Archtype Templates & Rules
Archtypes are used to help define the character. Archtypes are essetianlly the skill sets that a character has learned in their lives. Each character has a Primary Archtype (PA), this is their main archtype and it is the core of who the character is. Characters may also select a Secondary Archtype (SA), where the PA tells who/what the character is the SA defines the character even more. Either by focusing on a more specific area of their PA or another area completely, either as a hobby or other interest. Characters may purchase additional Secondary Archtypes either during the creation process or with XPs. To purchase an additional Secondary Archtypes cost +10 each. An Archtype Template consists of three things; Skills, Perks and Disadvantages. Perks and Disadvantages still cost the same, however, all skills in a characters Primary Archtype cost 1 for 1 and 1 point per +1. Skills in a Secondary Archtype can be purchased one of two ways. First, they can be bought for 1 point at 8- or 2 points for 9+(CHAR/5). It still costs 1 point per +1. Bonuses can only be added to skills that are based on 9+(CHAR/5). Therefore it would cost 2 points for a SA Skill at 8- to be raised +1. Skills bought out side either of the Archtype Packages are purchased normally. Existing Skills: When purchasing an SA and it contains skills already purchased by the character, they can not put any points into those skills with the purchasing points. They must only purchase new skills or perks. Knowledge, Professional and Science Skills:Knowledge Skills (KS) allow a character to know things but not do things. It is pure text book knowledge. Professional Skills (PS) allow a character to do things but not neccassarily know about what they're doing. Science Skills (SS) allows a character to not only know about things but do things. Science Skills are generally professional skills. e.g. KS: Electrical System means the character knows how the system works but couldn't repair it or install it. PS: Electrictian means that character knows how to install or repair the system but not exactly how it works. Having both the KS and the PS allows the character to know how the system works and install or repair the system. SS: Electrical Engineering is required to create or build the system and thus allows the character to know how it works and how to install or repair it. Complimentary KS or SS with a PS allows the character to use the best of the skills with no penalty and a +1 bonus. If a character has the KS, SS and PS for a specific area (i.e. Electrical) not only does the character get to use the best of the skills with no penalty they also receive +3 bonus. Knowledge, Professional and Science skills within an archtype cost .5 points for 11- on the skill or 1 point for 9+(INT/5). Purchasing a KS or SS with the proper PS at the same time makes both skills 9+(INT/5). Purchasing the proper KS, SS and PS at the same time for 2 point makes all three skills 9+(INT/5). While it is impossible to list all the varitions of KS, SS or PS that can be used within each archtype. A generalized list is given. Adding any type of skills to an archtype is subject to GM approval. REMEMBER! Skills such as SS: Medicine or KS: Ancient History apply to the characters homeworld only. If a Bethusian surgeon wants to operate on a Taith (someone from Taitha) they must have SS: Xenosurgery(Taith). To denote a skill based on another worldrace follow this format Xeno[skillname](Race). You can assign a whole Xeno race to a SA at the time of purchase making all the skills in that archtype based on that race.
