Character Creation
Each character starts off with 3 hits to the body and 1 hit per location.
Each character has 5 points to spend on skills, all skills and character classes are there as a tool to help you create your character, for descriptions of the skills go to the skill lists page
Creating your Character
First pick a race for your character then pick a character class, there is a bonus skill/ ability for each class.
All skills unless stated cost 1 point for each skill in your chosen character class list, however you can purchase skills not on the list, these cost double the normal cost. For descriptions on each character class go to the character classes page
E.g. – A warrior also wishes to pick Poison Lore, this will cost him 2 skill points where as it will only cost a rogue 1 skill point.
This rule is to allow players more choice to create their own individual characters, you can for example play a warrior priest, a rogue mage or a barbarian druid, however you will start with less skills/knowledge than just staying in you chosen class skills.
All skills and rules are guidelines and are not set in stone.
Weapons and armour use is limited to your own ability to use them, Mage’s and Druids however must not wear metal armour or carry weapons that are more than 30% Metal as Iron will disrupt their power. (If carrying a lot of metal they must relieve themselves of it before attempting to use their spells/abilities, if not a nasty shock may occur)
Once you have created a character all you need is a name and a bit of background. Remember all new Characters have no fame or titles; these are earned during the game. Magic etc can be found on a separate page
