Character Creation

Step 1. Determine Ability Scores

Method I. Roll 3d6 and reroll any 1’s. Do this 7 times total and distribute the results amongst your ability scores in any order: Charisma (CHA), Perception (PER), Precision (PRC), Reflex (REF), Strength (STR), Vitality (VIT) and Wisdom (WIS). Check the table below to determine the ability score modifier for each.

Method II. Take the numbers: 7, 9, 11, 11, 13, 13, and 15 then distribute them amongst your ability scores in any order: Charisma (CHA), Perception (PER), Precision (PRC), Reflex (REF), Strength (STR), Vitality (VIT) and Wisdom (WIS). Check the table below to determine the ability score modifier for each.

Step 2. Choose a Race

There are 8 races to choose from: Birdfolk, Dwarf, Elf, Anuran, Halfling, Human, Lacertian, and Orc. See the section on Races and increase your ability scores and add the racial traits given to you by your race.

Step 3. Calculate Other Statistics

Each of your ability scores determines some other statistic about your character. See the Ability Score section to see how to calculate these scores. Your movement is 30ft per turn.

Step 4. Choose Starting Skills

When you begin your adventuring, you have six starting skills (eight if you are an elf). These starting skills can be any from the list in the Skills section. The skill score of your starting skills is 10 with a +0 skill modifier. All other skills have a skill score of 0, with a -4 skill modifier.

Step 5. Starting Gold and Equipment

To determine your starting gold, use your Charisma score + 1d6 (reroll 1s) and multiply the result by 10. In addition to this, you receive clothing, a backpack, 4 rations, and a full waterskin. See the Equipment chapter to see what equipment you would like to buy and the prices. If you buy incense or spell scrolls, you can immediately memorize spells, provided that you have the appropriate skills.

Step 6. Choose Powers

You may start with as many powers as you can afford, and that you meet the requirements for. See the Powers section for details on the powers you can take.

Step 7. Choose Your Languages

You know common, any languages granted by your race, and additional languages equal to your WIS modifier, if positive. You also know an additional language if you start with the linguistics skill.
