CHARACTER CREATION: Creating a character in RoH is fairly straight forward. The first thing you need to do is print of a character sheet. You can find a character sheet here (make sure your printer's margins are set as small as possible under print options, before printing, or else the sheet won't fit correctly ). Once you have your character sheet in hand, find a standard set of role-playing dice. You will need a d4,d6,d8,d10,d12,d20 and a percentile dice (00) if possible. Also certain RoH game masters (SM's) will require players to use a d30 as well. More dice you have on hand, the better! Next, find a pencil and an eraser.

On The SheetCharacter Info; Alter-Ego: This is your superhero/villain's name. The name is usually reflective of your character's special abilities and/or powers but doesn't have to be. Real Name: Your character's real name is his/her name before they gained super powers and/or special talents, abilities etc. The name they go by when hiding their alter-ego. Allegiance: The character's main occupation, either a Superhero, Super villain or Super Independent (See step 2 for detailed information). Virtue: The character's alignment. His/her personal convictions and values in life (See step 5 for detailed information). Race: In RoH you can be either Human, Mutant or Alien (See step 1 for detailed information). Group Affiliation: If the character is a member of a super group, gang etc, this is the place to list it. Personal Profile; For the most part everything under the character's profile is self explanatory, however IQ, Luck, Alc%, SB/L and N-R% are all explained under step 7 of our official guide. Attributes/Bonuses and Penalties; Like most other RPG's RoH has a full cast of core ability scores. These attributes are constantly used throughout the game and all of them must be rolled using six-six sided dice (6d6). Each stat is rolled in order from top to bottom and recorded on the sheet as presented. No re-rolls or substitutions are allowed. Any roll that exceeds "peak human ability" (24), allows the stat to be re-rolled using a % Dice (1d100) and provides the character with a "Super Attribute". The roll must exceed the initial roll of 24 and cannot exceed 100 including any bonuses due to advantages, skills etc. All attribute bonuses/penalties can be filled out as well. (See step 4 for detailed information). Langs: Here you can fill out any languages the character can speak, write etc. Armor Rating; The character's total AR is recorded here. Armor rating is determined by the character's natural AC (if any) + their AGL

bonus, + any armor they may be wearing at the time. (See in game armors for examples). Hit-Points; In RoH everyone and everything has a set of hit points or number of damage points it can take before being killed or destroyed. For the sake of character creation one must roll their Hit-Dice (HD) and record it on their sheet under this box. In RoH all HD are the same, each race uses a d12 for determining their hit-points. Some character's may have as little as 2 hit points to start, while other may have 12 or more, especially if skill credits (S.C.) are used to increase initial HD. (See step 7 for detailed information on increasing HD using S.C). Concealment Class; Concealment Class or CC is a character's ability to conceal themselves in day or night hours. Under normal circumstances everyone has a CC of 5/6. The 5 being the day check, while the 6 being the night check. These numbers can be increased or decreased according to each situation or by camouflage etc. (See combat terms for detailed information). Experience; XP Earned: The total experience earned by this character. XP Needed: The total experience required to attain the next level. Level: The character's current level. Rank: The character's rank (if any) amongst various organizations (military, law enforcement etc). Combat Bonuses and Skills; Your character may possess some or allot of this categories options. Everyone can punch, kick, jump kick etc, but those trained in martial arts have most of these abilities if not all of them. For the sake of basic hand-to-hand combat in RoH, fill in at least the punch and kick slots. Both of which cause 2 damage per attack scored. Other can be filled out when appropriate. (See combat terms for detailed information). Attacks/Melee; Everyone in RoH has a minimum of 1 attack per combat round. Atks/Rnd can be increased according to the character's CS attribute bonus. (See step 4 for information on C-S bonuses ).

