===Make a Template - Template Generation Example===  
  
−
To demonstrate the creation of a character template, this tutorial will show how to create a human template which can be used for many RPG settings. This template can be used to create most adult human characters, including both men and women.
+
This example shows how to generate a character template.
 +
(See [[Mano a Mano:Templates|Game Design/Templates]].)
 +
I envision a Template of nasty monsters called "Sabretooth Penguins" which are about human sized but stockier, with clawed hands and sharp teeth.

'''1. Dimensions and Modifiers''' -
−
| valign="top" |
+
Sabretooth Penguins are around 60 kg and 1 meter tall.
−
'''1. Build''' -
+
They don't vary in size as much as humans do, so they have low variance.
−
A quick Internet search suggests that average humans are around 75 kg and 1.7 meters tall.
+
They are similar to humans in speed, power, health and agility,
−
Most humans are within 20% of average height but many are more than 10% taller or shorter, so  
+
so we give them 2 speed, 4 power and agility and no health modifier.
−
humans have medium variability (worth 0 CP.)
 
−
Humans have 1 speed (worth 30 CP), 3 strength (worth 30 CP), 5 toughness (worth 25 CP), 0 agility (worth 0 CP), 5 running (worth 50 CP). Humans have no swimming, although individuals can learn to swim, and no airspeed because they cannot fly.

'''2. Abilities and Qualities''' -
+
'''2. Abilities''' -
−
Humans have no special abilities or disabilities.
+
As super-fast waddling predators, Sabertooth Penguins have no lame disability.
 +
Their flippers give them a +3 swimming ability modifier.
  
−
'''3. Natural Defenses''' -
+
'''3. Natural Weapons and Armor''' -
−
Humans have two or more natural weapons, which is worth 0 CP.
+
Sabretooth Penguins have clawed hands with 0.5 meters of reach and a manual dexterity modifier of 0.
−
They have two hands, which together are worth 20 CP.
+
Their teeth and claws are sharp.
−
Humans have no natural armor.
 
  
−
'''4. Template CP''' -
+
'''4. Character Points (CP)''' -
−
The total CP value of our new human template is 105 CP.
+
2 power, 2 speed, 4 agility and no health modifier are all worth 0 CP.
−

0.5 m reach is worth 100 CP.

sharp sharpness is worth 1000 CP.
