[QUOTE="jcfiala, post: 3505669, member: 6223"] Hmm. Well, for one thing, it sort of depends on how you plan to set up the campaign. FUDGE was originally generated for more or less human characters, so just swapping stats over is going to leave you with a lot of Superb+1 and Superb+2 type stuff, depending on what level you're swapping from. So you may want to set everyone down as 'Average Epic' folk, and give everyone a big chunk of what's called Scale, or even just say 'Everyone starts out at Fair automatically, but in comparison to joe new adventurer, they're about Terrible+2 or something like that' - ie, you're starting folks off in the middle, with the assumption that 'normal' is somewhere below that. On the other hand, you could just give everyone really big stats and abilities to start with - the problem with deciding to use FUDGE is that it requires a lot of choices - how do you want to set things up, how do you want combat to work, how do you want the systems to work together... but on the other hand, I could really see how that could work, because you can make it work the way you want.
