Hey chummers. Someone throw me a quick 'n dirty chargen process for Ghouls, Vampires, and especially Free Spirits.
I figure Ghouls would be the "easiest" to implement as PCs, whereas Free Spirits would be tricky. Cant argue with the RP value, however. Do Ghouls/Vampires get attribute bonuses when they "transform"? If so, how much, and to what attributes? What kind of BP cost would Force be for a Free Spirit? I would imagine that the chargen process for them would be something along the lines of 1: Spirit Type, 2:Force, 3:Being Born, 4:Current (Beginning) Attribs/skills |

Well the sample ghouls and vampires are based off of human, (all vampires are human execpt for the rare elf vamprie)
If you assume the sample vamprie or ghoul had all average stats before becoming infected and transformed you could figure out the bonus. If that is true then if someone becomes a ghoul they get a +4 bonus to his body |

B - 7
A - 3 R - 5 S - 6 Thats a little more than +4 to Body :) Also, I wouldnt say they are based off of a human, as the movement speed section of their stat-block states "As Metatype". ...Of course, that might just be a way of clarifying that they dont have bonuses to movement rate. |

Average Body of 3 ... +4 = 7 Doesn't seem to be too much more than +4 to me. |

I see. Jack was merely giving an example, not trying to stat out the whole thing.

Gotcha. Actually, that system works fairly well, even though IMO Vampires should get some sort of Body or Strength bonus.
That aside, anyone have any ideas on Free Spirits? |

I made a character creation system for free spirits, but it is not intended to be balanced with starting character...

Frank, do you have a web page somewhere. You seem to have about as many house rules and comments as I do. I would like to see them in a collected site sometime.
