Editing SamsRQ6 Chargen

I aim chargen to be swift, so that I am less reluctant to off your characters than I normally am.


*CHARACTER CONCEPT - What is the basic idea for your character?
**Note that I will prefer theist characters as it will be easier for me to run.
**Are you human? If not, what and why?
**Are you Barbarian, Civilized (these two are preferred) or Nomad or Primitive?


*CHARACTER SHEET - Make a new character sheet on the wiki, using either your character's name or your rpgnet handle or similar
**...or ask someone else to do it for you


*ATTRIBUTES - Allocate 90 points to your attributes, min. 10, max. 18. (Please don't sweat too much over it - if you feel you just need to up your STR a tad to get that damage bonus, note it at the foot of your character sheet and we can see if it happens in play.) 
**Also note that I will probably combine the CHA-based learning (including getting new magic) from the rules with RQ2/3-style tick-and-roll learning of skills, with an INT bonus.
**If you really really want a characteristic down to 8, this will bw a major feature of your chracter - please explain why this improves your character.
**If you are non-human, please propose a point-buy setup that is similar to the above yet reflects your race.


*BASE SKILLS
**Put base values on your sheet for your Standard skills
**IMPORTANT: I am doubling the contribution of attributes to all skills. E.g. You have Cha 14 and Pow 11, your base Sing rating is not Cha+Pow (25%), it is 2xCha + 2xPow (50%).
**N.B. If we (or you) go East Wilds Orlanthi, riding will be taboo, so we can talk about this.


*CULTURE
**I will now give you two sets of rolls for culture, background, parents' profession etc. Pick one of these.
**Add 100 points to skills relevant to your culture (min. 5%, max. 15%)
***Leave the additions on the sheet for now; E.g. Sing (cha+pow) 50% +10
***You may take a max of 1 combat style within this, but this will depend entirely on your social class, and I will suggest what it does or does not include
***You may add points to no more than 3 professional skills
***You get +20% for Folk Magic and it is a standard skill
***Note that you automatically get +20 for customs and language (+40 in the book, houseruled)
***Don't forget to allocate points to Passions (you can define these more clearly later if you wish, no problem)


*PROFESSION
**What is your (background) profession?
**Add 100 points, as before (min 5, max 15) 
***Again, you may select a Combat style
***You may add points to no more than 3 professional skills


*CULTS etc
**You may be a member of one organisation (Cult, School, Brotherhood etc) - we will need to discuss this


*AGE BONUS
**We will assume you are 'Adult', whichever age your character is. This means you may now add 150 points to any skill, max. 15%
**You may include only 1 new professional skill or combat style
**You may include the more advances magic skills as you wish - e.g. Exhort etc.


*MAGIC
**Take two points of Profession-relevant Folk magic (see table p. 195 or so?)
**Take two points of Cult/School etc-relevant Folk magic (I will tell you what your cult can provide, probably using the MRQ2 Cults book as a guide).
**You may take more advanced spells (or equivalent) according to your rating in the relevant skill (e.g. for sorcery, each 20 points of Invocation grants a spell at chargen)



*EQUIPMENT
**You may take the weapons that are appropriate to your combat style(s)
**I will give you profession/background-appropriate armour.
**I honestly don't want to be tracking equipment. How about you can 'produce' (cartoon-character style), up to 4 items like mirrors or whatever and can subsequently exchange these if you wish.
