First I do want to apologize for my earlier messages.
I am having a problem with the skills- How do you decide how many skills the characters should have?? What skill choices for a super hero game? a fantasy game?
The skill point to skill level is a little confusing.
I understand that skills generally are the (stat/5) + 9 for base plus pts for each +1, but how do you get the individual KS,SS,PS ?
I have read the book and have tried to make some characters but without a basic template I am afraid I am not making them right.
The power making section is confusing because of the Advantages and disadvantages.
I believe the book says to factor in the disads first (divide), then the ads (multiply).
What is a good point base (including all ads and disads) for starting GMs making the powers???
I understand it is my choice but getting a good grip on the mechanics is the point for me.
Are there any hints or quick reference for character creation?
Say by using the chart you make a heroic character on 250 pts. (125 pts normal up to 125 pts with disads)
and only 50 pts for powers, 50 pts for attributes, 25 pts for skills. is this a good combo?
Ok I still have a lot to learn, I still need to read the book more.
Why is the movement adders in a different section of the book?
I am not trying to be difficult or insulting, I feel stupid for asking this.
That is why I am asking those who are more experienced for help.
You will not insult me by answering my questions, or by answering them with demeaning answers, You would insult me by NOT answering my questions.
I am trying to learn, and I understand that my questions are vague but at the moment I still do not understand what I am doing wrong.
I would love to be able to talk face to face with someone while going over character creation.
I do not expect it though.
I do appreciate all of the replies.
The other gaming systems that I have played in are Heroes Unlimited, cyberpunk, Star wars, and D&D 3D.
Thank you for your help and hopefully your understanding.
