Character Creation


Characters are created using the Savage World rules.

Attributes

You begin with:

d4 Strength
d4 Agility
d4 Smarts
d4 Spirit
d4 Vigor

You can spend 5 points to increase these - it costs 1 point to increase d4 to d6, then to d8, d10, and finally d12. Note that the normal human maximum is d10 for any attribute, you will need cybernetic augmentation to reach d12. (see below section)

Skills


You can then spend 15 points on skills. It costs 1 point to get the first d4 in a skill, then 1 point to increase die type, /up to the linked attribute/. To increase a skill above its linked attribute requires paying 2 points per die type increase.

Skills are as follows:

Strength
Strength improves damage in hand-to-hand combat.
Intimidate/Taunt

Agility
Agility allows dodging attacks and throwing non-weapon items such as grenades.
Athletics (climbing, acrobatic manuevers)
