Admiral Posts: 1524 (May 20, 2006 09:37 AM) Arcadia Squadron Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Tags : None Hey. A couple years ago, I found an online test that spelled out my D&D stats. Since Palladium uses the same scale, I used those figures (and other real-life data) to fill out a character sheet for myself. Name: Stephen "FPilot" Bierce Rank: Civilian (never joined military) Alignment: Unprincipled Selfish Hit Points: 9 + 1D6/Level S.D.C.: 20 Experience Level: see comments below O.C.C.: Airplane Pilot/Intelligence Specialist Savings: 2D4 x $1000 (that's true, but I rolled low) I.Q.: 10 -- M.E.: 16 -- M.A.: 8 -- P.S.: 13 -- P.P.: 11 -- P.E.: 9 -- P.B.: 6 -- SPD: 10 Age: see comments below Sex: Male Weight: 135 lbs/60 kg Height: 5'8"/1.8M Land of Origin: Pennsylvania, U.S.A. Birth Order: second born Disposition: Insecure, Fussy, Socially-Awkward Comments: My O.C.C. skills sets are a mix of Investigative Reporter (see Macross II RPG), Military Specialist and Field Scientist. I have no Weapons Proficiencies (pacifist parentage) and if I have Hand-To-Hand: Basic, it's probably with penalties. Of course, in reality I don't own any "mecha", but in a RPG setting, I would probably possess at least one or two operational aircraft. How do you set Experience Level from your real-life standing? I'm probably third or fourth level now at best...I've had a horrid career so far. If anybody has any firm ideas to the alternative, tho', I'm all ears. I haven't set Age because that would be up to the GM running me as an NPC. I'd be first level through about age 22, and second level to about age 27, at least as far as I can guess. Any questions or comments? PS: Skills Lists O.C.C. Skills: Pilot Civil Aircraft Radio: Basic Intelligence Photography Research Writing Math: Advanced Read Sensory Instruments Navigation Other Skills: Drive Automobile Basic Electrics/Electronics Medical: First Aid Cook Basic Mechanics Prowl Running TV/Video Computer Operations Computer Programming Computer Repair Stephen "FPilot" Bierce

Most humans have 20 SDC but people who do more physical work or have more physical training have higher levels of SDC. Stephen "FPilot" Bierce

Admiral Posts: 1322 (February 5, 2008 06:01 PM) Arcadia Squadron Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Bumping up because of renewed interest in the game, and more recent tests I'd taken, one of which set my current experience to Fifth Level. I guess that means I go up one level every eight years or so. I live such a soft life. :/ http://www.easydamus.com/character.html Stephen "FPilot" Bierce Pilot's Log: http://frustratedpilot.livejournal.com Last Edited By: FPilot February 5, 2008 06:05 PM.

1st Lieutenant Posts: 205 (February 6, 2008 03:26 PM) 2nd Lieutenant Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I'd say your off on tri stat compared to Palladium First you need to take an average of the relevant stats. Then you'd probably be looking at 3 to 4 Palladium attribute points in almost every Tri Stat point. ie: 4 is adult human average, so a score of 9, 10 or 11 would go there. A 6 which is signifigantly above human average would probably be about a 15 to 18 or so. ie: Max Sterling would probably have a Body Stat of about 10 (World Class Abillity) or 11 (Legendary Ability), then take levels of the not so strong defect to counter balance his not being much more than average in strength. In Palladium he has a 22 PP IIRC.

Admiral Posts: 1324 (February 6, 2008 05:28 PM) Arcadia Squadron Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Well, OF COURSE you would have to work from the Mean of the related stats to go from Palladium to Tri-Stat! I didn't say anything otherwise. Gets the 1987 print of the RPG Max Sterling...here we go: IQ -- 14; ME -- 18; MA -- 11; PS -- 12; PP -- 22; PE -- 13; PB -- 9; SPD -- 13 Score Mean (BODY) = (PS+PP+PE+SPD)/4. So for Max his Palladium score Mean is 15, which means his BODY in Tri-Stat is 9. MIND [based on IQ, ME and MA] is 8 in Tri-Stat; SOUL [based on IQ, MA and PB] is 6. Total of 23 Character Points.

Admiral Posts: 1325 (February 7, 2008 12:54 PM) Arcadia Squadron Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Now if I were taking a "native" Tri-Stat character and codifying Palladium stats for it, the reverse would work, in a different method. Looks up Tri-Stat stuff generated for an article... "Rayome Edinburg Age: Preteens/Early Teens, (quasi-Caucasian) girl with fair brown hair. Wears a sailor-fuku variety uniform aboard ship. Stats--Body 4, Mind 5, Soul 6 Attributes--Acrobatics Level 1, Appearance Level 2, Strong Soul Level 1 Defects--None. Personal Gear--Not Applicable. Derived Values--ACV 5, DCV 3, Health Points 50, Energy Points 55." Now looking at the Body stat, I could either set all four related Palladium stats to 9, or I could throw the points together (36) and divvy them between the four to better match the character. Since Rayome is more agile than she is strong or tough, I could subtract a point or two from PS and/or SPD and/or PE and add them to PP. And further interpolation would be needed to convert the Mind and Soul stats into IQ, ME, MA and PB.

Fleet Admiral Posts: 2009 (February 7, 2008 02:24 PM) Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Don't forget that if the character has acrobatics (as a Palladium skill), depending on version, it will get +1 to some stats (+1D4 to P.P. if using the Ninjas & superspies version, but I'd probably not use that version unless they were at a higher level than just 1 in acrobatics) Stan Bundy sbundy@kih.net ICQ: Basara (2878324) Xfire: basara549 Administrator, RDF-HQ Communications Center, and Ringmaster of the Disciples of Zor Webring Fanfic Author: The Freeman Chronicles, and many other Robotech Fanfics Author of the ABP-Z4 for the Robotech RPG (The Rifter #5), and net supplements for all Palladium RPGs.

1st Lieutenant Posts: 206 (February 7, 2008 04:08 PM) 2nd Lieutenant Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I find it interesting that you factor the IQ attribute into both the Mind and the Soul stats. I'd say it's definitely in the Mind stat along with ME . . .but I don't think it belongs in Soul. ME might be a candidate for double dip, since it has a role in resisting stuff, but I think double diping for conversion purposes is dangerous as it makes characters with one extraordinarily high attribute signifigantly more powerful. MA could be a part of Soul, but PB is better replaced using the Apperance Attribute and Marked Defect. Spd could be a part of Body but I think is better represented in the Speed Attribute and Not So Fast Defect I still think that Max should have a 10 or 11 Body, but use the Not So Strong Defects and (to a lesser extent) the Not So Tough and Not So Fast Defects to reduce his effective PS, PE and Spd attributes relative to his phenomenal PP.

IQ 12 ME 10 MA 8 PS 10 PP 14 PE 8 SPD 14 Had two years of collage with only the basics done. HTH Tae Kwon Do 6th or 7th level, Judo 4th or 5th level, and Jujitsu 4th or 5 level. Note: Yes I studied all 3, my class was litteraly a Hins 57 class of Martial Arts, with those 3 being the main ones tought. With several other styles of the best moves thrown in to make up for any weaknesses that any one style might have. My instrutor was very knowlegable. Driving car and small pickup. WP hand gun, bolt action, and semi automatic and tanfus(think wooden police night sticks) all equal to 1st or 2nd level. English and writing 90% (Note my best subjects in school) And that is about it for me.
