This example shows how to generate a character template.
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.
(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''' -
{|
Sabretooth Penguins are around 60 kg and 1 meter tall.
| valign="top" |
They don't vary in size as much as humans do, so they have low variance.
'''1. Build''' -
They are similar to humans in speed, power, health and agility,
A quick Internet search suggests that average humans are around 75 kg and 1.7 meters tall.
so we give them 1 speed, 4 power and 4 agility.
Most humans are within 20% of average height but many are more than 10% taller or shorter, so  
'''2. Abilities''' -
humans have medium variability (worth 0 CP.)
As super-fast waddling predators, Sabertooth Penguins have no lame disability.
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.
Their flippers give them a +2 swimming ability modifier.


'''3. Natural Weapons and Armor''' -
'''2. Abilities and Qualities''' -
Sabretooth Penguins have clawed hands with 0.5 meters of reach and a manual dexterity modifier of 0.
Humans have no special abilities or disabilities.
Their teeth and claws are sharp.


'''4. Character Points (CP)''' -
'''3. Natural Defenses''' -
2 power, 1 speed and 4 agility are all worth 0 CP.
Humans have two or more natural weapons, which is worth 0 CP.
0.5 m reach is worth 100 CP.
They have two hands, which together are worth 20 CP.
sharp sharpness is worth 1000 CP.
Humans have no natural armor.
Multiple natural weapons adds 100 CP.
Ambidextrous hands with 0 manual dexterity modifier is worth 0 CP.
Swimming ability with a +3 modifier is worth 600 CP.
The total CP of our new Sabretooth Penguin template is 1800 CP.


NAME _______________________ AGE ______ SEX _____ TEMPLATE Sabretooth Penguin

The total CP value of our new human template is 105 CP.

Make a Template - Template Generation Example[edit]

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.

1. Build - A quick Internet search suggests that average humans are around 75 kg and 1.7 meters tall. Most humans are within 20% of average height but many are more than 10% taller or shorter, so 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 - Humans have no special abilities or disabilities.

3. Natural Defenses - Humans have two or more natural weapons, which is worth 0 CP. They have two hands, which together are worth 20 CP. Humans have no natural armor.

4. Template CP - The total CP value of our new human template is 105 CP.

0 variability CP
25 toughness CP
30 strength CP
30 speed CP
0 agility CP
50 running CP
0 ability and quality CP
20 natural weapons CP
+ 0 natural armor CP
105 template CP

human, 75 kg, 1.7 m height, medium variability, 155 CP
1 speed, 0 agility, 3 strength, 5 toughness, 5 running
2 hands (hand)
2 feet
