Mano a Mano:Template CP

Template CP

Total CP

A template's total CP value is the sum of the CP of the template's health, speed, agility, power, abilities, disabilities, natural weapons and armor.

Health CP

Each point of health is worth 200 CP.

Ability CP

A template's ability CP is the CP of a template's natural ability and disability moidifers plus any special CP the abilities or disabilities might have. Some exceptional abilities - like flight - have a special CP value just to have the ability even if the ability has no modifier. (The special CP of a natural ability is part of the template's CP, so it is not added again to the character's CP.) For example, having the flight ability with a modifier of 0 adds 500 CP. Flight with a +3 modifier adds 1100 CP: +3 ability modifier (600 CP) plus the special CP for flight (500 CP).

Flight (500 CP)

Flight ability has a special CP of 500. The flight modifier affects how fast and maneuverable the character is while flying. Flight with a modifier of 0 means a character can barely fly horizontally at the same speed they were going when they took off.

Agility, Speed and Power CP

The CP of agility, speed and power is loosely based on 200 or 500 times the ability CP scale.

Agility   0     1     2    3    4    5    6    7     8
CP      -2000 -1200 -600 -200   0   200  600  1200  2000

Speed     0   1/4   1/2    1    2    3    4    5
CP     -5000 -3000 -1500 -500   0   500  1500 3000

CP      -2000 -1200 -600 -200   0   200  600  1200  2000  3000  4200  5600  7200

Natural Armor CP

The CP of natural armor is the absorption level on the ability CP scale multiplied by the cover.

Natural Weapon CP

The CP of each natural weapon is the sum of the CP of the natural weapon's reach and sharpness, plus 100 CP if the weapon's quantity is greater than 1. The reach and sharpness CP is the same for natural weapons and artificial weapons (weapons which are not part of a template.) (See Character Creation/Character Equipment/Equipment CP.)

Manual Dexterity CP A template's dexterity CP is based on the two hands with the most dexterity (best and second-best.) Templates with no hands have -1500 dexterity CP. Dexterity CP for templates with a single hand is 2 times the hand's dexterity minus 500. If a template has a second-best hand with less dexterity than the best hand, then the dexterity CP is the dexterity of the second-best hand plus 2 times the dexterity of the best hand. If the best and second-best hands have the same dexterity (an ambidextrous template for example) the CP is 300 times this dexterity.		Dex			CP
