Hints to create a new character
1. Name
First of all think of a name for you character.
If it had happened so that you are lost and don't know which name
to choose here is a link to a name generator... Not a bad thing.
Fantasy Name Generator
2. Choose your race
Remember that some races can't learn certain skills and thus can
support only some jobs.
Note: Humans is a Universal race, which means there are no
limitations on type of job or lvl you can reach in your class.
Possible races:
Dwarf
(F,C,T)
Elf
(F,R,M,C,T)
Gnome
(F,C,T)
Half-elf
(F,R,M,C,T,B)
Halfling
(F,C,T)
Human (allowed to learn any
job)
3. Class/job
Fighter (F)
Priest/Cleric (P,C)
Mage/Wizard (M)
Ranger (R)
Thief (T)
Bard (B)
Note that only HUMAN race can learn any job skill.
4. Stats
Those have to be determined by the 1d20 (20 sided dice) roll.
DYING POLICY:
Since there are not many people playing...
When you die you can and will be brought into the game... If you want that is. :)
5. Rolling your stats:
NOTE:
ALL ROLES ARE MADE WITH THE DM. OTHERWISE
YOU WILL HAVE TO REROLL EVERYTHING FROM THE SCRATCH.
Stats can be rolled using the
1d20 (1 20 sided dice) method. Reroll any above 18 and all below 2 you get. Do that 8 times and
keep the highest 6 rolls.
If you wish to roll several sets of
stats to get that "perfect set", keep this in mind; Once you roll a
set and decide to roll another set, you can NEVER come back to a
previous set. Once you pass it, consider it dead.
If you somehow don't meet the Class/Race requirement you may roll
the dice ONCE more. If you still have a problem it
is assumed you have the minimum required for your Class/Race.
6. Your character's
Background
Giving your character
stats is one thing, breathing life into it is quite
another. A character background is a great tool for role-playing in
DM's hands, quite possibly even more. Before you begin playing
your character, you should think about the following. Try to fill in the
blanks for your character. Even if you can't come up with much,
anything is a good foundation to build from.
- Name.
- Race.
- Physical description.
- Where you are from.
- Any family you may have (alive or dead).
- What diety do you pray to (if any)?
- What motivates you - what lead you to becoming what you are
today (class-wise)?
- Do you have any particularly strong likes and/or dislikes
towards any thing place, object, person, race, class, or type of
creature?
- Do you have any friends or enemies of note (do you have ties
to a particular mages guild for instance, or is there a bounty on
your head for one reason or another, etc)?
- Any other information you want to include to give your
character a little more history or "plot lines" for the DM to be
able to draw upon.
Keep in mind, that the more information
you give, the more fun the DM can make the game for you!
