Yes for both accounts.

"Aye, I do believe then that I am finished, other than writing down my own impressive attributes, descriptions, and backstory. Don't let the name fool ye, there's plenty of substance beneath this plenty of man." Baelrick slaps his girthy belly and laughs.
OOC:
This should be a lot of fun. I've been playing a magic-user in a D&D B/X game here for about a year and a half, and he's all about being proper and dignified and prideful. You know, classic wizard. I'm hoping to explore someone more the opposite with Baelrick. But don't worry, I'll match the tone of the game.

Keep in mind that in the case of culture and language, you'll need to specify your "own" and "other".
Do we have only one "other" culture/language and have to choose which it is, or do we have all of the languages/cultures skills and have separate entries for each?

No, you can have as many as you want/need. Basically, select a race or "the Enemy" for Culture, and one of the languages on p.9 or the first post of this thread for Language.

So we can be very multilingual? Nice. Not that my 13% are very good for it, but still...

Another question: can my char have a pet? I know pets are sometimes hard to manage, but I'm tempted to give her a dog. :D

Yes, but you'll have to purchase it normally as part of your equipment. The prices for animals are listed on p.26.
May 7, 2022 7:37 pm
Gotcha! Do I roll stats for it too (from animal list)?
May 7, 2022 8:06 pm
If you want to, or you can just grab the average stats.

Of course I want! :P
Generating Bean the dog...

Rolls

STR - (2d6+6)

(41) + 6 = 11

CON - (3d6)

(623) = 11

DEX - (2d6+6)

(36) + 6 = 15

SIZ - (1d6)

(2) = 2

POW - (1d6+6)

(4) + 6 = 10

Not sure if I should also apply the "rerolling all 1s" to animal companions as well...

Depends on the Animal?
Ex: Draft Horse vs Hamster
May 8, 2022 12:29 am
Hmm, good point. Also, I guess it matters much less for an animal companion...

@ FlyingSucculent: Did you bought a domestic dog or a hunting dog?
May 8, 2022 2:27 am
Hunting dog; it is a tiny, fluffy terrier who was otiginally protecting Peli's house/shop/garden before they ventured to travel. :D

A few more rolls:

(21) = 3

Background point 2: skill improvement - (2d4)

(13) = 4

Starting gear BV:

Rolls

OK, I went as far as I could go with my character. Can you tell me if he is acceptable?
May 9, 2022 1:32 pm
Yep. Looks fine. You remembered about the extra Skill Points equal to your lower of INT/POW/CHA?
May 9, 2022 2:33 pm
No I didn't, so I just added 6 points do Close Combat and 7 to Engineering.
May 9, 2022 2:38 pm
Oh man, I just realized I had linked Baelrick in the thread, but forgot to make him public! He's free for viewing now.
May 9, 2022 5:33 pm
Okay, so everyone's characters seems pretty much done. I'll go ahead and start the actual game later tonight or tomorrow. In the meantime, @ Flying and @ cowleyc, if you can post or link the pictures you used for your characters so I can use them to make counters.
