[http://wobow.cn/ wobow.cn] =Character Creation=
  
−
To create PCs the game will provide the players with a list of templates that players can use to create their characters, occupations which are open to beginning characters, abilities and qualities the character can develop and the maximum total CP of the new character, usually 300 CP.
+
Typically one player - the GM (Game Master) will tell the other players to create characters with a certain CP (Character Point) allowance from a list of templates.
−
A GM or game designer may follow similar rules when creating NPCs, but the limitations may be less strict.
+
(See [[Mano a Mano:Gameplay#Players and Characters|Gameplay/Players and Characters]] and [[Mano a Mano:Templates|Game Design/Templates]].)
−
(See [[Mano a Mano:Game Design|Game Design]] and [[Mano a Mano:Gameplay|Gameplay]].)
+
CP allowance and the list of template's players can use to design their characters depends on the specific game being played.
−
A finished character will have:
 
  
−
* the character's name, age, sex, template, occupation and CP value.
+
To create a character, you need a pencil and a character sheet.
−
* agility, strength, toughness, stamina, running and possibly swimming and airspeed.
+
Customize the character by choosing a template, name, age, sex, build, abilities and equipment.
−
* abilities and qualities
+
(You may also be able to give the character weaknesses, such as missing limbs or disabilities.)
−
* equipment including natural weapons and armor
+
The total CP of these options must not be greater than your Character Point allowance
−
* grapple attack, grapple defense, missile defense and melee defense
+
(See [[Mano a Mano:Character CP|Character Creation/Character CP]].)
−
* best absorption, total cover, stun and damage.
+
 
 +
{{:Mano a Mano:Character Sheet}}
 +
 
 +
{{:Mano a Mano:Character CP}}
 +
 
 +
==Choose a Template==
 +
 
 +
Select a template with a CP no greater than your Character Point allowance.
 +
The selection of templates depends on the game you are playing.
 +
Record the template's CP as the character's template CP.
 +
Copy the template's '''speed''', '''agility''', '''power''', '''health''', '''abilities''', disabilities and modifiers.
  
 
==Description==
 
==Description==
  
−
Choose a '''name''', '''age''', '''sex''', '''template''' and '''occupation''' for the character. You may also invent a more detailed description and background for your character, appropriate to the game being played. Characters can be ''male'' or ''female'' unless the template lists different options for sex. Age can be described in years, but more often as a category such as ''child'', ''youth'', ''adult'', ''old'', or ''ancient''.  
+
Make up a '''name''' for your character.
 +
If the template name includes '''sex''' or '''age'' category copy these as age and sex on the character sheet;
 +
Otherwise, choose the age of the character and a sex appropriate to the template, usually "male" or "female".
 +
Age can be described in years or as a category such as "child", "youth", "adult", "old", or "ancient".
 +
You may also invent a more detailed description and background for your character, appropriate to the game being played.
 +
Certain parts of a character's description may be limited or described differently in various games or for specific templates.
 +
Some Templates may be sexless, or height may be replaced by length or wingspan.
 +
 
 +
===Missing Limbs===
 +
 
 +
If the game allows, the one or more of the character's limbs could be missing or crippled.
 +
If the missing or crippled limb is a natural weapon, reduce the weapon's quantity (Qty) by 1.
 +
If the missing or crippled limb limb is important to movement, give the character 1 or more levels of Lame disability.
 +
 
 +
===Build===
  
−
Occupations give the character advantages, disadvantages, duties or privileges. A character may have any occupations as long as they meet the requirements for those occupations. A character can have more than one occupation if the character can meet the requirements for each occupation at the same time, or no occupation at all. (See [[Mano a Mano:Occupations|Game Design/Occupations]].)
+
Choose a build from the following list or from a list of builds provided by the template, game or GM.
 +
Some templates may have a list of builds which is different from the following example.
 +
Mechanical characters may be built to exact specifications and have no build variations, while some animals vary in size more than others.
  
