Character Stats
Strength |
For Melee attacks and Melee dmg. A successful Melee hit ALWAYS does at least 1 pt of dmg |
Agility |
Effects AC, ranged attacking, initiative, dual-wielding, and REFLEX saves |
Stamina |
Effects HP and FORT saves. You always earn at least 1HP per level, no matter what your STA stat is. If STA 5 or less, you always take double dmg from poison and disease |
Personality |
A very important stat for PCs, as they are trying to be popular TV personalities. Not a dump stat!!! Messengers and Blaster use to cast spells, Jammers use to boost the crowd. If you're gonna Grandstand, you'll need this |
Intelligence |
Perception, discern info, etc. If INT is 7 or less, you can only speak one language, INT = or < 5 means you're utterly illiterate |
Luck |
Favor of the gods! |
| |
Applies to Birth Auger, and what you apply your Luck to |
| |
Your LUCK MOD never changes, even if you burn/lose some luck |
| |
Luck also effects rolls like crits, fumbles, etc. |
| |
You can permanently burn luck on a 1:1 basis to boost a die roll |
| |
You can roll vs Luck for certain special feats, Judge must agree to you using it that way |
| |
Luck can be regained over time, especially if you do stuff your deity likes |
Saving Throws |
- all level 0 PCs start with +0 to all saves but do get the STAT mod bonuses to the save |
| |
FORTITUDE - boosted by STAMINA, use vs physical threts |
| |
REFLEX - boosted by AGILITY, use for reaction-based situations |
| |
WILLPOWER - boosted by PERSONALITY. Use vs mind-influencing threats |
Languages |
Everyone starts with English |
| |
For every point of INT mod, you get one more language as approrpriate |
Roll 3D6 down the line for all of these. No wimping out!