If all else fails, follow steps 1 through 10 on our main menu and you should be well on your way to completing a character. You should also read the combat terms, other terms and optional rules sections as well. This will not only help you understand the game's terminology better, it will open allot of in-game options to you as well. * NOTE* Not all of the steps are in order, or even required. Some steps simply offer explanations, but all of the steps are important to game-play. If you have any problems creating a character or any questions about the game. Sign-up for our forums and post under the appropriate topic and I'll be glad to help. Enjoy the game!

CHARACTER RACE SELECTIONSTEP 1: CHOOSING THE CHARACTER'S RACE A player may choose from the following; Human Mutant Alien

Humans (Mutate) Playing a human in the best of times can be a challenge, even if they have super powers. In RoH humans are still the dominant race on the planet as the game is generally portrayed to take place on a futuristic version of earth. Super Humans or sometimes referred to as mutates, tend to look and act no different then normal humans, making every attempt to hide their super identities from the growing populace. Those who do not conceal their secret identities tend to become targets for elimination due to a natural fear developed by their fellow humans or through direct assault by their super villain foes. It should also be noted that humans are also the most widely excepted of the races, meaning that they acquire jobs and make contacts with the least amount of difficulty. Acquiring a job or some sort of employment may be imperative to the character's survival. Humans gain the following bonuses at creation. Human Creation Bonuses/Penalties Gain 1 bonus "Peak Human Power" (to be rolled randomly) The starting skills advantage: The player can raise 1 of his/her characters starting skills up 10 levels or raise a few skills up several levels (this option is left open to the player). Human Characteristics Minimum Starting Age: 16 Maximum Life Expectancy: 6D20 in years Hit Die: 1D12 (automatic 12 on initial roll) Armor Rating: 0 (natural AR) Concealment Class: 5 Day / 6 Night Initial Skill Credits: 1D10 + All bonuses Advantages: Randomly chosen by the player (using skill credits) Disadvantages: Randomly rolled by the player (optional)

Mutants A mutant is an individual who possesses a rare genetic gene that allows them to naturally develop superhuman powers and abilities. Mutants are members of the species Homo Superior, an evolutionary progeny of Homo sapiens, and are considered

the next stage in human evolution. All mutants have a genetic mutation that causes their bodies to develop abilities that regular humans cannot. The majority of mutants develop these abilities, which vary from person to person, usually upon puberty, though there are some mutants who display powers and/or physical mutations from birth, or in their twenties. Some mutants even display abilities from within the womb and posthumously. As required to be a species, mutants are both definitely distinguishable by their DNA and by definition cannot be only part or half mutant, as one either has the mutant gene or does not. Also, their mutation was not induced by their location or external environment, as it's well known that mutants are found throughout the world and their powers have no direct casual relationship to pollution, radiation or the like. Mutant powers vary seemingly without limit. Examples of powers shared by many individuals include telepathy; telekinesis; flight; the ability to project energy, accelerated healing; and enhanced physical strength, agility, or senses; all to variable limits. Mutation can also entail a minor to radical alteration in physical appearance from the human norm - wings, gills, a tail, fur, altered skin color, etc. Mutant powers can grow and increase as the mutant grows and develops. Some powers remain latent until activated by severe stress, or remain unnoticed throughout the person's lifetime, while others are apparent immediately from birth. Some individuals have a secondary mutation which activates in adulthood. For some mutants, several years of self-discipline are needed before they can control their powers, while others never gain full control of their powers. Playing a mutant can be a challenge in more then one way, but if one keeps a low profile in normal society and maintains a secret dwelling or base of operation life can be good. All things fair, a mutant is perhaps the most universal character one can play. Mutant Creation Bonuses/Penalties Gain 1 bonus "Mundane Super Power" (to be rolled randomly) Mutant Characteristics Minimum Starting Age: 16 Maximum Life Expectancy: 4D20 in years Hit Die: 1D12 (automatic 12 on initial roll) Armor Rating: 0 (natural AR) Concealment Class: 5 Day / 6 Night Initial Skill Credits: 1D8 + All bonuses Advantages: Randomly chosen by the player (using skill credits) Disadvantages: Randomly rolled by the player (optional)

