A temporary character creation is in effect right now, whilst the skill selection system is being tweaked.

I will make the majority of characters for people, but most of the important decisions will be taken by you.

Please refer to the Main Rules thread

From each of you I need:

1. Your favoured physical stat

2. Your favoured mental stat

3. The powers you want.

Choose a number of power depending on your planned role:

Fighter: 12. No Gun powers

Gunner: 12. No more than two non-Gun Powers

All-rounder: 14

GUN POWERS COST DOUBLE!

Remember to be careful about taking powers which only work with low encumbrance- check what your likely loadout will be.

Oh, and obviously I need to know if you are Hacker, Veteran or Natural

... ok, get going...

Helios, Natural, All-Rounder

Favored physical stat: Strength
Favored mental stat: Dexterity

Powers:
The Path of the Passive Wings
The Path of the Storm Turtle

The Path of the Silver Prince

Are you happy about being an All-Rounder with no gun powers, John?

Might've overlooked something there...

Ahh, but then remember they cost double...

I'd suggest that if you're taking a weapon, to pick just one.

Perhaps another thing I overlooked...

Powers:
The Path of the Storm Turtle
The Path of the King on the Water

Thanks. However, one other thing- Dexterity isn't a mental stat!

As you took King on the Water, I'd suggest Charisma, sound ok?

I had Charisma, but changed Strength to Dexterity and it got lost in the process...

So,

Favored physical stat: Dexterity
Favored mental stat: Charisma

Little tinkering with Ares already. I decided against Abundant Leaping and decided to swap it for Passive Wings. Toss people around and run for another gun...

thx for editing my sheet

Ok, I've made everyone so far!

Yay!

Whoo!

So what's the projected training mission's date, then Ush? In just one month instead of two?

Well, I am planning to kick off play at the start of September.

There will be a short run-up to the training mission, though, including a briefing and what-not.

Neaty.

So...do we get to see the complete characters anytime soon?

(you should have been expecting me to ask that)

I thought I might wait on that.

*Is excited*

This is, possibly the most complciated Rle Play I've ever done. I spend too much time in the unhosted section.

Just realized that maybe I should take Swooping Eagle instead of Sharpened Scales, due to the fact that I have three powers that Swooping Eagle could be used to followup with.

Ok, noted!

Can we revive the old Zion thread before we head off into almost certain ass-whoopings again?

That would sound like a good idea to me.

yea Zion thread was fun

TWO CHANGES:

New fav Mental Stat: Intelligence

New Path: The Path of the Defensive Master instead of The Path of the Passive Wings

Okidokey!

Yea, I'm all for the Zion thread.
Then Burn can resume trying to get into San's pants...

Thanks Bart, forgot about that...

I will take a random guessing at the ship and say the Shez, mainly because it sounds so much a better name than Percy (I have no idea who's on which one...)

My character would take the philosophy path, but my overall attendance lately defies that, so I'll take combat... He's a man who punches stuff to clear his mind so it kindof fits.

So Ush, would I be able to join the Zion thread or do I need to wait for the character sheet?
PS; a quick and crappy sketch I did of him...

No no, please do join in.

Cheers mate youpi

That makes 22!

Damn our action sequences will be insanely large.

We'll see how things work out.

As ever, people will drop when they deem the system to complicated for themselves or real life constraints and all that jazz.

Must be said, though, the faithful crew of the Star Wars RPG has been nabbed...

Ahh, all part of the faithful crowd...

*is the longest playing of that faithful crowd these days* w00t

And yet I still don't know what most of you look like!

Where's the group photo?

REX found that place where you could make pics last time

I meant for real, actually.

I'm sure it'll be produced eventually.

Some of us might be invisible, though, in which case a photo wouldn't do much, would it?

holy crap i just noticed why i felt weird recently. i haven't been online enough... witch of the "USHs 2006 matrix..." threads would the powers and crap be on. kinda short on time or i would check myself...XD

All-Rounder templates can take up to 14 powers. You only have seven.

