  1. I have been looking for a system that I can use for a game I have been toying with for some time. I grabbed the BRP book and then got it for FG2. Looking at the Resistance Table with regards to Radiation and Poison I discovered something. A person with high CON is more likely to succumb to Radiation poisoning than someone with lower CON. For example: Rad of 5 (Active characteristic) vs some poor sod with a CON of 8. The poor sob will have 35% chance of avoiding the effects, but someone with a CON of 3 will have 60% chance of resisting. Am I reading this correctly? I reread and reread the rules and figured that I was incorrect. The Active Characteristic is something trying to do something to the Passive. The roll is to see if the effect (radiation) will be effective. I had to do a rethink of my initial impressions. The Active is the effective chance of doing what it wills against the Passive. I need to make that clear to my future group of players. From my initial readings, I thought that the player needs to make the roll to resist the effect. Their chance looked better if their CON was lower. That was a mistake it seems from how the table was written. Total mindset change. I welcome it. I like the BRP system. Spent several months deciding to buy it when in the past I dropped money on a system I never used. I played a little of Call of Cthulu when I could find players to try it. A very robust system. I apologize for writing a seemingly ill conceived posting but I hope other find it useful.
