 Character Generation Cheat Sheet Here's my first crack at a summary sheet for creating characters in Desolation, based on the document I created for Hollow Earth Expedition. I'm not 100% happy with the layout. I'm ambivalent whether to put in descriptions of the racial abilities, and include the sample questions for the MPH section. Anyways, take a look at it and let me know what y'all think. Once Colin has a decent equipment list, I'll expand the document to include it and a weapons list. Edit: Phooey! The forum doesn't let me upload a PDF. Fine, I'll put it in my AOL account's FTP space. Here's the link: Edit: The link now points to the latest version of the sheet. Enjoy! CGCS_v1.1.pdf

Re: Character Generation Cheat Sheet Looks like a good start, mate. The finished product should be extremely useful.

Re: Character Generation Cheat Sheet I agree, it's nice to have something to give to players rather than passing around the book (especially when you're as protective about books as I am...)

Re: Character Generation Cheat Sheet Very cool, Nestor. One minor edit, Flaws are not optional in Desolation. You have to have at least one.

Re: Character Generation Cheat Sheet Got it. It's always the little things, ain't it? I have a new version, with an expanded MPH section and equipment lists! I'll try to put it up on my FTP Space tonight.

Re: Character Generation Cheat Sheet Nestor, thanks for doing this. I usually end up typing these kinds of things for my own players, so it's a nice change to be able to just have it!
I appreciate the effort!

Re: Character Generation Cheat Sheet No worries. I'm the kind of guy who writes up characters for fun, so having a cheat sheet saves wear and tear on the book. BTW, the latest-and-greatest is up. Let me know if I made any more goofs. I found a hosting site so I can stop abusing my AOL account. I'll modify the link in the OP to point to the new file, too. CGCS_v1.1.pdf

Re: Character Generation Cheat Sheet Bit of errata on pg. 3: Magical Traditions
As noted in these forums, Primal Magic is actually available to Mongrels, Oruskans, and Humans, not just the former two.
cheers!

Re: Character Generation Cheat Sheet The Primal Magic entry has been corrected. The top post now contains a link to the latest file. Enjoy!

Re: Character Generation Cheat Sheet Hullo, Nestor, I've been somewhat derelict in my duties in this regard, but I meant to say "Thanks, mate!" for doing up the cheat sheets on character generation for the system. Good job, as always. I'd rep you, but we can't do that around here, so... Great job, mate!

Re: Character Generation Cheat Sheet Hi, guys! One final tweak. I added a table with the NPC levels to help in writing them up. CGCS_v1.2.pdf
