Dr. Who

[Thud]

Does anybody have a writeup of the most recent Dr Who?

I'm wondering how it would be done.

Re: Dr Who

 

No, but he's just "The Doctor."

Re: Dr Who

 

Well if you have Ulti-skill...the Universal versions of Scientist and Scholar come to mind. He also seems a lot more combat capable than older versions. The TARDIS is a real point sink. but you might squeeze him into 350 or so....

Re: Dr Who

 

I'd call the TARDIS an effect rather than try to buy it with points. In the series, it's the plot-device which provides the reason for how the Doctor shows up at the beginning of the new adventure. Often it's unclear *why* the Doctor has showed up when and where he did. I often get the feeling that the TARDIS takes the Doctor where he's needed most. Which in Game Terms means the TARDIS is a GM fiat that puts the PCs at the start of the adventure.

 

The Doctor himself has "good" physical stats, a couple of LS powers because he's a Time Lord, superhuman INT, EGO, and PRE. KS's and SS's out the door. I'd almost be tempted to just make up a skill, name it "Knowledge of EVERYTHING" and buy it up to 25- (or more) and apply modifiers depending on the question the Doctor's player is asking. The skill should be reliable enough to mimic the Doctors Encyclopedic Knowledge of Almost Everything, but low enough that on occasion, he honestly doesn't know, or can't recall a specific detail or situation. That's when the Psych Lim "Obsessively Curious about what he doesn't know" (Unc/Tot) comes into play and he grins at his companion and walks out the TARDIS' front door.

 

Keep an eye on what gadgets the Doctor uses regularly. The Sonic Screwdriver is a definite must write-up. I'd base it around a Minor Transform for its physical abilities (unlocking doors, fixing machines, etc...) add in hordes of dice of Mental Control for machines and computers, and give it a few senses (Detects, and N-Ray Vision) to illustrate it's diagnostic properties. He also has that Psychic Paper, which could be built on Mental Illusions, with the limitation that it appears as what the viewer expects to see so long as it is something that would normally appear in the size and shape of the paper (Badges, licenses, authorizations, etc...)

 

Maybe a small Gadget Pool for everything else he comes up with in his pockets.

Well semi psychic paper at any rate...

Re: Dr Who

 

and the connection he had with Reinette in Girl In The Fireplace, and translating alien languages for his companions, and knowing when the TARDIS is nearby and sharing info with his previous selves and wiring his brain up to various computers even without the neural implants etc etc etc.

 

His Grandaughter Susan was doing it first, but still.

Re: Dr Who

 

Definitely above average defenses (PD/ED, probably Power & Mental to boot) than most humans as well (Nine survived the Slitheen's trap in AoL/WW3 and Ten survived a lightning strike in EotD as recent examples).

unless the High Council want to trade your potential to an evil future version of yourself, or you're an evil renegade Time Lord they can find a use for, or you transform yourself into a transparent snake thing and steal someone's body, or just steal someone's body, or earn (in your own mind) regeneration perpetual, etc etc etc

Potential 'Torchwood' (series) and/or 'Utopia' (Dr Who episode) spoiler:

 

 

Or one of your companions wills that you are "alive again"....and has

the power of the TARDIS core behind her to back it up and make it

permanent..In otherwords, like what Rose did to Jack Harkness.

Re: Dr Who

 

Does anybody have a writeup of the most recent Dr Who?

I'm wondering how it would be done.

 

Somewhere (at home...and I'm at work at the moment )

I have a rather old write-up of The Doctor. It was (as I recall)

a translation from the Doctor Who RPG that was out during the late

1980's / early 1990's. I originally found it on the usenet group

rec.arts.frpg.super (I think that was the group name...anyone else

recall those groups ? ).

 

Just from memory it included:

 

Respiratory Bypass: Life Support (extended breathing, immune to

gasses, etc) -- In the 1970's version (and in Aliens Of London with

the Slitheen as I recall) he shows times where he survives in gas

filled rooms where humans are soon overcome.

 

Regeneration: Self Only, only to original level of stats, uncontroled,

triggered by being at or near death (negative BODY), not recoverable,

[side effect - changes appearance and adds/eliminates some quirks]

 

Distinctive Features: Two Hearts (detectable by common senses,

easily concealable (don't let them use a stethescope on you or give

you an MRI...)

 

Martial Art: Venusian Karate (ok...this was basically only for the

John Pertwee version...but I suspect that the current one could still

be given it (or equivalent))

 

Not certain on the stats included....I like the already mentioned

'Skill: Seems to Have Knowledge On Every Subject'.

 

I'm pretty sure it had increased CON, based on the two hearts....

 

As I said, I don't have it at hand...But it might be somewhere here

on the forums (engages search mode....searching for 'Time Lord

Package'.....)

 

Ahah! Here is something:

 

http://herogames.com/forums/showthread.php?t=8426

 

And the package in question (as far as I can tell) is attached below.

It is for 4th edition and will need to be adapted for 5th..but a brief

moment with HDv3 would take care of that.

 

There are some other search results for 'Time Lord Package' that

you might want to take a look at...just drop the phrase into the

search function.

 

Ok....work now....more later.

Re: Dr Who

 

Here's a question for you -

 

Just last night, me and my group were discussing healing and stuff, and the subject of a Time Lord style regeneration came up. Now putting aside the obivous disads of disorentation and a swap of face and psych disads, I wondered aloud what a "Can only be used after death" disad was worth (a pretty hefty minus, I would guess). One of the others was all "Oh, you'd have to pay for that. That's an advantage".

