The following information should assist in moving characters from Time Lord to Active Exploits Diceless Roleplaying. Time Lord is a roleplaying game based on the BBC television series Doctor Who®. It was written by Ian Marsh and Peter Darvill-Evans, and originally published in 1991. It has since been made available as a free PDF file and, with the authors’ permission, can be found at: http://www.pigames.net/timelord.php .

Some of Time Lord’s special abilities can also be converted to AE’s gimmicks. New gimmicks are also listed after the table below.   Time Lord Special Ability     AE Gimmick     special immunity     immunity     regenerative powers     metamorphic regeneration     quick recovery     regeneration*     pain resistance     tolerance to pain     weakness**     vulnerability     all robot characters***     inexhaustible energy   * See The Shaded Veil. ** Weakness may be found with a character’s description, but it is not a normal ability. *** All robot characters should possess the inexhaustible energy gimmick.

New Gimmicks Metamorphic Regeneration
The character’s body undergoes a cellular metamorphosis which repairs all injuries. It occurs when the number of injuries sustained by the character is beyond incapacitated by no more than his current discipline rating. Inexhaustible Energy
The character does not tire or gain fatigue. This may not be used by humanoid or non-robotic characters—it is intended for robots only.
