==Character creation== Creating a character and his car is really easy and can be done in under 10 minutes. *'''1.Character concept, portrait, name, background...''' all the delicious fluffy stuff. Feel free to go wild - the universe is endless and full of weirdest things! *'''2.Aim, Nerve, Brain and Flair.''' Now that you have impression what your character does, let's see HOW he does it. In F-Zero:the RPG main pilot stats are: Aim, Nerve, Brain and Flair. '''Aim:''' very important stat for F-zero pilot, it must have stat rating over C for pilot to compete in F-zero tournament. Aim governs your coordination, balance and driving skill. Aim has 4 skills: *''-Piloting-'' obviously a very important skill for F-zero pilot. Used when driving through a section of a track, piloting a spaceship, etc. *''-Passing-'' this is how you get to the first place (in most cases). Used mostly in races. *''-Balance-'' a lot of stuff from simple jumping to complex acrobatics. Used mostly in CS. *''-Shooting-'' used in CS and some races. Important skill for those, who mix f-zero racing with bounty hunting or other activities like that. '''Nerve:''' not explicitly a physical fitness, more like "the will to power". Used in conflict situations. Nerve skills: *''-Ramming-'' this is how you get to the first place if you don't mind leaving a couple of smoldering piles of metal behind. While not explicitly legal, ramming penalty is really more of a slap on a wrist, than a hindrance. Can be used in CS, of course. Just find a car or push enemy with your body. Generally in race you need to move to your opponent's car first - you cannot ram if your opponent is 50 km/h faster. *''-Blocking-'' used to stop people passing you in race. Or to block bullets/lazer beams in CS. Quite a useful skill. *''-Striking-'' punching, kicking, stabbing, piledriving, falcon punching your opponents in CS. Or cars in vehicle scale, but I doubt it'll do much (unless you are Captain Falcon or Boris Makarov) *''-Lying-'' where a mighty punch fails, some bullshit will find its way. Generally used in CS along with influence. '''Brain:''' In futuristic world of racing, gray stuff matters too. And it is used sparingly - inside or outside the races. Brain skills: *''-Sideswiping-'' using track hazards to your advantage. You won't believe where your opponent could end up after a simple gentle nudge. It's even not rules-prohibited and restricted by speed! It would have been the perfect attack stat if not a single problem - it is risky. If you fail sideswipe you fall victim to your own attack and your opponent is free to laugh at your clumsy attempt. *''-Mechanics-'' a very useful stat when tampering with computers, cars or any other technical stuff. You could get upgrades much earlier, get a lot more information about that alien device or just overclock your car pre-race so it goes faster! (last with Announcer's discretion) *''-Larceny-'' all the fun illegal stuff you can do. Tamper with opponent's car? Open a lock with a lockpick? Steal candy from a child (you horrible, horrible villain)? Larceny is your stat! *''-Savvy-'' this last stat is unique. Savvy not only allows you to know your opponent (protecting you from lying or larceny), it also serves as a re-roll. If you are not satisfied with your roll, you can roll your brain dice ant take the new result, whether it's better or worse. Taking points in savvy doesn't increase the roll, it increases the number of times you can use it per episode. Also savvy is all the magical or mystical stuff, provided you know the mumbo-jumbo. '''Flair:''' The ancient forbidden Art Of Swag. It's how well you talk, how do you act, how much you style on others. Flair skills: *''-Accolades-'' - acting on track, cool-looking stunts... Helps gaining new fans and raising some extra winnings from the race. *''-Cheating-'' - being a loveable rascal never was so easy! Jump from the jumpplate, cut the corner in the air, land a few places in front. Or scrape the guide rails, gaining speed necessary to pass that guy in front. Or cut the corner where there are no guide rails. But beware - if you fail you can land behind everyone (and become a laughingstock) or get disqualified. *''-Dodging-'' - all these people trying to ram, swipe, shoot you - if you are frequently targeted by some jackasses who consider your neon pink car a horrible eyesore on the track get this. You'll be able to stylishly reject all their unwanted advances. *''-Influence-'' silver tongue, lots of money, being the machiest man this side of Milky Way - Influence helps you get new friends, talk down your enemies and persuade sponsors/fans! Mostly used in CS, it can be quite useful nonetheless. Now that we have rough understanding of each stat/skill, let's see how do we assign them. Your character has a certain stat spread that he can assign to different stats. F-zero RPG uses ABCDE rating system with A being d12 and E being d4.<br/> In short:<br/> '''A:1d12'''<br/> '''B:1d10'''<br/> '''C:1d8'''<br/> '''D:1d6'''<br/> '''E:1d4'''<br/> First you must choose the stat spread. There are 7 of them:<br/> '''ABCD'''<br/> '''BBBD'''<br/> '''BBCC'''<br/> '''ACCC'''<br/> '''ABBE'''<br/> '''AACE'''<br/> '''AADD'''<br/> then you assign letter to each stat. Now when you roll the skill check associated with this stat you roll corresponding dice plus numerical bonus from your skill (e.g. if you have B nerve, 2 ranks in "ramming" skill and you are ramming someone, roll 1d8+2). Also you get three skill points to put into three skills. You cannot get 2 points in one skill during character generation. Now when you get skill points you can put them in a new skill or improve skill that you already have, to a maximum of +4 (but each point put increases the cost by one - e.g. to get +3 in skill you first have to get +1 for 1 skill point, then +2 for 2 skill points, then +3 for 3 points). Generally each episode you get one skill point.
