Subject: Optional Character creation system
Date: Tue, 8 Aug 1995 14:08:00 EST
The following is an optional character creation system that one of my GM's
used. I don't know if it has been posted anywhere, but if it has forgive
for the redundancy.

Heres how it works. To create a character one has 134 pts. A minumum of 17
pts must be spent in each category, although no more than 40 pts can be
used. No you can't pick a category twice. In case you notice each pnt spent
in skills gives you one point to spend in skills. The "Para" category is
an optional category, left to GM's discretion. It is meant to be use for
those people who wish to play Paranormal characters, ie vampires,
shapeshifter, etc. By the way if you wondering how much points each thing
is worth it the number in the far left column. If your wondering why
different metahumans are worth more than others, it is because certain
metahumans have better advantages than others, both attribute-wise and
predudice toward-wise. Feel free to adapt this chart as you see fit.
Finally if you plan on playing a full blown Mage (those of you who like
mages) it is much better to use the book rules. The above system allows for
more diverse characters, at least thats what we figured.
Please tell me what you all think.