Aliens Aliens are life forms that derive beyond Earth or its atmosphere and have come to Earth either forcibly or voluntarily. Aliens do not necessarily look that indifferent from that of humans, however most alien races vary in physical appearance greatly and stand out amongst all others. That decision is left up to the player creating the character and can be one of the most exciting super beings to create while playing RoH. When playing an Alien superhero or super villain in RoH keep in mind they are from

another planet and the character, no matter what they look like will have odd idiosyncrasies that just don't blend well within human societies. For example, the way they walk, the way they talk, the way they think or perhaps something else that may give away their true origin. The SM should enforce this, as it may be the Alien characters only real disadvantage. In general Alien characters are stronger and smarter then human characters as their technology, ability to travel through space and vastly different planetary systems obviously allow for such corresponding feats. These qualities may also be easily recognized and give away their identities. Players are strongly encouraged to protect their secrets at all costs as once their identities are discovered even the most powerful of superhero's/villains can be conquered and presumably will be destroyed. Alien Creation Bonuses/Penalties +4 to initial R-P score +4 to initial MEN score Loss of ALL initial money Alien Characteristics Minimum Starting Age: 20 Maximum Life Expectancy: 8D20 in years Hit Die: 1D12 (automatic 12 on initial roll) Armor Rating: 0 (natural AR) Concealment Class: 5 Day / 6 Night Initial Skill Credits: 1D6 + All bonuses Advantages: Randomly chosen by the player (using skill credits) Disadvantages: Randomly rolled by the player (optional)

ALLEGIANCESTEP 2: CHOOSING YOUR ALLEGIANCE Each character must choose to either be a Super Hero, a Super Villain or an Super Independent in RoH.

Super Hero As a superhero in RoH you are a character of unprecedented powers, dedicated to acts of derring-do in the public interest. You are the prototypical good guy or perhaps good gal. You stand for what's right and go must go out of your way to protect humanity and/or the well being of others. However there are many types of super heroes and their abilities and personal demeanor can make each individual's priorities vary greatly. Virtue Restrictions: Any Good Cash Savings: 5D10 x 100 Monetary Income: By occupation *See STEP 3 for occupation details.

Super Villain As a super villain in RoH you are typically a character of vast ability, superior intelligence and/or a mastermind in criminal behavior. Super villains often mirror their superhero counterparts in their powers, capabilities, or origins, yet use their powers for selfish or diabolical purposes. You stand for injustice, death and destruction. Your mainstay life is to foil super heroes, destroy anyone or anything that gets in between you and your goals. Like superhero's, their are all different personalities involved when encountering a super villain and their personal agenda's can vary as much as anyone. Virtue Restrictions: Any Evil Cash Savings: 5D10 x 100 Monetary Income: By occupation.

*See STEP 3 for occupation details.

Super Independent As a super independent in RoH you are much the same as a super hero or super villain. Your character's abilities, powers, skills and origin can match that of anyone, yet your personal agenda is generally selfish. You stand for everything being equal, every man for themselves and a do what needs to be done mentality. Your goals in life are simple, help yourself and try not to attract to much attention while doing it... well unless you don't care. Virtue Restrictions: Any Selfish Cash Savings: 5D10 x 100 Monetary Income: By occupation. *See STEP 3 for occupation details.

[STEP 0]-[STEP 1]-[STEP 2]-[STEP 3]-[STEP 4]-[STEP 5]-[STEP 6/7]-[STEP 8]-[STEP 9]-[STEP 10]

OCCUPATIONIn RoH all character's need an alter-ego, with that said, they also need a job to help conceal their true identities. There are quite literally thousands of occupations in RoH so the following chart can be used to simplify the characters general monthly income according to one of four employment categories.

