Ultima in Unisystem (light)

(1/1)

Selganor [n/a]:
Auf RPG.net hat jemand mal die Idee aufgebracht Britannia (sprich die Welt der Ultima-Reihe) rollenspieltechnisch umzusetzen.

Mehrere Leute sind da bereits "aufgesprungen"

Inzwischen hat man sich wohl auf das Unisystem "geeinigt".

Gibt es ausser mir noch Fans der alten Reihe (ich denke da an Ultima IV-VI, wobei die fast 200 Jahre zwischen VI und VII noch am Besten als Setting sein duerften) die daran "mitwerkeln" wollen?

Evtl. findet sich ja auch auf Hessenstein eine "Testrunde"

Haukrinn:
Generelles Interesse daran hätte ich schon. Ich habe mir mal die rpgnet-Diskussion angesehen. Ich werde einfach mal noch ein Weilchen abwarten und schauen, wie sich das entwickelt. Eventuell steige ich da noch mit ein.

PS:  :d für eine Ultima-Unisystem Runde in Hessenstein

Selganor [n/a]:
Hier hat sich mal jemand eine Muehe gemacht und die Sprueche von U6 "konvertiert"
I finally got off my butt and did a Unisystem conversion of the spell list from Ultima 6 (I think). It's very simple, and all the combat spells of a given circle are now basically the same except aesthetically. I have to work out the Mana (aka Essence) costs, but I think a First Circle spell would cost 1, a Second would cost 2, and so on, with Essence calculated based on (Willpower + Sorcery) x 10 or something. Suggestions?

Anyway, here's the spell list:

Selganor [n/a]:
Principles->Attributes:

In the Original System Truth=Int, Love=Dex, Courage=Str, so just add another "fitting" attribute to each virtue.

STR in Ultima would influence Health (i.e. Unisystem->Con)
INT in Ultima would influence Mana (i.e. Unisystem->Willpower)
That would leave Per for Love (this would help noticing anything that is "wrong")

Str and Con would be influenced by Courage
Dex and Per would be influenced by Love
Int and Willpower would be influenced by Truth

Hier noch eine Idee zur Attributsverteilung:

Die Online-Version des Virtues-Test der Zigeunerin

If you choose a Virtue that maps to only 1 Principle, you get 2 points each in the two related attributes. So choosing Valor (Courage) gets you 2 points of Str and 2 points of Con.

If you choose a Virtue that's a combination of 2 Principles, you get 1 point each in the 4 related attributes. Choosing Justice (Truth tempered by Love) gets you +1 in Dex, Per, Int, and Willpower.

Spirituality is a tricky one, as it's the combination of all 3 Principles. I'd say give them 4 points, allocated one at a time, and each time it has to go into the lowest attribute. The idea here is that Spiritual characters are supposed to be well-rounded. Giving +1 to each attribute like the computer game would mean it'd be unbalanced unless you made every virtue worth 6 points. This is probably too much (though I won't know until I consult a Unisystem book) and it's also hard to distribute 6 points evenly for the virtues that affect 4 attributes.

For Humility I'd say give around 2 points wherever the player wants, and a helping of Drama Points to compensate for the lower stats.

Koennte sein dass man evtl. noch einen Punkt von jedem Attribut abziehen muss um das Ergebnis in der 1-6 Skala zu halten, aber das muesste man mal testen.
