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 - Sabretooth Penguins are around 60 kg and 1 meter tall. They don't vary in size as much as humans do, so they have low variability. They are similar to humans in speed, power, toughness and agility, so we give them 1 speed, 4 power, 6 toughness and 3 agility.

2. Abilities - Sabertooth Penguins have flippers which give them a +1 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 sharp.

4. Character Points (CP) - 4 power is worth 800 CP. 6 toughness is worth 600 CP. 1 speed 3 agility are both worth 0 CP. Low variation is worth 100 CP. 0.5 m reach is worth 100 CP. Sharp sharpness is worth 1000 CP. Multiple natural weapons adds 100 CP. Ambidextrous hands with 0 manual dexterity modifier is worth 0 CP. Swimming ability with a +1 modifier is worth 100 CP. A -1 dexterity on the Sabretooth penguine's second (usually left) arm is worth -100 CP. The total CP of our new Sabretooth Penguin template is 2700 CP.
