Anyway, the source book is excellent for setting the stage; however, I find the Storytelling RPG System absolutely horrific.
Dice Pools, pages and pages of rule sets and combinations of statistics + skills + props + equipment, and just a general distaste of trying to run a game with their rules. Nice setting, but the ruleset just doesn't seem to flow like BRP.
My Question is this:
Has anyone come up with what the standard Stats would be for children? Things like Strength, Size, Intelligence and skill bases for things like Brawling, Education, etc? I'd really like to run this setting, but would like to use BRP/Call of Cthulhu as my RPG Engine of Choice.
Any pointers would be helpful and very much appreciated.
Thanks!

I haven't done anything like you're asking. Is this something like a 'young Van Helsing' type rpg? I don't see children having a large skill base unless it's about very precocious or talented kids. It would seem that a 100 year old vampire would be able to make a quick meal of any one of the characters unless you have some rather clever players.
One person suggested, in the "Vampires that don't suck" thread that each dot in character skills should represent 5%. I think each dot should represent 10%. If I weren't so busy, I would dig out the FUDGE, Mythic convertions for traits, which would probably help you convert them over to BRP.
