FASA Trek to LUG Trek Conversion
Rules
by Allen Shock
This is a little system I devised to convert characters from FASA's
old Star Trek role-playing game to the new one by Last Unicorn. It seems to produce fairly
accurate characters, or at least reasonable ones. Any suggestions for improvement would be
most welcome.
BASIC CONVERSION FORMULA:
ST (FASA) score /20, rounded up (rounded down for PSI) = ST (LUG) rating.
| FASATrek Attribute | - | LUGTrek Attribute |
| STR | - | Fitness/Strength* |
| END | - | Fitness/Vitality* |
| INT | - | Intellect |
| DEX | - | Coordination |
| CHA | - | Presence |
| PSI | - | Psi |
* Figure both, if they are the same, give this score as the overall
fitness rating. Otherwise, the lower becomes the Fitness score, and the difference between
the two becomes the appropriate Edge.
LUC is not used, as LUGTrek characters get Courage Points. If desired, you could give
characters with 70-89 LUC an extra Courage point and characters with LUC of 90-00 2 extra.
SKILLS
Skills are converted using the same formula as above. Skills rated at less than 20 FASA
points are dropped.
