#4c system

We begin by rolling a d100 for our origin. 84—Technologically Enhanced.

The character’s powers are the result of devices and gadgets. Intellect & Lifestyle +20.

Alright, definitely in my wheelhouse, most of my characters hew towards the Artificer model.

Now, we determine our primary values. Roll 1d100, and consult a chart. (Not a huge fan of Number+Chart rolling, in general; I prefer to streamline results whenever possible, but I’m giving this one the benefit of the doubt.)

Primary Traits:

Melee: 40 (Low Superhuman) Coordination: 3 (Below-Average Human) Brawn: 20 (Exceptional Human) Fortitude: 10 (Above-Average Human) Intellect: 50 (30+20 for Technologically Enhanced) (Superhuman) Awareness: 6 (Average Human) Willpower: 20 (Exceptional Human)

Secondary Traits:

Damage (Melee+Coordination+Brawn+Fortitude): 73 Fortune (Intellect+Awareness+Willpower): 76 Lifestyle (Roll on Rank Table, +20 for Technologically Enhanced): 50 (equivalent to a Small Nation… interesting.) Repute (d100/3, round up): 31

Number of skills (rolled on a table… which seems to give a distinct possibility of wildly unbalanced characters…): Two skills/contacts. Appear to be freeform, interesting. Going back to this small nation thing, I think “Politics”—I’m thinking my character is the monarch of some forgotten country, rich with technology and very strong, but clumsy (maybe a mole-man, well, no, obviously a mole-man). With that in mind, my contact will be the plucky reporter who discovered my country and brought me to the world at large.

Number of Powers (still random… still rubs me the wrong way): 2. Flight (Rank 10, or 4 sectors/turn) and Super-Leaping (Rank 10, or 4 sectors/turn). That seems… redundant, but the dice fall where they will. Also not particularly mole-manic, so instead I think we’ll veer towards Tom Strong territory; raised in a high-gravity environment (hence the superhuman strength and jumping), and taught to be a super-genius from a young age, eventually bestowing her with an arsenal of self-made technology, including an anti-gravity belt (the flight power).

And… that seems to be it!

Likes: I like the relative speed of it, and I’m a sucker for randomized characters, especially in superhero games.
