For out-of-character questions, conversations, etc.
Character Generation
- Rule set Gamma World 2e.
- Races: Human, alien, mutant, cybernetic. If your character concept isn’t directly covered in the rules, we can work it out. Just let me know.
- For attributes, 4d6 pick the best three, assign as desired.
- All other rolls per the rules. I can answer any questions on rules or provide charts as necessary.
- Please make all rolls linked to campaign (#898).
- Your character, profession or world choice may dictate technology level, so the GW rules on technology probably won't apply (unless you choose a post-apocalyptic milieu.)
- The Gamma World rules assume a post-apocalyptic world where technology and equipment is scarce, as is the ever-important energy source for such. But given your worlds aren't post-apocalyptic, there is no concern. The equipment list would be much bigger in fact, so if you want something not on the list let me know.
- For money, we'll go by the rules' 4d4x10, but given you're all experienced in your profession, go ahead and x5 that amount. Some of you, for example Starbeard's career man, has a regular job and house and his economics will be different. Other characters may end up with different financial situations given who you are.
House Rules:
- Natural 20 is critical for double damage.
- Natural 1 is fumble, in which there is a 50% chance of something unfortunate or darkly humorous happening (e.g. gun jams, backfires, slip/fall, programming error, vehicle crash, etc.)
- If firing into a melee and you miss target, there is a 50% chance it hits someone else, randomly determined by a roll.
- Characters with multiple attacks per round: the second attack occurs at the end of the round.
- For touch attacks, the defender's AC is just Dex. bonus if any. One is not trying to penetrate armor or hide, just touch. However, if an AC is based heavily on speed, the AC will remain as is.
- Please link rolls to the campaign, number 898. On-the-fly rolls don't count.
- Please start each post with character name / class at top.
- I like to spoiler dice roll results, it makes for a cleaner IC thread.
