Customizing Individuals
Customising Individuals
By Daryl Lonnon
I found myself trying to think of a good way to customise individuals this weekend. So I sat down a wrote up a system.
It's designed to be easily added to and/or subtracted from (in case the user thinks a improvement/defect is too powerful,
it can just be removed). First is an example, then some notes on how I think it should be used (and how I think it should
be integrated with a campaign), then tables, then the improvements/defects.
Feel free to take this and add to it. Use it. Post it. I place it in the public domain (although I wouldn't mind seeing
additions/modifications). I also wouldn't mind seeing any comments you have.

======= W ITHOUT FURTHER ADO =========
Example:
Before play, me and my opponent decide that for 5 pts you can have a character roll on the improvements table. We
also decide that any character that rolls on the table immediately recieves one serious wound. With that in mind, I
allocate 20 pts to make my Nameless leader a little more special. So before we begin (with my opponent watching) I
first roll up a serious wound.
A 68, so my Nameless has a level 2 wound. Randomizing amongst the level 2 wounds I roll a 5, Lost Primary Arm.
Ouch! I lose my secondary attack and get a -1 CC and a +1 Def (since I wouldn't fight as well with my off hand).
Hopefully I'll get some decent improvements.
First roll is a 5, then followed by a 1. So I've got a physical advantage. Then I roll the percentile dice and get a 42 ...
which means a level 1 physical advantage. There are currently 5 level 1 physical advantages ... so randomizing between
them I roll a 1. So my Nameless is Strong (+1 to ST).
Second roll is a 6, then followed by a 4 on the Advantage Table. Once again a physical advantage (I'm getting lucky).
Percentile dice roll a 11. Another level 1 physical advantage. This time I roll a 3 for Skilled. Nameless are CC troops,
so I recieve a +1 to CC (offsets the -1 I get for missing an arm!).
Third roll is a 1. Eek, a disadvantage. On the disadvantage table I roll a 4. A physical disadvantage. For it's level I roll a
70. A level 2 disadvantage. Maybe this was a bad idea. There are currently only 2 physical defects. I roll a 1, and
recieve Grossly Fat. The +1 to size doesn't count (since Nameless are mounted) but I still recieve the +1 to ST and a -1
to MV.
Last and final roll is a 2. No improvements or defects.
In summary, my Nameless recieves a +1 to Def, +1 to ST, -1 MV, and loses his secondary attack. He's Strong and
Skilled for a Nameless, but also grossly fat and one armed. Maybe I shouldn't have tried to "improve" him ... but he is
unique! I "name" him: The One-Armed Toad of The Mishweed Marsh, Unnamed Servant of the Dark One.
[ Note: I actually rolled all of the above up using the following
system, although I think I got extremely unlucky. ]
Notes:
o These rules are OPTIONAL!!!
o No one skill may go above 18.
o Advantages are NOT cumulative (take the highest for that particular
attribute) ... unless it specifically says so.
o Disadvantages are cumulative.
o Campaign Rules (after the battle):
* Roll on Last Wound table for every model with 0 wounds.
* Roll on Fatigue table for every individual.
* Roll on Wound table for every wound an individual took.
* Roll on Improvement table for every indivdual.
o I don't specify all the tables ... it's much easier to add/subtract
advantages/wounds/defect/blessings/curses if I don't.
o Levels are roughly defined by how much they are worth.
o Please add more!
