CREATING CHARACTERS: Think of a name, Age (in years), and history. Roll 2D for STR, DEX, END, INT, EDU, SOC. Choose skills with levels from 0 to 8. Total # of skills, and the total # of levels, is no greater than [Age minus 10]. Buy Cr 100 worth of equipment.
SKILL DIFFICULTIES: Easy=1D, Average=2D, Difficult=3D, etc. +1D for hasty, -1D for cautious.
SKILL ROLLS: Roll difficulty < characteristic + skill level to succeed.
COMBAT: Each character gets to do something each turn. Ranged attacks are at difficulty = range (2D short, 3D medium, 4D long, and so on...). Close attacks are 2D difficulty. Moving while shooting adds 1D to difficulty. A moving target adds 1D to difficulty.
DAMAGE: Subtract armor defense, apply remainder to character's STR, DEX, END. When all three go to zero the character is dead.
NPCs: UPP=777777 plus all needed stuff and skills at level 2. Expert NPCs are created like characters.
