FATE Numenera/Character Descriptors

From RPG Wiki
Jump to navigationJump to search

The 'Character Descriptors' list is in the Numenera book (chapter 5, page 47). The full list is:

  • Charming
  • Clever
  • Graceful
  • Intelligent
  • Learned
  • Mystical/Mechanical
  • Rugged
  • Stealthy
  • Strong
  • Strong-Willed
  • Swift
  • Tough
  • Come up with your own!

Converting a Character Descriptor to a FATE Stunt will usually mean picking one of the abilities and running with that. Many Descriptors have to do with Skills--if you like, your stunt can just be a +2 bonus to one of your skills in a particular situation, or you can just pick Skills that match the Descriptor you're running with. Otherwise, figure out what drew you to that Descriptor in the first place, and we'll come up with something based on that. (The FATE core book might also be a good source of inspiration, here, especially for descriptors tied to a particular skill or set of skills.)
