[QUOTE="Karl Green, post: 2815970, member: 1467"] Well with the boards being down I figured WHAT the heck I would re-post this... NOTE lots of extra stuff now. The one big brick wall I am running into is Cybernetics... I am just not sure how I want to do them. I am thinking both Feats and Wealth right now. As I am planning a game and we are meeting the players this weekend AND one of them wants to be a fugitive cyber-person (somewhat almost a 'Changed') I have to come up with something :D [size=4][b][color=green][FONT=Franklin Gothic Medium]FADING SUNS TO TRUE20 CONVERSION[/FONT][/color][FONT=Franklin Gothic Medium][/font][/b][/size][b][FONT=Franklin Gothic Medium][/font][/b][FONT=Franklin Gothic Medium][/font] [b][size=3]BASICS AND HOUSERULES[/size][/b][size=3][/size] • [b]Melee Attacks[/b] are determined with the players Str or Dex mod (player’s choice) • [b]Xeno Misunderstanding[/b] – Humans (and Aliens) in the Fading Suns Known Worlds have little understanding of those not of their race, and as such have problems interacting with those not of their race; this mean that they have a -2 to all Charisma based skills vs. “aliens” and –2 to Sense Motives vs. anyone not of their race. Also they get a -2 penalty to any other skills like Medicine (Physick) rolls, where being different would matter. The Feat [b]Xeno-Empathy[/b] (General) allows these penalties to be ignored as the character has learned to understand other races. • [b]Humans[/b] receive all the normal bonuses listed in True20 and +1 Conviction Points [b][size=3]CHARACTER CREATION FOR – “COMPANY OF THE PHOENIX”[/size][/b] • Characters start at 4th level • Characters start with 7 points to distribute on Attributes • Characters will generally be Human, and must choose a broad Path; beginning as either a Noble, a Priest, or a Merchant Guilder. I will allow one or two of “Those who Differ” (Aliens and those of minor Noble Houses or Guilds or near Heretic Cults, Yeomen, etc), but the character must remember that they don’t have any where near the number of rights and privileges as those affiliated with one of the three orders, and must rely on a benefactor. • Choose a Nature of Virtue and a Vice; many of these you can make up yourself but they need my approval. • All Noble, Church and Guilder characters start with the feat of either [b]Imperial Charter – Questing Knight[/b] if Noble, or [b]Imperial Charter[/b] if a priest – [b]Priestly Consort[/b] or [b]Guild Consort[/b] if a Merchant, for free. • Characters begin with (Cha x2) +8 Wealth Points.

[b][size=3][FONT=Franklin Gothic Medium]PATHS[/FONT][/size][/b][size=3][FONT=Franklin Gothic Medium][/font][/size][FONT=Franklin Gothic Medium][/font] In Fading Suns, most peoples follow a “Paths”, which are not generally associated with any one particular Role. Instead a Noble might be a skilled Soldier (warrior) or a Diplomat (expert) or even a Psycher (adapt). The three Major Paths grant the character a free Feat and then help determines his [b]Favored Feats[/b], Common [b]Natures[/b] (player should choice two that best reflect his or her character) and [b]Skills[/b]. For ‘Those Who Differ’ it could be an Alien or a minor Noble, heretical Church Order or Yeoman. These characters generally do not have as much freedom to determine their own destines, and must ally themselves to a Noble House, a Church or Guild to access these things.

Others common languages include… • Barbarian Tongues: o Kurgan (spoken and written) o Vuldrok (spoken and written) • Dialects (generally found in families or planets or religious orders; spoken) • Graceful Tongue (Al-Malik house tongue; spoken) • Latin (holy language of religion; spoken and written) • Machine Chant (Engineering language; spoken & written) • Scavanger Cant (based on Urthish but incorporating alien and invented words; spoken and written “code”) • Xeno Tongues – the most widely known: o Obun (spoken and written) o Ukar (spoken and written) o Vorox (spoken, written form in Urth) o Ascribte (spoken and written) o Gannok (spoken) o Vau (spoken and written) [b][size=3]FEATS[/size][/b][size=3][/size] All the basic Feats listed in the True20 book are available.

