Hit Points
These determine how much damage the character can sustain before reaching unconsciousness or
death. A characters HP is equal to the average of their CON and SIZ characteristics.
Major Wound Level
When the character takes this amount of damage in one go, they suffer a Major Wound. Major Wounds
are injuries, such as a severed limb, broken ribcage or broken skull, which may render the character
unconscious immediately and leave permanent effects if not healed by powerful magic. A characters
Major Wound Level is equal to half of their hit points rounded up.
Movement Rate
This is the amount in yards that a character can move in a five second Combat Round. Human
characters have a Movement Rate of 15 yards.
Point of Origin Chart
Social State is an abstract marker of a settlement's technological, scientific, cultural and political level
(in terms of complexity if not value). Gamemasters may elect to have the PCs all start from a specific,
pre-determined community.

VOCATIONS
How they work:
1. You start at 12 +1d6 years. You already have some changes from your childhood, see attribute
changes, skills,
status, and cash from your father's background.
2. Pick a Starting Vocation based on your Point of Origin. Make sure you are eligible based on your
father's
background.
3. Roll and note Skills and Equipment. No starting skill can be beyond 75 percent.
4. Make a Hand of Fate roll. All rolls on 1d100.
5. If no Forced Exit, age three years, stay in vocation (automatic re entry if not forced out and staying
in current
vocation) or advance on the Vocation Path to another eligible vocation.
6. Blowing a Exit roll means you must stop advancing and enter adventuring life. Age three years.
Failing an
entry roll means that a character can try another eligible vocation or stay in their current.
7. Automatic exit after 3 terms (-1 to any attribute if 32).
8. Add in your four bonus +d10% rolls.
Each vocation is broken down into several categories of rolls and menus to represent progress over the
four years.
Entry
This represents the conditions necessary to enter the vocation and will have varying conditions. Entry
may be automatic, for instance if conditions for a specific class background, attribute minimum or a
previous Vocation that points to as an exit. In other cases a percentage roll will be required to start a
vocation. Failing an entry roll means that a character can try another eligible vocation or stay in their
current vocation.
Skills
These represent the skills learned during the four years. Some listings will give you a choice between
certain skills. Roll dice to determine how much to add to the base amount on the skill list. All skills are
cumulative over the course of a characters travel down the vocation path.
If you a skill roll gives you a chance to roll for an Advanced Skill, congratulations you have gained
access to that skill and can now add your bonus to the base.
No starting skill can be beyond 75 percent. Rolls above that score are ignored.
Equipment
This represents worldly goods acquired and left over from that three years. All listings are cumulative,
duplicate firearms or armor count as an upgrade in condition. Duplicate items can be retained or
sold at half market value. Money is represented by a roll of the listed die for Silver Dollars.
Hand of Fate
This represents the vagaries of life in the Post-War Age and the chance of something dangerous,
wonderful or weird happening to your character. If the number listed on the category is rolled you
must roll on the Hand of Fate Table below.

three years, now you have to see if he/she can continue in the character generation process. Roll
percentile dice to avoid being forced to leave.
If successful choose your next Vocation based on the following listing. Reroll on the same Vocation
listings if you stay in the same Vocation for the three-year period. If unsuccessful, the generation
process is complete, and your character is finished.
Bonus Skills and In-Game Advancement
Note that after character generation the scripted vocations stop and advancement follows the ingame Skill and Social Advancement rules (see Section XXX). The character is now allowed to roll a d10
four times to add percentage points to any basic skill they like or any advanced skill they learned
during character generation.

indicated in parentheses to find a characters default starting percentage.
Basic and Combat skills are possessed by all characters at their default percentage, but Advanced Skills
are all 0% until acquired.

Food and Drink
Grade D Food, $.10/day. Edible but 10% chance of illness per day.
Preserved Rations, $.50/day.
Clean Plant Foods, $2/day. Difficult to find and expensive are vegetables, grains, fruits and tubers
relatively free of radiation and mutagens (meat typically being too high on the food chain). Three days
of straight eating add 1 to CON as long as diet is kept up. A solid week of eating such a diet adds an
additional point to CON (and thus one Hit Point). Effects stop when the diet is interrupted.
MRE, $5. A century old but still edible. Eating one per day will produce the same effect as Clean Plants
but they are portable and preserved.
Corn Liquor, jug $.50
Armor and Weapons
The wastes are a hard place. Armor and weapons comes in a range of conditions from poor to excellent
with the best pieces in prime working order greatly coveted.
Better quality armor provides better Armor Points. Critical Hits reduce quality of armor.
Better quality weapons deal out better damage. Critical Misses reduce the quality of a weapon.
Optional Rule: A GM not wanting to fuss with this system can rule that all goods are available at the
Good condition price and effect.
Price= Average Price in Silver Dollars
AP= Armor Points
DMG = Damage on a d10
Social State = Social State needed to typically find on sale (Successful Trade check means you can find
at one higher and double price).
Scarcity= % chance you can find in typical market.

applied. Armor points are deducted from the damage roll and the remainder is the actual damage done
to the opponent.

+10% point blank range
+10% bolt action rifle
-30% long range
-25% target in soft or partial cover
-50% target in hard cover

and is unusable for the round (representing a jam, misfire, drop or whatever). ADDITIONAL TABLE
TBA.

A Critical Hit occurs on a roll of 93 or higher. Opponent's armor is instantly degraded one condition
level. An opponent with no AP left will incur double damage. ADDITIONAL TABLE TBA.
