Character Point Rate

Blade Dancers are agile fighters. Speed and React is the way to go for them.

The Blade Dancer's character point rate is:
  • Mental x 0.01; with an additional +0.2 for every level obtained in Momentum Hit (total of +0.8 bonus possible).
  • A blade dancer who gets at least 1 level in every blade dancer skill gets their End of Session Bonus plus 2d% as extra character points.
  • A blade dancer's End of Session Bonus rate is your character point rate increased by 1/2 Speed. So if your character point rate is 1.5 and your Speed is 60, you would take 1.5 x 30 to get 45 extra character points at the end of the session. The GM can of course reward extra character points based on role playing.
