General Character Creation General

Adventuring: PCs should be created with reasons to go on the adventure and thus play the game.

Cooperative Group Play Only: PCs should be created with the party in mind, should have a reason to cooperate and trust each other.

Anti-Heroes: are permitted given the criteria above is met. The anti-hero is still a hero and tends to have nontraditional heroic morals and nobility. Anti-Heroes tend to be darker and more controversial. NO EVIL PCs!

Starting Level is 1

Permitted Rule Books for Character Creation
-Shadowdark Core Rulebook.

-Cursed Scroll Zine 3
-Unnatural Selection (Gnome)

Premitted Ancestries

Method for determining Attributes we be discussing as a group.

HP at level 1 is max then rolled for each level after L1.

Heh, indeed, the dice do seem to have taken a dislike to me today.

I'll hold off until the DM makes a decision. But it's fine if these are the stats I'm stuck with, one of the perils of random generation!

Not sure if you want us to make a character and submit it to the game using a sheet, but Nezeraj made a nice one. If players just hit the Create Character button, top right, they can make one and then go to your games list and submit it to this game.

Well, as I said, click to open the spoiler to see the sheet. Click on the Create Character button in the top right. Then enter your info. You have to make the character first, obviously. You can use the Shadowdarklings generator for that if you like.

Once you've completed it, go to your Games list (GamersPlane menu bar, top). Click on "Games" to get the full list. Click on this game's name. Scroll down and you should be blessed to choose the character you made and submit it.
