(This is a basic draft, there may be a shinier and updated version later once I've gotten more familiar with Numenera
and have the time to create a shiny layout)

Character Creation
Refer to Numenera for the particulars. This will concentrate on the differences and novelties of character creation
relating to Destiny.

Characters are described as an [ADJECTIVE] [NOUN] who [VERBS].

For example, you might be...

A Charming Hunter who Is Touched by the Darkness.

A Scholarly Warlock who Lives in the Past.
A Brutal Titan who Is Bathed in Light.

Tiers correspond roughly to 4 levels in Destiny, so if you wanted to convert a character convert their levels into
character benefits (4 Pool, 1 Edge, 1 Effort, 1 Skill or combat training, Reduce Armour Cost by 1, 2 Recovery, Tier
level power).

Races
Human
Humans are descended from the survivors of the dark age of mankind. They are tough, resilient, tested survivors with
the heritage to have lived through a thousand battles and the fall from the golden age. Human statistics are unmodified.

Exo
The Exo are the remnants of war machines, built in another age to fight for humanity and since become self-
constructing when there is the material to do so. Each is an independent intelligence, as different as any human from
another. Exo have +2 Might, -1 Speed, -1 Intellect.

Awoken
The awoken survived beyond the Earth in the shattered remnants of orbiting colonies, secreted away in the asteroid belt
and hiding in the void between the stars. Something out there change them. Awoken have -1 Might, -1 Speed, +2
Intellect.

Ghosts
Ghosts are fragments of The Traveler, infused with its light, high powered artificial intelligences with personalities and
minds. Ghosts accompany Guardians, phasing in and out of physical existence when needed. Ghosts can operate
machinery, power up old devices, hack doorways and computers and can provide perspective and history.

A guardian without a ghost cannot respawn. A ghost without a guardian will seek a new person to resurrect and work
with.

Ghosts generate grenades and blades for their Guardian. Manifest vehicles. Operate ships and teleports and develop
other abilities over time.

Ghosts have their own personalities and power.

Ghosts start with:

Might: 4
Speed: 10
Intellect: 16
Effort: 1
Intellect Edge: 2
Recovery: +1
Manifest: Purchased patterns for vehicles can be manifested or deconstructed by a ghost. They can also host one
grenade or throwing knife use per hour.
Light: Ghosts can create light akin to a powerful flashlight.
Power Up: Ghosts can power up small devices for one Intellect Pool, vehicle scale devices for two Intellect Pool and
large scale devices for 3 Intellect Pool.
Ghosts are trained in: Astronomy, Biology, Botany, *Cryptarchaeology, Geography, Geology, History, Identifying,
Pilot*, Repairing.
Ghosts are Specialised in: Hacking*, Perception.
Ghosts can knock into someone for 1 damage.
Each tier that their Guardian goes up, their Ghost can do one of the following:
Add +4 to a stat Pool.
Add +1 to an Edge.
Add +1 to Effort.
Train or specialise a skill.
Add +2 to Recovery.

Respawning
Ghosts can resurrect you when you die. They have already done this once and so you start with a Resurrection Pool of
19. Each time you respawn you roll and if you get under your Resurrection Pool you are regenerated, but drop the pool
by 1. Every 4xp you earn increases your Resurrection Pool by +1, up to a maximum of 20.

A Note on Orbs of Light

Orbs of light are spawned by special abilities, a blessing of the light from The Traveler manifested by your ghost,
usually when your powers score a kill. Each orb of light restores a single point to any pool and decreases a recharge
time for a power by ten minutes.
Character Types
Titan
Brute force, masters of war, a powerful combination of strength and skill. Titans are the most heavily armoured and the

Currency
Glimmer is the main currency used amongst all groups. It is a programmable form of matter from the golden age which
can be figured in any number of ways, making it valuable to anyone and any thing.

Marks are faction currency, awarded for performing tasks on behalf of the various factions. They can be traded with
those factions. Marks cannot be exchanged for other currency, at least not legally.

Vanguard Marks are earned for official missions in defence of humanity.

with The Speaker and the Temple of the Traveler.

Materials
Spinmetal, Helium Filaments, Spirit Bloom and Relic Iron are special materials which can be gathered to trade for
Marks and/or glimmer. A single 'lot' of any of these materials is worth 4 glimmer in The City and ten can be traded for a
Mark. High level gear also requires these special materials to be upgraded.

