On the following pages is the basic system for valuing creatures and vehicles in Savage Worlds. The numbers weve
assigned certain things may not be perfect given your particular scenario or setting, so feel free to tweak these values
here and there if you think something needs it.. A million points worth of elves with bows just isnt going to take out a
Sherman tank, and a creature with a huge Strength that usually uses a ranged weapon should get some kind of dicsount
as well.

In general, special abilities that raise attributes or grant
the same bonus as an Edge cost an equivalent amount. A
magical ring that increases its users Strength a die type,
for example, costs the same as increasing the users
Strength a die type (2 points).
Other abilities that have occasional utility generally add
1 point per level. A high-tech Battle Suit adds +2 to the
users Pace, for example, grants him the ability to jump
horizontally and vertically, and adds +1 to his Shooting
rolls. The bonus to Pace is worth 1 point, jumping is worth
1 point, and the bonus to Shooting is worth 2 points (see
Skills).
Edges
3
Ar mor
Armor is 2 points per +1; use the location with the
highest armor level.
Shields are 1 point per point of Parry plus 1 points
per point of Toughness
Mel ee Weapons
Melee weapons are 1 point per +1
Plus:
1 points per point of Armor Penetration
1 points per inch of Reach
-1 points per -1 Parry
1 points per +1 Parry
Melee weapons with variable damage (such as the 3d6
damage of a bangstick) are the maximum damage without
Aces and divided by 2. A bangstick is therefore 9 points
(18 divided by 2).
Ranged Weapons
Ranged weapons are equal to their:
Short Range divided by 5.
Max Damage without Aces divided by 2; use Medium
Range damage for weapons like Shotguns
1 point per point of Armor Penetration
2 points per Rate of Fire (RoF 3 is 6 points)
1 Can Double Tap
2 Can do 3-Round Burst
1 point for a Small Burst Effect, 3 points for a
Medium or Cone, and 5 points for a Large Burst Effect
1 point for a cannister-like effect
-1 point for a Snapfire penalty
-2 point if gun cannot be moved
-2 per round it takes to reload and fire
Most weapons have unlimited ammo. For those with
3-5 shots, divide total by half. For those with 1-2 shots,
divide total by 5.
Vehicl es
Vehicles are equal to their:
Acceleration
Top Speed divided by 10 (round normally)
Highest Toughness value
Climb
The cost of their weapons (use AP ammo when
figuring the value of tank guns); Use the number of
weapons that may fire independently each turn (a tank
with 7 guns but three gunners uses the most expensive
three weapons)
