#Attribute-Generation Replacement

Contents

module-toggle: replaces core attribute generation (dice roll)

#Identity

Replaces core attribute generation (assignment after a dice roll) with point-buy · standard array · dice arrangement.

#§ Variant A: Point-Buy (Balance Emphasis)

Procedure:

  1. Starting points 18.
  2. 6 attributes (Courage · Finesse · Physique · Wisdom · Presence · Fate), each 1 point = 1 point.
  3. Maximum +5, minimum 0.
  4. All PCs at the same starting line.

Example distribution: 5/4/3/3/2/1 = 18 points

Effect:

  • All PCs balanced. No gap.
  • You can make both thinker-type PCs and brawler-type PCs.
  • Users: balance emphasis · competitive campaigns.

#§ Variant B: Standard Array (Fast Start)

Procedure:

  1. All PCs use the same array: 5/4/3/3/2/1.
  2. PCs freely assign to the 6 attributes.

Effect:

  • Fastest. Character generation within 5 minutes.
  • All PCs at exactly the same strength.
  • Users: one-shot · casual · beginner PCs.

#§ Variant C: Dice Arrangement (Variability)

Procedure:

  1. Roll 2d10 6 times. Distribute the results as-is to the 6 attributes.
  2. All PCs have different gaps.
  3. If the gap is too large (lowest 0), at GM discretion 1 attribute +1.

Effect:

  • Character diversity from the gaps.
  • Strong PCs and weak PCs mixed — narrative interest.
  • Users: cinematic · manga tone.

  • A: cinematic (gap absent)
  • B: long-term campaigns (PC diversity weak)
  • C: competitive campaigns (unfair due to gaps)

#§ Transition Guide

  • Core → Replacement: agree before campaign start. All PCs use the same method.
  • Session 0 only. Mid-campaign change not recommended.
