Character Creation

Any questions or comments for character creation, as well as rolls for the stats that are not set by your bio should be rolled here. Normally 5e allows point buys, or other systems to avoid random dice fails. In this game, Gamma World, we take things more light heartedly. Read through the rules and you may notice that. So do exactly as your bio says to set your base stats (usually setting one or two to a specific number and rolling the rest)

I will let you choose your own bio, either from the core rules or the DLC pdf that includes a few more bio types. Character class is always 'Gamma Wanderer'. Your 'Background' will simply be your level progression title. We all start as Scavengers. This probably won't come up during the one-shot much.

Lets have fun with it. Gamma World is far less serious than D&D.

Re: Character Creation

Sorry, I didn't read about having to do the rolls here. I'm still figuring out how to use the site and all. If you want me to, I can reroll.

I'm going to randomly roll everything - but if the Bio is human, pure strain, I'm just going to pick. I'll include 3 mutation rolls.

Awesome. Also don't forget on a 5e character sheet you need to remove a stat and rename some. My sample character in the library has it done.

Re: Character Creation

I'm working on my character right now, reading the pdf to understand it a little better and then I have to figure out all these in chat rolls and I'll post it soon!
So far I have the bio of Saurian and the tentative name of Ssilas.

Re: Character Creation

It's a Panacea Injector, which heals 3d6 and has a 50/50 percent chance of adding another mutation, which is awesome, and I think it's great that it has a pretty high complexity and my character has a negative intelligence and might not even know how to use it.

Also, one of my random junk rolls was a pickup truck, but it didn't say anything about gas or functionality, so I'll leave that entirely up to you what state it's in haha I like how random this game is and I'm excited to try it out.

Re: Character Creation

The truck is something you have, and I believe some of your traveling friends may have gas cans with something in it. I'll go ahead and say it starts at half a tank. I was hoping someone had a truck or vehicle for this. :)

Re: Character Creation

Nice! My other junk was a ladder (in the back of the pickup) and a special features DVD from a horror movie.
Before I rolled those I'd chosen a machete and compound bow as my two weapons, so now I picture my character as a stereotypical redneck/hillbilly type, except as a Saurian lizardfolk looking type. Not too smart but very strong, very hardy, and very into hunting and tracking..

Oh of course! It's just not made of hair. It's more of an ambiguous combination of scaly tentacle looking appendages, frilly skin flaps, and some small horns. In the clear shape and style of a mullet.

Re: Character Creation

Quath the Manymind is an escaped experiment. It is a massive swarm of undulating larger-than-normal sentient rats that manipulate objects in their hands. The rats pull equipment from inside of the swarm as they need it. All the rats speak together to create Quath's speech. Its voice is that of many high pitch squeaks that all go off in a squence to make the right sounds to make words. This is why it mostly uses telepathy which still has the resonance of a squeak. (I ended up using the numbers on the DLC evolutions chart, got Darkvision a second time, decided I had come to far to drop Composite, just replaced Darkvision with Composite).

Re: Character Creation

I was thinking about how my Emberborn mutation would work within the fiction to make my melee attacks deal fire damage, and I like the idea of maybe Ssilas can quickly superheat his own blood or something else inside him, so that his eyes glow red and smoke starts coming off his scales, which would lend itself to unarmed or bite attacks, and as he grips his machete it's full tang and the metal is exposed on the hilt so he just heats up the metal to do the extra damage? Thoughts, comments, concerns?

Re: Character Creation

Here I go, making a new PC!

That's an alien gamma wanderer. I call him Psibocorn. Level: 2, Proficiency bonus: +2, HD: 2d12, HP: 23
STR: 10 +0
INT: 18 +4
WIS: 10 +0
DEX: 14 +2 *
CON: 16 +3 *
CHR: 8 -1
Size; M
Speed: 30
Proficiency: Science, All weapons, shields, armor, Stealth, Investigation
Bio Mutations: Deadly Eye Ray, Psychic Resistance, Psychic Shield, Amphibian, Formidable Con, Timewalker
Equipment: wanderer's pack, laser vest (medium armor), a natase (light weapon: +4 attack, 1d8 slashing), and a trilasm (ranged gun weapon: +4 attack, 2d6 bludeoning/piercing), T-shirt with the FunCorp logo, 50' string of Christmas lights
Features: Second Wind, Action Point
Psibocorn is a humanoid alien creature, with an eye in its navel above a mouth at its waist. It has twelve limbs: two for walking (look like legs), two for lifting and grabbing (look like arms), and four used for the fine motor work of tearing apart food and feeding it into the mouth (these fold together when not in use and look vaguely like a head). Psibocorn does not have teeth, so those four feeding claws are tough appendages that tear apart food and put it in the mouth in essentially chewed form.

Re: Character Creation

Psibocorn feels the venom searing through his system...

Pulse is his new mutation.
He gains 17 HP.
Picking which skills get boosted by Expertise at 4th level: Stealth and Ancient Tech.

Edit: For the third level increase, I increased INT from 18 to 20. Also, I hadn't accounted for my Formidable Constitution mutation, which bumped my CON from 16 to 20 at first level. So instead of gaining 17 HP, Psibocorn gained 21 HP.
