I'm using the standard Palladium system. Roll 4D6 for each of the attributes below, except REF which is calculated, and PERC which is the sum of 3 dice. For each of the attributes unless other wise noted sum the highest 3 dice. If the total is 16 or more add the result of the fourth die. Roll each of the attributes in order. If you roll 23 or 24 for M.E. let me know! For all attributes except PERC if you roll a 1 on the dice re-roll it.
Atrributes :
Intelligence Quotient (IQ)
Mental Endurance (ME)
Mental Affinity (MA)
Physical Strength (PS)
Physical Prowess (PP)
Physical Endurance (PE)
Physical Beauty (PB)
Speed (SPD)
Reflexes (REF)
Perception (PERC)
Some of your attributes may be changed by your skill selections so leave completing your SDC and Hit Points until after you have selected all your skills.
Standard Damage Capacity (SDC) - this is a measure of the non-lethal damage you can sustain. Your ability to absorb bumps, knocks and scratches. It will depend upon your chosen profession and skill selection.
Hit Points (HP) - this is a measure of how much lethal damage you can take, although you need to go greater than minus your PE to die immediately. If you go below zero HP you are in danger of dying and require medical treatment to recover. Roll 1D6 and add your PE.
Either roll on the table below or select. Ensure that you meet the minimum requirements for your selection.
In addition to skills gained from skill programs every one has the following skills
Pilot: Automobile or Pilot: Motorcycle
Mathematics: Basic or Mathematics: Advanced (IQ>=13)
Language: Native (+30%)
Read/Write: Native (+30%)
History: General (+20%)
The maximum number of skill programs that any character can gain is 5 with the maximum number of secondary skills being 12. Characters selecting Military or Secret Service careers after University or College Education have their Skill program choice modified by their chosen path. For example a character graduates from University with a Masters Degree having spent 2 years in the Sixth Form and 2 Years at College. They then join the Military(Elite). The character gains one program for sixth form, a second program for college, two programs for University and a 30% bonus to academic skills for the Masters Degree (Physical skills don't gain the 10% Masters Degree Bonus). They gain 6 secondary skills from Sixth form and 6 from their combined College/University Education. Their chosen career is Military(Elite) however. This means that 2 of their existing skill programs must be Military(Elite) and either a second Military Program or a Communication Program. They do however gain an additional Program from their career selection.