Ok, you need to choose between Fighter and All-Rounder, I'd recommend choosing Fighter since you have no Gun Powers, and you'd just need to get rid of two of your current powers. And the only other thing is you have one preferred Physical Stat and one Mental, you can't have two physical, but don't worry, these are almost all the same mistakes I made.

I believe, John, that he meant "fighter" as in the combat path side of the game.

However, Dale, if you're planning on being an All-Rounder, I HIGHLY suggest taking at least a couple of gun powers. The very idea of being an All-Rounder is to have both, after all.

Oh, that's right, I was thinking 'Hacker'. So, Dale, ignore the first part of mine, and listen to him.

Thanks for the help

Ok, now all you need to do is take away one of your preferred stats and put in a mental one, and gun powers cost as 2, so adjust them accordingly. Sorry if this is confusing, that's partially my fault.

I am learning though

You cannot be a Fighter and an All-Rounder, they're two different templates. One or the other.

I suggest reading the rules for creation very carefully...

It might help if you take a look at the characters already submitted, too.

Now the only thing left to do is adjust your powers. Gun ones cost as 2, so you need to get rid of 2 gun powers, 4 powers, or 1 gun power and 2 powers.

Of course you can!

I will propably take a Philosophy Path. My character is strongly individualistic, valuing personal freedom the most, and believes that knowledge brings freedom, though it may be more convenient to live in ignorance( like most in Matrix do).

I was also thinking of naming him Prometheus. It can be his alias in Matrix. I am nost sure what ship to choose.

Will there be an option to tweak with characters a bit after they are made?

Very likely, yes.

Dale- you cut away too many there.

And I think at this point I will be calling a halt to new sign-ups, unless they are one of my RP vets.

Ok, looks good!

ok thanks where do I start?

Try the Dojo, unless Ush can find you an open spot in the training program, though you might have quite a few pages to read Dale

The training mission is full as it is, so he can go on the reserve list.

Else, the Dojo is the best place to practice, indeed.

Ush, I'm tempted to swap out Healthy Tiger for another power. Do you want me to wait 'til after the training mission?

Permanently, you mean? No, it is fine; mission has not started yet.

Well then, I'd like to trade out Healthy Tiger for Defiant Farmer.

As a note, the normal effect of HT seems almost void when compared to that of BS.

May as well say the same about Jade Emperor. The specialist powers make up with decent Tap effects and by having bonuses.

Dammit. Gotta think about this. I'll make my final decision tonight.

I have passed on the issue, though. It will be looked at.

Originally posted by Ushgarak

*looks at Fire's and Trickster's templates*

Well, I'm officially confused then. Or can a skill package be swapped for a stat boost?

To answer your question, yes. And if there is any area of character creation that falls into the 10% 'less certain' bracket, it is probably boosts.

we both bought a boost with the freebie points GK.

Too bad I can't get both my pools to seven

Yup, they paid for them, GK.

Ah. Confusion slightly abated now; I see.

*goes back to stumbing through the template*

what about XP this time ush, you could give it in the way of freebie points (tho that would be a lot)

And allow the freebie points to be used on anything. Including combat skills.

I think that's right, but I'm probably wrong...

It's fine. The only comment is that the +1 to your MA pool you get as a Fighter is not a skill increase, it is just an extra ability. Your MA skill is 3.

are you mad? you have no defensive powers and Scales is useless with guns anyways?

Spades is learning the problem with Defensive powers in the Dojo right now. That's what training is for!

You'll get creamed even stupid mooks will get hits in. Yea I know training helps ppl like that, but I just wonder how anyone can think this might work

San- you are a point overspent on stats.

I am?

I took one of my free points that was on a skill before to put on a stat.

Stats are two free points.

And to be clear, it is two points for a stat BOOST, not to increase a stat by one. And that is the accumulating cost.
