Character Creation Challenge 2026 Day 24: Quantum Starfarer

This month I've created a character for Classic Traveller with its full life-path character creation system.  I've also created a character for Retro Sci-Fi Rules with its abbreviated method.  Now, I am going to use Quantum Starfarer.

 

Quantum Starfarer is in the Cepheus Engine family but it is a very stripped down version.  Character creation is even more bare-bones that it is with Retro Sci-Fi Rules.  In Quantum Starfarer, a character does not have Characteristics.  No UPP.  Instead, a character consists of seven skills, Stamina, Lifeblood and a Trait.

 

You have 5 points to divide between the skills:   Combat, Knowledge, Physical, Social, Space, Stealth and Technical.  

 

You derive Stamina and Lifeblood from your Physical Skill.

 

You choose your Trait from a list.  Easy.

 

Basic mechanic is 2d6 + Skill => Target Number
