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 - Sabertooth Penguins are around 40 to 90 kg and 0.75 to 1.5 meters tall. They are similar to humans in speed, power, health and agility, so we give them 2 speed, 4 power and agility and no health modifier. We record the power as a range from half power to full power: "2-4".
2. Abilities - As super-fast waddling predators, Sabertooth Penguins have no lame disability. Their flippers give them a +3 swimming ability modifier.
3. Natural Weapons and Armor - Sabretooth Penguins have clawed hands with 0.5 meters of reach and a manual dexterity modifier of 0. Their teeth and claws are somewhat sharp (3 sharpness.)
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. 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 1200 CP.
