(Cross-posting from [url=http://eclipsephase.com/2nd-ed-morph-creation-rules]over here[/url].) Hey everyone! Using some resources at hand, I’ve been able to recreate what I [i]think[/i] are the morph creation rules for EP 2nd Edition. Because these are specifically for 2nd edition, it’s highly recommended to give the play-test rules for character creation a read, as that’s where a large amount of relevant info comes from. Other information was gleaned from [url=https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1zJFYcOWGopYkK9MEo0ZPfxsBE-MbbAy6... chart[/url]. EDIT: It’s possible the info on this chart isn’t supposed to be shared until everything is nailed down by the devs. If so, I will remove the link if requested. [b][u]PLEASE NOTE:[/u][/b] These rules are [b]not official[/b], and are merely my conclusions based on the information available. They are subject to change should new information become available, or official morph creation rules be released. [b]Morph Creation[/b] Determine the following MP values: [b]Pools MP[/b] [indent][i](CP cost for pools is 2 per pool/Flex point)[/i][/indent] [b]DUR MP[/b] [indent][i](Baseline DUR of 35. Every +/-5 DUR is +/-2 CP)[/i][/indent] [b]Traits MP[/b] [b]Ware MP[/b] [indent]Ware MP cost is 1 for Minor, 2 for Moderate, and 3* for Major complexity)[/indent] [b]Cost[/b] Determine total MP value and final, in-game value. [indent]Total: [i](Total of Pools, DUR, Traits and Wares MP values)[/i][/indent] [indent]¼ Cost: [i](Total MP reduced to ¼ Total Morph MP)[/i][/indent] [b]Final Cost:[/b] [i](Round to nearest whole number)[/i] Notes:[list] [*]All morphs should include the Cortical Stack [Minor] and Mesh Inserts [Minor] wares. Pods and synthmorphs must include the Cyberbrain [Major] ware - remember that Cyberbrains include Access Jacks, Mnemonics and a Puppet Sock for no additional cost. [*]Synthmorphs must also take a frame trait (light, medium, heavy), representing their synthetic construction - Nanoswarm morphs instead take the Swarm Characteristics trait. [*]Morphs include the Walker mobility system for free. [*]Non-standard sizes (Small/Large) have a cost of +/-0 MP due to the associated balance of penalties/benefits. [*]There is no limit to positive or negative traits used in a morph. A conservative suggestion is to have no more than 2 negative traits, and no more than 4 positive traits. [*]2nd Edition Wares and complexities can be found in the Gear and Transhuman Tech playest documents (May 29). As noted in the Gear rules, Wares and gear are restricted by morph type (I.e. Biomorphs and Pods cannot have Hardware, while Synthmorphs can.)[/list] Examples: [b]Takko (5 MP)[/b] Movement Rate: Thrust Vector 8/40, Walker 4/16 Ware: 360 Degree Vision, Access Jacks, Chameleon Skin, Cortical Stack, Cyberbrain, Enhanced Vision, Grip Pads, Mesh Inserts, Mnemonics, Polarized Vision, Puppet Sock Morph Traits: Limberness 2, Light Frame (6/4), Exotic Morphology 3 Notes: 8 Arms (+3 pairs), Natural Attack: Beak (DV 1d10) DUR 35, WT 7, DR 70 Insight 1, Moxie 0, Vigor 1, Flex 0 [b]Synthtaur (7 MP)[/b] Movement Rate: Walker (4/20 Biped, 6/40 Quadruped) Ware: Access Jacks, Cortical Stack, Cyberbrain, Extra Limbs, Mesh Inserts, Mnemonics, Pneumatics, Puppet Sock, Shape Adjusting Common Shape Adjustments: Grip Pads, Prehensile Feet, Retracting Limbs, Telescoping Limbs Morph Traits: Medium Frame (8/6), Exotic Morphology 3 Notes: Extra Limbs (+1 Pair), Large size DUR 60, WT 12, DR 120 Insight 1, Moxie 1, Vigor 2, Flex 0
