[[Category:PBP]][[Category:Legends of Anglerre]][[Category:The Dawn After Steam]] ==PC generaction== * Player Characters will be superb characters. This puts them at a power level where they begin the game capital "H" Heroes. They are 5 phase characters, meaning they begin play with: ** Phases include: Early days, 2 Legends, and 2 Guest Starring roles in other PC's lives. ** 10 aspects, 2 associated with each phase ** 5 stunts ** 35 skill points, and max skill of +5 (Superb). * The game is beginning with the assumption everyone is from the same city-state. * Before players get to putting together the stats for their characters, they should think of answers for these questions: ** What is your character's concept, in a sentence? ** What does you character care about? What are they prepared to fight for? This question is oriented toward the present and right now. ** What does your character regret or is proud of? This is a question about the past of the character, and how they remember it. ** What is a goal for your character? This is, obviously, about the future the character wants. * After basic concepts are decided, players are free to put together their 1st and 2nd phases. After that, PCs will then be connected together for the later guest starring phases. * Players that wish their PCs to start in a leadership position require the following: ** The Founder stunt, which has as a prerequisite Hero, Master Diplomat, or an equivalent stunt depending on the organization in question. Without this stunt, a character can belong to an organization, but not be in charge of it. ** An aspect related to the organization. ** Make sure to take skills such as leadership. Furthermore, there are many stunts under leadership as well as a few other skills (resources) that relate to running an organization and/or benefiting personally from running one. ==Collaboration on Setting== * All players have the option to contribute to the setting two ways. ** All players are allowed to create and write up a size 3 organization or smaller. ** All players are allowed to add one aspect either to the starting city or the nearby lands. If more than 4 players wish to add aspects to the city (a size 4 organization), negotiation will occur to decide which aspects stay. ==Skill Ladder== This is the list of skills levels. You are assumed to be mediocre (+0) at everything unless stated otherwise: * +8: Legendary * +7: Epic * +6: Fantastic * +5: Superb * +4: Great * +3: Good * +2: Fair * +1: Average * 0: Mediocre * -1: Poor * -2: Terrible * -3 Abysmal As mentioned before, PCs are capped at +5. They can't have skills that start higher than that. ==Skill Pyramid== Basically, you must have more skills at one rung of the ladder then you can have at the next higher. So, you could have 1 good skill, 2 fair skills, and 3 average skills. You cannot have 2 fair and 2 average. ==Skills== Here is the list of skills in LoA (if you want descriptions, contact GM): * Academics * Alertness * Art * Artificer * Athletics * Burglary * Contacting * Deceit * Drive * Empathy * Fists * Gambling * Intimidation * Investigation * Leadership * Melee Weapon * Might * Magic Power (Specify) * Pilot * Ranged Weapon * Rapport * Resolve * Resources * Science * Sleight of hand * Stealth * Survival
