Character Generation

Mar 30, 2021 4:06 pm
The Character sheet is here. Save a copy to your own drive or computer, then upload the link the "custom" character sheet in GP.

Use the roll 3d6 in Order rules for Character creation found in the ACKS Core Rules.

Roll up five stat blocks, pick the two you like best and make full character sheets for those two. Discard the rest.

The two characters will be your Primary and backup character. Your characters will know each other (and presumably be related or associated somehow) and your Primary will automatically start with a Will leaving all of your possessions to your backup and vice-versa. You can change this later, see post here.

AFTER a class has been chosen you may reassign stats to your prime requisites at at 2-for-1 cost, but you may not reduce any stat below 8 by doing so. More info in the core rules.

Classes can be taken from either the Core Rules or the Player's Companion. I don't have access to Heroic Fantasy or Barbarians.
[ +- ] Notes on Stats
If your primary becomes engaged in some kind of lengthy downtime, like magical experimentation, or prison, you may play with your backup in the interim.

It is always a joy (not) to go back to old-school character attributes... These guys would all have issues just being farmers and will definitely struggle at being an adventurer and will never be heroic ;) but if that is what we are to play okay.

Wow that first set looks nice but not sure which one will be your second and we are only supposed to make 5 sets not 6:

Let's give this a roll.

Set 5 certainly needs to be developed
Str 11, Dex, 10, Con 14, Int 10, Wis 15, Cha 14

Set 3 would probably be the other set.
Str 12, Dex 16, Con 8 (ouch), Int 12, Wis 15, Cha 11

Hey ToDream looking at the Guidelines the Order is Strength, Intelligence, Wisdom, Dexterity, Constitution, Charisma as found on page 16 and referenced on page 15. Thus your sets would have looked like this arranged in your slightly different order.
[ +- ] Set 1
[ +- ] Set 2
[ +- ] Set 3
[ +- ] Set 4
[ +- ] Set 5
So that makes your Set 3 a bit nicer actually

DeJoker is correct. Good catch.

Whelp. Botched that. We'll just call that Set #1 and pretend I didn't goof it. EDIT: Also, missing a stat in Set #1, so adding in that last 3d6.

Set #1: STR 7 INT 14 WIS 12 DEX 15 CON 11 CHA 12

Set #2: STR 13 INT 8 WIS 7 DEX 17 CON 4 CHA 12

Set #3: STR 10 INT 15 WIS 10 DEX 8 CON 13 CHA 13

Set #4: STR 10 INT 8 WIS 12 DEX 13 CON 8 CHA 16

Set #5: STR 13 INT 8 WIS 8 DEX 8 CON 11 CHA 10

Set #1 & Set #3 look to be my winners.

Sorry, moving slow as this is my first game on this board. Trying to figure all this out. Been on Rpol for over 10 years. Looks like I'll be going with the BOLDED sets.

And can I just throw out a vote for starting as Adventurer-level? I've been 1st level in these kinds of games a hundred times. ACKS is not a merciful system at all.

Where did you make these rolls -- they are all part of your modifiable post?
Apr 5, 2021 7:43 am
Apparently I'm an idiot that didn't realize we could roll in the thread. So I used the Tools tab. I do have screenshots of it. Sorry, Rpol lets the GM see rolls made by anyone in the game so wasn't sure how they transferred over. Now I know to open up the Advanced Tab for posts. I did have the tab still open so I screenshotted them. If that still makes people uncomfortable, I can reroll them.

Actually, the Order for this one is a bit different. Its

I'm gonna have to be a stickler on that point for consistency's sake.
