I'm curious about how people build their characters PCs and NPCs. Share your process in brief or in detail. This is chiefly for SR4, but if you haven't made the leap yet, feel free to share your SR3 chargen process.
To get some thoughts percolating... - SR3 or SR4? - Where do you start? - What are the first points you spend? - What are the last points you spend? - Which part of chargen is a chore? Why? - Which part of chargen is your favorite? Why? - Relative to spending points, how much time do you spend on non-point related character building - fleshing out contacts, the 20 questions, etc.? Why? - Are you mostly a player making PCs or a GM making NPCs? Assume that whatever PC or NPC that you are making is needed in a game. |
