Machine Spirit PBF- character creation topic
« on: August 25, 2009, 05:36 »

Their name strike fear into hearts heretics, foul xenophils, mutants, even daemons of Warp tremble at their sight. For they were elevated above Human, by will of our Immortal Emperor. They are mankind saviours, who with flame and righteous fury cleanse and purge organism of Imperium from sickness within. They are mankind best servants, best protectors. Without them, we would fall.
Yes, we have all heard about Imperial Inquisition.
Sadly, they are too few to oversee every planet, every strange, unusual, possibly dangerous situation. And because of that, they need Acolytes.    

You were chosen- though you do not know the reasons. Inquisitor Hereticus Pistis Sophia, of hive world Magna Delta offered you something of value far greater than any material thing- service in Inquisition, by her side, as her acolyte. Now, you have all gathered in her place, high in the spires of hive city Carnelia, to anxioulsy await meeting, and first assignment...


Character creation:
As in core rulebook, but wait-
1) No rolling for the attributes- not that I don't believe in you, but balanced stats are nice. You have 70 110 points to spend on attributes. You can not spend more than 20 on any given attribute, and you can not have any attribute with value higher than 50, including bonuses.
2) No divination rolls- I'll send you your divinations, when character creation is over.
3) You have additional 300 thrones to spend on equipment.
4) Rest as normal.
5) Character history STRICTLY required. No history- no play. It do not have to be long or very elaborate, but you must have it.
6) If you want to play as foul xeno (i. e. eldar) I'll allow it, but don't except to have an easy life (or life at all) Eldar slot already taken.

So, um, where can I get the rules for this? I'd prefer not doing something utterly retarded. :S

As Malak said- get a core rulebook.
(It should be in net, try finding it as pdf)

If I create a psyker, do I roll for sanctioning effect, or will you assign one yourself?

Attention-
One week for character creation part, anybody who will not make in time will suffer terribly, and by this, he will make my day.

Mine should be ready by tomorrow evening. :)

BTW, can we use Inquisitor's Handbook?

Regarding stats: just to be clear on something, is it just the 70 points all told, or 70 + the Homeworld Modifiers for each skill?

Okay, as soon as I can decipher this stupid 'Starting your Character' part of the rulebook, I'll start on my character. Don't be surprised if it's a Tech-Priest ;)

Son, I am disappointed!

No, seriously, usually I'm all for point buy generations in RPGs but when it comes to DH (and Traveller) it kind of spoils my fun of rolling stats and seing what I get and what it can work with. I'll cope with it if you insist, but still...

Seconding the question on the homeworld modifiers...

By the way, do you mean characteristic when you say attribute? I don't like confusion :S

Yup, 70 + homeworld modificators.
Sorry for no rolling, but my experience with randomized attributes is worse than bad (I've always ended up with creatures which could not hit broad side of barn and thought that 2+2 equals 5)

Yes, I mean characteristics.

Only when you're talking about composite explosives, and the 1 is one mushroom cloud.
