Chapter 2: Body
This chapter is concerned with anthropometry
(physical measures of the body), such as height
and weight, including genitalia, as well as allergies,
intoxication, and diseases affecting the body. The
contents of this chapter are listed under 4 categories:
Standard Features, Sexual Features, Rare Features,
and Allergies, Intoxication, and Disease.
Perhaps the most frequently used physical
measure is Life Points (LP) and Body Part Points
(BPP), which are numeric representations of consciousness,
energy, and life, as well as the ability to
withstand or sustain damage. LP were first introduced
regarding races in Chapter 1: Race and Gender.
LP will also be adjusted by Strength, Health, and
Drive in Chapter 3: Abilities. LP and BPP are more
appropriately covered in detail in Chapter 10: Combat.
If generating a new character, then progress
through this chapter topic by topic to determine
and record information concerning the body of a
character. Information including and beyond Rare
Features may be relevant to a character’s body in a
gaming session, but not character creation.

Standard Features
Each of the standard features must be determined
randomly for each character.
Age
To determine the age of a character, roll according
to the formula in the table below. Notice
that the absolute value of the result is taken, so it is
impossible to have a negative age. It is possible to
role-play an infant or venerable character, as well as
young adult. The Aedile may allow a player to choose
the age of their character, but random is recommended.
Consider the race of the character and
consult the table below:
