Description


A character's description can be found at the top of the character sheet. (See Characters/Character Sheet.) Certain parts of a character's description may have different names, options, measurements or limitations in various games. For example, some races may be sexless, or height may be replaced by length or wingspan.

Name - The character's name
Race - The character's race (a template used to generate the character)
Appearance - What the character looks like
Personality - How the character behaves
Background - Where the character is from and what they've done
Sex - "male" or "female"
Age - "child", "youth", "adult", "old", or "ancient"
Height - Height of the character in meters or feet and inches
Reach - Distance the character can reach without taking a step
Stride - Distance the character moves with each step (or hit point used in a combat round)
Mass - Mass in kilograms or weight in pounds

Size - Natural attack power and toughness bonus. Use the Size Table to determine the character's size from their mass.

Encumbrance - Attack and defense bonus based on the effect of a character's mass and equipment on their dexterity and coordination. To calculate encumbrance, add the character's natural encumbrance to their equipment encumbrance. Equipment encumbrance is 10 times the mass of a character's equipment, divided by the character's mass. Use the Encumbrance Table to determine a character's natural encumbrance from their mass.
