TRAVELLER CHARACTER CREATION FOR FUDGE
Version 1

Character Race

Choose your characters race. Some races are region specific and may not be possible if that is not the setting for play.

The homeworld and region of your character will be either random, chosen, or assigned by the GM. It is not necessary to define a homeworld during character generation.

New Era Stellar Regions

If creating a New Era character decide on the Stellar Region your character comes from.

The Regency: An area of the Imperium which sealed itself off from the virus and retains most of the old technology.
Old Expanses: A human settled area which was never integrated into the Imperium. Since the collapse the Hivers have helped to restore much of the area. The Space Vikings originate from this area.
Pocket Empire: These are small coalitions of worlds which have managed to survive most of the effects of the collapse.
The Wilds: The majority of the Old Imperium now consists of wilds areas where technology and life were ravaged by the virus.

Some races are better or worse off in certain careers and so have career DM's for those careers.

-1 All rolls are one harder or, if this would make it impossible, can only be achieved every second time.

+1 All rolls are one easier, [-] always fails

ATTRIBUTES

To generate your characters attributes roll 3DF four times. Consult the table below and then assign the results to the attributes in any way you like.

+3	SUPERB
+2	GREAT
+1	GOOD
0	FAIR
-1	MEDIOCRE
-2	POOR
-3	TERRIBLE

If the average of the attributes is less than FAIR, or the racial average, then increase any of them until the average is reached.

Once you've done this you may raise any attribute if another is lowered by twice the same amount.

SOCIAL POINTS

Roll 4DF for starting number of Social Points.

Characters from the Imperium can receive noble ranks as their points rise.

At end of character generation final rank is taken as an Automatic Gift.

Social Points	Imperial Noble Rank	Other Settings
-5 or less	Auto (F) Low Social Status	Auto (F) Low Social Status
-4 to +4	-	-
5	Knight (Sir/Dame)	Auto (G) Social Status
6	Baron(ess)	"
7	Marquis/Marchioness	Auto (G) High Social Status
8	Count(ess)	"
9	Duke/Duchess	"

CAREER GENERATION

Choose a starting career whose requirements your character meets.

Roll 2D3 for the number of terms served. For each four year term go through the following steps.

Commission

If the career has a roll for commission and your character is not commissioned then roll for commission. If this roll is made then your character receives the lowest commissioned rank and now uses the commissioned category (if there is one) for skill selection in this career.

Promotion

If the career has a chance of promotion then roll for promotion. If the roll is made then your character receives all bonuses listed in the career.

Special Duty/Adventure

Roll to see if there is special duty or adventure this term. If the roll is made then gain a skill raise.

Gifts and Faults

Write down any automatic Gifts or Faults, and then choose one of the career Gifts.

If any contacts are received then the type must be selected if the career does not specify.

Possible types are: Academic, Business, Criminal, Entertainment, Journalist, Law Enforcement, Medical, Military, Specialist (Many types), Trader, or Wealthy. Others types of contacts may be allowed by the GM.

If the character is in the Regency or Imperium roll 4DF. On [+][+] or better the contact is also a Noble.

Write down any ship DMs chosen. If there is a choice of type of ship then decide which type the DMs will be taken in.

Income

Your character receives the income indicated for the career

Other Effects

Note down, and work through any other effects.

Ageing

If this is the fourth or later term then ageing rolls must be made.

Consult the ageing table and roll 1DF for each attribute indicated. On [-] drop the attribute by one, or take a related fault.

If as a result of ageing an attribute is reduced below TERRIBLE then an ageing crisis has occurred. Roll 4dF for [+] or better to avoid death, with modifiers for medical skill of attending medics. If the roll is made then character generation ends with this term and D6 months of medical treatment is needed before the attribute is raised back to TERRIBLE and the character may go adventuring.

Terms	Age(s)	STRENGTH	AGILITY	PERCEPTION	WILLPOWER
1-3	22,26,30	-	-	-	-
4-5	34,38	-	Y	-	-
6-7	42,46	Y	Y	-	-
8-11	50,54	Y	Y	-	Y
12+	58,62,etc	Y	Y	Y	Y

Anagathics

Each term your character may attempt to locate a supply of anagathics (anti-ageing drugs). After spending the current (or closest) terms money attempting to find a supplier a roll on 4DF may be made. A result of [+][+] or better means a supply is found. The roll is subject to the following modifiers for region.

Regency/Imperium -1 per Social Point above 4

Old Expanses -3

Pocket Empire -4

Wilds -5

If the roll is successful your character may continue character generation without having to roll for continuation, and two of this terms ageing rolls may be ignored. The characters apparent age will remain at the current level and the accumulated terms of anagathic use increases by one.

If the roll is unsuccessful and your character wasn't already on anagathics then there is no effect. If your character was on anagathics the previous term then twice the number of ageing rolls must be made this term. Apparent age will however not begin advancing again until the next term.

If the accumulated terms of usage is 15 or more then a roll must be made on the side effects table.

2DF	Side Effect	DM on future rolls
[-][-]	No effect	-
[-]	Minor growths	-
[ ]	Minor growths	+1
[+]	Major growths	+2

5[+]	Moderate psychological effects	+8
6[+]	Major psychological effects	+10
7[+]	Psychopathic behaviour	+12
DM's:	+1 per term of usage beyond the 15^th
	-1 per level of Medical above POOR of attending medics.

Skills

Look up the number of terms served on the table below. Your character receives the numbers, and levels, of skills as indicated. All of the career skills must be chosen, but the rest may any skills.

Choose the indicated number of skills at each level, all career skills must be chosen
