For example:<br />Merchant: Agi d6, Str d6, Vit d6, Ale d8, Int d8, Wil d6<br />Tong Thug: Agi d6, Str d10, Vit d8, Ale d6, Int d4, Wil d6<br /><br />Thats 20pt in Attributes, equaling in power a Champion or Hero!!! Definately overpowered IMHO! Especialliy taking in mind that the template suggested in "Spacefarer and Prariefolk" for the players only has 15pts in attributes.<br /><br />Seeing that and fact that the number of npcs having a d2 in publications using Cortex rules is quite nill, I would go with a conversion one step lower.<br /><br />d2/d4 = 1, d6=2, d8=3, d10=4, d12=5, d12+2 = 6, and so on....<br /><br />That makes our plain NPC's a Unisystem equivalent of<br /> Merchant: ST 2, DX 2, CON 2, IQ 3, PER 3, WILL 2 ==> 14pts<br /> Tong Thug: ST 4, DX 2, CON 3, IQ 1, PER 2, WILL 2 ==> 14pts<br />instead of<br /> Merchant: ST 3, DX 3, CON 3, IQ 4, PER 4, WILL 3 ==> 20pts<br /> Tong Thug: ST 5, DX 3, CON 4, IQ 2, PER 3, WILL 3 ==> 20ptsRRVistas (Robert)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11911724203195323886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7913319789564397699.post-29238393965587731142010-08-18T10:47:46.675-05:002010-08-18T10:47:46.675-05:00Andrew,