Ascendant Energy and Ascendant Shards are garnered by destroying very powerful enemies or are found in the grandest
of treasure stores.

Weapon parts are garnered by breaking down weapons or recycling broken weapon materials.
Plasteel Plating is gained by breaking down heavy armour and other dense materials.

The Armoury
Virtually every weapon is unique, the legacy of customisations, heritage and millennia of strange scientific advances.
Basic starting weapons are just that basic with no real special qualities to speak of, but more advanced weapons
have greater capabilities and can be upgraded to exploit them.

Weapon types include:

Autorifle
Fusion Rifle
Hand Cannon
Machinegun
Pulse Rifle
Rocket Launcher
Scout Rifle
Shotgun
Sniper Rifle

Basic Weapons
Autorifle: Range: Medium, Damage 4, Clip 20, Burst Fire, Rapid Fire 2. Reload 1.
Fusion Rifle: Range: Short, Damage D6, Clip 4, Spread Shot, Damage type 1-2 Solar, 3-4 Spark, 5-6 Void. Reload 2.
Hand Cannon Range: Short, Damage 4, Clip 6. Reload 2.
Machinegun Range: Medium, Damage: 5, Clip 50, Rapid Fire 2 Reload 3.
Pulse Rifle Range: Short, Damage 2, Clip 15, Burst Fire. Reload 1.
Rocket Launcher Range: Medium, Damage 6, Clip 1, Radius 2m Reload 3.
Scout Rifle Range: Medium, Damage 5, Clip 15. Reload 1.
Shotgun Range: Short, Damage: 5, Clip 5, Spread Shot. Reload 3.
Sniper Rifle Range: Long, Damage: 5, Clip 4, Accurate. Reload 2.

Burst Fire: Expending three rounds gives +1 to hit and +1 to damage.

Rapid Fire: Rapid Fire expends up to five rounds for each number in Rapid Fire. Each 5 rounds spent can 'walk' damage
to an adjacent target (1m), or concentrate fire on a single target for +1 to hit and +1 to damage.
Spread Shot: Weapons with Spread Shot get +1 to hit.
Solar/Spark/Void Damage: Hitting a shield with non-matching damage does half damage.
Radius: The weapon is explosive, doing damage in that radius.
Accurate: The weapon provides +1 to hit to a roll.
Reload: The number of actions it takes to reload your weapon. If you stay still and do nothing but reload, that counts as
two actions. Reducing the reload time to zero allows you to reload and fire in the same instant albeit at +1 difficulty
level. Reducing reload time past zero allows instant reload and firing with no penalty.

Vehicles
Vehicles are treated as creatures, but allow those using them to move at high speed and to claim access to the
capabilities and bonuses that the vehicle provides, using its attacks and other capabilities as their own.

Sparrow
Sparrows are high speed hover bikes which can be summoned from your ship via your ghost and deconstructed in the
same way. Summoning and de-summoning a Sparrow takes two turns.
A basic sparrow is:
Level: 2 (6)
Health: 20
Damage: 2 (ram), 4 (turbo-ram)
Armour: 1 (hitting the rider instead of the bike is +1 difficulty level).
Movement: Medium (Long with turbo switched on).
Modifications: Activating the turbo requires a difficulty level 2 speed check. You do not lose Might pool for wearing
armour while riding your sparrow.

Uncommon Sparrows get one boost, rare Sparrows get two boosts, Legendary Sparrows get three boosts, Exotic
Sparrows get four boosts and a special ability that others lack.

Sparrow Boosts: Roll d10

Armour: 2 (hitting the rider instead of the bike is +2 difficulty levels).

fire from their twin rocket launchers.

Level 4 (12)
Health 40
Damage: 4 (ram), 6 (turbo-ram), Twin Rocket Launchers (Damage 7, 5m radius).
Armour: 3 (hitting the rider instead of the interceptor is +2 difficulty levels).

Health 40

level to hit. The Main Cannon can only fire every three turns, the Laser Array every two turns, the Shock grenades
every three turns, the Chaingun every turn.

Goliath Tank
Fast moving strike tanks, used by the Cabal, Goliath tanks blitzkreig the battlefield rapidly moving and laying down

arrays are, however, known on some ships.
