History - Genii-Locorum/aov GitHub Wiki

History items are currently used on Characters (and not on NPCs, Ships or Farms) . A History item can be dragged and dropped on to a character sheet or onto a Roll Table as part of Character Creation.

To create a History item go to the Items Directory

Click on Create item

i. Give the History item a name

ii. Select the type "History"

On the 'Details' tab add the following

i. Add the default year of the history event

ii. Add any reputation bonus the History item gives - this can be a fixed value or a dice roll

iii. If the history event causes the ancestor's death tick the "Died" box

iv. Drag and drop any skills, passions or equipment the history item gives the recipient. When adding Skills and Passions you will be asked to add the bonus. For passions if you leave the box blank it will use a starting score of 60% or a +10% bonus.

v. You can also add any follow on History Table rolls. When adding a History Table you will need to say which person (grandparent, parent or character) the history roll applies to. This is important as the roll will check that that person is still alive (if marked as deceased it will skip the roll)

You can enter a description of the history or add other notes on the "Description" tab. This will be displayed on the face of the character sheet.

A GM can add additional notes on the "GM Tab" - this is only visible to GMs
