Experience
Experience points are a method of rewarding players for their
participation & helping them to make their characters more
powerful. This creates an investment in the character & helps
to create goals as well as allowing a game to progress from a
relatively low level to a more epic scale where the characters take
on more powerful opponents & do more heroic deeds.

Characters receive experience at the following rate. Note that the

Games Master is final arbiter of all experience awards and that
this table is merely a guideline.

These points do not build up into levels; instead they are kept &
spent to increase the various qualities of a character. You may
spend the points at the following rate to increase the following
things…

Abilities: Raising an Ability costs the current level of the

Ability, multiplied by 3.

Class skill: Raising a class skill costs the current level of the
skill.

Non-class skill: Any other skills cost 2 times the current level to
raise.

Hero Points: Hero Points may be bought at a rate of 1 for 1 &

may be purchased at any time.

Reputation: Reputation may not be increased be Experience

Points save when purchasing very high level skills & Abilities.
Otherwise reputation only increases by role-play.

Feats: To buy a new Feat costs a number of Experience Points

equal to the number of Feats already possessed multiplied by 2.

Base Attack: Increasing your base attack costs 5 times the

current level of Base Attack.

Saves: Saving throws may be increased at a cost of 3 times the

current level.

If an ability or skill is at 0 or less it is counted as being at 1 for

the purposes of increasing it.

Some military vehicles are equipped with fire-control computers.

These systems grant equipment bonuses on attack rolls with the

Driving Defensively: Just as in melee combat, one can fight

defensively while driving a vehicle, which grants a +1 dodge
bonus to the vehicle’s Defence & applies a –2 penalty on attack
rolls made by occupants of the vehicle for each action used on
defensive driving, which also reduces the forward speed of the
vehicle by 10 ft per action spent.

Targeting Occupants
An attack made against a vehicle uses the vehicle’s Defence,
modified by its speed category. Attackers can choose instead to
target specific vehicle occupants.

An attack against a vehicle occupant is made like any other

attack. Remember, however, that a character in a vehicle gains
bonuses to Defence from both the vehicle’s speed & any cover it
provides.

Cover
When a character fires from a vehicle, objects or other vehicles in
the way can provide cover for the target (see Cover).

Repairing Damage
Repairing damage to a vehicle takes a full hour of work, a
mechanical tool kit & a garage or some other suitable facility.
(Without the tool kit, a character takes a –4 penalty on his or her
Repair check). At the end of the hour, make a Repair check (TN
20). Success restores 2d6 Hit Points. If damage remains, the
character may continue to make repairs for as many hours as it
takes to restore all of the vehicle’s Hit Points.

All ray attacks require the attacker to make a successful ranged

are simple maximums. A ray’s attack roll never takes a range

a saving throw (Fortitude or Will). Rays never allow a Reflex

Hit Locations for Non-Humanoid

Creatures
Winged humanoids hit in the torso or arms have a 50% chance of
being hit in the wings instead. Wings have the same Hit Points as
arms.

Winged quadrupeds hit in the torso have a 50% chance of being

hit in the wings instead. Their wings have the same Hit Points as
their legs.

Quadrupeds have forelegs & rear legs, these both have half the
number of Hit Points of the torso.

Blob like masses have only their general Hit Points.

Creatures with multiple limbs have which limb is hit randomised

after location is determined on the normal hit chart. Creatures
with more than 4 limbs tend to use the Hit Points calculation for
arms rather than legs to determine their leg Hit Points.

Creatures with less than 5 Hit Points are considered to only have
general Hit Points.

4. Leave everything else the same.

More Detailed Monster

Conversion
For a more detailed monster conversion perform the following
steps.

