Character Creation and House Rules.

Feb 5, 2023 9:43 pm

This thread is used for character creation, attributes generation, to do level ups and take care of purchase rolls (PRs), and to list the house rules I'll be using for my campaign.

House Rules
I'm not a super huge fan of the "you go, I go" system for initiative, so instead of using that, we'll be using the Awareness score to determine initiative order (from highest to lowest). Ties will be broken with a simple Opposed Awareness Check. Seeing how opponents are built, this change should still advantage player characters...
