It's obligatory!

So, we have a group of four. I know one is planning on making a Magician, and another a Healer. If we also have some sort of front-line warrior, and a scout-type, I think we'll have everything covered.

If you want, I can also put up an ad to see if we can get one or two more players, but I'll leave that up to a group vote.

Let me know if you have any questions -- and if you spot a race you want, I'll find its details and put them up for you. I'll probably do that as a PM to reduce clutter.

EDIT: One request. When you have your character name assigned, please PM me. I like to have a PM thread for each character, and if it's from that character it'll show as such in the "from" field so I can find it easily in the future.

Happy to play the warrior role. Per your Character Creation thread, I don't have a copy of the Shadow World Master Atlas, just the 4th edition rulebook and Character Law supplement. If you can clue me in on my options, we can go from there.

So, fixed Potential Stat modifiers, or Rolled?

Your choice -- but you have to stick with it. No taking the rolling option, then asking to switch to fixed 'cause you rolled poorly.

Rogue, let me know which race from the list interests you. An interesting one for a warrior-type might be a dwarf (called Nomari in this setting). One interesting thing they have is that they are vulnerable to cold, but they can voluntarily hibernate for however long as they want, and when they wake up they get to ignore this penalty for an equal length of time. They don't have the traditional distrust of elves, given that two of the elf sub-races share their love of crafting and mechanical invention.

Among the races I've listed, Talath make the best warriors stat-wise (+6 Strength, +4 Constitution).

Hah! Yeah, that would be a 'sore roller' thing. Nah, I will see which one offers the better options, and then I will let you know of the results. If I roll, you will see the official rolls here on the Dice Roller.

By the way, I am using something called Rolemaster Office, which is a small java program that helps you to create a RMFRP character and has all the Shadow World and even MERP races and info.

It is supposed to be able to print out a nice stat block sheet and PDF, but I haven't tried it  yet.

I just wanted to mention that this tool is available if others want to take a look at it.

Question: the core book mentions certain background options (table with rolls). Are the options different in the Shadow World setting? Same question for adolescent skills and apprenticeship.