In all other respects it is the same. Note also that Laws, etc apply to Imperial Law. [b]NEW FEATS[/b] • [b]Church Ordination[/b] (General) – this feat can be taken multiple times.

[b][size=3]THE SUPERNATURAL[/size][/b][size=3][/size] Psychic powers and the Occult, while rare, exist within the Known Worlds. There are two ‘acceptable’ forms of the Occult – Psychic Abilities and Theurgist Granted Powers. Generally only those associated with the Church can gain access to Theurgist Powers. Psychic Powers can appear just about in anyone, but the Church frowns on their use. All Occult powers also have some Stigma attached to them, something that sets the occultist apart from the rest of humanity. Players should choice a Stigma for their characters and some “odd” affect when they use their powers. Psychic Stigmas are often what medieval folk lore superstitions believe a occult person would be – hair between the eyebrows, an odd birthmark in the shape of a pentagram, a sudden drop in the temperature or their eyes glowing with witchlight when occult powers are being used. Theurgist tend to be more religious in nature – lash marks that appear on the arms and back, all clothing worn eventually becomes stained with blood, unnaturally long bread that grows back overnight if cut, occasionally speaking in nonsense tongues, tears that run down the cheeks, or sleepwalking. [b]Allowed Psychic Powers:[/b] Beast Link, Body Control, Cold Shaping, Combat Sense, Dominate, Drain Vitality, Elemental Aura, Elemental Resistance, Energy Shaping, Enhance Abilities, Enhance Senses, Fire Shaping, Illusion, Manipulate Object, Mind Probe, Mind Reading, Mind Shaping, Mind Touch, Move Object, Pain, Psychic Blast, Psychic Reflection, Psychic Shield, Psychic Trap, Psychic Weapon, Scrying, Sense Minds, Suggestion, Supernatural Speed, Wind Shaping [b]Allowed Theurgist Powers (all sects):[/b] Baraka (see Caliphate Nights), Calm, Cure, Elemental Resistance, Heart Reading, Psychic Shield, Scrying, Second Sight, Sleep, Suggestion, and Ward [b]Reserved Powers by Church Sects:[/b] • Urth Orthodox: Heart Shaping, Light Shaping, Severance • Brother Battle: Combat Sense, Elemental Resistance, Enhance Abilities, Supernatural Strike • Eskatonic Order: True Seeing (see Caliphate Nights), Truth-Reading, Visions • Temple Avesti (Avestiles): Fire Shaping, Pain, Psychic Blast • Sanctuary Aeon (Amaltheans): Cure Blindness/Deafness, Cure Disease, Cure Poison [b]Forbidden Powers[/b] (generally these powers are not going to be allowed. Some of the might exist but they should not be available for characters): Apport, Blink, Computer Link, Phase, Plane Shift, Teleport, Wind Walk. Powers not listed above might appear rarely in the Fading Suns Known Worlds (or for NPC’s only), but no character should start out with any of these or be able to learn them without first seeking a teacher or experiencing a Miracle of some kind (GM call) [b][size=3]EQUIPMENT[/size][/b][size=3][/size] To better fit into the Fading Suns game-set I am recreating some of the Equipment Chart here. Many items found in True20 are not available or are very rare or re-names NOTE that very expensive items reduce ones Wealth score more then listed in True20. Items costing more then 25 reduce Wealth by an additional 1 (in addition with the lose from items over 15), and each additional 5 points over 25 reduces Wealth by an additional 1 (so an item that costs 40 would reduce ones Wealth by a base of 4 points) [b]WEAPONS[/b] MASTERWORK weapons add +1 to Attack checks and cost +5 more then a normal weapon.
