Mano a Mano:Character CP

Character CP

Total CP

A character's total CP value is the sum of the character's template CP, ability CP and other CP.

Template CP

The CP of the character's template is given in the template.

Ability CP

A character's ability level has the same CP value as a templates ability modifier. The template's ability modifiers are already included in the template CP, so a character's ability CP is based on the character's ability levels, and not on the character's ability modifiers. For example, if a Character has a +6 modifier in Stealth ability and his Template has +4 Stealth, then he has 2 levels of Stealth, which is worth 3 CP. If a character has a -3 Nearsighted modifier and their template does not have this disability, then he has 3 levels of Nearsighted, which is worth -6 CP.

            Disability              Ability

Level       4  3  2  1     1  2  3   4   5   6   7   8
CP        -10 -6 -3 -1     1  3  6  10  15  21  28  36

Other CP

A character's other CP includes missing limbs CP and build CP.

Missing Limbs CP

If the character is missing any limbs described in their Template, subtract the difference between the value of the character's natural weapons and their template's natural weapons. For example, suppose a human template has a dominant hand with 0 manual dexterity and an off hand with -1 manual dexterity. The human template's dexterity CP is -1. If a human sword fighter looses his right hand in a fight then he only has one hand with -1 manual dexterity (-7 CP), so subtract the difference (6 CP) from his other CP and total CP.

Build CP

The CP of a character's build comes from the following table:
