🎲 Character Creation

Furrian Dice, simplified as Fia – Dice, is a simple free-formed tabletop fantasy roleplaying game. Okay that was lengthy, it's basically a game where everyone plays a part in a story, whether it's yourself or an entirely different character.

The game is dictated by the Field Master (FM for short) and tells the story that you, as a player will go along. Remember, this is only a guide. Be prepared to have “rules” broken in many ways.

This part covers character creation.

As a player, you are playing a character. Your actions will reflect that of your character's fate.

Now fill in the following:

1. Player Name, which is usually your real name, or your username/alias when playing online
2. Character Name, what your character is called. Some FMs might call you that name instead when roleplaying

When creating a character from scratch, you get these for free: (Keep this in mind)

• 10 Action Points (AP) for interactions
• 10 Force/fatigue Points (FP) for skills
• 5 Hit Points (HP) for battles
• 6 points (PT) to spend (keep this in mind for later)

Traits are used to help in interacting within the world. These come into play when there's a conflict between the character and something else. (like characters, obstacles)

You start with 1 pt in every trait.

Stats are used specifically for combat. These come into play when the conflict gets rough and life is on the line. The way of attacking is divided into two: magical and physical.

You start with 5 pt in every stat.

If you want an easier way to calculate this:

• If you don't have a template: Write 9 hollow circles horizontally or vertically. On one end, write one of the stats and write the conflicting stat on the other. The follow the instruction below as if you already have a template.
  
  
• If you have a template: There should be nine circles in-between two stats. The middle of the 9 circles is 5 for both stats. Fill in the corresponding circle depending on the amount of points you want to assign with each stat. One point going to any side adds one point to that side and removes one point to the other.
    – Example: STR ○ ○ ● ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ RES = +2 STR -2 RES = 7 STR 3 RES

If you have a character for Furria, this points to your character's Stat Balance.

Skills are special actions that can help in a lot of situations. Skills are free-formed and are entirely up to the player, as long it can cover a field of expertise. All skills cost FP inside of battle. You would have to agree with the FM with your skills, just to keep it fair.

※ You can level up skills later on. The cost will go higher per level up
※ Rule: Cure (Status Healing), Healing and Revive are not the same

In some adventures, you may need a weapon. Weapon styles dictate what weapon you are versed on using for the journey. In addition to having a free weapon skill when it is needed, some weapon styles do exchange one stat for another, helpful if you don't really need a certain stat. The type of weapon could also benefit in some situations.

Even if you have your own weapon style, this doesn't mean you start with your own weapon from the get-go. The FM might say you don't even have your weapons yet.

Tip: If you want a more specific weapon, try convincing your FM and see if they agree with it.
If you have a character for Furria, this points to your character's Weapon Type of Choice or Specific Weapon of Choice.

※ In the following list:

• 2H means 2-handed. The weapon must be wielded with both hands.
• AT means attack. It means this is a weapon version of the item.
• Light = +1 SPD -1 STR
  Strong = +1 STR -1 SPD
  • SOR instead of STR for cast-type weapons
  • DEF instead of STR for defense-type weapons

A Weapon Skill is a free skill that is related to your weapon. Before choosing a weapon skill, you first should choose a weapon. Despite this, it will still cost FP when taking an action. You are allowed to level up your weapon skill for later.

Examples: Aim, Archery, Explosion, Fire Magic, Fencing, Force Pull, Gravitate, Grapple, Shield Bash, Thrust
Remember: Skills are not only for combat. This includes weapon skills!

Qualities are very broad skills, jobs or stereotypes. They somewhat act like very broad skills, but these don't have a cost in FP nor they can level up.

Examples: Charismatic, Strong, Knight, Mercenary, Scholar, Smart

Aspects are actually optional. They contribute as bonuses when doing an action or skill related to the aspect. Remember, these cannot be leveled up later on. However, there are services in the world to change this, but are very rare.

If you have a character for Furria, this points to your character's Aspects.

There are 50 usable aspects in total.

After all of that, your character is now complete! Now go out there and create stories that you and your friends will remember!
