 Character
haracter Creation
The process by which you create a
character is slightly different
rent from the
Fantasy Age core. The Attributes and the
list of Focuses are ported directly from the
World of Darkness skills. However the
rules are similar, even if their
ir names differ.
The steps are as follow:
1 - Create a Concept
Just like in the basic FAGE first
you choose who your character is. Choose a
Vice and
nd a Virtue, and determine your
Breaking Points.
2 - Attributes
You have 10 points to allocate
between the 9 attributes. Each start at 1 and
may go up to 3 at this point of the character
creation. See the following section for
details.
3 - Design Points
Instead of class or background you
have 6 Design Points to buy Focuses,
Talents or extra Attribute points.
4 - Equipment
You start with 4 items of your
Resource level. See the Equipment section
for details.
5 - Stats
Defense uses lowest of Dexterity or
Wits; Speed uses Strength, Health is 20 +
2x Stamina. Starting Integrity is 7.
Design Points
You
ou don't have to pick a
background or class. Instead you make
some basic concept choices and get a
5
number of Design Points to design your
character as you see fit.
Design Points are what provides
your starting adjustments. The freedom
players have to decide
de these traits is based
on the fact that in the modern world, you
really can learn just about anything you
wish to. For a normal game, players have 6
Design Points to work with. The Storyteller
may decide that your characters should be
made with a different nt number of points.
They should however help tell the
characters backstory.
Pts Pick
1 a new Focus
2 a Talent
3 ann Ability Increase
Advancement
Whenever you advance to a new
level, you can gain a Focus, an Ability
Advancement, or a Talent. Characters who
reach level 10 do not reach super-powerful
super
levels of competence. In keeping with the
genre, with heroes being fallibly human
even when extremely experienced, they
gain less whenever they gain a level.
Whenever a 10th level levels up she
may not advance a talent she already
possesses,, and also doesn't gain any extra
Health. With express game master
permission, an existing talent may be
advanced to Professional or Master degree.
On the other hand you can take an
Attribute focus you already possess an
additional time. Doing so increases the
bonus from +2 to +3.
Ver. 1.0: Creatures: The Something
Following versions of this
document will include conversion rules for
the various supernatural creatures of the
World of Darkness. For now you can only
create human characters.
 Attributes
As in the FAGE rules, you
character's capabilities are represented with
9 Attributes. They are classified
ified into three
categories - Mental, Physical and Social.
The Attributes are:
Composure (Social, Resistance)
Dexterity (Physical, Finesse)
Intelligence (Mental, Power)
Manipulation (Social, Finesse)
Presence (Social, Power)
Resolve (Mental, Resistance)
Stamina (Physical, Resistance)
Strength (Physical, Power)
Wits (Mental, Finesse)
Your characters Attributes start at
1 and you get 10 advancements to increase
them. Each advancement you spend raises
an ability by 1, but no ability can be greater
than 3 at this point. Design Points and
leveling up then modify these starting
ratings as normal, but never beyond 5.
Its possible for someone to have
more, but these individuals are typically
beyond the human ken, partially or fully a
part of the mysterious supernatural world.
6
Composure
Poise. Dignity. The capacity to
remain calm and appear -and actually be-
unfazed in social and threatening situations,
usually harrowing ones.
Compatibility: Composure stands for the
defensive uses of Willpower.
Willpower
Dexterity
Quickness. Response time. A
delicate touch. Dexterity indicates how
quickly and with how much finesse your
character responds to the world.
Speed: You use the lowest of your Strength
or Dexterity to calculate your Speed.
Intelligence
The raw power of the mind.
Cognitive capacity. The inherent capability
to digest, comprehend and remember
information - and to learn more.
Intelligence is a direct measure of how
smart your character is.
Manipulation
Charm. Persuasiveness. Charisma.
The capacity to play uponn the desires, hopes
and needs of others to influence them.
Manipulation reflects your characters
finesse in social situations. How well he
can appeal, gain the favor and generally
coerce others.
Compatibility: Manipulation stands for the
"finesse" uses off Communication.
Presence
Bearing. Stature. Assertiveness.
Presence suggests the power of your
characters very identity. Attractiveness is
only part of the trait. Your character may be
jaw-dropping
dropping gorgeous, plain-Jane
plain or
downright ugly, but her Presence
Presenc means
much more.
Compatibility: Presence stands for the
"power" uses of Communication.

