Partida Rol por web

Ok, then. I´ll raise my Rope Use skill 'till the 2nd level, and I´ll get Greased Lightning as a Talent.

(Those are 26 SP spent. Theer are 16 left).

May I get improved arc of fire as a Talent too? it's only 15 points and sound good ;)

Regards.

Hi,

My recommendations/comments

QUIRKS
Superstitious (15BP) => another 3 rolls and lucky charm, this could be interesting.

Thick Accent (10BP) => only if you can speak (write) English but with German accent :) But could be fun. It does not mean necessarily that your character speaks bad English, just that everyone notices where he comes from. It could be somewhat strange as you might want to hide your German roots.

I do not recommend: Hardcase (5BP) hard and feelingless; Lusty (20BP) => bordello visits are mandatory, WIS rolls all the time, not that fun; Crude (20BP) => language full of profanity, lose charisma; Hayseed (20 BP) => rough and ignorant, does not fit character background; Straight Shooter (40BP) => always honest, also does not fit character I think.

FLAWS
Hard of Hearing (15BP) => occasional Intelligence checks, this is also interesting
Stone Deaf (30BP) => not recomended.

The BP value in brackets is halved if you select quirk or flaw.

I noticed you did not consider any talents, only negative quirks and flaws :) Interesting talents:

TALENT
Advanced Sighting (70BP) => 6th sense marksmanship, this is very powerful and very good, but also very expensive.
Dead Eye (50BP) => reduces distance penalties is a good option for a marksman or hunter
Weapon Bonus (50BP) => for a specific type of weapon, for instance rifle.

SKILLS => nursing is to treat injuries and wounds. Bows are for Indians I guess hehe

- spend 4BP to increase STR by 1 => OK

- spend 4BP to increase INT by 1 => OK

- spend 4BP to increase CNS by 1 => NO, you cannot increase CON as you have 08/08, so it would cost 19BP to raise the fractional part. You can raise WIS by spending just 1 BP

*Spend 1 BP to raise WIS by 1 => my recommendation

*Reduce WIS by 2 and raise CON by 1 => if you wish to improve CON. This leaves you with WIS 14 and CON 09.

- increase DEX +1 by lowering Charisma by 2 => OK

Is this correct? You would have 66 BP left. Please confirm, and I will roll all the background stuff and then we can move on to Talents/Flaws and Skills.

OK Skills and Talents done then.

Greased Lightning: You are extra quick, -1 Speed bonus for one specific Weapon Class (pistol I guess).

Improved Arc of Fire: you are good at trick shots and firing in another direction, no Accuracy penalty for Arc B and -1 for Arc C and -3 for Arc D.

You have $17 starting money, please have a look at the Gear, Equipment... And select one free weapon cost $20 or less.

We are almost done with the Character Sheet :)

I have to make a confession: the character creation process is so complex that is pushing me away. :-(

As I do not want to leave the game once I have committed to it, I may offer the following compromise: you know the story of Sinta, and you know the game rules. Would it be OK for you to create the PC for me? I will play with whatever you give me, plus you can mold Sinta to better fit the story you want to frame.

Does that make sense?

I swear to you I had not seen the talents! xD

The three options seem interesting, so I'll do some calculations, I home today afternoon, and I'll show you the results.

No problem, the character is nearly done in any case. I will have a look at the Talent options you provided. Do you have a preference regarding the gun? I guess it is the same gun she took from the man who assaulted her.

Regarding the (complex) character creation process, I do not think the character bonuses are that important for the story I have in mind, so even considered creation the characters myself. In any case, I tried to keep the process simple. But I think I misunderstood you when you asked for more details as to how the mechanics work. The question actually surprised me, as I had a feeling you had a more background-story orientated approach. But there are players who like to understand the mechanics in detail. So I gave you more information and added stuff into the tutorials. This made the process look more complicated than necessary.

Basically it is Roll random abilities => modify ability scores => roll random background stuff (GM rolls) => select/roll talents/flaws => select some interesting skills => select weapon => buy starting gear

With what you have posted, I think I can finish the character sheet this evening. Please have a look at the weapons (one free weapon less than $20 value) and starting gear, you have $55 starting money.

I will accept any useful object that you buy for Sinta. ;-)

Full disclosure: I am happy being completely story-oriented and/or understanding the full rules, but I find it difficult to be half-way through. The tutorial is not bad (you have made a fair effort) but is not complete (and it cannot be, the book is almost 500pg) and this leaves me confused.

In other words, I think I would not have had any problem at all to create a character if I had a copy of the game, but in this situation I feel confused and that is a feeling that pushes me away.

Thanks for your help creating the character. :-)

OK great, character sheet done! I´ve uploaded screenshots of the sheet, and also the info for the Colt Navy. Ah, I bought you some ammo as well :)

I guess I will eventually use the Equipment section of the Umbria interface, but for now the screenshot will do.

Have a look, and any questions please let me know.

Congrats, you are ready for action!

You have 61 BPs left.

Superstitious (15BP) => another 3 rolls and lucky charm. OK
Thick Accent (10BP) => only if you can speak (write) English but with German accent :) FINE WITH ME :-)
Hard of Hearing (15BP) => occasional Intelligence checks. IT MAKES SENSE FOR ME (TOO MUCH SHOOTING)

With these quirks and flaw I'll get 20BP (40BP/2 because I have chosen them), so I would have 81 building points. I'm right?

Perfect ;)

Welcome "Choctaw" Lee. The reason he is called "Choctaw" is because some time ago, a man named James Lee married an Indian woman which gave him "right" to ranch in the Chickasaw Nation, or Choctaw territory. With his brothers Tom and Pink, he built a ranch deep in the wilderness close to Delaware Bend.

After the death of James Lee, the ranch was abandoned for some years, and forgotten. Until recently, when Ed Stein, an outlaw of some notoriety, married to the daughter of James Lee. He then started using it as a hideout for himself and Tom Cole and Jim Copeland. Some of the Lee clan also returned, including young "Choctaw" Lee, whose mother was an Indian and his father was Tom, even though Tom never recognized him as his son. Then the two Dyer Brothers and others from their gang like Della Humpy and Jack Dekker. 

So that is the starting point. A hideout for outlaws and bandits. And a Choctaw Lee looking for his place in the world :)

We can start with the character sheet. You should have a look at the Tutorials scene to get an overview of the system. The mechanics are quite simple. and in any case I will guide you through the character generation step by step.

First, it might be a good idea for you get this very handy Excel version of the character sheet:

And then roll the Ability scores: roll 3d6 for Strength. Intelligence, Wisdom, Dexterity, Constitution, Looks and Charisma, and then again 1d100 for each for the fractional ability.

I see nothing in tutorials.

Yeah, my fault, I realized late that I had included you in the scene but in the posts. I fixed that earlier today

As bad as it sounds, I need to take Straight Shooter (40BP).

I need the points. I would interpret it as follows: "Jack" is a man who is tired of following orders against their thinking, so has been forced by circumstances to defect from the army. He is not an outlaw because he's a bad person, he is because his captain was stupid. He was forced to do so. He is charismatic and intelligent enough to know when to shut up, and as it is usually pretty difficult to say the truth and not offend someone, he has got a bit of the laconic type (except when he is with Choctaw (?))

Whith the extra 20BP, I have 101BP, so I can take Dead Eye and still have some decent skills:

Dice rolls done. I post the first page

My Reputation is 78 (added all my Abilities,and -3 for Looks and +3 for Charisma, 78, then).

Regards.
