Character Types & the Core Book

Character Types & the Core Book

Connors 16 May 2016 00:04

Type is like Classs (in D&D).
You can choose your Type from either the Cypher System Core Rulebook (CSRB) or The Strange Core Book. (TSCB)

If you use the CSRB Types then you HAVE to add the info from the relevant Type (see match-ups below) regarding Translations. I am not even fussed if you 'combine' Types. ie If you are an Explore from the CSRB you can choose abilities from the Vector Type in TSCB.

Call yourself what you prefer too. Types are such collective names anyway.

Explorer = Vector
Warrior = Vector
Adept = Paradox
Speaker = Spinner

Re: Character Types & the Core Book - Features to Add

Okay, there are some key features from the Strange Types that ALL PCs need for the game, no matter which book you used to build your PC.

If you used Cypher System Core Rulebook Types to build your PCs to play in the Strange, then you need to ADD the following abilities to your PCs:

Explorer

Add the Translation ability from the Vector type (TSCR p26).

Warrior

Add the Translation ability from the Vector type (TSCR p26).

Adept

Add the Translation and Strange Training abilities from the Paradox type (TSCR p32).

Speaker

Add the Translation ability from the Spinner type (TSCR p39).

You do NOT start with other starting features of the Strange Types if you used the Cypher System Corebook to make your PCs, but you can choose new Tier features from either class. (With a GMs permission, you may also choose starting features with Tier 1 choices).

I hope this clears a little up. Whilst I am allowing some overlap and mixing of choices, you do NOT start with all starting features of both Types.
