Übrigens, wen's interessiert: Hier ist der Probecharakter den ich erstellt hab. Der Charakter und die Kommentare sind auf Englisch weil ich das auch mal auf rpg.net gepostet hab, aber ist vielleicht trotzdem mal interessant.

Es war auf jeden Fall lustig das System so zu testen. ;D


--- Zitat ---So, after finishing the Blue Rose book, I tested the system by making a character. And, to my surprise, it worked really well. So well, that it needs a new thread to celebrate that... ;D

As it was more of a test for the system, the character has only a rough sketch of a background. I started with the idea of a "Swashbuckler" of some sort and, to see if it can be done, I tried to do it as an Expert instead of a Warrior. (Mainly because I like to play skilled characters and I wanted to see if it's possible to create a combat-capable skillmonster in Blue Rose.) I also decided to make it a Level 5 character, because I prefer capable characters to absolute beginners.

Looking through the backgrounds, the Vata'sha caught my fancy, creating the image of a scary, black-skinned Swashbuckler with close-fitting cloths and maybe a Rapier. ;D
Seeing how Vata live among humans and use a human background for favored skills and feats, I browsed the backgrounds and took "Roamer" as a background, because they sounded cool and I liked the idea of a wandering characters. Also, the favored skills fitted the concept, mainly Bluff.

The end product looked a bit different then what I had imagined at the beginning, mainly because the concept drifted a bit. What I ended up with was an acrobat and knife fighter, seemingly a pretty successfull one, because he ended up pretty wealthy. So not exactly a Swashbuckler, but instead a master-acrobat, a bit of a charming rogue with rather sharp senses, a quick tongue and a dangerous blade. Anyway, here are the stats, more comments below that:

------------------------

I was suprised how easy and flexible BR Character creation is. I like it how the character turned out, being combat-worthy without being a Warrior, having bits of magic without being an Adept and still being a quite capable social character. I like him as a Knife fighter, though I could imagine him later getting the Weapon training feat to get a Rapier or a Kukri. Originally, I gave him the "Inspire (Fear)" feat but later changed that to Crippling Strike, because I felt that it fitted the concept better. (Though I can easily see him get it later on, especially if he follows the dark streak I imagine him to have.)

If I´d really play him, I´d probably give him more Equipment and spend some of that Wealth on a horse and a wagon he travels in.

To sumn things up: I´m very happy about Blue Rose and I feel that is is a d20 system (yeah, I know, technically it isn´t, who cares...) that I could live with, that I could even like. I never really cared for anything D&D/d20, being more of a rules-lite person, but I could see me playing or even running a BR game. (Or a True20 game in another setting.) True20 seems very flexible and and not as rules-anal and tight-assed as regular D&D/d20, allowing a wide range of settings and character concepts.

All in all, I like it. :)

(And I´ll kick my friends ass who said that it´s not a good system. ::) )
