Steampunk Characters[edit | edit source]

Each character is built with

  • 16 points of Attributes. Each Attribute costs 1 points and maximum is 13.
  • 16 points of Skills. Each Skill costs 10 points to gain Skill level 10, 1 point per step after that, with a maximum of 13.
  • 16 points of Schticks. Each Schtick normally costs 2 points, but can be upgraded with any number of points. Maximum total bonus from Schticks is 13 (Add Effect and AV together to check).
  • 16 points of Free points. These points may be used for anything, but at least one Class or Role is recommended.

Character building rules[edit | edit source]

Character points[edit | edit source]

Normally, characters are built on 64 points, divided into 3 parts. This may change depending on the campaign or setting.

Any type of points may be used to buy Perks and Flaws at normal cost.

Character Attributes[edit | edit source]

All attributes start at 5, except Soul attributes which start at 0.
Attributes can be found here

Point Costs[edit | edit source]

Attribute Points[edit | edit source]

1 Attribute point buys +1 in an Attribute (up to the Attribute maximum, normally 10 before modifiers).

Skill Points[edit | edit source]

1 Skill point buys 10 in a Skill. The first 1 point in a Skill also provides 1 Proficiency.
1 Skill point buys 1 Proficiency or +1 in a Skill.

Schtick Points[edit | edit source]

2 Schtick points buy 1 Schtick. Some Schticks cost differently.

All points[edit | edit source]

Any points may be used to buy Perks and Flaws.

Character Classes[edit | edit source]

There are a number of (often campaign-specific) Classes that change some aspects of a character.

Skill Max[edit | edit source]

You may not have more than the square root (total points/10) +7 in an Attribute, Skill or Schtick bonus. This is called the CampaignMax, AttributeMax, SkillMax or SchtickMax. There are Perks that raise the Max, and Classes that do the same.

Total Points CampaignMax Total points CampaignMax
0 7 49 14
1 8 64 15
4 9 81 16
9 10 100 17
16 11 121 18
25 12 144 19
36 13 169 20

The following table shows the experience needed to reach, or the character points received at, a certain Max. Sometimes the point total of a Character also includes an extra starting pool that is not included here, and sometimes the amounts are doubled, tripled or manipulated in some other way.
