DAM CHARACTER CREATION

Character creation works much the same way as normal DAM generation, but I have merged some of the Marvel TSR tables into it as well and altered them to fit. The random aspect can be ignored if the DM thinks the player's suggestion is a good one for a character which will operate within their campaign well. Remember if the DM is a good one almost any rule change can be made as long as both player and DM agree.

  1. Find a Physical form.
  2. Find an Origin of power.
  3. Generate basic Attributes.
  4. Generate Saving Throws.
  5. Generate Senses.
  6. Generate Skills. Choose General and any Combat skills. Only complete this stage now if appropriate, otherwise leave until after Hero has been finished.
  7. Find Weakness Stimulus.
  8. Find Effect of Weakness.
  9. Determine Power Points.
  10. Purchase Powers with Power Points.
  11. Modify any statistics accordingly.
  12. Create a Name and background for your Hero with the DM.
  13. If possible draw Hero.
  14. Role play!