STEP 3: DETERMINING YOUR OCCUPATION

Roll 0-20 21-50 51-90 91-00

Job Level Low Level Job Mid Level Job High Level Job Luxury Level Job

Monthly Income $1500 / month $2500 / month $4000 / month $7500 / month

* NOTE* Players may choose an appropriate occupation accordingly. Eg: A High Level job could be an accountant or a technical engineer, while a low level job might be a janitor or shoe salesmen. SM's reserve the right to accept or decline the player's choice.

Movement Rate (M-R) Total Score

This is determined by the exact M-R of the character. Eg. A 12 is rolled, this means the characters walk is 12 his jog is 24 and his run is 60 This would be the characters maximum walking, jogging and running distance in 10 seconds. * NOTE* all M-R distances are in yards ''

STEP 4: THE 10 ATTRIBUTES Raw Power (R-P) - indicates the sheer, brute, physical strength of the character. Weight Capacity (WC) is determined by the character's R-P score. WC is different for each race, refer to the following chart. *NOTE * this is the character's maximum weight he/she can lift to chest height or the amount of total weight in equipment a character can pack. Humans: R-P x 100 Mutants: R-P x 100 Aliens: R-P x 150 *NOTE* maximum weight a character can lift above one's head is determined by cutting the character's WC in half. Energy Potential (E-P) - is a measure of a character's maximum energy output. Maximum Aura Radius (M.A.R.) indicates the maximum distance a hero/villain can extend their personal auras if they have one at all. While Power Points are the total number of energy units the character can expend each day. Each power consumes different amounts of power ( see the super powers list for details ). Weapon Skill (W-S) - indicates the character's general knowledge and capability of handling firearms. Combat Skill (C-S) - This indicates the character's general knowledge of combat tactics, and procedures to act on, such as what cover to jump behind when being shot at. This also indicates the character's potential skill when engaged in combat actions and/or general ability when attacking. Agility (AGL) - Indicates the character's flexibility and dexterity, when engaged in combat or not. This increases a character's AR due to the chance and/or last seconds reactions of being hit. *NOTE* No dodge roll is ever made when in combat, AR is cumulative with a character's general ability to dodge. (exception hand to hand tactics used in melee attacks). Stamina (STA) - This is the total degree of the character's endurance, stability and durability all rolled into one. This indicates the bonus to the character's hit die and shows the chance of effective resistance against all intoxications, narcotics and sudden paralyzing effects. The SM may elect to use the following for reference. Running full speed = STA divided by 3 in minutes Packing maximum WC = STA times 4 in minutes Continuous fighting = STA in minutes SM may modify or add others to this list Mentality (MEN) - This is a measure of the character's mental aptitude and general intelligence. This is also the character's general ability in attaining knowledge. This accounts for the character's starting languages and initial skill credits. Players may select languages from the following list. Common World Languages: ( SM may choose to add more) English - Includes all English slang's and dialects African - Includes all native African languages etc. * NOTE * Mentality is not IQ as it does not account for common sense, however it does apply a bonus to a characters initial IQ roll. French Spanish Russian Punjabi German Chinese

Japanese Native - Includes all native Indian dialects Polish Norwegian Vietnamese Korean Finish Droidish (Bosh) - Includes all robotics languages Galthorian - Includes all Galthorian dialects Latin Physical Appearance (P-A) - This indicates the character's general outer physical appearance, thus giving a bonus or penalty towards initial reactions. P-A also gives a bonus or penalty towards a characters social standing.

MONEY, ALC%, N-R%, IQ, SB/L & LUCKSTEP 6: MONEY The following currency is used throughout the world of Warfare: Thousands, Hundreds, Fifties, Twenties, Tens, Fives, and One dollar bills. A character starts with the selected Allegiance cash savings + any secondary occupation monthly income (determined in STEP 3). Each level beyond the first level, the character only receives their monthly income.