Resolve
The focus and determination to see
your characters will done. The capacity to
stay on target, ignore distractions and to
resist coercion or browbeating. Resolve is
your characters mental fortitude. His
personal conviction. His clarity of vision.
vision

the uses of Willpower, specially related to
supernatural abilities and effects.
Stamina
Sturdiness. Steadfastness. Sheer
She
physical resilience. Stamina is a measure of
how tough your character is. It indicates
how far she can push her body, and how
much physical abuse she can endure.

the uses of Constitution.

Strength

power. The capacity to lift objects, move
items, hit things and people, and do

Encumbrance rules are used, your Carry
value in items is equal to your.
Speed: You use the lowest of your Strength
or Dexterity to calculate your Speed.
Wits
The ability to think on ones feet,
under pressure or duress, without letting
them see you sweat. Wits also en- en
compasses an eye for detail, the ability to
absorb whats going on in the environment,
and involves the powers of perception.
Compatibility: Wits stands for most of the
uses of Perception.
Defense: You use the lower of your
Dexterity or Wits to calculate your Defense.
 Focuses
Focuses work similar as they do in
the FAGE core. As previously mentioned,
even if their names are different their rules
are the same: A focus grants a +2 bonus to
a roll; +3 if the character buy it a second
time after 10th level.
Like Attributes, Skills are broken
down into three general categories, Mental,
Physical and Social, but unlike the
Storytelling system you don't have to
prioritize one over the other.
The Focuses on Age of Darkness
aren't linked to attributes as in AGE.
Instead the Storyteller tells you what to roll
in the typical way of the Storytelling system
(i.e. Intelligence + Academics or Dexterity
+ Athletics).
Note: Since Focuses aren't linked to
Attributes,, we recommend that Storytellers
understand the difference of Power, Finesse
and Resistance attributes in the WoD Core.
8
Languages
All characters begin knowing their
native language(s). Players can ask the GM
for additional languages (up to their
characters Intelligence score) that are
particularly pertinent to their concept.

