| Character Creation | | See: [[MAID CATastrophe Character Creation]]. Creation rules for other modules, such as the FATE Core conversion, have yet to be finalized. |
| What follows are the rules for creating the standard maid
| |
| characters in Maid: The Role-Playing Game.
| |
| So long as it doesn’t become a problem, with the exception
| |
| of Attributes, you may re-roll any of the aspects of character
| |
| creation. For example, if you don’t like a particular maid’s Special
| |
| Quality, and can’t think of a way you can get into roleplaying that
| |
| kind of character, then roll again and see what you get.
| |
| If you really want to play a single certain type of Maid,
| |
| or have picked out a Stress Explosion type that you think is
| |
| perfect, then ask the GM if it will work.
| |
| Step 1: Attributes
| |
| Roll 2D6 and divide by 3 (rounding down) for each of the six
| |
| Attributes below.
| |
| Athletics Physical ability, combat ability
| |
| Affection How good are you at forming bonds with
| |
| your master and the other maids?
| |
| Skill How good are you at your maid duties?
| |
| Cunning How capable are you at tricking enemies
| |
| and other maids, and deceiving the master?
| |
| Luck Just how lucky are you?
| |
| Will How positive and constructive is your thinking?
| |
| Step 2: Maid Types
| |
| In order to start getting down the image of the character,
| |
| determine her Maid Types. Roll 1D6 twice to get two Maid
| |
| Types; you can have a particular Maid Type twice.
| |
| Apply the bonuses and penalties from the character’s
| |
| Maid Types to her attributes. Zero is the lowest an attribute
| |
| can go; if negative modifiers from Maid Types reduce it to -1
| |
| or -2, write down 0 instead.
| |
| Step 3: Maid Colors
| |
| Roll d66 on the Maid Color Table, and combine the two colors
| |
| to determine the color of your maid’s uniform. You may
| |
| also use this table to roll for your maid’s eye and hair colors.
| |
| Step 4: Special Qualities
| |
| The next step is to determine your maid’s Special Qualities.
| |
| These are various physical, mental, or social traits that distinguish
| |
| a maid from her fellows. Normally maids get two
| |
| Special Qualities, but the GM may wish to increase this to
| |
| between 3 and 5 in order to make the game more interesting.
| |
| Keep in mind that it can be hard to make 3 or more
| |
| special qualities play an actual role in the game. For a starting
| |
| game, we suggest sticking to two special qualities.
| |
| To determine the maid’s Special Qualities, roll 1D66 on
| |
| the Maid Special Quality Table below. Maid Qualities 41-66 | |
| have a star (★) next to them; for all of these, you must proceed
| |
| to a secondary table and roll 1D6 to determine what
| |
| specific Quality you have. If you happen to roll the exact
| |
| same Special Quality Twice, you just get that single Quality.
| |
| | |
| However, you can get two different selections from the secondary
| |
| table of a Quality marked with a ★.
| |
| Step 5: Etcetera
| |
| Roll 1D66 on the Maid Roots and Stress Explosion tables, or
| |
| the GM may allow you to choose. If you are using Maid Weapon
| |
| tables or other optional tables (Trauma, etc), roll for these as well.
| |
| Step 6: Maid Power
| |
| Find your highest Attribute, and roll 1D6 on the corresponding
| |
| Maid Power Table. If two or more attributes are tied for
| |
| highest, you may choose which table to use. Also, if the total
| |
| of all your attributes is 9 or less, you can choose two Maid
| |
| Powers.
| |
| Step 7: Favor and Spirit
| |
| Your starting Favor is equal to your Affection score, times two.
| |
| Your Spirit is equal to your Will score, times ten.
| |
| Both of these can start off at zero if the corresponding attribute
| |
| is zero, making the character initially far more vulnerable
| |
| to dismissal (in the case of Favor) or Stress Explosions
| |
| (in the case of Spirit), but something has to happen during
| |
| the game for either of these to be triggered.
| |
| Step 8: Name and Age
| |
| Finally, write down your maid’s name and age. Determine
| |
| these however you wish.
