===Creating A Character===

''VirusFags Rulebook Attempt''

In ''Server Crash'', many of the humans who survived the fall are simple Data Miners, with the occasional Programmer, Merchant, and Guardsmen thrown into the mix. But adventurers are made of sterner stuff, and usually have access to more skills, programs, and usually have a specialized set of tricks up their sleeves that help them safely traverse the net.

Instead of choosing one class, and rolling ability scores, ''Server Crash'' uses a point buy system, allowing for greater customization of your character. You will be given 100 points to put into your abilities, tiers, and general skills. However, these are not always bought on a one to one basis, so keep an eye on your point total.

'''Ability Scores'''

Characters in ''Server Crash'' have five different ability scores that represent their ability to traverse and survive in the Net. Your ability scores can range from one to ten. The first five ranks in any ability cost one point, the sixth, seventh, and eighth cost two points, and the ninth and tenth rank cost three points each.

'''INTERFACE''' – Interface (FACE) is your character’s ability to successfully interact with the environment and other denizens of the net.

'''POWER''' – Power (POW) is your character’s strength and general offensive ability. 

'''CAPACITY''' – Capacity (CAP) is how large your character is. The larger your character, the more they can carry, the more noticeable they are, and the more likely they are to be slowed down in low bandwidth areas.

'''DATA SCANNING''' – Data Scanning (DS) is your character’s ability to assess and identify code, links and other parts of the environment.

'''INTEGRATION''' – Integration (INT) is how connected your character is to the internet. A character with a low integration score is still very human and most of their original code. A character with a high integration score has made many modifications to their code consisting of removal of data mimicking normal human functions, such as simulated breathing or human emotions. Careful! Integration, and the lack thereof can be dangerous! An INT score of 0 means you’ve been disconnected from the net, and an INT score of 10 means you’ve become fully codified, with effects ranging from becoming an unplayable Cyber to dissolving into background data.

'''Tiers'''
Unlike some other RPGs, ''Server Crash'' uses a tier system of open skills and archetype-restricted powers. However, keep in mind that not all skills are compatible with one another, so take a careful look before you choose. A Tiered skill's cost is equal to its Tier, so a Tier 1 skill costs one point, whereas a Tier 5 skill costs 5 (plus to get there, you have to buy Tiers 1-4)

'''Skills'''
In addition to each class’ skill tier, there are non specific skills in ''Server Crash'' as well. These skills are also tiered. you buy points in them to increase your ability to perform that skill.
  
Ranks in General Skills may be bought up to 10, at an increasing cost, much like your ability scores. The point cost is different, however. Ranks 1-5 cost two point each, 6-8 cost five, and ranks 9 and 10 cost a whopping eight points! This encourages different party members to have different skills, and keeps the characters from being the same sheet with a different name.
