During character generation, the +bulkstat command can be used to set a list of stats all at once, e.g.

+bulkstat Strength:2|Dexterity:3|Firearms:2|Faction:Cool Dudes|Path Rating:2

Please proofread +sheet afterward, for a couple reasons:

  • Typoing a | character may cause some values to be omitted. +bulkstat does not do sanity checks like "this stat's value should be a number", only "this stat exists".
  • Some stats are named differently than you would expect, generally to resolve duplicate names across multiple game lines.

Use +statsearch to check for names of stats. Some examples:

  • +statsearch Alternate Identity
  • +statsearch Library
  • +statsearch Time

Examples

Here are some common examples of how +bulkstat can be used. These are just examples; you can group stats however you want for this command.

Most of these just fill out your +sheet with zeroes, to make it look more like a paper form that you can fill in. You would then need to set non-zero values for the stats that you actually want, and then preferably remove the zeroes, e.g.

  • +clearstat Awareness

or

  • +bulkstat Awareness:|Brawl:

(For the latter method, note that there is nothing between the : and | characters, not even a 0.)

Attributes

Set all attributes to 2 (average):

+bulkstat Strength:2|Dexterity:2|Stamina:2|Manipulation:2|Charisma:2|Appearance:2|Perception:2|Intelligence:2|Wits:2

Abilities

For brevity, these lists only include common primary abilities. For a full list, use commands like:

  • +liststats primarytalents
  • +liststats secondarytalents
