From Personal Development I put 2 points into Streetwise. I elected to put 3 points in General Medicine-First Aid (I figured he had to help in some capacity while growing up which may have led to his decision to join security) for Educational. There were two categories to select from, Educational and Personal Development. Wilson’s INT score divided by 10 and rounding down. The next step was to pick my pre-academy skills. Most of my rolls were pretty good so I elected to put 5 points into STR and 4 points into END to help with his stats as a security officer (which brought both attributes up to 65 and 64) and the remaining 2 points going into INT (raising it to 50). PSI cannot be increased and I am now allowed to put more than 30 in one attribute (no issue there). This roll was 23, which resulted in 11 bonus points. In the RAW you roll another D100 and divide by two (rounding down). The only racial modifiers for Humans is -30 to PSI which lowered this score to 31. The last two attributes, Luck and Psionic Potential, it was a straight percentile roll (D100). While FASA had supplements that moved the game into the Star Trek Movies and the early days of The Next Generation, the primary focus was the Original Series with Kirk and Spock.įor the first five attributes of Strength, Endurance, Intelligence, Dexterity and Charisma, the player rolls 3d10 and adds 40 to the roll. Bryant Wilson who will be serving in Starfleet during the time portrayed in the Original Series. I decided to make a Human security officer named Lt.
Now if character A had a Strength of 55 and another had a Strength of 60, that would be close, but distinguished. While a lot of D&D characters could have a Strength of 16, it didn’t help much with the comparison side of the coin. I liked this type of statistics for a game based off of a franchise because another thing fans like to do is compare characters on the show (or even with other shows).
The FASA Star Trek Role Playing Game is based on a percentile (D100) system. References from the FASA game continue to show up including season two of Star Trek: Discovery and the IDW Star Trek comics in 2020.
Besides my Father’s introduction to Star Trek, the FASA game was one of the biggest influences in my Star Trek fandom. I was introduced to the game at the tail end of it’s run by some friends in high school and I remember eagerly awaiting the latest release of the new books and supplements. Star Trek: The Role Playing Game (note the space between role and playing in the name) by FASA was one of the first non-D&D games that I had the opportunity to play.
