Editing Sorcerous Arts:Rules Modifications (section)

==Starting PCs==

Player Characters will be made with 10,000 experience points (5th level). There are only five available classes: Barbarian, Expert (see below), Fighter, Magician (see below), and Rogue. As characters will be professors, upper level students, and important associates of the College, every character must take at least three levels of Magician.

Ability scores will be bought with 30 points, according to the standard point buy scheme. Don't forget to add in an extra point for reaching 4th level! For posterity's sake, the standard point buy table is given below in the following format: ability score / point cost / ability modifier / bonus Valences (see below).

*8 / 0 / -1 / 0
*9 / 1 / -1 / 0
*10 / 2 / +0 / 0
*11 / 3 / +0 / 0
*12 / 4 / +1 / 1
*13 / 5 / +1 / 2
*14 / 6 / +2 / 3
*15 / 8 / +2 / 4
*16 / 10 / +3 / 6
*17 / 13 / +3 / 8
*18 / 16 / +4 / 10
*19 / -- / +4 / 12
*20 / -- / +5 / 15
*21 / -- / +5 / 18
*22 / -- / +6 / 21

All characters must be human.

As far as wealth goes, all characters have apartments (and, for faculty, offices) at the College of Sorcerous Arts. They also may have one or two signature magical items totaling up to about 8,000 gold pieces in worth, and other notable items totaling up to about 3,000 gold pieces in worth. Don't bother counting the costs of items worth less than 50 gold pieces. Any of your alloted gold not spent goes into spending money and IOUN Stones. ''NOTE: These are more like Jack Vance's stones than standard D&D Ioun Stones. See below for more details.''
