Creating a Character

Creating a character is a simple process in FutureSide. The first step is to determine

your general competency rating, or GCR. This is the amount of XP you will begin the game with
and, thus, the amount of Skill Points (SP) you are allowed to spend immediately on skills.
Currently, there are 3 GCR Tiers.

Tier I: 3,600 SP
Tier II: 6,400 SP
Tier III: 7,500 SP

As a Tier I character, you will only be able to select the most basic level of of skills and
won’t be able to specialize just yet. Don’t worry, you’ll soon be able to become the character
you’ve always dreamed of. A Tier II character has many more options for specialization, and
the uniqueness of that character is just developing. As a Tier III character you have almost
limitless freedom to be whatever you want, as you will have access to almost all of the abilities
available.
After you have chosen your Tier and have selected your skills its time to add up your
modifiers and add them to your base stats. The Base stats for a human are listed here.

Movement Speed: 20 feet (4 inches)

Defense (Front/Back): 10/5
Aim (accuracy): No Bonus
Health: 3d12 + 0
Weight Carried: 0lb.

Once all of these modifiers have been written down on a sheet of paper (IN PENCIL) it’s
time to equip items. Items grant additional bonuses to these stats and are valuable assets to
adventurers. After you have determined all of your stats, it’s time to begin your adventures on
the Far Side.

The final step is to roll your Strength and Perception Attributes. These are added to
rolls that determine the success or failure of certain actions. Strength, for example, is used
for things like melee combat and jumping over gaps. Perception is used for noticing things and
for judging distances. Both of these scores are determined by rolling 2d6.

Strength is increased with the Iron Will skill and Perception by the Spacial Awareness
skill.
