HorizonVirtual:Igtenio's Kernel And Shell System

From RPGnet
Jump to: navigation, search

This's derived from the Wound and Vitality System from Unearthed Arcana, and featured in the Star Wars Roleplaying Game. I've renamed Wounds as Kernel (Since the core component of a Program is usually its Kernel), and Vitality as Shell(Since the Shell is the outer layer of a Program). Otherwise it's the same.

Shell Point Chart[edit]

New Feats for use with the Kernel and Shell System[edit]

Note that, in this case, Toughness becomes obsolete, and should not be a selectable Feat. If a Class, Race or Heritage offers Toughness, it should be replaced with Strenghened Shell.

Strengthened Shell[edit]

Requirements: None

One-time gain of 5 Shell Points

Reinforced Kernel[edit]

Requirements: None

One-time gain of 3 Kernel Points.