 

I'm still not sold on that. I mean, your'e actually, physicaly dead - that's a pretty extreme set of circumstances to go to for a power to fire. Trigger, I guess - but it still seems that a power that requires you to sing with the choir invisible before you can use it is a negitive thing, not a good thing.

You are both right, you would need to pay for the resurection adder, but then you would put a lim on that that says only activates after death, I would call it a -1, -2 if it only works while dead. That is to say at the -1 level you would heal until you get full body

Howdy,

 

Here's a version I did of the Fourth Doctor... maybe people will find it useful. I think I converted him from another system and then mucked about, but I can't remember. It was the start of my attempt to build all the characters I recruited for a NGD game about a new comic book a while back (Tempus Presidium if you want to search for it on the boards). He's not exactly balanced

Re: Dr Who

 

and the connection he had with Reinette in Girl In The Fireplace, and translating alien languages for his companions, and knowing when the TARDIS is nearby and sharing info with his previous selves and wiring his brain up to various computers even without the neural implants etc etc etc.

 

His Grandaughter Susan was doing it first, but still.

 

 

Since I don't know as much about the Doctor as I'd like, did they ever say what happened to his granddaughter? She was only ever seen with the William Hartnell Doctor, right? And did they ever mention the Doctor's children?

Left him near the start of the second season, remaining on "future earth" after the Dalek invasion. Only reappearance was in the 20th anniversary "Five Doctors" special.

 

And did they ever mention the Doctor's children?

 

No. It's never been clear whether Susan was a biological granddaughter, or that was just a term of endearment.

Re: Dr Who

IF these quotes are reliable....( from the Wikipedia page Re: Susan

Foreman AKA Susan, The Drs' 'grand-daughter'):

 

"The original outline for the series did not intend for the pair to be related,

but writer Anthony Coburn created the family tie as he was

disturbed by the possible sexual connotations of an old man

travelling alone with a teenage girl."

 

And

 

"In the commentary to the BBC's DVD release of An Unearthly Child, actress

Carole Ann Ford points out that these suggestions that Susan was

not the Doctor's biological granddaughter were only first put forward

in the 1990s. She reveals that little background information on

Susan's character or past history was provided to her by the

production team, and so to inform her performance, she would often

discuss and invent ideas about Susan with co-star William Hartnell."

 

So that would mean that, as far as the series writers were

concerned, they were blood relations. Of course, from my memory

(and it IS admittedly haphazerd at times ) the entire backstory

of The Dr and The Time Lords didn't really start to come to the

foreground till well into the tenure of the second Dr....Darn, wish

I had my copy of "The Discontinuity Guide" at hand. Great book...

Of course, it was written and published prior to the newest

incarnations of The Dr (it came out in 1996 as I recall). So it would

not have mentioned (again from the Susan Foreman Wikipedia entry):

 

"In 'Fear Her', the Tenth Doctor states he 'was a Dad once', but does

not elaborate further."

 

Soooo......Shrug.

 

The Wikipedia page I am referencing is here:

 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Susan_Foreman

 

My $.02US. As always, YMMV.

Re: Dr Who

 

By the way, to anyone looking to weave The Dr into what we

know of 'the real history of the middle part of the 20th century'

I'd strongly recommend taking a look at the novel "Who Killed

Kennedy ?" by David Bishop. Excellent fodder for the gaming

imagination, IMNSHO.

 

EDIT: The book (and a commentary by the author) can be found,

in PDF format and free of charge, here:

No. It's never been clear whether Susan was a biological granddaughter, or that was just a term of endearment.

 

It's only fan reluctance to consider the Doctor as having a sexual side that has led to the debate! He called her grand-daughter, she called him grandfather. Fans: "Ooh, I wonder why he calls her that, perhaps it's an alien term meaning 'carrier of slippers' or something"- and all manner of wankery (including some which has passed into print & audio) has been evolved to explain it.

 

However - nothing in the TV show has ever contradicted the plain reading of the title. In fact in "The Empty Child" episode recently:

 

Dr Constantine: Before this war begain, I was a father and a grandfather. Now I am neither. But I am still a doctor.

 

The Doctor: Yeah, tell me about it (A british phrase meaning "I know how you feel")

Re: Dr Who

 

Timelords don't reproduce sexually. It's been established in the various novels. They have "looms" where they shape biomass and add biodata and memory to create an individual. Basically all of them are immortal test tube babies.

Relationship names such as mother, father, daughter, cousin are used to denote houses or factions within their society - not the age or blood relation of the individual.

 

If taken in the light of the novels (which are cannon) - the Doctor would be a parental mentor figure for her. More closely equivalent to an adopted daughter. Which is about as close as Time Lords ever get to each other.

Re: Dr Who

 

It is, however, still up in the air as to how canon the "early" books are in terms of the actual show. So theorhetically RTD could toss out the whole looms bit.

 

"So many parts...some of them hardly used!"

 

(Just remember "hardly" and "never" are two different words! :smoke:)

[Curufea]

Re: Dr Who

 

He has included a lot of cannon though. Including many of the old adversaries, information on Gallifrey and the Academy. But really it depends on what you want to include as a GM. There is no reason why you have to stick to what one particular writer has done.

 

That's kinda what roleplaying is all about - the "what if?" in a setting.

 

Also, the books are that early - they're mostly about the eighth Doctor.