STEP 7: Determining Alcohol Consumption (Alc%)/Narcotic Resistance (N-R%), Intelligence Quotient (IQ), Skill Bonus Per Level (SB/L) and Luck. Alcohol Consumption/Narcotic Resistance Alcohol Consumption and Narcotic resistance are determined by rolling a simple percentage die (% die). This indicates the character's ability to consume alcohol and resist the effects of drugs. Intelligence Quotient Intelligence Quotient is determined by rolling two percentage dies and adding their total together, then by adding the character's total MEN score you acquire the character's total I.Q%. * NOTE* If a roll of 00 is indicated the character receives an additional percentage die (400 IQ is the maximum for any character.) Skill Bonus Per Level (SB/L) is determined by referring to a character total IQ score. And then by referring to the following table.

IQ Score 02% - 25% 26% - 50% 51% - 108% 109% - 119% 120% - 140% 141% - 250% 251% - 300% 301% - 350% 351% - 399% 400% - max. * NOTE* SB/L is used for additional skills beyond first level.

Rating Mentally incompetent Low Below average Average Above average High Genius Supra-Genius God Like Omniscient

Skill Bonus Per Level (SB/L) nil nil 1 2 5 6 7 8 9 10

Skill Bonus Per Level (SB/L) SB/L is determined by the characters IQ (see Intelligence Quotient), after one has determined the characters SB/L they can use the following options/benefits. *NOTE* SB/L can only be used after the character progresses to 2nd level, and each level beyond that point. Initial Skill Credits (S.C.) are determined by adding the character's MENTALITY bonus and their starting racial skill credits together. Eg. 18 MEN = 3 S.C. + the character initial S.C. roll. Skill Credits (S.C.) are used to give the character a variety of skills and talents needed to survive the harsh world of RoH. Skill Credits can be used in the following 7 different ways: 1.) Using Skill Credits for Additional Skills; One S.C. will give the character 1 credit to use towards acquiring any skill he/she wishes or 1 Weapon proficiency. *NOTE* some skills require more than 1 credit. Eg. Technician requires 3 S.C. to be taken as a skill. 2.) Using Skill Credits To Increase Attributes ; 2 S.C. enables a character to increase any attribute by one point, except for a character's mentality attribute. A character's (MEN) score remains the same throughout the game with the exception of intoxicated periods. 3.) Using Skill Credits To Increase Luck; All Player character starts with one luck point, if they choose to increase this, they must use one S.C. for every additional luck. (see luck for a more detailed description) 4.) Using Skill Credits For Extra Money; This will enable a character to start with an additional $1000 for every S.C. used. 5.) Using Skill Credits To Increase Initial Hit-Dice ; 2 S.C. enables the character to increase his/her Hit-Dice by one. Eg: 2 S.C. could be used to make a level 1 PC, level 2 instead (rolling 2d12's for hit-points). In-turn using 4 S.C. would allow the PC to start at level 3 etc. 6.) Using Skill Credits To Increase Skill Level ; One S.C. enables a character to increase an ability one level higher than the initial base mastery. This may be increased more than once as long as the SM allows the decision. 7.) Using Skill Credits To Buy Advantages; The amount of S.C. spent on an advantage depends on each specific advantage. Great advantages cost allot and minor advantages costing few (see advantages for details). * NOTE* disadvantages can be taken to increase a characters S.C. points but disadvantages are always randomly rolled. *CRITICAL NOTE* All of these types of skill credit uses, except for attaining additional skills, can only be used at the very beginning of the game. Before the game session begins and NOT after the game session is over.

Luck Luck separates player character's from non-player characters. This is the difference between heroes and the rest of the population. Each point of luck can buy a new die roll during a game with the following limitations: a player can only re-roll one die at any one time, the number of re-rolls per game is equal to the character's starting luck.

* NOTE* Each luck point can only be used once per game session. LUCK use is simple, Say for example Leonard needs a 9 or higher on a hit roll to strike his opponent with a bat. He rolls a 7. Using 1 luck point, using the same weapon, he rolls again rolling a 15. He hits. When luck points are used they are only gone until the end of the game session.
