Steampunk!/Characters

Character points
Characters are built on 480 points, divided into 3 parts. Any type of points may be used to buy Perks and Flaws at normal cost.
 * 160 Attribute points
 * 160 Skill points
 * 160 Schtick points
 * 160 Free Points. These may be used to buy anything.

Character Attributes
All attributes start at 5, except Soul attributes which start at 0. Attributes can be found here

Attribute Points
10 Attribute points buy +1 in an Attribute (up to the Attribute maximum, normally 10 before modifiers).

Skill Points
1 Skill point buys +1 in a Skill up to 10. The first point in a Skill also provides 1 Proficiency. 10 Skill points buy 1 Proficiency or +1 in a Skill above 10.

Schtick Points
20 Schtick points buy 1 Schtick.

All points
Any points may be used to buy Perks and Flaws.

Character Classes
There are a number of (often campaign-specific) Classes that change some aspects of a character.

Skill Max
You may not have more than the square root (total points/10) +7 in a Skill. This is called the SkillMax. The following table shows the experience needed to reach, or the character points received at, a certain SkillMax.

Each character is built with


 * 160 points of Attributes. Each Attribute costs 10 points and maximum is 13.
 * 160 points of Skills. Each Skill costs 10 points to gain Skill level 10, 10 points per step after that, with a maximum of 13.
 * 160 points of Schticks. Each Schtick normally costs 20 points, but can be upgraded with any number of points.
 * 160 points of Free points. These points may be used for anything, but at least one Class or Role is recommended.

 * +0 - +5 AV, 20 points / step
