Mano a Mano:Character CP

Character CP

Total CP

A character's total CP value is the sum of the character's template CP, build CP ability CP and other CP (such as the CP of missing limbs.)

Template CP

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

Build CP

The CP of a character's build comes from the table to the right.

Missing Limbs

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 from their other CP. 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 -100. If a human sword fighter looses his right hand in a fight then he only has one hand with -1 manual dexterity (-700 CP), so subtract the difference (600 CP) from his other CP.

Customizing Character Size, Agility, Health and Power

Characters have 7 size options: tiny, very small, small, average, big, very big and huge. Size determines length and reach by adding or subtracting a percentage from the template's average length and reach. Size also affects mass, agility, health and power.

		variance		length		reach		agility		mass		health		power
tiny		high		-30%		-30%		+2		-60%		-3		-6
very small		medium		-20%		-20%		+1		-40%		-2		-4
small		low		-10%		-10%		0		-20%		-1		-2
average		none		±0%		±0%		0		±0%		0		0
big		low		+10%		+10%		0		+30%		+1		+2
very big		medium		+20%		+20%		-1		+60%		+2		+4
huge		high		+30%		+30%		-2		+100%		+3		+6

Characters with low, medium or high variance also have the following options:

slow		Subtract 1 from the character's agility and increase their mass by 50%.
fast		Add 1 to the character's agility and decrease their mass by 20%.
fragile		Subtract 1 from the character's health.
tough		Add 1 to the character's health.
weak		Subtract 1 from the character's power.
powerful		Add 1 to the character's power.

Reach, agility, health and power modifiers have a character point value.

 200 CP x (character reach - template reach) see equipment CP
+ agility CP for agility modifier (-3 to +3) see template CP
+ health CP  for health  modifier (-7 to +7) see template CP
+ power CP   for power   modifier (-4 to +4) see template CP

Ability CP A character's ability level has the same CP value as a template's 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 300 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 -600 CP.	CP		Disability

	-300		-2
	-100		-1
	CP		Ability
	100		1
	300		2
	600		3
