Endurance “Body” Playtest – Version 1.0

Effective Dates:

January 1, 2021 – December 31, 2021. This is an optional playtest for Local NERO Chapters and is NOT mandatory.

Forward:

This playtest is an attempt to diversify playstyles while allowing players to build “tank” characters. This will also give an option to the fighter class to reduce damage profs

Objective:

Allow players to diversity, regardless of level. Allowing lower level character to be tanker early on if they so desire.

Example: Zain is a new player, he is playing a human (strong) fighter. He spends his build as follow:

One handed Blunt, Mighty Slay, Strong Arm, Endurance x9

Zain comes into the game as a starting character swinging 4’s (with latex weapon), but he now has 33 body points (instead of 15). Zain builds a more tanker character instead of damage delivery. 

Requirements:

Purchase Endurance Skill –  Build Cost – 3 (Across all classes) = +2 to body.  

Summary:

Players can purchase the “Endurance Skill” adding +2 to their total body. This body is reflected on the Character Sheet as Craftsman Other (Endurance) and adds 2 body points per time purchased.

Playtest Challenges:

Scaling could pose an issue, as high level characters could just drop build into the skill.