−
==Build==
+
Add the '''agility''', '''health''' and '''power''' modifiers for the build to the values copied from the character's template.
 +
When a build changes a character's power their '''half power''' needs to be recalculated, so the power modifiers here also increase or decrease the character's half power by half as much.
 +
If a character's template's power is listed as "2-5" the "powerful" build will give the character  2 power and  1 half power, and you would write the character's new power as "3-7".
  
−
A character may be able to have more or less speed, agility, toughness, strength, running, swimming, airspeed, mass and length than his template.  
+
Choose a '''length''' in the range of length values on the character sheet.
−
Youth, adults and older characters are usually within the template's normal variability. To make a small child character without changing the template, you can reduce the mass, length, toughness, strength and running to less than the template's variability normally allows.
+
Copy the length type ("height", "length", "wingspan", etc.) from the template to the space next to the length on the character sheet.
−
After finding the character's total toughness, find the character's ''stamina'' which is 2 times the character's total toughness.
 
  
−
Relatively big characters should have more toughness, strength, mass and length, while relatively smaller characters should have less toughness, strength, mass and length. The following table is a guideline for characters with typical mass, length, toughness and strength relationships, but characters are not required to fit these categories. Template variability limits relative size options. High variability is required for tiny and huge characters, low variability requires normal size, and no variability requires exactly average mass, length, toughness and strength.
+
Choose a '''mass''' in the range of masses on the character sheet, or outside the range as suggested by the character's build.
 +
In the following list, "less than template range" means the character's mass should be between half of the build's minimum mass and the build's minimum mass.
 +
"More than template range" means the character's mass should be between the template's maximum mass and twice the template's maximum mass.

;more speed (20 CP): A character can have more speed if his template has medium or high variability. If the template's speed is ¼ or ½ the character's total speed will be twice the template's speed. Otherwise the character's total speed will be the template's speed plus 1. More speed is worth 20 CP.
+
==Character Abilities==
  
−
;less speed (-20 CP): A character can have less speed if his template has medium or high variability and the template's speed is greater than ¼. If the template's speed is 1 or ½ the character's total speed will be half of the template's speed. Otherwise the character's total speed will be the template's speed minus 1. Less speed is worth -20 CP.
+
;Abilities: You may give the character new abilities from the list of abilities the game or template allows you to develop.
  
−
;more or less agility (10 CP per level): A character can have more or less agility than his template depending on the template's variability: 0 points more or less if the template has low variability, 1 point more or less if the template has medium variability, or 2 points more or less if the template has high variability. Each point of agility is worth 10 CP. For example, if a character's total agility is 2 levels less than his template's agility, then his reduced agility is worth -20 CP.  
+
;Disabilities: You may choose as many disabilities as the game allows.
  
−
;more or less toughness (3 CP per level): A character can have total toughness up to 50% more than his template toughness with low variability, twice his template toughness with medium variability and 3 times his template toughness with high variability. A character can have less total toughness than his template toughness but never less than 0 toughness. Even a very fragile character usually has total toughness which is at least half of his template toughness. Each point of toughness is worth 3 CP. For example, -3 toughness is worth -9 CP.
+
;Ability Levels: A character's ability modifiers are their template's ability modifiers plus their ability levels.  Or in other words, a character's ability level is the difference between their personal ability modifiers and their template's ability modifiers. A template may impose a limit on how many ability levels a character can develop.
  
−
;more or less strength (5 CP per level): A character can have total strength up to 50% more than his template strength with low variability, twice his template strength with medium variability and 3 times his template strength with high variability. A character can have less total strength than his template strength, but never less than 0 strength. Even a very weak character usually has total strength which is at least half of his template strength. Each point of strength is worth 5 CP. For example, -2 strength is worth -10 CP.
+
;Health: A character's health is the sum of the character's two highest athletic ability modifiers plus one. (See [[Mano a Mano:Damage|Action/Damage]].)
  
