2D6 Multi-System Character Creation & Handling

Character creation and parsing is supported across all game systems. The parse_character tool extracts structured data from any character sheet file text or JSON. Below are the system-specific workflows.

2d6 Sci-Fi RPG (OGL/Cepheus Engine)

Character Sheet Parsing

parse_character(file_path)

Parses a character sheet file (text or JSON) and returns structured data: name, career, upp, characteristics (strength, dexterity, endurance, intellect, education, social), and skills array.

UPP Format

The Universal Personality Profile is an 8-character hex string:

A7B942-A
││││││ │
││││││ └── Social Standing (0–F)
│││││└──── Education (0–F)  
││││└───── Intellect (0–F)
│││└────── Endurance (0–F)
││└─────── Dexterity (0–F)
│└──────── Strength (0–F)
└───────── (reserved/age indicator)

Characteristic Bonuses

Career Paths

Look up careers with query_ogl_rules("navy", category: "careers"). Each career entry includes qualification, survival, advancement, skill tables, ranks, and mustering-out benefits.

Character Creation Workflow

1. Roll characteristics: Six roll_custom("2d6") calls
2. Choose a career: Query career options with query_ogl_rules(..., category: "careers")
3. Qualify: roll_2d6(characteristic_modifier, qualification_target)
4. Survive each term: roll_2d6(survival_modifier, survival_target)
5. Advance: roll_2d6(advancement_modifier, advancement_target) (optional)
6. Roll on skill tables: Use roll_table("Skill Table Name", "1d6")
7. Muster out: Roll on mustering-out benefits table
8. Buy equipment: Look up gear with query_ogl_rules(..., category: "equipment")

Skills

Skills have levels 0–4+. Level 0 = basic competence. Each level above 0 adds its value as a positive DM. Common skills: Admin, Advocate, Animals, Astrogation, Athletics, Broker, Carouse, Comms, Computers, Deception, Diplomat, Drive, Engineer, Explosives, Flyer, Gambler, Gunner, Gun Combat, Heavy Weapons, Investigate, Jack of All Trades, Language, Leadership, Mechanic, Medic, Melee, Navigation, Persuade, Pilot, Profession, Recon, Science, Seafarer, Stealth, Steward, Streetwise, Survival, Tactics, Vacc Suit, Zero-G.

2d6 Fantasy RPG (Dungeon World)

DW character creation uses classes and moves rather than UPP:

1. Choose a class: query_dw_rules("wizard", category: "classes") for class description, starting moves, gear, base HP, and damage
2. Roll stats: Assign array of scores (16, 15, 13, 12, 9, 8) to STR, DEX, CON, INT, WIS, CHA
3. Choose race: Each class lists race options with additional moves
4. Assign alignment: Each class provides alignment options that grant XP triggers
5. Choose bonds: Write connections to other party members
6. Select gear: From class-provided loadout and dungeon gear options — query_dw_rules("dungeon rations", category: "equipment") for details

Key Differences from 2d6 Sci-Fi

• No UPP — characteristics use standard 3-18 range with modifiers
• No career path system — single class with alignment and bonds
• HP is class-based (e.g., Wizard 4+CON, Fighter 10+CON)
• Damage is class die (d4 to d10), not weapon-based
• All resolution uses 2d6 + stat modifier, no skill levels

Percentile RPG (BRP/Call of Cthulhu)

BRP character creation uses percentile characteristics and skills:

1. Roll characteristics: query_brp_rules("characteristics", category: "characteristics") for stat definitions
2. Calculate derived stats: Hit points, damage bonus, idea/luck/know rolls — use query_brp_rules("derived", category: "characteristics")
3. Choose profession: query_brp_rules("soldier", category: "professions") for skill packages
4. Allocate skill points: Base chances from profession + personal interest points
5. Select equipment: query_brp_rules("sword", category: "weapons") or query_brp_rules("armor", category: "armor")

Resolution: roll_percentile(target) where target = skill percentage

d20 Fantasy RPG (5E-Compatible)

5E character creation uses the d20 system:

1. Generate ability scores: roll_custom("4d6") (drop lowest) six times, or use point buy/standard array
2. Choose species: query_5ecompatible_rules("elf", category: "rules") for traits
3. Choose class: query_5ecompatible_rules("fighter", category: "classes") for features, proficiencies, hit dice
4. Choose feats (if allowed): query_5ecompatible_rules("tough", category: "feats")
5. Select spells (if caster): query_5ecompatible_rules("fireball", category: "spells")

Resolution: roll_d20(modifier, target, advantage?, disadvantage?)

4E-Compatible RPG (Orcus)

Orcus character creation uses the d20 system with class traditions:

1. Choose class and tradition: query_orcus_rules("Commander", category: "classes") — each class has a tradition (role within the class)
2. Assign key abilities: Each class lists a primary key ability
3. Select trained skills: From class-provided list
4. Calculate defenses: AC, Fortitude, Reflex, Will — provided in class data
5. Choose feats: query_orcus_rules("Athame", category: "feats")

Resolution: roll_d20(modifier, target, advantage?, disadvantage?) — target is the relevant defense score
