Character Generation 3: Virtues

Updated 2000-07-24

You must purchase (or choose) race before starting to take virtues and flaws.

Usually one Virtue can only be taken only once, and two Virtues that are almost alike can not both be taken. Flaws that negate some Virtues already taken, or vice versa, are not allowed.

Reading/writing: in Middle-earth, all player characters are assumed to be literate (able to read and write) unless a 10 point flaw is taken.

Set Option Category

ChL Table 15.7.3 (p. 90, 2nd Ed).

• 15 points: +15 in a secondary skill (one per skill, not cumulative)
• 10 points: +5 in a primary skill (one per skill, not cumulative)

Special Abilities Category

ChL Table 15.7.3, with lots of changes and some additions.

• 55 points: Angle Perception: You have an exceptional ability to judge angles and changes in the slant of relatively uniform, solid surfaces. You receive a +25 bonus when attempting to perceive traps or secret doors which are set in walls, floors, or ceilings that have such surfaces and you can judge the angle of an incline almost immediately.
• 110 points: Animal Empathy: You have empathy with a type of animal (not monster!) of your choice and receive a +25 bonus when attempting any maneuver on or with such an animal. Prolonged association (e.g. a month) to a specific animal of the given type will enable you and the animal to mentally communicate within a range equal to 100' times your level.
• 130 points: Bizarre Resistance: A bizarre resistance allows you a +40 RR bonus versus spells from one realm (choose Essence, Channeling, Mentalism or Psionics), in addition to any others. This will hinder your own spells of that realm, if any, and can not be "turned off"! It does not affect magic items you are using (except runes and scrolls).
• 70 points: Combat Reflexes: The character gains +25 to first initiative on a combat, and +10 afterwards (as the opponent now knows about the character's superior reflexes).
• 110 points: Discriminatory Hearing: Your acute hearing enables you to perceive, isolate, and understand any sound; your range is 100' for open areas or 25' when listening through solid objects.
• 110 points: Discriminatory Smell: Your acute sense of smell enables you to perceive and distinquish odors up to 100' upwind, 2000' downwind, and 500' in still air. Should you track something based on experience with its odor you have a +25 bonus.
• 212 points: Exceptionally Enchanted: You are exceptionally enchanted. You have a +50 RR bonus versus spells from one realm (choose Essence, Channeling, Mentalism or Psionics) and a +25 bonus when casting such spells or attempting to understand and use inscriptions and items whose power is based on that realm.
• 80 points: Fine Wrists: Due to your fine wrists, you are impeccably precise with thrown objects and have a +20 bonus for throwing attacks or actions, including sweeps and throws.
• 55 points: Great Endurance: Can travel for two days without rest, requires half the amount of rest than others. Effectively, recovers Exhaustion points at a double rate. However, the amount of sleep required does not change.
• 110 points: Great Lungs: Your tremendous lung capacity enables you to hold your breath for up to 5 minutes without damaging yourself. In addition, you have twice the endurance you normally would have.
• 80 points: Great Stature: You are unusually strong and have a +20 Strength stat bonus in addition to any other. This is due to your great stature, for you are the maximum size for one of your kind (i.e. must take maximum size).
• 100 points: High Range Voice: You have a high range voice which can be used once a day to either:
  1. shatter normal glass surfaces which are no more than 1' thick and weigh no more than 1000 pounds
  2. create a 5th level scream attack which stuns all listeners within a 25' radius for 2 rounds (if they fail an RR).
• 40 points: Infravision: You possess infravision and can see sources of heat up to 100' away, so long as it is dark. Perhaps your family has dwarven (or orcish) blood...
• 100 points: Inner Reserve: Your exceptional inner reserve allows you to withstand pain and you add +3 to each Body Development roll (or rank) when determining your available concussion hits.
• 120 points: Lightning Reactions: You have lightning reactions which give you a +5 DB, a +5 OB, and +20 for determining initiative (e.g. who swings first).
• 27 points: Mystic Sight: Each of your eyes is of a different color. You have the capability to close your eyes and concentrate for a round and, in so doing, reorient your vision so that you can see invisible objects, but not visible organic objects. To return to normal sight you reverse the process.
• 75 points: Neutral Odor: Your body creates a peculiar neutral odor which cannot be smelled and masks the odor of anything within 5'.
• 80 points: Nimble Skeleton: Your nimble skeleton allows you a +20 bonus when making moving maneuvers.
• 60 points: Poor Man's Power: You have an enchanted quality about you and are naturally proficient with spells. You can buy spells from one single list as if it was your Base List, and furthermore, at half cost. It can be any list GM allows. The spell list is cast from the realm of the caster, even if the list is not of that realm.
• Var: Potential Toughness: (Also Natural Physique II). Racial maximum base hit points are increased.
  • 150% normal: 40 points.
  • 200% normal: 60 points.
  • 300% normal: 80 points.
• 110/220 points: Psionic: The character has a separate set of Power Points, and psionic lists from Space Master. In many worlds, such as Middle-earth this may cost 220 points, or be disallowed.
• 150 points: Quick Concentration: An exceptional ability to quickly concentrate and focus on matters enables you to prepare actions (e.g. spells, bow attacks) one round quicker than you would normally.
• 60 points: Soothing Voice: Your voice has a soothing tone which gives you a +15 to any attempt of verbal action to calm or persuade someone: e.g. in conversation, singing, public speaking, trading, acting, "Calm" spells, etc.
• 60 points: Sparkling Eyes: You possess a pair of enticing, sparkling eyes which provide you with a charismatic air. Add +15 bonus for all actions involving leadership or influence: e.g. public speaking, seduction, Charm spells, Hold spells, etc.
• 80 points: Springed Legs: Your legs have tremendous "spring" and you receive a +10 bonus for all leaping maneuvers. A vertical jump of up to 4 feet, a standing jump of up to 8 feet, or a running jump of up to 20 feet is routine. Your hand joints share this uniqueness and you receive the +10 bonus for actions involving picking locks, rowing, or pulling on things with your hands: e.g. tugging on a rope or firing a non-mechanical bow.
• 100 points: Strider: Your quick but quiet stride
  1. gives you a +20 bonus when attempting to move silently,
  2. allows you to ambush anyone who you can strike from behind, with a +2 ambush skill rank bonus,
  3. gives you a +20 bonus for balancing maneuvers.

