Temporary Upgrade / Downgrade Chart

Temporary Upgrade / Downgrade Chart

Use these charts if you wish to upgrade or downgrade a wrestler during a fight card. You may want different percentages than what is recommended, so I have included a bunch of different rolls with their percentages so you can customize your charts accordingly. You would roll for each wrestler on a fight card to see if they will be getting an upgrade / downgrade on that fight card.

The first chart is the percentages of rolling the numbers on the left, using TWO dice. I suggest you use the “2.78%” roll, but you may want to have a HIGHER percentage:

ROLL	Percentage
2	2.78
2, & 12	5.56
2 & 3	8.33
2 - 3, & 12	11.11
2 - 3, & 11	13.89
2 - 4	16.67
2 - 4, & 12	19.44

If you want a LOWER percentage, here's the rolls for having a ONE PERCENT chance (in two rolls of TWO dice):

1st ROLL	Percentage
2	2.78

2nd ROLL	Percentage
2 - 5, & 11, 12	1.00

Okay, once you have a wrestler to upgrade, determine whether it is an upgrade or a downgrade (this is 50% chance either way):

Roll	Up / Down
2 - 6, & 12	Upgrade
7 - 11	Downgrade

And finally, the Upgrade and Downgrade charts:

UPGRADE:

Roll	Upgrade	Result
2	Ring	Better by 1, up to an "A"
3	PIN / Cage	Lower by 1, down to a "PIN 4 (1)" or "Cage 1"
4	Turnbuckle	Better by 1, up to an "A"
5	Agility	Better by 1, to a "-5"
6	Deathjump	Better by 1, up to an "A"
7	Ropes	Better by 1, up to an "A"
8	Ring	Better by 1, up to an "A"
9	Power	Better by 1, to a "-5"
10	Disqualification	Lower by 1, down to a "2"
11	PIN / Cage	Lower by 1, down to a "PIN 4 (1)" or "Cage 1"
12	Turnbuckle	Better by 1, up to an "A"

DOWNGRADE:

Roll	Downgrade	Result
2	Ring	Worse by 1, down to an "C"
3	PIN / Cage	Higher by 1, up to a "PIN 9 (6)" or "Cage 6"
4	Turnbuckle	Worse by 1, down to an "C"
5	Agility	Worse by 1, to a "+5"
6	Deathjump	Worse by 1, down to an "C"
7	Ropes	Worse by 1, down to an "C"
8	Ring	Worse by 1, down to an "C"
9	Power	Worse by 1, to a "+5"
10	Disqualification	Higher by 1, up to a "7"
11	PIN / Cage	Higher by 1, up to a "PIN 9 (6)" or "Cage 6"
12	Turnbuckle	Worse by 1, down to an "C"

Other things to consider:

What if you already have the best rating on a rolled upgrade, or worst on a downgrade? Do you reroll or do you not do anything for the upgrade/downgrade? May I suggest you do indeed REROLL!

What about having MORE THAN ONE upgrade/downgrade for a wrestler? That's up to you, Promoter! I'd suggest one is more than enough!

As for what would explain the proposed upgrade/downgrade? I think Johnny V explained it best when Greg Valentine & Brutus Beefcake lost the WWF Tag Belts back in the '80s: “Greg had the flu, and Brutus had jet lag,” or something like that. You can say the wrestler didn't get enough sleep the night before, ate some bad sushi, had a slight sprain, or was experiencing a bad headache! You can use whatever reason you want! For a positive upgrade, you can say the wrestler had trained extra-hard that week, or was having a lucky day or lucky week, or had just received great news that made them feel great and got their adrenaline flowing!

What about PERMANENT changes to cards at the end of a federation's “year”? Yes, you can use these charts if you want. Especially if you want to have more control over who should / does get an official change in playing cards in a federation's year (not the one you are about to go into, but a card that will be getting changes EVENTUALLY further down the line). For example: Omega gets quite a HARD downgrade in 2087. You may want to ease him into it a bit if you are using an earlier than 2087 card.

Oh, I forgot to add this:

How do you write temporary stats on cards without ruining the playing cards?

ANSWER: With blanks of the Stats section, like these:

docs.google.com/document/d/1yscExGO33Aa0rPvsH0a_Il9Hb_xmdQI-zadMfJthgms/edit?usp=sharing

Just print these up, cut them apart, and write in pencil the stats and place them over the card!

I hope the blanks look good? I don't have a comp with a printer just yet!

Looks pretty cool.
