ABS12 Example Character Creation Steps 8 to 12

All the changes from this page will be added to the complete master game page at A Basic System 12 (ABS12).

8. An elf is a humanoid, which receives a beginning bonus of 0. A fighter description however receives a +1 to speed. This means that for the speed formula of Speed = 1 + EL (1) + speed bonus (+1 for fighter) it will result in a 1+1+1 speed equaling 3. The player records this number as the speed.

EL: 1

EP: 20
Life: 4
Def: 6
Dam: 1d12/3 LS
Speed: 3

Talents
Plate armor: 4
Longsword: 1d12/3 damage

9. Now that Batu's speed has been recorded, action speed is based on that number as well. Divide Speed by five and round up the number. Batu's action speed is 3 divided by 5 rounded up equals 1. This means that at the current EL, Batu will have one action per turn. At speed 6 which will come at 1+3 EL = EL 4, Batu will receive an additional action speed per turn. The player records that information.
