If you’d like some variety in character ability scores, roll on this table for each rank needed :
FASERIP – Crime Does Not Pay
Villains and NPCs and mooks are not the stars, so a suggestion is to adjust the rank numbers when creating them to be inferior. This gives some numeric variety, too.
Feeble (1)
Poor (3)
Typical (5)
Good (8)
Excellent (18)
Remarkable (28)
Incredible (38)
Amazing (45)
Monstrous (70)
Unearthly (90)
For normal people and mooks you could take that further and actually go the minimum starting route:
Feeble (1)
Poor (3)
Typical (5)
Good (8)
Excellent (16)
Remarkable (26)
Incredible (36)
Amazing (46)
Monstrous (63)
Unearthly (88)
FASERIP – Rank Numbers and Character Creation – Advanced
Rank Numbers and Character Creation
One way character creation is done in 4CS and predecessors is to assign the lowest of the numeric range to starting characters. Here’s an option:
The game should be about the characters, so have them start on par with their predecessors with regards to abilities and powers.
So that you have:
Feeble (2)
Poor (4)
Typical (6)
Good (10)
Excellent (20)
Remarkable (30)
Incredible (40)
Amazing (50)
Monstrous (75)
Unearthly (100)
for starting characters, to put them on par with Shellheads and Women Without Fear.
