The first thing you need to do is roll 3d6 4 times and note the rolls on a piece of paper. Arrange them as you wish on your character sheet – here are what attributes are good for:
STR | damage bonus |
---|---|
3 | -3 |
4 | -2 |
5 | -1 |
6 | -1 |
15 | +1 |
16 | +1 |
17 | +2 |
18 | +3 |
19 | +4 |
20 | +6 |
21 | +8 |
If your DEXterity is >15, it will improve your armour class. If it is <6, it will degrade your armour class.
DEX | AC bonus |
---|---|
3 | -2 |
4 | -1 |
5 | -1 |
16 | +1 |
17 | +1 |
18 | +2 |
19 | +3 |
20 | +4 |
21 | +6 |
Your armour class starts at 10 and goes down from there. You subtract your AC bonus from your AC to get your real AC
Your hit points. When you go up levels, you will gain 1 hp/level, so it is really good to have a high starting CON. Your starting CON
also tells how many times you may be brought back to life via a raise dead spell.
You may trade points from one attribute to another, but there are costs and restrictions.
After figuring your attributes, you pick your race, pick your character class (you may pick more than one, but every class after the first one costs you $500), then pick your languages.
Every character starts out with $1200.