If the attempt fails, that one injury or disease on just that one person can never be healed by the character. On a blunder, the injury is transferred.

  If you are using Rolemaster with Spell Law, treat this Gift as a combination of

  • Major Vessel Repair, level 10, Blood Law, Closed Channeling

• 150 points: Stun Tolerance*: "Stun No Parry" result means stun only, can still parry.
• 200 points: Superb Synapses*: Syperb synapse development, +20 to both OB and DB in addition to all other bonuses.
• 150 points: Metabolical Control: Trance to resist poison or disease at an extra +50 bonus.
• 300 points: True Immortality*: If chosen mortal form is slain, body (not items) vanishes in a flash of light. The 'soul' returns to "home plane" where the character recovers his/her strength. Process requires a set number of days (2 months at this point cost, time may be even years, in which case the cost of this virtue can be lowered). During that time the character cannot affect physical reality, though he/she may appear as a ghostly image and interact with others.
• 100 points: Unusual voice: +20 to public speaking, acting, or Voice Psi.
• 40 points: Warrior Extraordinaire: The character has a +10 with all melee weapons, missile weapons or unarmed combat - choose one (or take this virtue many times).
• 50 points: Wide Field of Vision: Flank bonus only from behind (if not surprised).
• 81 points: Winged Flight*: at Base Move rate. The cost includes wings. If wings are an extraordinary sight, they justify some Flaws.
• 100 points: Wingless Flight: the character is able to fly at Base Move rate without wings. This looks like magic or superpower.
• 25 points: Super Flight: flight movement rate doubled. This Virtue can be taken many times, each doubling the rate. The character must have the ability to fly; this cannot be used to boost flight spells, it only applies to innate flight ability.
• 50 points: Sylvan Nature: Wild animals will not attack the character unless actively provoked.
• 100 points: Greased Lightning*: Will always strike first unless surprised.
