Prime Directive to LUGTrek
Conversion
by William F. Hostman
I will not go into the setting nor intended style of play issues in this treatise. That
I shall leave for a later essay.
Notes: All Prime Directive attributes will use the 3 letter PD
abbreviations in caps. LUG attributes will be abbreviated to three letters, with initial
caps, or fully spelled out.
Rounding up is suggested, except where noted.
Attributes
The following is a "best fit by attribute purpose" rather than racial levels.
LUGTrek to Prime Directive
| PD | LUGTrek | |
| STR Strength | Fit/Str *2 | |
| SPD Speed | Coord/React *2 | |
| LGC Logic | Int/Logic * 2 | |
| DIS Discipline | Fit/Vital + Pre/Wil | |
| GKN Gen. Knowledge | Int * 2 | |
| ACC Accuracy | Coord/Dex * 2 | |
| LDR Leadership | Pre/Emp * 2 | |
| INT Intuition | Int * 2 | |
| TEC Technical | Int * 2 | |
| PER Perception | Int/Per * 2 |
Prime Directive to LUGTrek
| LUGTrek | PD | |
| Fitness | (STR + DIS)/2 | |
| Strength | (STR/2) - Fitness | |
| Vitality | (DIS/2) - Fitness | |
| Coordination | (SPD+ACC)/2 | |
| Dexterity | (ACC/2) - Coordination | |
| Reaction | (Spd/2) - Coordination | |
| Intellect | (GKN+INT+TEC)/6 | |
| Logic | (LGC/2) - Intellect | |
| Perception | (PER/2) - Intellect | |
| Presence | (DIS + LDR)/4 | |
| Empathy | (LDR/2) - Presence | |
| Willpower | (DIS/2)- Presence | |
| Psionics | Special* |
*If character is a psionicist, use DIS/2, otherwise use DIS/5 (Round down)
In general, skills should convert by the following table:
| PD Level | 1 | 2-3 | 4-5 | 6-7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 |
| LUGTrek Level | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 |
Most PD skills will need specializations added. Apply as many
specializations as evidenced by the character's behavior.
When a LUGTrek skill has multiple correspondences, use the
lowest PD skill possessed for the base skill level, and treat
higher levels of skill in the others as additional levels of specializations.
When converting from LUGTrek to PD,
each appropriate skill's base level should be applied to all the comparable PD
skills, with appropriate specializations being raised 1 for one.
I'm working on a skill conversion list; will post later.
Weapons Conversions to LUGTrek
Repeater Phaser: as per phaser rifle, except 10 times power supply. In single shot mode,
fires as rifle. In Burst mode, may hit several targets with one shot, burning 5x power;
stream mode is "Wide Beam" stream fire.
Scatter Phaser: Just a triple power cell phaser designed solely for "Area
Effect"; always fires (at only normal power requirements) on a 15 degree arc, and may
be set for one to eight arcs in a single shot, each at normal cost. Ranges are about 1/2
those of a Phaser Rifle.
Phaser Grenades can be set for settings of 1-8, treat as 3d to hit, with skill of
(20-(range+setting number), which may be negative. Reusable, but not until recharged.
