Here is where players will roll up and can fine-tune their PCs. As mentioned in the Session Zero thread, please create one PC to play and one backup, which you can switch to and from at the Keep as needed/desired.
Things to remember:
- Both Basic and Advanced characters are allowed to adventure together. Advanced characters may multiclass in any legal combination.
- Once stats are rolled, you can either swap two scores or increase Prime Requisite(s) the normal way. If your stats are really hopeless (all negative modifiers, extremely low scores in half your stats, etc.), feel free to reroll.
- When considering Constitution score, be aware that the "Limits on Returning from Death" rule is in effect.
- Based on feedback from Session Zero, we'll be using Item-Based Encumbrance and Target 20 (since it was a tie, I think this method combines the best of both).
- When rolling for starting HP, reroll ones and twos—unless you want a true challenge 😎 lol
- Don't forget to roll or pick a secondary skill
- For arcane spellcasters, see the "Advanced Spell Book" rule
- If you consider lore while making your character, don't hesitate to ask for any information you need.
Below is the character sheet we'll be using, copied from the public repository. The only change I made was putting "Race/Class" instead of just "Race" to reflect our use of Advanced characters.
