Okay, so I am at 61 BP, and +5 honor. Now on to skills, talents, and such...

1d10000


"1d10000" - did I have a typo somewhere? or do I need to roll a d10000?

1d1001 ⇒ 939

EDIT haha, apparently it will not allow a d10000...

Grand Lodge

I'm thinking roll 4 1d10, and we'll have to do 1d10,1d10,1d10,1d10


4d10 ⇒ (3, 2, 3, 7) = 15

okay, so: 3237

I am working through the build points for STPs, its definitely clunky and confusing - but I feel like that was intentional, as a kind of mechanical joke. Just like the character creation makes you jump throughout the book, back and forth to different chapters and appendices. Amusing, but also time consuming...

Grand Lodge

Yeah and it builds with the suppliments and whatnot. Adding more and more crunch.

Honor=13-1 for Charisma, so 12

MU HP: 1d4 + 20 ⇒ (3) + 20 = 23
Cleric HP: 1d8 + 20 ⇒ (6) + 20 = 26
So 49/2 =25, +2 for Con = 27

Handedness: 1d100 ⇒ 7 = Southpaw
Height in Inches: 2d6 + 60 ⇒ (1, 5) + 60 = 66
Weight in Pounds: 3d12 + 110 ⇒ (10, 5, 11) + 110 = 136
Social Class: 1d100 ⇒ 71 Upper Middle Class
Birth: 1d100 + 15 ⇒ (46) + 15 = 61 Legitimate
Father: 1d100 ⇒ 90 Dead
Mother: 1d100 ⇒ 84 Dead
FatherQP: 1d100 ⇒ 5 Loving, +5 BP
MotherQP: 1d100 ⇒ 96 Abusive, Roll Major Quirk
Heritage: 1d100 ⇒ 56 +2 to Honor
Number of Siblings: 1d100 ⇒ 14 Only Child
Starting Money: 1d100 ⇒ 49
Gold: 1d6 + 60 ⇒ (5) + 60 = 65 +5 UMC, +10 OC, -10 MU =70 gps

That would make you human as its the stronger bloodline.


1 person marked this as a favorite.

Vacation was also a reflection period, and I arrived at the conclusion my PbP games will need to be trimmed down. So as much as I would like to give Hackmaster a try, I am bowing out from this recruitment. Wish you the best of luck with the game!

Mother was human and father was an elf.

How is it going with characters


Sorry, I still need to do my build points and I'm trying to re-learn the system.

Do we have enough players? I hope so.

Grand Lodge

I hope so, if not I may have to go with my original Idea

Grand Lodge

So if I don't get any replies by Monday evening, say Midnight CST if I go forward or revert back to my 2e Idea


I'll finish mine this afternoon. Will that be enough players to go ahead with HM?

Grand Lodge

6 is a solid start, 4 is doable, anything under that for most is very hard


How many do we have?


35 BP to start

Quirks:
Delusional: Thinks he is Elven royalty 4
Animal phobia 1d20 ⇒ 19 = cattle 2
Inappropriate Sense of Humor 2
Major Quirk due to mother: 1d100 ⇒ 80 = Two rolls on 6H
1d100 ⇒ 29 Glutton
1d100 ⇒ 94 Reclusive

Total BP: 43
Weapon Prof: 2 Mace and throwing hammer 2
Keen Sight 5
Acrobatic Skill Suite 5
Surgery tools 1
Rules of Fair Play 1
Religion: general and specific 1+2
History Local 1
Arcane Lore, Divine Lore, Spellcraft 12/2 =6
First Aid Skill Suite 5
Weapon Maintenance 1
Endurance 4
Riding, Land 1
Healing 2
Photographic Memory (1 extra spell/level) 5
Last one to raise 25% of a stat.

I'll give it another day, but if I don't get any more replies saying they are working on Characters, i am going with a 2e DnD Idea

Grand Lodge

If I get no updates by Midnight CST tonight I'll drop this recruitment for another different Idea

Grand Lodge

Okay this was a wash. Back to the Drawing Board

New Thread

Figured a less complicated system is needed for Online play so I am taking my idea with a tweak to this thread with 2e DnD