1. Note down the type of creature & its size.

2. Examine the Challenge Rating & note it down. The
Challenge Rating you will use to calculate stats with will
be higher or lower depending on how many size classes
the creature is bigger or smaller than ‘medium’. EG
a Challenge Rating 4 creature of ‘large’ size receives
starting stats based on Challenge Rating 3.
3. Note down Challenge Rating related Stats. Base Attack,
Defence Class, Feats & Saves. Saves will be determined
by creature type. No creature has a weak save unless
you designate it to have one.
4. Modify Base Attack, Defence Class & so on according
to size.
5. Cut & paste the Abilities block. This will not change.
6. Calculate skill points according to Intelligence &
Creature type.
7. Drop in Feats, special abilities & special attacks,
removing Feats that do not exist in the Live System.
8. Drop in skills but remove their values, spend skill points
on the skills.
9. Modify saves, attacks etc by Ability bonus.
10. Calculate Hit Points. Remember to double Hit Points
for each scale up & halve for each scale down. Bonuses
to Hit Points apply before doubling. Some animals have
different locations or different Hit Point calculates to
human ones. Use your own discretion.
11. Calculate the damage done by natural weapons, you can
have the weapons do damage as though they were one
scale bigger or smaller if you wish.
12. Apply the effects of armour to your Dex based skills,
Reflex save & your Defence Class. Yes, armour affects
Defence Class twice through direct deduction & through
deduction of the Reflex save.
13. Calculate final Initiative & add Reflex save to the
Defence Class.
14. You are now good to go.

Hit Locations for Non-Humanoid

Creatures
Winged humanoids hit in the torso or arms have a 50% chance of
being hit in the wings instead. Wings have the same Hit Points as
arms.

Winged quadrupeds hit in the torso have a 50% chance of being

hit in the wings instead. Their wings have the same Hit Points as
their legs.

Quadrupeds have forelegs & rear legs, these both have half the
number of Hit Points of the torso.

Blob like masses have only their general Hit Points.

Creatures with multiple limbs have which limb is hit randomised

after location is determined on the normal hit chart. Creatures
with more than 4 limbs tend to use the Hit Points calculation for
arms rather than legs to determine their leg Hit Points.

Creatures with less than 5 Hit Points are considered to only have
general Hit Points.

4. Leave everything else the same.

More Detailed Monster

Conversion
For a more detailed monster conversion perform the following
steps.

1. Note down the type of creature & its size.

2. Examine the Challenge Rating & note it down. The
Challenge Rating you will use to calculate stats with will
be higher or lower depending on how many size classes
the creature is bigger or smaller than ‘medium’. EG
a Challenge Rating 4 creature of ‘large’ size receives
starting stats based on Challenge Rating 3.
3. Note down Challenge Rating related Stats. Base Attack,
Defence Class, Feats & Saves. Saves will be determined
by creature type. No creature has a weak save unless
you designate it to have one.
4. Modify Base Attack, Defence Class & so on according
to size.
5. Cut & paste the Abilities block. This will not change.
6. Calculate skill points according to Intelligence &
Creature type.
7. Drop in Feats, special abilities & special attacks,
removing Feats that do not exist in the Live System.
8. Drop in skills but remove their values, spend skill points
on the skills.
9. Modify saves, attacks etc by Ability bonus.
10. Calculate Hit Points. Remember to double Hit Points
for each scale up & halve for each scale down. Bonuses
to Hit Points apply before doubling. Some animals have
different locations or different Hit Point calculates to
human ones. Use your own discretion.
11. Calculate the damage done by natural weapons, you can
have the weapons do damage as though they were one
scale bigger or smaller if you wish.
12. Apply the effects of armour to your Dex based skills,
Reflex save & your Defence Class. Yes, armour affects
Defence Class twice through direct deduction & through
deduction of the Reflex save.
13. Calculate final Initiative & add Reflex save to the
Defence Class.
14. You are now good to go.

‘45: The good news? WWII finished early. The bad news? Because it was fought with atomic
weapons. The world is a mess, many of the great cities destroyed and many of the once powerful
governments toppled. Superscience fuelled the war and is now repairing the damage. Beautifully
illustrated in the pin-up style ‘45 is a pulp-fuelled dieselpunk spectacular.
