<b>Character Creation</b><br/><br/><i>Step One</i>: Record Character Pool (5)<br/><br/>A lot depends on the Character pool. It determines how many dice you roll, how many attributes you get, and your hit points. It will only go down in hit-point loss, and even then regenerates quickly back to 5.<br/><br/><i>Step Two</i>: Pick attributes (10, +1 sexual-theme attribute or perk)<br/><br/>Attributes are the skills and abilities of the game. You can select just about any skill you can imagine, so long as it makes sense for the anime-fantasy genre. You have 10 points to spend on attributes, as well as a single point to spend on any sexual themed attribute or perk, of your choosing. No attribute can be higher than 5.<br/><br/>Example Attributes:<br/>A Combat Attribute: Just because fighting other Cursed is difficult, doesn’t mean the monsters can’t get a beat-down.<br/>Stamina: For toughing out exhaustion and poisons.<br/>Resist Magic: For shrugging off magical curses and direct effects (This won’t protect you from the Curse, however)<br/>Read Scroll: In Shattered Relic there are many magic scrolls that can give bonuses, penalties, hints, or even new attributes and perks. With this attribute you have a chance of seeing if the scroll does something good or something bad.<br/>Stealth: A fight avoided is a fight won.<br/>Acrobatics: Hooray for physics-defying anime stunts!<br/>Escape Artist: For when someone has a crush on you.<br/>Bluff: “Me? Cursed? Surely you must be joking.”<br/>Pick Locks: Most of the buildings are still locked. This covers magical as well as mundane locks.<br/>Navigation: Finding your way to the hospital, library, or through a dark cave can be really handy, sometimes.<br/>Search: To find important clues and traps.<br/>Rope tricks: Kinky!<br/><br/><i>Step Three</i>: Pick Quirks and Perks, if any<br/><br/>Quirks and Perks are the merit-and-flaw system of Dice-Chucker. Quirks are penalties that give you extra attribute points. Perks are similar to attributes, only they are for things that you don’t really need to roll. Like for breathing underwater, or for possessing a magic sword.<br/><br/>Attribute points can buy Perks on a 1 for 1 basis. Quirks give back attribute points also on a 1 for 1 basis. More information can be found on Page 3 of the PDF.<br/><br/>Example Perks<br/>Support Group (3): You have a group of people helping you out from afar. They may be friends, family, or mercenaries, but they’re still committed to helping you out. They provide information, supplies, and even pull you out of a rough spot now and then. But be careful they don’t get corrupted…<br/><br/>Map (2): You have in your possession a map of Shattered Relic. While it only shows the streets of the main city, you can find your way around much easier than those other fools.<br/><br/>Iron Will (Variable): You will not fall to the arrows of your enemies or their seductive touch. This perk adds extra Hit Points, 1 for every attribute point you put into perk. You lose these hit points first.<br/><br/>Flight (3): Wheeeeeeeeeeeeee! You can fly about as fast as a bird. Much quicker, and much safer than wandering the streets.<br/><br/>Example Quirks<br/><br/>Vulnerable to Poison (3): Your immune system is weak. Maybe you hit the books instead of the gym, or maybe you got really sick as a kid. Either way, Poisons have double the effect on you.<br/><br/>Vulnerable to Magic (3): As above, only against magic. Does not affect the Curse.<br/><br/>Slow (2): You don’t really get that whole ‘running away’ thing. When you need speed, you’ll find you don’t have it.<br/><br/>Sensitive Spot (2): There’s a particular part of your body that’s sensitive to stimulation. Anyone who uses that in a sexual attack does twice the damage against you.<br/><br/><i>Step Four</i>: Pick equipment<br/><br/>There’s an equipment list on page 9 of the PDF. You can have any weapon or armor with a rating of 3 or lower. You can have any other non-magical equipment that you can reasonably carry. Trust me, it won’t help you much here.<br/><br/><i>Step Five</i>: Record Corruption Rate (10%)<br/><br/>Corruption rate is how quickly the curse corrupts the world around you (and at higher levels, your own body). A better explanation will be in ‘Special Systems’. It also serves as your chances of impregnation/being impregnated. It starts at 10%, and can never go any lower.<br/><br/>That’s all for the basics. You’re ready to start playing! Huzzah!<br/>
