Character Generation

Step 1: Race

Choose or roll for race:

Note that elves and dwarves are next to non-existent in many human parts of the world.

Other races might be playable under GM discretion.

Roll 2d6 6 times if creating a player character, otherwise 5 times.
If generating ordinary folk, subtract -1 from each roll.
Assign the rolls in order to: Vigor, Finesse, Sagacity, Morale, and unused.
If non-human, write the corresponding racial modifier next to each Virtue.
You may swap any two rolls once.
Total each roll with its modifiers, and divide by 3. Round mathematically: thirds down, two thirds up. The results are your Virtues, the unused rolls are discarded.

Choose or roll for:

Consult the GM or world description for details.

Background Features are rolled randomly on the Background Features Sheet.
They can be positive or negative.
Player characters always roll twice. Before rolling, you must decide whether to keep both, or discard one of your choice.
For an NPC, roll 2d6. For each 5 or 6, roll a background feature.
If for any reason, a rolled Feature is inapplicable or comes up twice, it is discarded. In case you chose to discard one before rolling, a single remaining feature may be discarded or kept.

Pick one Expertise: Combat, Stealth, Magic, or Faith.
Write down your Level. Unless the GM says otherwise, you are Level 1.
For each Level, pick one Feature. You are free to choose one from the following listings, as long as you fulfill all the requirements:
- The listing for each Expertise you have (by Expertise Score), in case of Faith according to Religion
- The Adventurer Features Sheet
