END 5 gives 3 dice, giving between 3 and 18 health. With the triple END rule there's really no point in rolling. So unless that changes, it may as well be the same as Cr. or triple END. My point with the psionic careers is they all require PSI 2+, so there are only the two ways to actually get...

A few things: 1) With health do you roll your END dice or dice equal to your END stat? 2) The character sheet has the wrong calculations for defences 3) There are two ways to develop your Psi: being a psionic race or a human Talent with +1 psi for your species ability. Should there be...

Those are the scores I was talking about.

However, it is the example you give in the book. The only time I can ever see a static difficulty would be when trying to be stealthy or sneaky, wouldn't it make more sense to have a 10+2xINT+Perception ranks as a defence instead?

Re-reading the rules ready for our first game I noticed something- if you are arm-wrestling someone with say 5 STR and you have 5 STR, unless the GM calls for a roll, you can't actually beat them- the difficulty is STRx4 or 20, you roll (STR/2)+1 dice or 3d6- giving you between 3 and 18- you can...

Oh- that's unfortunate- if you do stuff in word and convert to PDF it keeps all the hyperlinks in the contents and auto-updates them.

Also-on a sidenote- is it possible to hyperlink the contents in the next update? It would make the book slightly easier to navigate.

Then at some point it would be good if there were guidance on how to award it- an angry politician can be far more dangerous than a deadly creature.

With D20 you ballpark as well- they give you guidance for the XP things are worth- within a range- its art rather than science- this whole 'calculation' is very very complicated. And what about non-combat NPCs? That said, with your calculations- this sheet will track your antagonist and also...

I tried to create my own spreadsheet- but couldn't manage it as I couldn't work out all of the numbers etc. I think perhaps a more simple 'art' style system like d20 might make things a little easier- it won't be mathematically as perfect- but it will be easier for GMs to work with.

Seriously need help here- the formula is so insanely complex and not very clear is it Health/ ((25.2/Defence)*25.2)*soak PLUS 24/(attack [all attack dice or some?]*4.2)*(damage dice*4.2)+((range [squares or feet?]/10)*4.2)? Or do you add them? And what is he stray 25 for?

I really like the ideas- they've certainly got a Judge Dredd feel to them (rather than say a Warhammer 40k feel). I understand the END increases, but there is a part of me that wonders whether the effects of the radiation might negate gains in toughness? What about a Charismatic Mutant- with...

Cr. Increases present a problem with the +3 to stats, as only that and Rep are worth half it poses a real problem with groups where REP doesn't make sense. Most of the +1d6s aren't to specofoc skills- e.g. the specialist would include Mechanics or Engineering checks too. Your officer boosting...

Considering there are a lot of careers that give them.

Also- what are Technobabbles? And the sample adventure refers to 'packages' what are they?

A few are from warpath (in particular the Veer-Myn) many of them are in the Rebs faction, and there is one i've missed- the 'hulk' from the marauders.

We're going to try playing Mantic's Universe as our N.E.W. game- namely the Deadzone style stuff. As a part of that, I've created some stuff to use- Human (and Android) still stand as races, plus all of these, a few racial careers as well a few others. Firstly if anyone has any suggestions for...

I'm just worried because we've played 'you can do anything' games with skills working like this before, and hey never seem to work!

No- exactly- whilst you can do 'anything' you will fail at most things (based on challenging difficulty levels) a lot of the time- that will either lead to artificially lowering difficulties or gaming sessions with lots of "So you failed at that, want to try again? Or would you rather just give...

Starter of 3 ranks, plus 5 5 others is really quite low- your character will barely be able to do anything, certainly won't seem heroic and certainly won't be rounded as you'll only have a few, really focused skills unless you've flitted about in careers.
