Sorry this has taken so long. Aparently I fail.
Right, an example character. This is most likley going to be going up in 2 parts, as I dont have the books with me right now, and I've work in the morning.
Step 1: Ideas
I've already figured out roughly what I want - The character is going to be a WW2 commando who was caught in a Mortar blast and rebuilt, with a shotgun in his arm.
I know I need relatively good stats - there must have been a reason they brought him back, so I'll need a good mix of Skills and Attributes, but also to funnel points into the weapon-arm.
I start with 150 points, and look at attributes
Attributes:
While Attributes are usefull, I'd rather keep these low, and bulk up with Skills, so starting with 10 in all of them, I put 2 points in Dexterity and 2 in Health, costing me a total of 40 points
Strength: 10
Dexterity: 12
IQ: 10
Health 12
With 110 points remaining, I'm going to look at Skills next. I get points in all skills automatically, so these are just the ones I want to increase
Acrobatics (hard/phys): Increased to Dex(12) = 4 points
Armoury (ave/ment): Increased to IQ(10) = 2 points
Interrogation (ave/ment): Increased to IQ(10) = 2 points
Jumping (easy/phys): Increased to Dex(12) = 1 point
Leadership (aver/ment): Increased to IQ(10) = 2 points
Missile Weapon (Pistol) (easy/phys): Increased to Dex+2(14) = 4 points
Missile Weapon (Rifle) (easy/phys): Increased to Dex(12) = 1 point
Parachuting (easy/phys): Increased to Dex(12) = 1 point
Tactics (hard/ment): Increased to IQ(10): 2 points
Unarmed Combat (Brawling) (easy/phys): Increased to Dex+1(12): 2 points
I end up with:
Acrobatics 12
Armoury 10
Interrogation 10
Jumping 12
Leadership 10
Missile Weapon (Pistol) 14
Missile Weapon (Rifle) 12
Parachuting 12
Tactics 10
Unarmed Combat (Brawling) 13
and have spent 21 more points. I have 89 points left, to spend everywhere else
First I'm going to work out the weapon, I use the Breathe Fire skill, as although the weapon doesn't use energy, it works the same, and spend 2 additional points to increase the Damage to 3. I also buy it some Damage Resistance, as it'll be well armoured
Breathe Fire + 2 Damage(44 points)
Damage Resistance 4 (12 points) - Limitation, shotgun-hand only (-75%) (9 points)
Bad Grip (-5 points) - Limitation, shotgun-hand only (-50%) (-4 points)
this costs a total of 49 points, and means I have 40 left
Toughness (10) being part man-part machine, my character is tougher than an average human
Combat Reflexes (15)
Danger Sense (15) both represent Combat experience
Final Character
Johnny Gun-Fist, 140 point Android
STR: 10
DEX: 12
IQ: 10
HEALTH: 12
Left Arm: Damage Resitance 3/Breathe Fire/Bad Grip
Damage Resistance: 1
Combat Reflexes
Danger Sense
Acrobatics 12
Armoury 10
Interrogation 10
Jumping 12
Leadership 10
Missile Weapon (Pistol) 14
Missile Weapon (Rifle) 12
Parachuting 12
Tactics 10
Unarmed Combat (Brawling) 13
if it wasn't so late, I'd get some Quirks and stuff too, but you get the jist. Right?
