So long as you guys aren't unabashedly cheating, I have no reason to distrust you, it will save EVERYONE a lot of time wasted waiting on me.

If the consensus is high enough, I can do the rolls, but I won't like it, and I doubt any of you will either.

Possibly a system where you just have to get someone else to roll for you,  like one person asking for "1d20+5 please" and a random friendo saying "1d20+5 = 25 for 'personman'."

10/10, 8/8, basically because those two stats can be depleted.

If your race has UTW/P as it's classification, and your class has UTW/SM, and you had a gun that was SM/L, the statblock would looks like

((Add up each instance of a Classification across race, items, and class to get each total))
Unspecified Technology Weapon Total: 2
Plasma Total: 1
Laser Total: 1
Nanotech Total: 0
Space Magic Total: 2
New Unknown Alien Technology Total: 0
Really REALLY Good Electronics Total: 0
Bad Space Magic Total: 0

Significance: 6
Credits:

Because you had two instances of UTW, one instance of P, one Instance of L, and 2 instances of SM, and adding those together gets you your Significance, which is like your level in a way. And an enemy with Significance 6 would be roughly equal to you in power, or at the very least, on your level, since they have as many instances as you total. in that same manner, if you used diplomacy against someone with Significance 5, you would roll 1d20+6 verses their 1d20+5

Question: For skills, are they specifically the ones listed in the class? Or do you make them up for the character? And what do they do?

Of course, Twin is neither man nor woman but an unholy eldritch abomination like every other Bay12er. The difference is they hide it better.

As a Xeno, you can choose No classification, SM, or BSM, for your race's classification, depending on what flavor Xeno you want to be.

If you want to be a Xeno with integrated technology, you would want to pick Cyborg instead.

Just leave it alone until you finish your sheet.



There previously were skills for the classes, but in this version, you make up skills that fit the theme, and I will balance them, they can be passive or active, and do whatever it is you specify, like in TotM:Gaiden and HERO

So, what's the situation at the start of the game? Why are the characters together? It wasn't specified in the OP.

How are Rage Of The Ancients, Shield Of The Ancients, and Ancient's Wrath related to Bite the bullet, Bounty, and Account Management thematically?

If you don't plan on changing them, Make ancients wrath an active that consumes 2 energy.

SM is Space Magic, like Jedi, basically.



All the characters know each others somewhat, and have all been hired by an unknown benefactor, needing money.
