    Your race is a hardy one having survived the cataclysm and its aftermath

Reroll Options – Select ONE option

  • Change any one stat to 15
  • d4: add 1-4 to any one stat
  • -5: subtract 5 from any one stat to have one additional roll on the skills chart

Powers

  • One roll on the Modified Powers Chart: this power cannot be dropped (all players are metahumans)
  • Two rolls on the Skills chart
  • One roll on the Weakness chart: this roll can be dropped if the player also discards one of his Skills. Weaknesses will not be ‘fluff’, they will be required to have impact in the campaign (so nothing like ‘colorblind’ for reduced senses)

Character Points can be spent on the following options:

  • Weight: Plus or Minus 25 lbs.
