I'll post the specific rules (such as human only) here.
Character Creation
Oct 6, 2019 7:14 pm
Race: Human, one free edge
Attributes: start d4s, five raises, none higher than d12 (Agility, Smarts, Spirit, Strength, Vigor)
Skills: 15 points. First point opens a skill at d4, 1 point for a raise, double for raises higher than the attribute rating
Hindrances: You can take one Major Hindrance for your hero and up to two Minor Hindrances. A Major Hindrance is worth 2 points, and Minor Hindrances are worth 1 point each. Your Hindrance points can then be spent to gain additional advantages for your character, as follows.
For 2 points you can:
• Raise an attribute one die type.
• Choose an Edge.
For 1 point you can:
• Gain another skill point.
• Gain additional money equal to your starting funds (if you start with £5, you gain an additional £5).
Gear: Next you need to purchase equipment. The world of Solomon Kane features many locales, from the Far East to the New World. Where your hero hails from determines exactly what currency he carries, but we use British pounds as the standard because Kane was an Englishman. A list of some common gear and weapons can be found in the next chapter (page 64). Every character begins the game with £5.

Currency
The standard unit of exchange used in The Savage World of Solomon Kane is the British Pound. The pound is divided up into 20 shillings, and each shilling is divided up into 12 pence. To keep money easy to handle we rounded up the prices of all the items on the equipment list to the nearest shilling (0.05 pounds), allowing you to keep track of your money in decimal format.

Review of Gerald Eskot
- Attributes - the 5 attributes start at d4s and you get 5 raises. It seems like you have 7 raises (3 d6s, and 2 d8s), so you must have spent the Hindrance points that way.
- Skills - you get 15 skill raises, I think you only spent 14
- Hindrances - okay, gives you 4 points - can be used for 2 Attribute raises, so that balances
- Edges - one free for being human
- Equipment - Flint and Steel is only 0.05, but a Grappling Hook is 0.5 instead of 0.1, so you overspent by 0.05 with no money remaining
eResult - I think you have one more skill raise, and one Edge, and you need to drop a tiny bit of equipment

Question on the hindrance "Young" - is this supposed to be an Edge? I don't see a downside to it.
Oct 8, 2019 4:49 pm
I think that NPCs would treat you as if you were inappropriately young, I.e., take your words at less than face value.
Oct 8, 2019 4:50 pm
Young (major)
Children are sometimes forced to go on dangerous adventures through unfortunate circumstances. Think carefully before you choose this Hindrance, however, for your
character starts at a signifi cant disadvantage.
Young heroes are generally 8–12 years old. They have only 3 points with which to adjust their attributes and 10 skill points. On the plus side, youths like these have a fair amount of luck. They draw one extra benny at the beginning of each game session. This is in addition to any additional bennies gained from such things as the Luck or Great Luck Edges.
If the character should live long enough to mature, the Hindrance doesn’t have to be bought off, he’s already paid the price for the Hindrance by starting at a disadvantage.
He stops getting the extra benny when he reaches 16 years of age however.

Got it. From the description, it looked like there were only positives (extra attributes, skills, and a benefit)
Oct 8, 2019 4:59 pm
Also, what's starting money?
Nevermind; I see it's 5 lbs.

Final question (hopefully) - with a firearm, how many rounds does a 'Shot w/ Powder' allow for? Is it 0.1£ per shot?
Oct 8, 2019 5:41 pm
I just read about ammo in the rules, and looks like it's pretty loose - essentially, GM's call, it seems like (e.g. the heros get in a gun fight, firing off several dozen rounds, the GM might rule that they've depleted half their ammo stockpile).
In any event, I just submitted Hugh Ashfield, a young nobleman from Nottinghamshire. I need to flesh-out the backstory a bit, but take a look, and let me know if it all looks kosher.
