Here's the character creation guide. We don't use armor in this version of ZH.

Stats
HP: Health Points
MP: Magic Power

STR: Strength - Boosts your attack strength from physical attacks.
INT: Intelligence - Boosts your attack strength from magical attacks.
SPD: Speed - Determines initiative, travel time and flee ability.

If you want to tweak anything for your character, so long as it won't break the game, let me know and it'll probably happen. Have fun guys. Smile
=============================================

Race

Human

Default Stats:
HP: 15, MP: 15, STR: 10, INT: 10, SPD: 10

Racial Perks:
Weapon Proficiency: Firearms – Able to equip guns.

Racial Weaknesses:
None

Humans have no particular weaknesses or strengths but they are susceptible to most afflictions. They are the only race that can use standard firearms.

-------------------------------------

Vampire

Default Stats:
HP: 20, MP: 20, STR: 15, INT: 15, SPD: 15

Racial Perks:
Arcane Literacy – Can learn magic.
Telepathy – Able to read minds (Roll Check required).
Bat Form – Cannot attack but able to fly. If Bat Form is attacked you will return to normal.

Racial Weaknesses:
Fire, Garlic, Holy weapons deal double damage.
Phobia: Sunlight – You cannot be out in the daylight for too long or you will slowly die.
Phobia: Talismans – Symbols of faith can be used to Turn you.

Vampires have many strengths but many weaknesses as well. There are tons of ways to kill a Vampire, but they have innate Telepathy to aide them as well as a Bat Form. They are also one of two races to naturally learn magic.

---------------------------------------

Werewolf

Default Stats:
HP: 30, MP: 0, STR: 20, INT: 10, SPD: 15

Racial Perks:
Wolf Form – Cannot attack with weapons, but fangs and claw attacks deal 1d20. SPD is doubled.
Beast Form – Cannot attack with weapons, but fangs and claw attacks deal 1d20. STR is doubled.

Racial Weaknesses:
Silver, Garlic weapons will deal double damage.
Arcane Illiteracy – Can never learn magic.

Werewolves are humans that have been bitten by an Alpha to become a part human, part wolf. While human in appearance they are tougher than the standard breed and can become either a pure wolf or a beastly half-form. While their only weaknesses are Silver and Garlic, Werewolves cannot learn magic.

-------------------------------------------------------

Half-Demon

Default Stats:
HP: 20, MP: 30, STR: 10, INT: 20, SPD: 10

Racial Perks:
Arcane Literacy – Can learn magic.
Telepathy – Can read minds (Roll check required).
Winged Form – Can glide short distances.

Racial Weaknesses:
Holy weapons deal double damage.
Phobia: Talismans – Symbols of faith can be used to Turn you.

Demons are not terribly common in the world but when they do appear and breed you are what results. You have some demonic blessings and curses. You are able to naturally learn magic and read minds through Telepathy, as well as use a Winged Form to glide (but not truly fly). However Holy weapons and religious iconography can harm you.

----------------------------------------------------------

Zombie Overmind

Default Stats:
HP: 10, MP: 20, STR: 10, INT: 20, SPD: 20

Racial Perks:
Summon Horde – Summon a small horde of zombies which have minimal HP and STR to aide you.
Reassemble – You get knocked down, but you get up again. They're never gonna keep you down.

Racial Weaknesses:
Fire weapons deal double damage.

Zombie Overminds are Zombies who have retained a bit of their humanity and have used their free will and intelligence to rule as the undead. You are not particularly strong, but you are basically immortal, able to slowly reassemble themselves once killed (though you will be out of action for a while). You can also summon a horde of zombie cannon fodder to aide you in combat or be a distraction. That said, as a zombie you are very weak and fire of any kind is your bane. Also being shot in the head, but really that's the same as humans so...


===============================================

Perks & Weaknesses

Beyond you Racial Perks & Weaknesses, you may choose two additional Perks. You may also choose up to two more perks if you select some Weaknesses as well (one per additional perk).


Perks

Arcane Literacy – Can learn magic. (Werewolves cannot choose this.)

Athletic – Can run without tiring (+10 SPD value).

Spiritual – Naturally in tune magically. (+15 MP)

Steel Nerves – No roll penalties from facing an unknown challenge or surprise attacks.
Electrician – Electrical systems, security checks, lights, you know it all.
Hacker – Computer skills are your specialty.
Hippie – You are at tune with nature man. (No roll penalties when in the woods or other natural areas).
Keen Senses – You have a mild second sight, able to sense things around you.

---------------------------------------

Weaknesses

Phobia: Water – You are afraid of the water and cannot cross it.
Phobia: Heights - It's not the falling that kills you, it's the stopping. Cannot be on rooftops.
Phobia: Dark – You say phobia, I say evolutionary advantage. Cannot go into dark without light.
Phobia: Tight Spaces – You fear being trapped. Cannot enter cramped spaces.

Slow-Witted – You have asked about the price of objects at the Dollar Store. (halves INT)
Limp-Wrist – You struggle to lift a pencil some days. (halves STR)
Lead Shoes – Why run when you can just... not run? (halves SPD)
Frail – You have been known to fall over from a particularly strong gust of wind. (halves HP)
Mundane – You are the kind of person to shout “you can see the strings” at a school play. (halves MP)

You see a guy in a leather jacket, boots, darkblue jeans & a Slayer "Slaytanic Wehrmacht" t-shirt, standing in the forrest, pissing on a tree.

Meet Blade the Werewolf

"I'm Blade...I don't know why they call me that...cuz, you know, I fight with a Nail Bat."

A hulk of a guy, slight odeure of beer & cigarettes, not the sharpest tool in the shed, but with a sense of humor. Your average Metal-Werewolfbuddy that fucks you up in the moshpit, but buys you a beer if he accidently knocks out your teeth.

Grappling Hook – Great for quick ascent or descent.
First Aid Kit – Heals 1d20 HP.
Flashlight – Allows you to see in the dark.

Tough – Takes a lickin' and keeps on tickin' (+15 HP)
Steel Nerves – No roll penalties from facing an unknown challenge or surprise attacks.

Weaknesses

"Dear son,
I am really proud of you for succesfully graduating your theological state examination. I am glad to have contributed to your oversea studies and I believe you will find great fulfilment in your duties as a Catholic Inquisitor.

I know we had our differences in the past. you know the thought of you exorcising thousands and thousands of my brethren never damaged our relationship, but you never having a beautiful wife like I did with your mother or a fine son as you are still gives me a hard time.

nevertheless, enjoy your duties and write your Dad some time again. give your mother a hug and say hello to your siblings. I come visit as soon as I get a summon from the 7th plane of torment again.

take care,
B̦͓̰̠̹͙̩l̘̯͙ͅa̷k̡̥̻k͙͖̰ha̰̮̺r͔a̛̲͓̖ẓͅz"

give your confession to:
Psychokind, the half-demon

A determined young Father, loyal to his ways of god, showing kindness for the good and no mercy for the evil in this world.

Perks

Spiritual – Naturally in tune magically. (+15 MP)
Steel Nerves – No roll penalties from facing an unknown challenge or surprise attacks.

Weapons & Items

Crossbow – 1d10 Bow, Long Range
Mana Kit – Heals 1d20 MP
Religious Talisman – Handy in a pinch for defense. (Cannot select if you have Phobia: Talisman)
Salt – Great for protection against full demons and ghosts.

Spells

Cure – 1d10+4 (MP:4) [Restores HP]

I'll get the first round up sometime this coming weekend! You all can still create characters while I get it started. Cool
