    I would like this OOC forum to be mostly for things that need fixed in the system. I really REALLY want you all to offer criticism. I will not get hurt and cry, nor will i rage-quit the WTFRPG site. I will consider your criticisms and make changes that i deem are appropriate. This is a playtest. I have no doubt that there are bugs. Just make them known, and I'll take care of it.

    Do you have any example character sheets?

    I am working on building my character today. is there any particular way in which you'd like them set up in the forms on here?

    I have been working through the character creation and the distribution of skills is incredibly unclear.

    Major Skills are those that get tokens based on the Archtype base. Correct?

    But then you have Defining skills, Expert Skills and Variety skills. This is very unclear in both the explanation and the character sheet (Since nothing in the character sheet is actually labeled as to what category the skill falls into. I get the impression that Defining skills and Expert skills may be the same? But you use the term "minor skills" to define two different things.

    Also, your example character seems to have more than the 3 starting tokens. I get how to calculate the Tokens, that is straight forward, but everything else is quite the jumble and very unclear on the example character.

    Alright, I think I've got it figured out. Will get my character up this afternoon and you can tell me what I've messed up on.

    clarification for the skills:


    major skills are:
    attack
    defense
    *weapon skills
    *armor skills
    arcane
    arcane defense
    *arcane spell
    divine
    divine defense
    *divine spell
    speed
    reflex
    *expert skills

    the ones marked with * are groups of skills (variety skills). for example, the sample character has points in "bow" as a weapon skill.

    the expert skills are 4 skills chosen at character creation from the minor skills list. these can be leveled up with either major or minor skill points during character creation.

    when spending the 4 starting Major skill points, every point is worth 2 variety skills. so, you can put 1 in arcane, 1 in arcane defense and get 4 different spell skills at 1 each.

    minor skills are simpler, you get 4 points to distribute how you want.

    yes, if you put all 4 major skill points into one expert skill, then 4 minor skill points into it, then you can start with a very specialized character with +12 in one skill.
