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
Their mass is around 40-90 kg and they are 0.75 to 1.5 meters tall. Sabretooth Penguins are similar to humans in speed, power, health and agility (2 speed and power, 4 agility, no health modifier.)
2. Abilities
Their flippers give them a +3 swimming ability modifier. As super-fast waddling predators, they have no lame disability.
3. Natural Weapons and Armor
They have somewhat sharp teeth and claws (1/3 sharpness.) Sabretooth Penguins have clawed hands with 0.5 meters of reach and a manual dexterity modifier of 0.
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 1100 CP.
