Pyrrhic Stars

Complete Example: Creating a Frost Arcanotechnician

Let’s create an arcanotechnician specializing in the Frost school.

Concept

An arcanotechnician specializing in area control and frost damage, with arcanotechnological defense.

Base Stats (20 points)

  • HP: 60 — 10 pts ((60-30)/3 = 10)
  • Speed: 5 m — 10 pts ((5-3)x5 = 10)

Total: 20 points

A typical arcanotechnician profile: decent survivability with good mobility for repositioning.

Innate Resistances (14 points)

  • RMEC: 0 — 0 pts (relies on equipment for physical protection)
  • RRAD: 1 — 4 pts ((1x4) = 4)
  • RINT: 2 — 12 pts ((2x6) = 12)

Total: 14 points

Investment in RINT (very rare on equipment) and some RRAD to resist elemental spells. No RMEC because the tunic provides no protection anyway.

Character Stats (49 points)

| Stat | Value | Cost | | ---- | ----- | ---- | ---------------------- | | STR | 9 | 2 | | DEX | 9 | 2 | | CON | 10 | 4 | | INT | 16 | 21 | <- Main stat | | PER | 12 | 8 | | PRE | 11 | 6 | | CHA | 11 | 6 |

Total: 49 points

  • Ranged: 2 — 8 pts (for self-defense)
  • Melee: 2 — 8 pts (staff as last resort)
  • Frost School: 5 — 15 pts (main specialization)
  • Bioarcanotechnology School: 2 — 10 pts (support spells)
  • Destruction Type: 4 — 20 pts (primary damage)
  • Alteration Type: 2 — 10 pts (control and debuffs)
  • Displacement Type: 2 — 10 pts (tactical mobility)

Total: 81 points

Flux System (60 points)

  • Reserve: 30 — 30 pts (large reserve for prolonged combat)
  • Per Turn: 8 — 24 pts (high regeneration)
  • Recovery: 3 — 6 pts (good recovery between combats)

Total: 60 points

Equipment (4 points)

  • Arcanotechnological tunic: 50 credits — 1 pt
  • Medkit: 100 credits — 1 pt
  • Flux Crystal: 200 credits — 1 pt

Total: 4 points (400 credits)

  • Quantum Sight (E) — 5 pts (spell detection)

Total: 20 points

This character falls in the Mid-High tier, with strong arcanotechnological capability thanks to high Flux and arcanotechnological affinities. The investment in RINT (Internal Resistance) allows them to better resist life drains and Flux corruption.
