Priest Tables

How the system works

Go to the table directed by your previous rolls , and toss the dice. Take the appropriate Skill, Power, Perk or whatever and deduct the cost from the points you had left over after generating your Stat.s. Repeat until you run out of points! If you roll something you already have, then simply increase the value by one step. That's all there is to it!

Priest
Roll 2d6. Find the first roll in the first column, and the second roll in the second. If you have two dice of different colours, specify one as the red column and one as the white and then you can roll both at once.

The use of this table is fairly self-explanatory. However, there are a couple of points to note. First, since characters in my Fantasy level games are usually built on a 50 or 75 point base, they have a limit of 25 points from any one category. However, for random NPCs you may or may not want to enforce this. Second, to make life easier, I don't insist that random NPC's points totals balance totally. If they get lucky on the Disadvantages, then they just get handed a bunch of experience. However, if something is rolled, and points are lacking, I will often just add an extra disadvantage if it seems appropriate. For instance, a character rolls up the reputation "coward", and since he's only got the one disadvantage, I decide the reputation is true and add in the Psychological limitation "coward". Of course, a reputation might not be true! Either way, I tend to do this adjustment at the end of the process, and only if it seems obvious.

As always, change this approach to suit yourself!
