Editing Badlands Chargen

__NOTOC__
[[SWADE:_Out_of_the_Badlands|< < < Back to Main Page]]

You're a Duster, at home in the badlands. You look human, but you're really not. Life in the wilds has changed you on a fundamental level, and you and your crew and your airship are the lynchpins that holds society together.

==Source Material==
[[SWADE:_Out_of_the_Badlands|< < < Back to Main Page]]

We will be using Savage Worlds Adventure Edition - '''SWADE''' - for this game.

==Setting Rules==
[[SWADE:_Out_of_the_Badlands|< < < Back to Main Page]]

'''Heroes Never Die:''' As implied, things that should kill you somehow don't. Wild Card NPCs get similar benefit.

'''More Skill Points:'''  PCs begin with '''15''' skill points instead of 12. Additionally, '''Piloting/Boating''' is treated as a Core Skill, starting at '''d4''' instead of untrained.

'''Languages:''' Everyone in the setting speaks '''Trade Tongue'''. Dusters have developed their own secret language known only to them.

==Duster Template==
[[SWADE:_Out_of_the_Badlands|< < < Back to Main Page]]

'''Outsider''' - Dusters appear human on the surface - mostly - but civilized folk can sense something is ''off'' with them.  Subtract 2 from Persuasion rolls vs non-Dusters.

'''Environmental Resistance''' (Dust) - Dusters get +4 to resist the negative effects of Dust that plagues the  badlands.

'''Attribute Increase''' (Player's Choice) - One attribute (Agility, Smarts, Spirit, Strength, or Vigor) starts at '''d6'''. That attribute die's maximum is '''d12 +1'''.

'''Adaptable''' - Gain one free Novice edge that you meet the requirements for.

==Skills== 
[[SWADE:_Out_of_the_Badlands|< < < Back to Main Page]]

The skills '''Driving''', '''Electronics''', '''Hacking''', and '''Language''' won't see use in this game. 

Similarly, the ''Power'' skills '''Faith''', '''Psionics''', '''Spellcasting''' and '''Weird Science''' are  unavailable.

'''Focus''' is available, but will only be useful to those who take the edge, '''Arcane Background''' (Gifted).

'''Piloting/Boating''' will be treated as a single skill.

==Hindrances== 
[[SWADE:_Out_of_the_Badlands|< < < Back to Main Page]]

Because we will be posting as-available in action scenes, the '''Hesitant''' hindrance is unavailable to take. 

'''Young''' is also off the table, because I'm not willing to run kids as PCs in this game.

==Gear==
Tech level is mostly wild west-ish, if the wild west had airships. Make your choices for personal gear accordingly.

The party will collectively have their own airship, but that will get statted out by the group in the development thread.
