To open the Charactermancer, start by adding a brand new character and selecting “Create a PC Sheet.”  Once you do, a screen will appear asking you whether or not you want to use the Charactermancer. Simply click “Yes” to get started!

Structure

mceclip1.png

Each page of the Charatermancer is structured pretty simply:

  1. There are tabs on the top to quickly navigate between pages (Species, Skills, Review, etc.). 
  2. There are three buttons on the bottom for additional navigation within the Charactermancer:
    • “Opt Out” will allow you to exit the Charactermancer and discard your changes.
    • “Back to Top” will direct you back to the top of the current page.
    • “Next” will take you to the next page.

There are informational (i) buttons next to certain input fields and sections, which can be clicked to learn more about the associated input field or section.

Here are the available pages within the Charactermancer itself:

Welcome

When you open the Charactermancer, you'll be greeted with the Welcome Page (see above). This page introduces you to the Galaxy of Olaxis and the process of creating your character. 

Species

  1. Character Name
    • When naming your character, be sure to check out the details in the right-hand column. Each species has interesting and unique naming conventions. Of course, you are welcome to use or ignore any of these and name your character whatever you wish.
  1. Species
    • Select your choice of playable Olaxis species from a dropdown menu.
  1. Distinctions
    • If available, select a distinction from the dropdown menu. Only the Ino and Glean species have distinctions; they have no effect on your stats but are important to crafting your character's personality. 

Culture

  1. Borders
    • The border type decides how often your culture allows outsiders and visitors to the region. Each one gives different bonuses to your character.
  1. Density
    • The density of your culture will give you a specific perk.
  1. Diversity
    • Diversity indicates how many different species live and work together. Each type gives various bonuses.

    • +1 Any – Increase your dice size by this many points – taken from the “Any” and “+1” dice pools.
    • +1 This Skill type (Mental, Physical, or Social) – Increase your dice size by this many points – taken from the current skill pool.

    • This contains the number of dice you have, organized by size and skill category.
    • The “Any” category are dice that can be distributed to any skill by checking the Any box or using the +1 Any entries in the Skill Table (see above).
    • Every character will have allocations for larger-sided dice in specific categories.
    • If at any point you choose the wrong dice size or too many of a size, a negative number will populate in the category where you made the mistake.
    • Having negative or positive numbers in your points pool will prompt a warning should you try to go to the next category.