 Rules
Ah rules. I have to admit that once I
had patience for complex rules and layers
of details, but these days I don't have it in
me anymore. That's the reason why we
converted to the AGE system but also the
design idea behind these converted rules.
I tried to keep to the spirit instead
of the letter of the rules, that's why there's
no permanent and temporary willpower, for
example, or why I didn't bother to convert
the fine details of all the Conditions. A
simple mechanic that fits the concept -the
"spend a dot of willpower" concept in the
former case and the "you suffer a setback"
concept on the former- works just fine.
Keep that in mind when using these rules.
Automatic Fire
To represent the essentially
different and deadly nature of automatic
firearms, add the following to the list of
possible combat Stunts.
Automatic Fire (2 SP): You make a
second attack with an automatic firearm
against the same enemy or a different one
within range and sight. You must have a
loaded automatic firearm to make this
attack.. If you roll doubles on this second
attack
ack roll, you do not get any additional
stunt points.
Conditions
nWoD 2nd edition (a.k.a.
Chronicles of Darkness) makes use of
Conditions in place of the old Flaws
system. To simplify the mechanics,
whenever a condition would give a setback
you apply a -22 penalty, and when it would
give a bonus you give a +2 bonus.
Converting Tests
18
With these rules you can translate
most tests and situations directly from the
WoD books to AGE. An Attribute + Skill
test becomes an Attribute + Focus test. An
Attribute + Attribute test (like Resolve +
Composure) becomes a test of the lowest
one the two. Use the following guidelines
for other tests and pools.
8-9-10 again
Situations that remove the 10-again
10
rule should give a -22 to the test. 9-again
9
adds +2, and 8-again adds dds +4, a virtual
success on most cases.
Bonuses and Penalties
When converting situations not
covered by the AGE rules convert bonuses
and penalties on a 1-11 basis.
Conditional modifiers, those caused
by situations and not by the action should
give a minus
nus or plus to the test.
Innate modifiers, those that come
from the nature of the test itself should set
the TN using the guidelines in the AGE
rules.
The Old World of Darkness had
Difficulty standardized at 6.6 So as a quick
and dirty conversion consider Dif 5 as TN
9, 6 as TN 11, 7 as TN 13, 8 as TN 15, 9 as
TN 17 and 10 as TN 19.
Dots to AGE
When converting creatures, abilities
or merits, convert stats on a 1-1
1 basis. Skills
at 2 or more dots should be a focus, and
skills at 5 should have a second focus.
foc
Merits are more complicated, Novice levels
should be equal to 1-22 dots, Journeyman 3-
3
4 and Master 5 and "strong" 4s. The powers
of supernatural creatures work similar to
Arcanas; the Novice level should be both
the 1 and 2 dot powers, the Journeyman the
th
most iconic between 3 or 4 and the Master
level should be the 5 dot power.
Multiple Success
Multiple successes of simple tests
are already covered by the Stunt Die. For
WoD's extended tests treat them as AGE's
advanced tests. The Advanced Tests table
should
hould give you a guideline for the success
threshold a given task should have, but as a
quick and dirty rule double the number of
successes needed in the WoD rules.
Injuries
The Injuries mechanic is adapted
from the The Esoterica from Thedas Vol. 1.
Whenever the character suffers more
damage than his Shock value (1/3 initial
health + Stamina) he also suffers an Injury.
The attack has struck in just the right way
so as to produce a debilitating wound.
wound
To determine which Injury the
target has suffered, you can either roll on
the following table and apply the result. A
character can only ever receive one of each
type of Injury, if they roll or pick one they
already have, roll or pick again until they
have received one they dont have.
have
Injuries heal over time. The
recovery process can also be aided by
experienced healers and magic to repair
them faster. In order to be eligible to
Recover Injuries a character must have had
a full nights rest. This effectively sets the
healing Threshold of each Injury at one day
per test.
Recovering from Injuries is an
Advanced Stamina test with a TN of 9 + 2x
the number of injuries the CharacterChara
possesses.. Light injuries have a success
threshold of 10, Serious injuries have a
threshold of 15. You must heal each Injury
separately, and you can choose to which
injury each daily test applies to.
A Medicine test may be attempted
in place of the Stamina test instead, by the
character or someone else. You may use
supernatural healing in addition to a normal
Heal test, effectively providing two healing
attempts per day. Treat
reat the Casting Roll as
a Recover roll for a single Injury suffered
by the target.

Recovering from Injuries

19
Hospitalized
You will notice that there a
character sustaining multiple injuries might
have a TN too high for normal success to be
possible.. In this instance they are obviously
in a very bad shape and need total bed rest
in order to recover.
After 5 days of complete Bed Rest
you receive 5 successes to apply to the
Success Threshold of any injuries as you
see fit. In time this may bring the TNT back
to sane levels, although most hospitals
won't release a patient until he is fully
healed, and this level of injury might raise
suspicion from the authorities.
Integrity
Taken directly from the free God
Machine Rules Update, "Integrity
Integrity measures
how well a character can cope with the
traumatic and supernatural events of his
life". We find that this aspect of the
character is essential to the mood, so we'll
reproduce some of the text from the free
God Machine Rules Update.
Integrity
rity is a new value in your
character sheet. Most characters
start with 7 Integrity and go down from
there. With the Storyteller permission you
may buy Integrity when you level up, but
only after undergoing some kind of
treatment or deeply comforting forting personal
pers
experience.
Your Integrity score gives you a
modifier that is added to Breaking Point
Rolls,, to resist fear, horror and supernatural
abilities and occurrences.

