Classic Traveller Character Generator

[ffilz]

A player just used this to generate a Belter. The survival roll is wrong. It does 2D+1 vs 5 instead of 2D+Terms vs 9...

I REALLY need to take the time to work on integrating this into my version and adding various options (especially an option for my alternate skill tables).

It looks like my mindspring web site will soon die. Fortunately github also has web pages and I have cloned my website there:

The belter also doesn't age...they remain at 22 whether they serve one term or twenty.

I will take a look at this. Thanks for pointing this stuff out.

Fixed it. The issue was a misplaced curly bracket. However instead of checking age, I changed it to assign this.terms to dm directly.

    checkSurvival: function () {
        var dm = 0;
        var sv = roll(2);
		dm = this.terms;
        this.verboseHistory('Survival roll ' + sv + ' + ' + dm + ' vs ' + 5);
        if ((sv + dm) >= 5) {
            return true;
        } else {
            return false;
        }
    },

        } else {
            return false;
        }
    },

It should still compare against 9 not 5...

Dang it missed that.

OK it is fixed now

    checkSurvival: function () {
        var dm = 0;
        var sv = roll(2);
	dm = this.terms;
        this.verboseHistory('Survival roll ' + sv + ' + ' + dm + ' vs ' + 9);
        if ((sv + dm) >= 9) {
            return true;
        } else {
            return false;
        }
    },

Question what is the point of this code. I could only find calls to check Survival not to survivalThrow or survivalDM

    survivalThrow: 9,
    survivalDM: function (attributes) {
        var dm = 0;
        return dm;
    },

I mean, at Int 3 I don't think you can complete the paperwork. That's almost at the level where you make an X because you can't spell your name. Int 2 would probably be full on mental incompetence (but otherwise functional). Int 1 would be functional retardation.

There probably should be minimum set for command (CT ranks 5 and up, maybe rank 4), maybe Int 8. Again, I know that plenty of people think the brass must have Int 3, but it's a matter of hidebound thinking rather than actual stupidity. They'd at least have to be clever and manipulative to get that far. And capable of filling out paperwork.
