USING DWAITAS ROLEPLAYING GAME STATS FOR FALLOUT BUILDS.

[definativewillg]

Recently used DWAITAS Stats fo my friends over Fallout Who Discord, someone asked about a 10th Build so i usd Siskoids from siskoid.blogspot.com/2014/03/the-tenth-doctor-character-sheet.html,
Looking at both systems, it was a straight forward conversion.

DWAITAS system by Cubicle 7 uses six Attributes: Awareness Coordination , Ingenuity , Presence , Resolve , Strength

Fallouts SPECIAL system uses 7 Strength, Perception, Endurance, Charisma, Intelligence, Agility and Luck.



10th DOCTOR'S SPECIAL STATS would be

Strength 3
Awareness/ Perception 4
Coordination/Agility 4
Ingenuity/Intelligence 9
Presence/Charisma 4
Resolve/ Endurance 5

Any leftover points, add to Luck.

Ill admit i find the Resolve/ Endurance comparison a bit of a questionable stat but as both involve Determination to overcome mental and physical ordeals it kinda works.

I don't think the conversion is as straight forward as you think. DWAITAS/VORTEX attributes are on a 1-6 scale (for humans) while FALLOUT/SPECIAL uses a 4-10 scale. The Doctor's Ingenuity of 9 means that he is much clever than any unmodified human being., where a 9 Intelligence in SPECIAL just makes him a smart human, but not one of the smartest. His Strength of 3 makes him as strong as the average human in DW, but 3 Strength is below the minimum in Fallout. Most of his other stats are above average in DW, but at or near the minimums on Fallout.  I think you need to skew the attributes to get a better fit.  I did a rough table below as an example. It would probably need to be tweaked a little after looking at animal and creature stats (I think SPECIAL caps out at 12 while DW goes higher, but not much for existing animals (14), so it might go 3:2 or 3:1 above a certain point. Still below you give you an idea of what I mean.

Oh, and you might want to average Strength and resolve for Endurance so that big tough characters in DW will be so in FALLOUT

VORTEX    SPECIAL

1                 4

2                 5

3                 7

4                 8

5                 9

  6                 10

_____________

  7                 11

  8                 13

  9                 14

  10               15

That would give you a conversion of:
Strength 7
Awareness/ Perception 8
Coordination/Agility 8
Ingenuity/Intelligence 14
Presence/Charisma 8
Resolve/ Endurance 9

Which I think is a closer fit.
