Aslane- 4e Template
Here are converted templates of the Aslan (both cultural and non-cultural) for 4e. I m converting my game and can't wait for the Interstellar Wars books. Please comment as I want them to be as good as possible:
Aslan Template (Cultural): -10 point cost Attributes: ST +1 [10] DX –1 [-20] Ads: Acute Hearing +3 [6] Acute Taste/Smell +3 [6] Claws- Sharp [5] Enhanced Move 1 (costs 2 fatigue/minute, -10%) [9] Extended Lifespan +1 [2] Extra Hit Points +1 [2] Fur [1] Damage Resistance 1 [5] Temperature Tolerance 1 [1] Night Vision 9 [9] Disads: Code of Honor – The Fteir [-15] Intolerance (non-aslan) [-10] Obsession: Own Land (9)-15 Poor Grip 1 [-5] Proud [-1] ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Aslan Template (Non-Cultural): 15 point cost Attributes: ST +1 [10] DX –1 [-20] Ads: Acute Hearing +3 [6] Acute Taste/Smell +3 [6] Claws- Sharp [5] Enhanced Move 1 (costs 2 fatigue/minute, -10%) [9] Extended Lifespan +1 [2] Extra Hit Points +1 [2] Fur [1] Damage Resistance 1 [5] Temperature Tolerance 1 [1] Night Vision 9 [9] Disads: Obsession: Own Land (9)-15 Poor Grip 1 [-5] Proud [-1] |

Re: Aslane- 4e Template
Hmm.
Probably could use Sharp Teeth [1] as well; they are carnivores after all. Poor Grip should be Bad Grip. The double whammy of Bad Grip and -1 DX seems excessive, though. I'd give them no DX mod and Ham Fisted [-5] instead. Extended Lifespan is not quite right. AR1 also added Short Lifespan to reflect the rapid decline of Aslan over 55 Imperial years old. You coudl duplicate that, but it seems a bit clunky. I'd drop Extended Lifespan and just call the minor changes in aging thresholds a special effect. Then create a new disad (Rapid Aging) to cover that rapid decline after age 55. The mirror image of Longevity, Rapid Aging causes a character to fail aging rolls except on a critical success. That's probably a -3 point disad, slightly more significant than Longevity, but not dramatically so. I'm not sure about Damage Resistance either. I know it was rolled into Fur in the old system, but I don't see Aslan pelts as being that tough. Lions don't even get DR, but they do get Temperature Tolerance. I'd do the same with Aslan.

Re: Aslane- 4e Template
I would have thought that an Aslan cultural template was supposed to add Aslan attitudes to those humans (and other non-Aslan species, if any) who were culturally Aslan. As such, should it contain racial Aslan features?
I would have expected the 'cultural Aslan template' plus the 'racial Aslan template' to add up to an Aslan template. (And is land hunger a raciual or a cultural trait? ;-) Hans |

Aslan Lifespan [-4] Aslan begin making aging rolls at 70 once every 6 months. At 80 this increases to every 3 months and at 90 it increases to every 45 days. Built from: Short Lifespan 1 (-50%) plus Extended Lifespan 1 (-50%) Last edited by stilleon; 09-29-2004 at 11:46 AM. |
