Sheet updated with relationships

This is probably as good time as any to warn you all my rolls are shit

Challenge accepted. Just today in a 3d20 roll LOW attempt I rolled a 17, 18, 20 to buy myself a resounding failure, with a bonus side of Complication.

This system is amazing for crappy rollers... it just get you more complications and drama. You literally can't go wrong.

Finally getting through character sheets.

@WritesNaughtyStories - Saha is all set for Step 1.

@Chiyako - Alicia needs to set her Distinctions to d4 to start, then you need to Step Up one of your Relationships or one of your Distinctions by 1 die size.

[IsabellaRose]

@AsBloodTurnsEverCold - Kojo needs to set his distinctions to d4 to start. You already have Kirsa listed as a Relationship, so you don't want to also list her as a Resource. Also, you need to Step Up one of your Relationships or your Distinction or Ability by 1 die size.

...and now I have to run off to an emergency dinner date. Some things require immediate attention.

I'm 99.9% sure that's a typo for Step 2., but what to clarify. It would not surprise me if I failed the "Fill Out Your Character Sheet Roll"

Sorry, I meant to say "Saha is all set WITH Step 1." I'm just trying to get all the sheets checked to make sure no one misses anything that will help them later.

Go. To. Dinner.

I think I did it correctly? I just need to figure out how the abilities part of her A Vampire by Rumor and Science works. I think I just list some in there? Or do I then need to create the same abilities in the Abilities section?

We just need to think of what kinds of abilities she gets because of her scientifically altered body. Does she have heightened senses? Extraordinary strength? An ability to blend into the shadows or somehow eerily step out of them at just the right moment? If there's something above and beyond normal humans that she can do because of this aspect of who she is, we define it, and list it as an "Ability" that can then be added later. Abilities are like super powers. She won't have all of them right out of the gate, and we can add more as we go given that our world isn't as defined as the DC Comics world the game was designed to emulate.

@WickedCadrach - Missy's Step 1 looks good and is complete.

@StarlitSiren - all you need to do for Millie is add the die rating (d4) to Tinkerer so it looks like this on the sheet:

Distinctions/Traits

d4 Tinkerer: Steam, brass, and clockwork are your passion. Roll when mechanical knowledge or invention is in your favor.
