The Kaerwyn God Test is a virtual curmudgeon of epic proportions. It's the most difficult part of the CS to fill out. It's also the most important part of the CS. The God Test measures a character's "Utility" in play. That is to say that the higher the score, the more 'useful' the character is. Many mistakenly assume that a high God Test Score (GTS) means a character is a strong fighter type. Again, a high GTS means the character has more use or options available to them. For example, a non-fighter shapeshifter will score often higher than a fighter character. Why? Shapeshifting is a multipurpose, multiuse talent, whereas fighting is a singularly focused talent.

Here, we are going to try to go through every GT question, answer, and give some advice on what we (The ops) expect and look for.

Before I begin, keep in mind that the numerical score is what's important here, and I mean this on a per question basis. You should look to each question individually. Point values do not necessarily hold the same weight across questions. That is to say that a point value answer in one question make not have the same weight as the point value answer of another question. When in doubt, score high. The ops will tell you when you can drop points, however scoring too low can cause a lot of problems with CS approval (Usually requiring you remove items or even skills).

The suggestions listed next to the answer are merely that - suggestions. They are not to be held in stone, and we often take these on a case-by-case basis. We are trying to give you an idea of reference of what the score should be. But don't specifically look for what your character has and take that score - it may or may not necessarily apply for them! Keep in mind that the god test was created so just about /any/ character, from /any/ time, place, or even RP system can be compared easily to any other Kaerwyn character.

For the majority of characters, you need to hit 30 or under. Hitting dead-on 30 is almost a sure fire way to get the ops to tear the CS apart (It's rare that a character is an actual /30/). If you are making a character for the first time, please note you will have to adhere to the Mundane Rule. There are some rare exceptions for the 30-limit rule. Unless you are a Veteran(+) player, you do not need to concern yourself with that.

Now for the questions themselves:

1. What is your character's race?

Fairly simple question and you're given a few different options here. This one can still be tricky so I will try to explain each answer:

• Humans and Humaniods: (0)pts. Basically what we're looking for here are "vanilla" or mundane entities that are very, very similiar to humans. This means you could make an alien species with the general human shape and still take this answer, but only if the character does not have any significant special or racial powers associated with their species. This would not include humanoids that have a naturally extended or long lived lifespan.

This is a work in progress, please bear with us.
