Blocks

The first and most important tool that makes Clattr diverse is its modular design. Each section of a character sheet is called a Block and can be added, removed, or replaced. This gives players the power to create a character sheet that supports their game and their world. Blocks are the most important asset to the Clattr system.

For example, Spellcasting is used to give players magical abilities in their fantastical worlds. You can easily add the Spellcasting Block to the player sheet. Players can still create unique and interesting characters without that component, but now they have a new block to build characters with if they choose.

Another example, in the Attributes block is Strength. In many scenarios, Strength can be a great asset. However, if you are gaming in a modern setting, where combat is dealt almost exclusively with firearms,  as a Gamemaster you may find that Strength is unnecessary and choose to remove it. From that point, you can reduce the amount of points players get to spend on Attributes, or even replace it with a driving Attribute to fit into your modern world. This would make it an Alternative Block.

As yet another example, you make the decision that your story will be told in futuristic space adventure world. You decide to create your own Blocks to be added to the game. You may include a Block that allows players to select their job on the space ship, such as doctor, engineer, or pilot. This new Block helps you bring new features to the game that support your story and your world. With Clattr, creating a system that supports the players and their GM is the main goal.
