Dramasailor character gen
Hey! The group are just doing some patrols to get warmed up. Character gen is quite detailed so we'll go through step by step but check in as often as you can so we can burn through it. You can subscribe to this thread if you want email notifications when I post.

Out of interest, what's your knowledge/experience of the world of Judge Dredd?

Re: Dramasailor character gen
Ok first up is characteristics.

Strength
Dexterity
Endurance
Intelligence
Influence

Education (default 10)
Social Standing (default 10)

Choose two, one physical characteristic from Strength/Dexterity/Endurance and one from Intelligence and Influence and roll 1d6+6
For the others roll 2d6
Education and Social standing for a Judge are automatically 10 so no need to roll for that.

Not sure if you've figured out the site, but on your response to this hit advanced and you can add dice rolls there to appear under the post.

Interest part first: I've read bits and pieces of the comics and have watched both movies thoroughly. I love the setting and am super interested to see just how it all plays out. :)
Choosing Dex/Int for the 1d6+6 rolls.

Rolls

Strength - (2d6)

(51) = 6

Dexterity - (1d6+6)

(6) + 6 = 12

Endurance - (2d6)

(31) = 4

Influence - (2d6)

(63) = 9

Intelligence - (1d6+6)

(3) + 6 = 9

Re: Dramasailor character gen
Awesome. Create a character using the Custom option as the system and then apply it to the game. You can then add information in as you go along.

Term One

Basic Training
Gain the following skills

Athletics (any) 1
Melee (unarmed) 1
Survival 1

Roll 1d6 for additional training.

Then roll 2d6 +2 (your highest Dice Modifier (DM) for your Dex of 12)

You need 4+ to survive unscathed.

Then roll 2d6 for an event.

Re: Dramasailor character gen
Term Three sees two additional aspects added to the
cadets’ training. The first is the Hot Dog Run – a mandatory
trip into the Cursed Earth to test the cadet’s skills, tenacity
and to educate him in the hellish wilderness beyond the
confines of the city walls. Term Three is also the beginning
of specialisations. Cadets, if eligible, can choose to be
streamed into one of the following specialist training areas:
Street Judges, Psi Division, Tek or Med.

Test for Psionics Roll 2d6. On 11+ you make it as a Psi Judge

Good question, I'll need to look into that. I've seen reference to Robotics and Electronics, so there must be definitions somewhere.

Your group is faced with extreme conditions that take every ounce of skill and technique to deal with. Roll 9+ on
2d6, using your highest skill as a DM. If you succeed, you may increase your lowest skill by 1 level or gain +1 to
any of your characteristics.

Re: Dramasailor character gen
Seem Mechanic doesn't have specialisation at all, as per Traveller skills so it would cover repairs of the Lawmasters and the like.

Mechanic
The Mechanic skill allows the character to maintain and repair most
equipment – some advanced equipment and spacecraft components
may require the Engineer skill (see page 19). Unlike the narrower but
more useful Engineer or Science skills, Mechanic does not allow a
character to build new devices or alter existing ones – it is purely for
repairs and maintenance but covers nearly everything.

I would guess not, though Electronics would help with the Lawmasters computerised system, whereas Mechanics covers the rest.

Re: Dramasailor character gen
Full Eagle Day

After fifteen years of the toughest, most rigorous training on earth, this is what it all comes down to; the culmination of the hard work and effort, injuries, set-backs and triumphs: Full Eagle Day.
Wearing the white helmet and half-eagle badge of a rookie Judge, the cadet goes onto the streets to spend a working day with a seasoned Judge who then decides if the cadet is suitable for graduation. The assessing Judge has considerable leeway in passing or failing cadets but his decision is final; there is no appeal and no second chance. If the assessing Judge fails the rookie then that is it – he must find something else to do with his life.

First up roll 2d6 to establish your assessors attitude.

Congratulations Cadet! You passed Full Eagle Day assessment and have graduated as a full Judge. You are assigned to Sector 13 where after a settling in period you will accompany a patrol of Street Judges to assist with you Tek knowledge and carrying out summary Judgements as per your training.

Good luck out there!
