[QUOTE="Morrus, post: 6614033, member: 1"] Yes, it's not complete. I only started doing it a week or two ago, and there's a lot of info to add. The playtest document is probably your best bet for chargen stuff. Secondary attributes are the optional ones. MAGIC, CHI, PSIONICS. Not all games will use them all, and even in games which use one or more of them, not all characters will have them. Starting score of 3, not starting dice pool of 3d6. Each additional dice gets harder and harder to gain; a starting score of 3 gives you 2d6. You need a score of 6 to get 3d6, and 10 to get 4d6. Yep. That'll take me days to transcribe from the playtest documents. I'll do it when I have time, but for now use the playtest document. Yeah, the rules reference document is best used as a quick reference, not an actual rulebook. It only has about 10% of the material there, if that. I view it more as a thing where folks can quickly look up a chart or an exploit, though it will grow as and when I have the time. I'll clarifiy - use the playtest document, but if the SRD contradicts it, it's newer. It shouldn't happen much, but the playtest document is some months old, and the SRD is a week old. :) The N.E.W. docuemnt is pretty up to date, actually; it's if you use anything from the O.L.D. one, that dates back to last October. If you're only using the N.E.W. one, you should be largely fine, but there may be some minor differences. [/QUOTE]
