Alright, this is one of the few places where it's your person rather than what your person has. Characteristics are what makes your character slightly better at something, or slightly worse. There are two types of Characterisitcs, Skills and Faults, Overall having the same number of Skills as Faults is good because the Skills give more than a Fault will take, often a Fault will only cancel out part of a skill.
Currently there's only six of each, and for when you create your character you get to pick a Skill and I'll be assigning a random Fault via the use of rolling real dice.
Skills:
- Hunter: +1 initiative, +1 attack
- Sniper: gain +1 attack & +1 pierce at range 5+
- Fencer: gain +2 attack & +1 pierce in Melee
- Demolitionist: AoE +1, thrown range +1
- Salvager: +2 loot check, + 3 max mass carried
- Mechanic: +1 repair check, & +2 use check
Faults: (six because 1D6 ease)
- Lazy: -1 initiative
- Weak: -4 max mass carried
- Poor Aim: -1 attack range 4+
- Bad Toss: grenade range -1 & -1 damage.
- Helpless: -1 melee, -1 dodge
- Fumbling: -1 repair check
If you have any ideas for any other Characteristics go ahead and post them down below and let me know so I can take a look.
