The occupations example shows characters being awarded with a certain CP-worth of equipment. Instead we should say something like "in this example each item is worth it's CP value in small silver coins. The knight is rewarded with equipment whose value in coins equals the robber's CP."

- experience
- Whether measured in CP or smaller units, experience will not be on the character sheet.
Compact Characters
Some games will have some characters who only need a little bit of information instead of full character sheets:
- stock villains and monsters which only need combat stats and sometimes a few special qualities or abilities.
- battle-on-a-page where two facing pages of an RPG book contain everything a player or GM needs to play one side (the "NPC" side) of a battle.
- book-of-beasties which contains dozens of creatures which need to be playable. Most of these creatures won't have equipment.
- a "how to" format for beginning players, explaining how to do basic actions, what dice to roll, etc.
- "collectible characters" (action figures, miniatures, cards or comic books about characters) with a little stat section, possibly a "full" mano a mano character as well as "how to" stats or stats for a simpler game like minimam.
Random Damage Variant
For each successful attack roll the smallest die or combination of dice whose maximum total is equal to or greater than the attack power. Depending on the dice available you could use a 4-sided die for 1, 2, 3 or 4 power, a 6-sided die for 5 or 6 power, an 8-sided die for 7 or 8 power, a 10-sided die for 9 or 10 power, a 12-sided die for 11 or 12 power, a 20-sided die for 13 to 20 power, two 20-sided dice for 21 to 40 power and three 20-sided dice for 41 to 60 power. The damage and stun caused by the attack is the roll or the attack power, whichever is less.

If you change the character sheet format when editing any of the following, you must update the others:
Be sure you know which character sheet you are updating:
