Hectic few days, but things are moving along.

Question: for goblins it says in the setting document that they get 3 attribute points per member. With 6 bodies that makes 18 points, are they treated like regular XP, on top of the 60XP everyone starts with for attributes?

 

[Grey]

My keyboard crapped out on me or I'd have gotten back to you sooner.

I'm actually toying with re-writing that; here's what I've got.

Each Goblin contributes 1 point of a Physical Attribute, so all six working together can reach Strength 6, for example.
Then you get 48XP for the other six Attributes.

 

[ThaDruid]

Ey it's all good
So these goblin points can go over the race cap? (For example their max strength of 2)

Yeah, I'd probably abandon their caps in this case because you can't always fit all six around something requiring six Strength.
Like even if you had them collectively wield a big fuckin' sword, it'd be hard to leverage their full combined strength when swinging it, for example.

More streamlined chargen stuff, even though it looks like everyone dropped out I might as well have it somewhere.

All Attributes start at 1. You have 60 Attribute XP (see exceptions).
You can spend it according to the chart below.
[chart goes here]

All Skills start at 0. You have 60 SKill XP.
You can spend it according to the below chart.
[chart goes here]
Note that Skills are general until level 3. From level 4 onward, choose a Focus - a particular area of the Skill where your character has put in extra practice. You can have multiple Foci, and the cost is the same every time you buy a new one.

Next, choose 3 Advantages. These are reflections of your background, education, and social role.
For your Familiarity, choose 3 Social Skills and a situation in which they are specially honed - for example, Courtly Manners or Criminal Gangs.
For your Knowledge, choose 3 Mental Skills and a field of study or academic practice where they are particularly focused - for example, Manatech or Crime Scene Investigation
For your Training, choose EITHER 3 Physical Skills and a particular style of engagement (or disengagement) where they're most practiced - for example, Sniping or Brawling
OR choose a Martial Art that you qualify for and select the appropriate Techniques.

Finally, apply static values like Health, Condition, or other and calculate dervied stats like the combat block according to the below list

Grey - heya!
Same chargen spend rules as Righteous Fiends?

Also, so a Goblin character is actually SIX Goblins?

 

[Grey]

Very similar to Righteous Fiends; some tweaks.

And yes, a goblin is a teeny little hivemind

Diabolical!
I feel compelled to play it now.
Especially with a Collective name like "Sapper Unit 404" or "Kitbash's Kripplers"

 

[BarrenThin2]

Is this based off a specific system that I'm missing, or is it one you made?

 

[Grey]

It's one I made; I believe I put the basics of chargen in the character thread, and the setting document should have the more complete rules (with a little editing still to be done; the core game is feature complete but this spin-off needs polish).

 

[dr xenon]

I'm not seeing the point expenses for the build process in the char thread. Am I missing something?

 

[Grey]

I am a huge dolt and didn't add them to the first post.
While I copy that over you can also find it on the first couple pages of this thread.

Got it! thanks.
And costs are cumulative.

 

[SP3CT3R]

So is this thing happening again?

 

[Grey]

Assuming people make characters this time, yes.

 

[SP3CT3R]

Assuming people make characters this time, yes.

Mind if I join in, even though I was one of the people who didn't make a character last time?

 

[Grey]

You're absolutely welcome. Life happens.

Speaking of which I'll clean up the chargen post after work.

 

[SP3CT3R]

Nice. I think I'm gonna go with what I planned on before, either a Magi (specifically an edgelord atheist troll Magi) or a Scion (probably Hulbrad again, but I kind of like the idea of a bastard Lybar)

 

[dr xenon]

FYI - I'll probably be working on the Goblin crew this weekend.

 

[SP3CT3R]

Also, can I get a refresher on how magic and Scion abilities work?

And the Elementals and other Paths, for that matter, if it's not too much trouble? I like knowing my options.

 

[Grey]

A lot of it is in here: Darkening Skies
But I need to tweak and clarify a few things.
Current build of Magi content is here: Magic Only

 

[SP3CT3R]

Okay so my edgelord troll magi concept has mutated from "asshole atheist" to "metal singer wannabe" so would most trolls regard using instruments to create music as offensive in any way?

Nope. Kind of... weak, but that's not quite right. Sounds like they're going to be a bit of an outsider anyway so they're just going to be considered weird rather than offensive. Maybe some elders would be offended but lol ok crooner

Fair enough. He's still learning how to blaspheme properly.

 

[Grey]

Work on the idea and we can always tweak him to blaspheme harder, if you want him to be a serious outcast and religious criminal.
Still a Magus or just the world's biggest guitarist?
