XPG™ to Active Exploits Conversion Notes for converting characters from Deep7's XPG System.
The following information should assist in moving characters from Deep7’s XPG™ games to Active Exploits Diceless Roleplaying.
Abilities
Stats in the XPG games must be converted to abilities. First determine the abilities to which stats correspond. If one is listed as non-existent, use your best judgement.
AE Ability | | XPG Stat | | fitness | | average of strength, dexterity, and agility | | awareness | | perception | | creativity | | non-existent | | reasoning | | intelligence | | influence | | perception | | special abilities | | most likely non-existent | |
Some flairs may also be applied at the director’s discretion.
AE Flair | | XPG Stat | | fitness: muscle | | strength | | fitness: dexterity | | dexterity | | fitness: agility | | agility | |
Next, consult the table below to determine the relevant ratings for each ability. The Discipline aspect is determined by the willpower stat and luck is determined by destiny.
XPG Rating | | Ability | | Special Ability | | Aspect | | 1-2 | | 0 | | 0 | | 1 | | 3-4 | | +1 | | +1 | | 2 | | 5 | | +2 | | +1 | | 3 | | 6 | | +2 | | +2 | | 4 | |
Skills
Skill descriptions can either remain the same or be consolidated into skills from the AE core rules. Consult the table below to determine skill ratings.
XPG Rating | | AE Rating | | 1 | | unskilled | | 2-3 | | novice | | 4 | | proficient | | 5+ | | expert | |
