Roleplay IN SPACE!

[Zaleramancer]

Unless it's joined with her to the hip, it's not always there. "Almost all the time" Sounds about right for the Ryoka. It may be somewhere else, or be captured or what-not.

"Always Present" means it's literally impossible for the ally to be anywhere but with you. Such as an implant or a supernaturally bonded familiar.

[Zaleramancer]

Well, just start thinking about what you want your character to be good at, and what kind of powers you want him to have.

[Mik_Hael]

Exactly how stupid is 8?

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

Ok, so then this would make my character have spent how many points including the Ryoka ally? And what does the Ryoka template look like?

[Zaleramancer]

Sapience is 6+ IQ.

It's "Below Average".

6 or less means you can't learn technology related skills, or languages.

[Zaleramancer]

Still need to know the IQ.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

Sure thing.

[Mik_Hael]

That doesn't really answer the question.

8 would entitle it to do what.

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

I though I said on the last page, 'slightly less intelligent than a human." Didn't I?

[Zaleramancer]

It would enable it to default to certain IQ based skills.

That's the reason IQ is fairly nice. Tons of skills are IQ based.

In this game, you succeed on a task by rolling dice and getting a result lower than your IQ and skill Mod.

If, for example, you have Computer Hacking at IQ-2 [2] and 12 IQ,  then you would have to roll below a 10 to succeed in hacking something. If you had IQ 14, then you'd have to get below a 12.

You raise stats if you want to use a bunch of skills relating to that stat, or if you want something from that stat.

I put it at 6. It can understand languages, and is smart for an animal, but rather unintelligent compared to even an average human.

[Zaleramancer]

They're as smart as a chimp.

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

Nice. Like the template too.

[Zaleramancer]

So.

I managed to make your person able to jump 30 feet upwards without any kind of running start.

They can make a long jump for distance also.

It's 120 feet.

Your alien is officially a grass-hopper from hell.

And that's assuming earth-like gravity! If we start on the moon, he'll jump 45 feet up and 180 feet over.

Be very careful.

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

That's an amusing mental image. Grasshopper from hell.

[Zaleramancer]

Imagine the horror.

You're just walking around, then you see a huge mantis leaping in from about a hundred feet away, jaws gashing and arms extended.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

And then you realize he overshot you as he flies over your head and crashes into the wall behind you.

[Mik_Hael]

With the shape of a human......yep, now to make some sort of soul eating companion.

How many points did I end up using?

[Mik_Hael]

Which is why he has inhuman aim.
