Singular Fudge

The Premise

Is Fudge viable when it is restricted to 1dF and a five-level trait ladder?

Character Creation

Regardless of the method of character creation and the kinds of traits used, there are only three levels available for any trait: Above Average, Average, and Below Average.

One simple method is to allow two traits at Above Average for every one trait at Below Average. Any trait not listed is considered Average.

The Trait Levels

Far Above Average
Above Average
Average
Below Average
Far Below Average

The Die

The only rolling technique is 1dF, so the range is always –1, 0, +1, with a 33% chance of any given result. The only way for a Below Average trait to reach Above Average or Far Above Average performance is through GM-sanctioned modifiers or the expenditure of Fudge points.

N.B. These rules have not been playtested.
