USH'S MATRIX GAME 2006- Temporary character creation

Nicely done.

Thanks.

Well, here's my tentative first try. While I was adding stats to begin with, I realised I wasn't sure what exactly Intelligence does, bar that is it 'generally useful'.

Thanks! Looks fine.

Hacking is Intelligence + Computers, judging the best place to sneak into somewhere is Intelligence + Intrusion, navigating in the real world is Intelligence + Sewer System... and so on.

Ush, I just noticed something about the Natural All-Rounder role... lost the strength boost? Hawk will suck at swordiness if that's true.

Only specialists gets automatic stat boosts!

if my interpretation is right the Specialist is also the only one who can begin play with two stat boosts right?

dunno might want to change HT into CF

*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.

Okay, here's my first stab at it:

Hawk (Natural/All-Rounder), played by General Kaliero

Strength: 2 (4)
Dexterity: 3

Drive: (0/0/2/0) = 2
Intrusion: (0/0/2/1) = 3
Observation: (0/0/2/0) = 2
Sabotage (0/0/2/0) = 2

Packages: Operative package, Strength boost

Well, here we go. I might shuffle powers around a bit later but meh. I'll figure out something with that eventually. I pretty much kept it the same as San is currently (I only really moved one freebie point) as I'm quite happy with that setup.

I'm not quite sure how you guys came up with your MA totals. I thought it was strength plus MA?

Double post.

MA pool is str + MA but some ppl get a bonus +1 to their pool