The character gains Willpower.
Determining Breaking
ing Points
To create your breaking points,
during
uring character creation, the player should
answer the following five questions. Each
question provides a breaking point for the
character. If, during the character creation
process, additional breaking points become
apparent to the player, add
them to thee list. Theres no limit to how
many breaking points a character can have.
-What
What is the worst thing your
character has ever done? This doesnt have
to be anything dastardly. Whats important
here is to consider something that your
character did that made him hate himself.
The superlative worst is something that
the character would apply.
What is the worst thing your
-What
character can imagine himself doing? We
imagine ourselves in various scenarios to
test our own self-image image against
aga
hypothetical situation. What can you can
character reason-ably
ably see himself doing, but
still know that it would be wrong?
-What
What is the worst thing your
character can imagine someone else
doing? Of course, we all know that people
are capable of some hideous atrocities.
What topss your characters list? If your
character is extremely sheltered or
misanthropic, he might have a skewed
view, here; he might hang on to some lofty,
cerebral notion of dishonor or betrayal
as the nadir of human behavior.
behavior
-What
What has the character forgotten?
In the World of Darkness, its next to
impossible to grow up without any
exposure to the supernatural. Decide what
your character saw and forgot. Describe this
scene in as much detail as you can. This is a
breaking point that already occurred, but b it
helps set a benchmark for what your
character would have to see in order to
experience one now.
What is the most traumatic thing
-What
that has ever happened to the character?
No one goes through life with no trauma.
The goal here, again, isnt to make a
traumatized character. Its to set a bar.
Power Points
"Power Point" is the generic term to
refer to points used to fuel, well, powers.
Supernatural characters have a reserve
according to its supernatural template.
The Power Point reserve of Mystics
works
rks similarly to Magic Points from the
a AGE rules, except that it doesn't refresh
automatically. A mystic must meditate,
drain energy from loci or other mystical
actions determined by the Storyteller to
regain 5 + Resolve power points.

Optional Rules
Advantage / Disadvantage
In our group we are fond of the
Advantage/Disadvantage mechanic. Instead
of giving a +/-2, 2, conditions give you
Advantage or Disadvantage. You may also
use this rule in place of modifiers for the 8-
8 In our group we use a simplified
9-10 rules.
When you have Advantage to a test
you roll an extra colored die. After rolling
the four you remove the lowest one
(colored or not), and use the highest of the
colored ones as your Stunt Die.
When you have Disadvantage to a
test you do the same, but you remove the
highest one and use the lowest of the
colored dice as your Stunt Die.
Dynamic Ammo and Charges
We find that in most settings
counting units of expendable resources isn't
exactly our vision of fun or interesting, and
so we use the following rule on most of our
games, horror or not.
Items counted by units,
units like ammo
but also medical supplies, lockpicks or even
units of food or water,, don't have units
anymore. Instead each unit on your
character sheet is a "charge". A charge is a
generic non-specified
specified amount good for
some uses.
Whenever you make a test that can
use said charges and you roll a 1 on the
Stunt Die you spend a charge. It doesn't
matter if the action was successful or not, at
the end of the action the charge is spent and
you may erase it from your character sheet.
In the case of missile weapons each
turn of attack represents an ideal number of
discharges and maybe
aybe quick reloads instead
of a single shot per attack. When you
finally spend a charge your weapon is not
loaded anymore, and you must spend the
appropriate action to reload it. That is
finding new clips, switching quivers, etc.
Any attack has a chance tot spend a
unit of ammo, even ones gained from
24
stunts. Because of that users of weapons
with expensive ammo might prefer well-
placed shots (Mighty Blow and Lethal
well
Blow) instead of bursts or double taps
(Automatic Fire and Lightning Attack).
Note: The equipment
ment list is made
with this rule.

Fatigue
Fatigue is adapted from The
Esoterica from Thedas Vol. 1. Fatigue
damage is similar to normal damage, but
should be noted apart because it heals
differently.
The only way to reduce Fatigue is
through sleep or over time with no
strenuous activity. Healing, magical or
mundane, cannot remove Fatigue. A
character
racter removes a number of Fatigue
points equal to their Constitution during a
Breather. An unconscious character will
only heal fatigue after a long rest.
Characters suffer Fatigue from
continual exertion. An example might be a
forced march to reach a destination
de more
quickly. Obviously a forced march through
snow will be more fatiguing than a forced
march through green fields. Storytellers can
also use Fatigue damage to represent the
inclement weather, thirst, famine or even
disease that is present in mayy works of the
horror genre.
