Make an Item - Equipment Generation Example
We will use our Modre Character from the character creation example to make a new weapon. (See Character Creation/Make a Character.)
1. Add up your Modifiers
- Start with Modre's +2 Craftsmanship modifier.
- Modre works on the weapon 4 hours. That gives him another +5 modifier, for a total of modifier of +7.
- Modre uses the super science available to him from a crashed flying saucer near his arctic home. We add an additional +8 modifier for his access to this "future age technology." Now the total modifier for making his weapon is +15.
- The laser drills he uses from the saucer are "state of the art technology," giving him another +4 modifier and making the total modifier +19.
2. Roll vs Zero
The next step is to roll the total modifiers versus zero to get the success level of the Modre's attempt. Let's say we roll a 3, for a total of +22, and the opposing roll is a 2, so the success level for this action is +20. We multiply the success level by 100 CP and find that Modre can make a weapon with 2000 CP.
3. Distribute the CP
- Modre is making an "ice blade," so we definitely want it sharp. We'll designate 600 CP for 1/2 sharpness. That leaves 1400 CP.
- Then we need some reach, so we use 200 CP to get 1 meter reach for the ice blade, bringing the remaining CP down to 1200.
- We'll use 600 CP to make the ice blade's power 4, leaving 600 CP.
- The rest of the CP can be used to reduce the weapon's heft. For 600 CP, 4 times the ice blade's power minus heft should be -1. In other words the weapon's heft should be 1 point more than 4 times the item's power, so the ice blade's heft is 17.
Modre had a +2 ability modifier for making ice weapons, spent 32 hours working on the ice blade, used state of the art tools and future age technology, and did well on his roll (his 3 versus the opposing 2) to give us a total of 2000 CP for making the ice blade. With that CP we were able to make an "ice blade."
