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?
    • 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 reduce the importance of CHA for learning but make CHA-based skills very important in the game.
    • If you really really want a characteristic down to 8, 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
      • Folk Magic 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 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


  • You get the Gloranthan +30% for Folk Magic
