Custom Character

Attributes

C.L.A.S.S.I.C. attribute system starts with each attribute at 3, in a range of 1 to 10, and 7 extra points to distribute.

Dropping all the attributes to a value of 1 will give 21 attribute points to distribute, and an extra attribute point to distribute is gained every ten levels. With the current level cap of 50, this gives each character a total of 26 attribute points that can be used to raise attributes above their minimum value to a total of 33 attribute points (26 at your disposal and 7 being used up to keep each attribute at a minumum of 1).

Coordination

Coordination	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10
Action Points (base 3)	+0	+1	+1	+2	+2	+3	+3	+4	+4	+5
%Bonus to Ranged Hit Chance	+1	+2	+3	+4	+5	+6	+7	+8	+9	+10

The number of Action Points derives from Coordination and the sum of Strength, Intelligence, and Speed.

Action Points = 3 + RoundDown(Coordination/2) + RoundDown((Strength + Intelligence + Speed)/4)

%Critical Hit Chance = RoundDown(Luck/2) + Critical Chance from Weapon Skill + Critical Chance from Weapon

%Chance to Evade derives from Speed, Awareness, and Luck.

%Chance to Evade = Speed + RoundDown(Awareness/2) + RoundDown(Luck/2)

Luck provides bonuses to non-combat skill rolls. One point of Luck reduces the chance of Critical Failure and increases the chance of Critical Success by 1%.

Each turn, additional Action Points are awarded on successful Luck rolls (Luck vs random number from 1 to 100)(2 Rolls).

Each level, an additional Hit Point is awarded on successful Luck rolls (Luck*5 vs random number from 1 to 100)(Number of Rolls varies with level).
