay, lets see if I can figure out the new dice rolling system on here... hopefully i wont screw it up too many times 🤣

 

looks like my options are

Set 1 - IQ 12, ME 14, MA 10, PS 10, PP 10, PE 13, PB 9, Spd 10

Set 2 - IQ 10, ME 13, MA 14, PS 15, PP 14, PE 11, PB 14, Spd 13

probably going with set 2 there

not sure the HP rolls worked quite right, gonna try that again... EDIT again: nevermind I figured out what is going on there it worked fine

 

Okay final array options

IQ ME MA PS PP PE PB Spd
12 14 10 10 10 13 09 10
10 13 14 15 14 11 14 13
11 21 15 15 09 15 13 10
09 08 18 12 09 18 08 20
11 28 09 11 14 15 14 09
08 13 11 08 10 12 11 14

M.E: 14

That statement is already in the build rules: "If you need a certain attribute for an occ, you can roll as many sets of attributes as you need to get an ability score array that will allow you to meet the requirements of that occ." Did you see that if you're trying to qualify for something, or is it an issue that the values in general aren't very good?

I'm open to everyone rolling a few times to get a set they're happy with -- I just wanted to write some clear rules down to get started. If you want to roll like 5-6 more times to get a character, I don't really mind. I'm happy to change the rolling rules if it will make everyone happier. I do want to have some clear rules so it's not burdensome to everyone and they're wondering 'how many times should I roll?' Let me just update the build rules and start w/ 6 sets so everyone is on the same page. I think that should probably give everyone reasonable stats -- what do you think?

now that I've messed around with this a bit, I realize this is a really powerful dice rolling set up, and I like it.

I think the issue they were more concerned with was randomly rolling a chicken as their race.

I was assuming we could choose our own race if desired, I just rolled for mine out of idle curiosity to see if anything would inspire me (and they didn't. I don't really want to be a parrot or a very lost kangaroo.)

Oh yeah, I was intending everyone to pick what mutant animal they were -- sorry if that was unclear.

[8w_gremlin]

Oh cool, that's much more fun, thanks I'll take a look and set up a character thread, thanks.
