Random BASH characters

Hi - I've created a first attempt at some random character generation tables (based on an old set of homebrew supers game we used to play) which I thought I'd share in case anyone was interested.
It is fairly rough as it's the first cut - so there are probably quite a few errors in it.
The basis idea is that the character rolls a 'theme' for their powers (called Power Field) and then can roll powers from this power field or from more generic tables.
I've rolled a few characters and some come out quite good and some a little odd, but as I quite like rolling random characters it fills a few spare minutes.

Well I thought I'd added an attachment to the previous message, and when I click on 'edit' it says there is an attachment there, but I can't see it - can anyone else?
Edit: I checked and it is a .zip file which I think is one of the allowed extensions?

No I can't see any file...
MediaFire are good if you need a host to put it on and link to.
All the best

Thanks - I will put a caveat in though - I have played BASH 1st Edition a few years ago but not yet BASH UE, so I might have lots of things wrong in it.

Taking a look at it now.
And yes, there is no file hosting here
If enough people want such a thing, maybe it could be done though.

Looks cool. The "Power Fields" thing is similar to the "Power Suites" that I am using for making random characters in Awesome Power.

Cheers - when's Awesome Power going to be avaliable? (If I am right in thinking it's the BASh expansion supplement)

Well it's next in my Queue. I'm mostly done with the Legends of Steel manuscript now, and will start on Awesome Powers when it's done.

Cool, looks like you put a lot of effort into it Nightstoat.

Cheers - I was hoping to have version 2 of it by now as I've been on holiday for 2 weeks and meant to take it with me to role a few characters to test it but I forgot to pack it...
I'll experiment over the next couple of weeks and see how sensible (or not) the characters turn out and hopefully refine it a little.