−
;more or less mass: A character can have from 30% less to 50% more than his template's average mass with low variability, half to double his template's average mass with medium variability and one-third to 3 times his template's average mass with high variability.
+
;Health/2: A character's health/2 is half of the character's health, rounded down. (See [[Mano a Mano:Damage|Action/Damage]].)
  
−
;more or less length: A character can have from 10% less to 10% more than his template's average length with low variability, 20% less to 30% more than his template's average length with medium variability and 30% less to 50% more than his template's average length with high variability.

;Grip: Grip is a character's power plus their strength ability modifier.  Grip is the heft of the biggest weapons the character can wield easily.  Any weapons larger than this are '''unwieldy'''. Unwieldy weapons may only be used to do one quick action per turn (and no powerful actions.) A heavy weapon may increase a character's encumbrance penalty too, reducing speed and movement.
  
−
;more or less running (5 CP per level): A character can have up to 50% more than his template's running with low variability, twice his template running with medium variability and three times his template running with high variability. A lame character can have less running than his template, but never less than 0 running.
+
;CC (Carrying Capacity): CC is the amount of equipment a character can carry without encumbrance. CC is determined by the character's grip.

;more or less swimming (5 CP per level): A character can have up 1 point more swimming than his template swimming with low variability, 3 points more than his template swimming with medium variability and 5 points more than his template swimming with high variability. A disabled character can have less swimming than his template, but never less than 0 swimming.

;more or less airspeed (5 CP per level): A character can have up to 50% more than his template airspeed with low variability, twice his template airspeed with medium variability and three times his template airspeed with high variability. A crippled character can have less airspeed than his template, but never less than 0 airspeed.

==Choosing Occupations==

==Abilities and Qualities==
 
−
{|
 
−
| valign="top" |You may give the character new abilities or extra ability levels beyond template abilities, reflecting the character's individual talent, skill and experience. Each ability level is worth 5 CP. Normally new characters can have no more than 4 levels of each new ability or 4 extra levels in each template ability. A character's total ability modifier is his template ability modifier plus his extra ability modifier. (See [[Mano a Mano:Abilities|Game Design/Abilities]].)
 
−
 
 
−
You may also be allowed to give the character weaknesses such as negative qualities (qualities with negative CP) and missing or disabled limbs. Players need the game or GM's permission to create characters with negative qualities that are different from their template. A player also needs the game or GM's permission to make a character with missing or disabled limbs. Characters should not have more than two negative qualities and may be allowed only one or none. The consequences of negative qualities should not be easily avoided. If the character's qualities or natural weapons are different from the character's template, recalculate the character's template CP. (See [[Mano a Mano:Templates|Game Design/Templates]].)

==Equipment and Natural Defenses==
+
You may be able - or required - to give your character one or more occupations.
 +
Occupations give the character advantages, disadvantages, duties or privileges.
 +
A character may have any occupations as long as they meet the requirements for those occupations.
 +
The game may impose additional limitations, like a minimum or maximum number of occupations.
 +
(See [[Mano a Mano:Occupations|Game Design/Occupations]].)
  
−
Natural weapons and armor do not have mass or heft.
+
{{:Mano a Mano:Character Equipment}}
−
(These natural defenses are included in the character's mass.)
 
−
The power of a natural weapon is the character's total strength plus the weapon's ''leverage'' if it has the leverage feature.
 
−
The attack modifier of a natural weapon is the character's total agility, plus total natural weapon ability, plus the weapon's ''offense'' if it has the offense feature.
 
−
The defense of a natural weapon is 10 plus the character's total agility plus total natural weapons ability.
 
−
Natural armor does not need power, attack modifiers or defense.
 
−
(See [[Mano a Mano:Abilities#Combat Abilities|Game Design/Abilities/Combat Abilities]].)
 
