Character Point Rate

Duelists pride themselves in their ability to draw attacks yet not be hit by them. Speed and React is the way to go for them.

The Duelist's character point rate is:
  • Mental x 0.01; with an additional +0.2 for every level obtained in Evasion Counter (total of +0.8 bonus possible).
  • A duelist who gets all 4 levels of Agility Empowerment gets to roll a 1d% increased by Mental as a percentage for extra character points.
  • A duelist who gets all 4 levels of Evasion Counter gets to roll  2d% increased by Mental as a percentage for extra character points.
  • A duelist who gets at least 1 level in every duelist skill gets their End of Session Bonus as extra character points.
  • A duelist's End of Session Bonus rate is your character point rate increased by 1/2 React. So if your character point rate is 1.5 and your React 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. 

Skills
