Make It Up Yourself
If the players are interested in having their Twists reflect their innernatures
but don’t like our selection of abilities then it may be permissible
to simply take the abilities you want and then write in what about your
character prompted that mutation.
Buying Twisted Abilities
Twisted abilities have a cost (in Twisted Points), a description of how they
work in game terms, and a Trait which is the personality aspect that causes
you to evidence it. When the ability does damage, you will use the charts
below to determine what that damage number and type is, based on your
size (the theory being that the fire-breath of an elephant-sized dragon does
more damage than the flame-breath of a mosquito).
Making a Twisted Character
Here are the rules for making a character with Twist (or “Twisting” an
existing character).
1. Choose the size of the character in their “Twisted form.” This gives a
“basic” PHY for the character, meaning that if the character’s PHY is
10 this is what the numbers will be when the character is “grown” or
“shrunk.”
If the character’s PHY is higher or lower than 10, this is how you
compute your stats:
STR is modified normally: a character with an STR of 9 and Size
Big, the listed STR for Big is 15, but for this character, it’ll be 14.
BLD is estimated. The size-class gives a range and the player can
declare the character to be anywhere within that range. However:
if the character is lighter than normal, the player should generally
choose the lower range.
DP as listed is modified as the character’s normal DP is. If the
character has a 12 PHY (usually +4 DP: +2 for a 12 CON and +2
for a 12 BLD) and has 4pts of Toughness (a total of 18 DP) then
the character’s DP will be whatever the Size indicates +8.
2. Twisted characters are tougher than normal. Each 2pts that are spent
on Twists adds 1 DP automatically. This is in addition to any Twists
that specifically add DP. A character with 16pts spent on Twists gets
+8 DP, plus the additional DP caused by the Twist.
3. Calculate damage for any HTH Combat Twists.
1. Ranged Attacks are (usually) based on the size of the creature
throwing them. In this case the damage and type is listed with
the ability.
2. Hand-to-Hand attacks are given a damage based on Size as well.
This is the damage a character with a Normal PHY does with
