Character Creation

These optional rules follow the same basic steps as the rules found in the Starfleet Officer's Manual from Star Trek: The Role Playing Game Second Edition, with some additional material from the Star Trek: The Next Generation Officer's Manual supplement. Where these optional rules vary the details will be provided, otherwise see the appropriate manual for the explanation.

This section covers the basics of character creation for campaigns set during the era of The Original Series or for the Next Generation period. Where the rules differ between the eras there will be indications which rules apply to which era.

Beyond the basics of character creation, there are several additional sections with useful reference information or other optional rules to flesh out Star Trek characters.

1. Attributes

Character attributes are generated randomly as described on page 16 of Starfleet Officer's Manual, summarized below:

Attribute	Roll
STR	40+3d10
INT	40+3d10
DEX	40+3d10
END	40+3d10
CHA	40+3d10
LUC	d100
PSI	d100

Racial Modifiers

Add the modifiers applicable to the race chosen for the character, again found on page 16 of the Starfleet Officer's Manual; or see the Star Trek Races Summary page.

Bonus Points

Tweek the value of different attributes to further customize the character, as described on page 16 of Starfleet Officer's Manual.

Bonus Points Available: roll d100 / 2, round down
Choice: apply bonus points to any attribute except PSI
Restrictions: No more than 30 points in any one attribute. No attribute may be raised above 100 with Bonus Points.

Attribute Potential (New)

Attribute Pontential is adapted from Space Master: The Role Playing Game. In the same kind of manner that characters can improve their Skill Ratings (see p. 26 of the Star Trek: The Role Playing Game Second Edition Game Operations Manual) this optional rule allows the character to increase the level of their Attributes as well. The main difference is that there is a practical limit to how much a character's Attributes can increase. This is the MAX value of the Attribute, as compared to the CURRENT value which is the value at this point in time (and the value used for any Saving Rolls in the game). No Attribute can be raised higher than the MAX value through improvement (temporary boosts that occur during play, which can come from any number of in-game sources, can push the temporary CURRENT value above the MAX).

To determine the MAX for the character's Attributes, roll 1d100 for each Attribute and cross-reference the result in the table below based on the Initial Attribute Value (the CURRENT value as determined by the random roll above, with any Racial Modifiers applied). A result of "-" in the table indicates the Attribute is already at its MAX value and cannot be further improved, though if an event causes the CURRENT value to be permanently lowered (due to an injury or other in-game scenario) then the MAX value will remain unchanged and the character could recover the lost points over time through normal Attribute improvement.

	Range of the Initial Attribute

* For Attributes with an Initial Value over 100 (a possibility due to Racial Modifiers) a result of 100 on the d100 roll results in a MAX value 1 higher than the CURRENT value.

2. Traits (New)

Traits are special background options which help round out a character. They represent natural talents and special training the character may have received.

Number of Traits

To determine the number of Traits a character starts with, roll 1d10 and consult the table below.

1-4	1 Trait
5-7	2 Traits
8-9	3 Traits
10	4 Traits

Modifiers: characters with a LUC score of 70 or higher gain one additional Trait.

Trait Choice

Characters gain their Traits from the following Groups: Combat, Mental, Physical and Training. No more than 1/2 (round up) of the character's Traits can come from any one group. Roll 1d100 on the table for the chosen Group to determine what Trait the character gains.

3. Pre-Academy Skills

Pre-Academy Skills are determined in the same manner as described on page 18 of Starfleet Officer's Manual. A character has a number of Pre-Academy Skills equal to their INT score divided by 10 (round down). Skills are selected from the Education Background Skills and the Personal Development Skills lists summarized below. Half of the skills must come from each list, for an odd number of Pre-Academy Skills the odd skill must be selected from the Education list. The Skill Rating is determine by rolling 1d10 for each selected skill. Italicized skills are only available to Next Generation era characters.

Optional Rule – Cultural Background

Characters should be considered fluent in their native language and in Galacta. Also, GMs may want to give characters a Culture/History rating of 10 for their native world. In the case of humans, the native language does not need to be English but can be another Terran language.

4. Starfleet Academy

Characters typically enter the Academy at age 18, but this can vary by a few years to either side. Optionally the age the character entered Starfleet Academy can be determined randomly using the table below.

Starting Age

The Academy

Starfleet Academy is a four-year program. Most cadets enter at age 18 though there is some variation (see previous). All cadets have identical curricula for the first two years while the second two years of training are different for each service branch. Each year is made up of 3 four-month terms. The first two are spent attending classes while the third is spent in service on actual Starfleet stations. The third term is referred to as the Cadet Cruise. A cadet's final mark for each year in the Academy depends as much on their performance on the Cadet Cruise as it does on academic performance.

The six service branches in Starfleet are:

Command
Communications/Administration
Engineering
Medical*
Sciences
Security/Tactical

* Medical cadets take Pre-Med training during their 2nd two years at the Academy. Afterward they attend Starfleet Medical College, a second 4-year program, which is completed with a special form of Cadet Cruise (internship).

Outside Electives

Characters select two skills, including skills they do not yet have a rating in. New skills chosen start with a rating of 1d10, existing skills have their rating increased by 1d10.

Advanced Training

Characters may select a number of skills equal to their INT score divided by 10 (round down) from their Branch Skills. Each of the selected skills has its Skill Rating increased by 1d10. Skills may be selected more than once to receive this increase. (This is a simplified formula from the one presented on page 21 of the Starfleet Officer's Manual.)

Starfleet Medical College

Characters in the Medical Branch attend Starfleet Medical College after completing the Academy. Such characters gain all the skills listed in the Starfleet Medical College Curriculum table below at the rating indicated.

