Adding "Status and Favors" as in Space 1889

[bennage]

I'm creating characters for a the Red Sands - Space 1889 campaign setting.
So far, I've been able to add the custom bits I need: items, edges, hindrances, etc.
However, I'm stumbling over how to add "status".

Status is really just a value between 1 and 5. It maps to:

• Underclass
• Working Class
• Middle Class
• Upper Class
• Elite

Some edges/hindrances give +/- to the value.

How can I add this to characters?
(If it's in the documentation and I missed it, please point me in the right direction).

thanks,
bennage

You can add it as a Derived Trait in the Editor.

So it doesn't actually have to derive from anything then? I'll give it a shot. Thanks.

Out of curiosity, did this work for you? I have been working on a datafile for Gaslight with similar class structure: lower, middle and upper. I have been unable to get a Derived Trait to work with text. For now, I just have values of:

lower = 0
middle = 1
upper = 2

Would love to replace that with text

Cheers

I'll check about this one, but I don't think a text substitution is possible.

Yeah, I was not able to replace it with text.