  
−
The character usually begins with the basic equipment required by his occupation. The game may give the character additional equipment or money to buy equipment. A character's modifiers when using an item are listed in the equipment section of the character sheet. These are determined by comparing the character's modifiers to the item's modifiers, and may be different from the values listed on the equipment list for that item. (See [[Mano a Mano:Equipment|Game Design/Equipment]] and [[Mano a Mano:Inventory Management|Character Development/Inventory Management]].)
+
==Encumbrance and Movement==
  
−
;Grapple Attack: A character's grapple attack is his grapple ability, plus his agility, plus his strength. For example, if a character's grapple ability is 1, his strength is 1, and his agility is 1, then his grapple attack is 3 (1 + 1 + 1 = 3.)
+
;Equip. Mass (equipment mass): Add up the mass of all of the character's equipment and write the total here.
  
−
;Grapple Defense: A character's grapple defense is his grapple attack plus 10.
+
;Encumbrance: Encumbrance is the character's equipment mass divided by the character's CC and rounded down. If the character's CC is 10 and his total equipment mass is 29 then his encumbrance is 2. (29 divided by 10 is 2.9, and 2.9 rounded down is 2.) Encumbrance reduces a character's movement.
  
−
;Melee Defense: Melee defense is the best defense of the weapons the character is currently using. This is the difficulty of successfully striking or grappling this character.
+
;Spd-Enc (speed minus encumbrance): Speed minus encumbrance, along with stride and movement abilities, determines a character's ground, water, air and climbing movement.
  
−
;Missile Defense: Missile defense is 10 plus the character's agility. This is the difficulty of successfully shooting the character or hitting the character with a thrown weapon.
+
;Stride: Stride is one plus the character's running ability modifier minus their lame disability modifier. This is used to determine a character's ground movement.
  
−
;Best Absorption: Record the highest absorption of any armor the character is currently wearing here. This is the amount of attack power which will be absorbed by an attack which does not specifically try to avoid that armor.  
+
;Ground: If a character's stride is greater than zero, their ground movement is their stride multiplied by their Spd-Enc. If the character's stride is 0, their ground movement is 1.  If the character's stride is less than 0, their ground movement is 0. (See [[Mano a Mano:Movement|Action/Movement]].)
  
−
;Total Cover: Add up the cover of all the armor the character is wearing and subtract overlapping areas. If the total is 10 or more, or if any of the armor the character is wearing has ''complete'' cover, then the total cover is ''complete''. This is the difficulty  modifier for attacks that try to hit the character in an unarmored area.
+
;Water: Water movement is Spd-Enc multiplied by swimming ability modifier. (See [[Mano a Mano:Movement|Action/Movement]].)
  
−
The best absorption can be the total absorption of overlapping armor, and subtracting overlapping areas avoids counting the same covered area twice. For example consider a character wearing a bulletproof ''ballistic vest'' (3 cover, 3 absorption) with a ''rifle plate'' (an optional solid insert which adds extra protection for the heart) with 1 cover and 5 absorption. This character's best absorption will be found where the area covered by the rifle plate (5 absorption) is also backed by the ballistic vest (3 absorption). This absorption is 8 (5 + 3 = 8). The overlapping area is the area covered by the rifle plate (1 cover) which is also completely covered by the ballistic vest, so the total cover is 3 (3 + 1 - 1.) (See [[Mano a Mano:Damage#Armor|Action/Damage/Armor]].)
+
;Air: Only characters who can fly have air movement. Air movement is either Spd-Enc multiplied by flight ability modifier or ground movement, whichever is greater. (See [[Mano a Mano:Movement|Action/Movement]].)
  
−
;Stun and Damage: New characters have no stun or damage.
+
;Climbing: While climbing, movement is Spd-Enc multiplied by the longest reach of the character's hands or 0.5 m whichever is longer. (See [[Mano a Mano:Templates#Natural Weapons|Game Design/Templates/Natural Weapons]] and [[Mano a Mano:Movement|Action/Movement]].)
