Atomic RPG System FAQs

Character Creation

As a general Atomic RPG System rule, players can adjust their characters when they level up. This means players can change aspects of their character on top of the normal changes that come with leveling. This helps players adjust their characters continuously. Players can easily adapt to the game they are playing or to changes their characters as they evolve. When players make changes to their characters they should be limited to one thing per level. This would include; Traits, Archetype, Style, Focus, Specialty, Skills, One Discipline.

This is to show growth and flexibility so characters do not completely change when they level. However, the GM has final say on what any player can change.

As far as Powers themselves are concerned. GM’s are encouraged to allow players to adjust and change Powers during any Full Rest if they feel they need to.

However, final say on any character is always up to your RPG groups GM.

Power Points are the number of points any particular character has to use to create the Powers and abilities of the character.

Each character Focus has a different ratio of Power Points that will be available for that particular character. Balanced characters have the most Power Points, but their maximum they can use per Power is the lowest. Focused characters have a medium amount of Power Points, their maximum they can use per Power is in the mid range. Devoted characters have the fewest Power Points, but their maximum they can use per Power is the highest.

Power Points can be further modified through character Traits, Specialties, Atomic Items, and even special GM modifications to a character.
