Character Creation

We will be using Runequest Stats
Str
Con
Siz
Dex
Int
Pow
Cha

You will be able to use the point buy at 48pts following the rules of the BRP page 19 or roll random 3d6+6.

You may roll all stats and apply them where you want. Lowering and trading stats is also possible following the rules.

We will not be using the education statististic or EDU stat.

Pros and Cons, point buy will give all around higher averaged stats, but the roll method could give you a couple of over all higher stats, and lower of course.

Re: Character Creation

Here is the book break down of rules and parts that we are using from each book.


Epic Level Campaign Powers Points

Stats-Ruequest II

Powers-BRP/Super World and a modified version of RQII's sorcery for magic powers.

Combat System-Runequest II, with hitpoint location

Skills-Runequest II system for skills, but using the skill professions of BRP and Superworld in place of the Background portion of RQII. This skill list will be a combination of BRP, Superworld and appropriate RQII.  See the character sheet for a modified version of the common skill list.

You find a profession you like, or make up a profession and choose advanced skills and common skills that would fit in your profession.  I will compare your profession to an existing one and assign your skill bonuses.  You will then get Veteran skill points to add freely.  Any advanced skill you want not on your list will be chosen just like RQII, 10pts to buy and then add your free skill points to the total. Skills can not go over 99% when adding skill points, except in special circumstances based on your profession only.  They can be raised above 100% through game play.

Equipment-BRP-RQII-Superworld

Re: Character Creation

Veteran Starting in RQII as it pertains to our game.
You get:
 450 skill points
 5X starting money
 6 hero points, and through the course of play you can learn a Heroic ability.
 You don't start with a Heroic ability but you have enough hero points to learn
 one once it becomes available.
