City Rat

From Chronicles

In accordance with the rules in Sourcebook 5: Bionics, Chronicles of Kingsdale has come up with the following addendum and alterations to the OCC.

Once the new OCC is chosen and applied, the skills are altered immediately as below. There is no delay of months or years.

1. All non-duplicated skills are cut in half and frozen.
2. Skills which alter physical or mental attributes such are not affected directly, but combat bonuses are effected as below.
3. The Weapon Proficiency bonuses of all non-duplicated skills are cut in half, rounded down to the nearest whole number (minimum of 1).
4. Combat Bonuses are affected the same as Weapon Proficiencies. Duplicated skills will stack after the bonuses are rounded down.
5. Original skills will be indicated as such. Example: CR - Boxing... -% --% 1
6. HtH and HtH Combat will be treated the same as non-duplicated Weapon Proficiencies and frozen unless and until duplicated.
7. Skills that are duplicated at a later date will have the halved reduction removed. The larger bonus of the applicable skill will be used. These skills will then be frozen at that level until the character's skill level equals the original City Rat level (i.e. a City Rat turned at 4th level, who has a 2nd level Streetwise skill will not get any further advancement on Streetwise until the Streetwise skill as at level 4, the original level of the City Rat OCC.
