Hi Folks,
Initial Stats:
Please feel free to choose an option that works for you:
32 Point Buy (Standard D&D set up)
4d6 drop the lowest
Or similar system -
Character Level is 1st as you already know.
Based upon your concept, we'll build the characters in that direction.
Skills:
I normally use a Condensed Skill list, hybrid of Pathfinder/35e/4e, but if people want to use the RSRD version instead, I'm willing. Your choice.
Condensed Skill List would be:
Perception (Which would include Spot, Listen and Search)
Thievery (Instead of Sleight of Hand and Open Locks)
Stealth (Instead of Move Silently and Hide).
etc.
Character Points:
Pretty much every one has 48 Character Points (CP) to spend, but as this is a growth game, we'll spend them as we go.
You may take Duties which will grant an additional 2 CP per level (starting at 1st)
Disadvantages (You may select three) and that will add 10 CP
Level 0: 24 CP
Bonus Feat @ Level 0: 6 CP
Human Feat: 6 CP
Disadvantages x3: 10 CP
TOTAL = 46 CP OR 40 (If not Human)
Level 1: 24 CP
Duties: +2
Hit Points:
HD + Constitution Modifier.
Questions? Toss them my way.