Advanced Training (Medical College Only)

Characters who attended Medical College may increase the rating a number of skills equal to their INT score minus 50 then divided by 10 (round down). Only skills acquired from the Starfleet Medical College Curriculum can be increased. Each selected skill has its rating increased by 1d10.

Cadet Cruises

Unlike the existing rules these revised rules have the characters perform a Cadet Cruise for each year they attended Starfleet Academy, as opposed to just a single Cadet Cruise at the end of the character's Branch Training.

Roll once for each year the character spent in the Academy
If the Cadet Cruise Result is a Fail, the character must repeat that year. There is no change to the character's skill rating for the repeated year at the Academy, but it will affect the character's starting age in the game. Characters will still gain Advanced Training from a failed Cadet Cruise (see below). Roll as before for the caracter's repeat year Cadet Cruise.
A result of High Honors results in a promotion to Ensign (starting cadets are ranked midshipmen).
Further results of High Honors grant promotion to Lieutenant Junior Grade and Lieutenant. No cadet may hold a rank higher than Lieutenant.
Cadets who are in the Medical branch roll for an extra Cadet Cruise which occurs at the end of their time at Medical College. This represents their internship.

5. Post Academy Experience and Skills

The next step is to detemine the character's experience in Starfleet prior to their current assignment (for the start of the game). This is represented by the number of Tours the character has served. The base number of tours the character has served equals 1d10 divided by 2 (round down, with a minimum of 1 tour), modified by the factors listed below.

Modifiers for Tours Served

For Attribute Scores

INT 60+: –1 tour
LUC 60+: –1 tour
LUC 40 or less: +1 tour

For Destined Rank

Ensign: –1 tour
Lieutenant or Lieutenant J.G.: no modifier

Officer Efficiency Report results are determined in the same manner as for the First Tour Assignment above.

Skill Advancement for Post-Academy Experience

To represent skill advancement due to experience earned on Tours, the character receives rolls to increase the rating of their skills as described below. Each indicated increase is determined by a 1d10 roll. If no specific skill is listed then the character may apply the roll to any skill they currently have a skill rating in.

For Service

Per 2 years of service (round up): 1 roll
Per 2 years on Constitution or Galaxy Class (round up): extra roll
Per tour at Starfleet Academy: 1 extra roll on Instruction
Per tour on Starbase duty: 1 extra roll on Administration

Age when entering Academy: 18 (may vary)

Modifiers for Training and Experience

Academy: +4 years
Medical College: +4 years
Per failed Cadet Cruise: +1 year
Per year of service: +1 year

7. Advanced Training

This last step for Starfleet Officer characters is limited to characters intended for a Command position or who are expected to occupy a position on the starship's Bridge.

Bridge Command Skills

Command rank officers and Bridge officers may be required to assume duties outside their area of training during crisis situations. Because of this these officers must have a minimum rating in certain critical skills. If they do not possess these skills or have a rating in the skill less than the indicated level then the character either gains the skill at that level or, if they already possess the skill, it is raised to the indicated level. Officers in the following positions are eligible to receive Bridge Command skills.

Bridge Officers from Star Trek: The Original Series

Captain
First Officer
Helm Officer
Navigation Officer
Communications Officer
Science Officer
Chief Engineering Officer

Bridge Officers from Star Trek: The Next Generation

Captain
First Officer
Operations Manager
Flight Control Officer
Tactical Officer
Science Officer
Chief Engineering Officer

Bridge Command Skills

Skill	Minimum Level
Administration	20
Astrogation	10
Communications Systems Operation	10
Negotiation/Diplomacy	10
Starship Helm Operation	10

8. Starfleet Specialists (Enlisted and NCOs)

The rules in Sections 4 through 7 are for characters destined to be Starfleet Officers, but not everyone in Starfleet is an Officer. The bulk of the fleet members are Specialists, or in more military parlance the Enlisted and Non-Commissioned Officers (NCOs). Specialist characters should use the rules below for the character creation steps for Starfleet Academy, Post-Academy Experience, and Character Age.

A. Pre-Academy

The Pre-Academy skills for Specialists are determined the same as for Officer characters, as described in Pre-Academy Skills above.

B. Starfleet Academy

Starfleet Specialists have their own Academy curriculum. Specialists enter a special 2 year program, the first year is spent learning a Basic Curriculum and the second year is spent in Specialization training. After completing the two years the character undergoes a single cadet cruise before finishing.

Basic Curriculum

Skill	Rating
Computer Operation	20
Environmental Suit Operation	20
Medical Sciences*
General Medicine (First Aid)	10
Marksmanship, Modern	20
Personal Combat, Unarmed	20
Planetary Survival*	20

Federation Law	10
Transporter Operational Procedures	10
Zero-G Operations	20

Outside Electives

For Specialists this is the same as for Officer training as desribed in Starfleet Academy above. Characters select five skills from the Elective Skills list below and gain a rating of 10 in the skill. No skill can be selected more than once from the list.

Advanced Study

The Advanced Study works the same as for Officer training as desribed in Starfleet Academy above. Characters may select a number of skills equal to their INT score divided by 10 (round up) plus 5 from the skills they have already learned. Each of the selected skills has its Skill Rating increased by 1d10. Skills may be selected more than once to receive this increase.

Specialization Training

Specialization is the equivalent of Branch Training for Officers. Characters select the area of specialization they want to study in their second year at the Academy. The character will gain all the skills listed in the table for that specialization at the skill rating indicated.

Advanced Training

Characters may select a number of skills equal to their INT score divided by 10 (round down) from their Specialization Skills. Each of the selected skills has its Skill Rating increased by 1d10. Skills may be selected more than once to receive this increase. (This is the same as the Branch Skills Advanced Training for Officers as described in Starfleet Academy above.)
