Character Creation

Oh yeah, another thing I forgot to list in the game's page, I'm also not a huge fan of how characters are rolled up. Luckily, the Referee's Handbook offers some options on p.24, so instead of rolling using the table on p.19 of the Players Handbook, simply roll 1Dx5+30 for each scores. This should give you 6 scores between 35 and 80, which are pretty in line with the results of the table. You can then assign them as you see fit. Or you can just take the standard array listed on p.19 of the Player's Handbook.

Also note that any layer wishing to play a robot character will have to choose between being "just a robot" (and to which other player they belong to), or a unique A.I.

Rolling for stats because I roll that way

80,60,40,35,50,50

I am planning on making a human medic. This character is based on Star Frontier one I played for a long time as a PBP on another forum.

Qralloq, why do you have two sets of stats rolled?

I rolled d6s at first and realized that they should have been d10s to get the 35-80 range. Let me know if my assumption was incorrect.

Oh, lol, okay. Yeah, you're right, you must doll 10-sided dice...

I would like to play a "Just a robot". That really appeals to me. If anyone wants to be my owner, just holler.

Okay, but be aware that as "just a robot", since you are basically property, you do not get a pay grade.

Edit: Nor do you gain any DP. Any character progression will have to be purchased by other players as upgrades...

I don't ever remember owning a droid.

35, 50, 70, 80, 70, 60


I am willing to take ownership, which I probably will regret knowing Qralloq. He is going to be worse than R2D2 in causing trouble.

Quoted for posterity. :P

Oh, yeah, re-reading the robot section, the WIL score does not exists for "just a robot", meaning such a robot makes WIL-based rolls using INT instead.

There's also the question of violence interlock. The default assumed none (either by design or black market hacks), though you would be welcomed to experiment with violence interlocks, either a regular one (cannot intentionally harm a living being), or use one of the modified ones (stun weapons only, can defend themselves or their owners, can hunt non-sapient prey to provide food, etc.)

Before I pick a skill and specialization, what is everyone else going with? I assume that it is important to round out the group, at least in a general way, and I don't want to double a build someone else is already working on.

Well, sounds like so far, we're going to get a medic and his robot. What does the robot do? Who knows... :P

I am bender. Please insert girder.

Nice. When we meet I'll buy you a beer.

So, I'm considering a Dralasite linguist. But I have some question concerning gear, as it appears there might be some limitations given the inconsistent body shape.

So, I'm considering a Dralasite Academic (linguistics), with secondary skills being technician (Structures) and Thievery. But I have some question concerning gear, as it appears there might be some limitations given the inconsistent body shape.

Well, as long as you're capable of having at least to legs and two arms most of the time, it shouldn't post much of a problem, but I can see how more or fewer limbs could make some equipment, such as suits, difficult to wear...

I assume that any starting equipment you begin with will have been modified to fit your biology (such as suits with extra sleeves to accommodate extra limbs which can be folded back in when not in use), but any later purchased equipment might need to be custom made or perhaps purchased back on or exported from your homeworld...

Stats where it begins.. LOL Ends sometimes. 70,70,65,60,60,45 We can rearrange right?
