Savage Worlds: Summarized

The conce#t of Savage Worlds can be summari,ed with a few sim#le guidelines% Bour character)s ex#erience in a s&ill is determined b$ the si,e of the dice the$ roll for that s&ill% Static bonuses added to the roll are rare and highl$ sought after% 1ost rolls sim#l$ require the character to roll against a difficult$ number of 8, but bonuses and #enalties can ma&e this harder to attain% "la$er characters and s#ecial nonC#la$er characters gain a bonus dice called a Wild Die the$ can use to re#lace certain rolls, giving them a higher chance of success% These s#ecial characters also get Bennies :43@5)s slang for benefits; which allows them to reroll bad rolls, activate s#ecial #owers, and ma&e themselves more #owerful% So remember, high dice and lots of bonuses and bennies are what $ou want to ideall$ have%

the$ act around others, how the$ s#end their free time, and how the$ a##roach #roblems% When $ou get into the crunch of character creation, these will hel# $ou decide what &inds of s&ills, hindrances, and edges to ta&e% With the #ersonalit$ of $our character #ic&ed out, focus on their #h$sical descri#tion% ( #icture can hel# $ou visuali,e% Thin& about factors li&e age, s&in tone, e$e and hair color, height, and weight% These are Aust to hel# $ou thin& and visuali,e $our character% With these down, it)s time to consider $our last big decision before $ou design $our character% Will $ou be a warrior 1eister or a #owerful Demon Wea#onD ( 1eister is both a warrior and a conductor of sorts, guiding the demonic #ower of the Demon Wea#on% 1eisters tend to be ver$ hard$ and #h$sicall$ strong% 1eisters also learn the s#ecial attac&s% 6owever, their actual fighting st$les var$ widel$% Some go for straightCu# combat, others tr$ to ma&e u# for their lac& of Strength with snea& attac& damage% Others use combat maneuvers to wea&en and destabili,e their foes% On the other hand, Demon Wea#ons are the wea#on of choice for their 1eister% The$ are humans who become wea#ons of all &inds% Some Demon Wea#ons are strong and brutish, imbuing their 1eister with great Strength and #rotection% Others are more clever and use tric&s against their foes to both ma&e u# for their lac& of Strength or combat s&ill but to also hel# allies% With a general character idea settled on, $our first tas& is to #ic& $our attributes%

(ttributes are a measure of $our character)s stats, such as intelligence :Smarts;, raw Strength :Strength;, and will#ower :S#irit;% (ll of the attributes are im#ortant in their own wa$s, de#ending on how $our character is #la$ed% (fter attributes are selected, s&ills are assigned% Bou get 49 s&ill #oints and assign them to s&ills that would match $our #ro#osed character% Bou can #ic& from an$ of the s&ills on the list% !or a 1eister, combat s&ills are crucial, but Demon Wea#ons can be more general, ma&ing them good for investigations, #ersuasion, or &nowledge rolls% Of course, the 1eister can also be s&illed at this% Some 1eisters might not even be s&illed in a standCu# fight% 6indrances are selected now% =aining hindrances ma&e characters more fun to role#la$ and even give $ou bonus advances :ex#lained next;% Bou can gain two advances through hindrances% ( maAor one grants an advance and two minor grant an advance together% Of course, one doesn)t need to ta&e two advances worth of hindrances% The$ could Aust ta&e one advance)s worth or none% ow, to ex#lain advances% (t character creation, $ou have one advance, #lus the ones $ou might have gotten from hindrances% (n advance can im#rove $our character, giving them better attributes, increasing s&ills, or gaining Edges% Bou ma$ onl$ boost one attribute b$ one die at character creation% (fter that, $ou gain an (dvance b$ gaining 9 Ex#erience, which is awarded at the end of a session based on

Soul Eater Evans:

Climbing (Strength :
=ames are rarel$ run in flat terrain% (fleet eggs might exist in all sorts of out of the wa$ locations such as mountainto#s, trees, old ruins, etc% !urthermore, climbing can be used in combat to get above an o##onent and gain a G4 advantage on attac& rolls from that height :assuming it wor&s out #h$sicall$, a character standing on a roof swinging a sword is no threat to the gu$s below;% Climbing is both an action and uses $our move for the turn% ?oll climb% *f successful, $ou move u# a number of )squares) :or $ards; equal to half of $our Strength die :so Strength d2 means $ou move u# 8 $ards;% *f $ou succeed with a ?aise, $ou move u# $our full Strength% But if $ou fail, $ou don)t move at all that turn% (nd if $ou critical fail, $ou fall%
