Character Creation
All characters will begin at Second level. They are young people who completed an apprenticeship or other training and are setting out into the world. They have one or two previous adventures which got them to alargan, unless they are natives, in which cáase I and around the city. No veterans, no old people deciding late in life to begin a second, adventuring career. Use the Age tables on page 12 of the DMG. All characters are Young Adult or Mature. Do not use the ability modifiers on page 13. You may select a Secondary Skill to reflect your character's background and upbringing, page 12 DMG.
Ability scores generated on 4d6, drop the lowest; except Comeliness, which is rolled on 3d6 with CHA modifier.
Hit Points are rolled per the book, with a minimum hit points of 2 per level.
Allowable books: Player's Handbook and Unearthed Arcana, but no Cavaliers; Paladins as per PHB. None of the optional rules in the PHB are allowed (no Bards, no Psionics.)
Allowable Races: Hill Dwarf, Mountain Dwarf, Dark Elf, Gray Elf, High Elf, Wood Elf, Surface Gnome, Half-Elf, Harfoot Halfling, Stout Halfling, Tallfellow Halfling, Half-Orc and Human.
Starting XP is enough to be half way to 3rd level, starting gold is 10% of starting XP.
I will edit this as questions are asked or ruling are needed.
