Make a Template - Template Generation Example
This example shows how to generate a character template. (See 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
Sabertooth Penguins are around 40 to 90 kg and 0.75 to 1.5 meters tall. They are similar to humans in speed, power, health and agility so we give them 2 speed and power, 4 agility, no health modifier.
2. Abilities
As super-fast waddling predators, Sabertooth Penguins have no lame disability. Their flippers give them a +3 swimming ability modifier.
3. Natural Weapons and Armor
Sabretooth Penguins have clawed hands with 0.5 meters of reach and a manual dexterity modifier of 0. Their teeth and claws are somewhat sharp (1/3 sharpness.)
4. Character Points (CP)
2 power, 2 speed, 4 agility and no health modifier are all worth 0 CP. 0.5 m reach is worth 100 CP. 1/3 sharpness is worth 400 CP. 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 1200 CP.
