Character Point Rate

Entertainers practice the art of performance. They learn skills that hone their musical and dancing abilities.

The Entertainer's character point rate is:

  • Mental x 0.01; with an additional +0.2 for every level in either Sickening Tones, Relaxing Tones, or Tap Dance past level 1 (total of +0.6 bonus possible). Must choose which skill to base the bonus on.
  • An entertainer who gets all skills in either Sickening Tones, Relaxing Tones, or Tap Dance skill chain at level 1 gets to roll a 1d% increased by Mental as a percentage for extra character points.
  • An entertainer who gets all skills in either Sickening Tones, Relaxing Tones, or Tap Dance skill chain at level 4 gets to roll  2d% increased by Mental as a percentage for extra character points.
  • An entertainer who gets at least 1 level in every entertainer skill gets their End of Session Bonus as extra character points.
  • An entertainer'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.
