The Character Expertise Ratings Meme
This meme's pretty simple. It represents the number of "dots" each character has put into a particular skill or was born with.
The categories are:
Mysticism/Magic: Your character's ability with magic, ghosts or other supernatural things.
Close Range Fighting: Your character's ability to fight at close range, with or without a weapon.
Long Range Fighting: Your character's ability to fight at long range, either with a gun, or natural abilities (such as the Force or Bending)
Piloting: Your character's ability to pilot or drive different craft.
Engineering/Hacking: Your character's facility with machines/computers, building, maintaining and modifying them.
Medicine: Pretty self explanatory
Survival: Your character's expertise at survival in a particular environment. The rating goes up if they can teach these skills to others and/or survive in multiple environments. Conversely it goes down if they are so adapted to one environment that they have trouble functioning in others (IE Lafiel's trouble with gravity or Sheeana's with water). Note the environment if the rating is above civilian.
Diplomacy/Politics: Your character's ability with interpersonal, national, international and interspecies politics. Includes both characters who have good skills in the social arena (IE have high CAR ratings) and those who are experts in sociopolitical theory.
Here are the categories in handy textbox form:
Mysticism/Magic:
Close Range Fighting:
Long Range Fighting:
Piloting:
Engineering/Hacking:
Medicine:
Survival:
Diplomacy/Politics:
The ratings are:
crippled: This category doesn't exist in your character's world or they are otherwise unable to access it. A character who comes from a totally scifi world with no supernatural abilities would put this rating in for Mysticism/magic, for instance.
civilian: This category exists in your character's world but your character is not trained in it nor do they have any special abilities in it.
badass: Your character either has some amount of training in this or is naturally gifted at it.
expert: Your character is either a natural prodigy at this or has spent a long time studying it.
