Levels will be level 5.
Action Points - https://www.d20srd.org/srd/variant/adve ... Points.htm
Remember a big focus of this game will still be skills, stats, research, and contacts. Focus on those areas also.
NO RACIAL NEGATIVES- like -1 skills, speed, etc.
Trauma Patches- Negligible weight, brings downed characters (not above -10) to 1hp. Shock to system makes you conscious, and you are -2 to ALL rolls until real healing (Dr. treatment or time), not chemically healing.
Contacts- Keep your contacts, we will convert the rankings though to an easier to use format like a + table.
Progress Level- PL is 6 for the most part. Some 5, some 7. Its high end 6 for the most part.
Drones- All Mechs are banned, along with space ships. Custom specs for Drones and Shadowrun equiv's will need to be created, but Robotjox or MechWarrior, we are not going there. A cargo loader like in Aliens though, that's probably a thing.
Tech- Almost all the same genetic/Bioware and tech should be achievable. It may mean stat or skill boosts. If there is a D20 equiv convert directly. If something doesn't exist make a list and we will figure it out.
Classes- while there are quite a few, I have no problem making custom ones - to a point. Use the others as a template for progression, and mix and match skills or progression trees would make things easier.
Stats- Start with Base 8.
- Strength = Strength
Body = Con
Agility + Reaction /2 = Dex
Willpower + Intuition /2 = Wis
Logic = Intel
Charisma = Charisma
Add loyalty and connection score /2 = the '+' amount.
Ie 1 and 1= +2 bonus
Denote if contacts are family for special bonuses in game.
Magic-
Can be Int, Wis, or Cha based.
Edge- in works still
Edge and extra actions turn into a 1:1 plus to your AP total.
Sins and licenses-
Treat each level of sin or license as a +2 bonus. So if you have no sin its a +0 bonus.
Minimum SIN level to pass a basic police check automatically is level 2.
Item licenses need to be denoted if required or No.
