Often called "Stats," because of their phenomenal mathematical
abilities, these beings look virtually identical to humans even
though they are actually D-Bees from another dimension. The Statisti
place personal and clan honour above all else in their lives. A
renegade, honourless Statisti is always killed on site.
Statisti
Alignment: Most tend toward the honourable alignments of
Principled Good, Unprincipled Selfish, and Aberrant Evil. Honourless
renegades can be any alignment
Attributes: The number of dice rolled is as designated:
I.Q.: 3D6+6, M.E.: 4D6, M.A.: 3D6, P.S.:
3D6, P.P.: 3D6, P.E.: 4D6, P.B.: 3D6,
SPD.: 3D6
Hit Points: P.E. plus 1D6 per level
S.D.C.: 30 in addition to any bonuses gained from O.C.C. and
skills.
Horror Factor: None
P.P.E.: 4D6
Natural Abilities: Exceptional mathematics (see skills), high
physical and mental endurance, superior sense of hearing equal to
cybernetic amplified hearing (see skills), and superior tactile sense
(see skills).
Bonuses: +3 to initiative, +1 to parry, +2 to dodge, and +2 to
save vs. Horror Factor in addition to those bonuses gained from
attributes, O.C.C., and skills.
Magic: By O.C.C.
Psionics: None
O.C.C.: Any O.C.C. (except Glitter Boy), including equivalents
to the CS Military. However, while the Statisti are not necessarily
opposed to bionics and cybernetics, they never go for more than
partial conversion. Note: reduce the number of O.C.C. Related
skills by one-half to reflect the time spent honing the character's
natural abilities.
Skills of Note: Speaks and is literate in Statisti at 98%,
speaks one additional language at 90%, plus select one additional
W.P.
- Exceptional Mathematics: A natural ability to
automatically understand and perform advanced mathematics in one's
mind with the accuracy and speed of a calculating machine. This
includes simple addition, subtraction, multiplication, division,
fractions, percentages, algebra, geometry, calculus, statistics,
and so on. Base Skill: 80% +4% per each level of
experience.
- Remember Numbers: Part of their phenomenal mathematics
skill is the ability to picture and remember numbers instantly and
permanently. This includes phone numbers, addresses, combination
lock sequences, and so on. The total recall ability is restricted
exclusively to numbers. Base Skill: 76% +4% per additional
level of experience. A failed roll means the number is
forgotten.
- Additional Bonuses: Mathematical: +10% Cryptography,
+5% Pick Locks, +5% Locksmith, +10% Chemistry, and +10% Chemistry:
Analytical.
- Estimate Distance of a Sound: 60% +5% per level of
proficiency.
- Estimate Speed of Sound's Approach or Departure: 50%
+5% per level.
- Recognize a Sound Through Intense Concentration: 40%
+5% per level of experience.
- Imitate a Voice: 35% +5% per level of experience.
- Additional Bonuses: Superior Sense of Touch: +10% to
skills that require a delicate, light touch. For example:
Demolitions, Pick Pocket, Pick Lock, Palming, etc.
Average Life Span: 150 years.
Habitat: Can be found anywhere. Considered an alien or D-Bee
on RIFTS Earth.
Enemies: Non per se. May associate with anyone.
Allies: Non per se. May associate with anyone.
Physical Appearance: These D-Bees are virtually identical to
humans. While their skin colour tends to be more ashen in shade, the
most obvious difference between Statisti and Humans is the fact that
the Statisti have an additional opposable thumb on each hand.
Size: 6ft (1.82m) plus 1D6 inches.
Weight: 150 to 300lbs (68 to 136kg).
