Mano a Mano:Template CP

Template CP

Template CP is the sum of the template's ability, disability, variability, toughness, power, speed, agility, natural weapon and armor CP.

Template Ability CP

The CP of a template ability is the ability modifier times 15: 15 CP for a modifier of 1 or 30 CP for a modifier of 2.

Template Variability CP

No variability is worth -10 CP. Low variability is worth -5 CP. Medium variability is worth 0 CP. High variability is worth 5 CP.

Template Toughness CP

Each point of template toughness is worth 5 CP.

Template Power CP

Each point of template power is worth 10 CP. A natural weapon point of additional power is worth 5 CP, but natural weapon power does not increase the character's carrying capacity or make it easier to wield hefty weapons in any way.

Template Speed CP

1/4 speed is worth -30 CP. 1/2 speed is worth 0 CP. 1 speed is worth 30 CP. 2 speed is worth 60 CP. 3 speed is worth 90 CP.

Natural Armor CP

The CP of template's natural weapons is based on their quantity, sharpness and number of hands:

Quantity CP

Quantity CP is based on the total quantity of all of the template's natural weapons. No natural weapons (0 total quantity) is worth -50 CP. A single natural weapon (1 total quantity) is worth -20 CP. Two or more natural weapons is worth 0 CP.

Template Range CP

The range of a natural weapon is worth 1 CP per meter.

Sharpness CP

Blunt sharpness is worth 0 CP. One sharp natural weapon is worth 20 CP, two or more sharp natural weapons is worth 30 CP. One padded natural weapon is worth 5 CP. Two or more padded natural weapons is worth 8 CP. For example, the sharpness of 10 razor blades (sharp) and 10 electro-shock tentacles (padded) would be worth a total of 38 CP (8 + 30.)

Each natural weapon that is a "hand" capable of wielding tools or weapons is worth an additional 10 CP.
