* Choose a class:  [[Cyllian:Warrior|Warrior]], [[Cyllian:Sorcerer|Sorcerer]], [[Cyllian:Rogue|Rogue]]
* Select an attribute to be favored.  Record it.  
** Strength: Bonus added to every damage die in melee combat, as well as a general bonus to skill checks involving Strength.
** Intelligence:  Bonus added to starting skill points and must be favored by Sorcerers to get access to the most powerful spells.
** Wisdom:  Bonus added to the ability to read people and situations, and as a bonus against mind altering magic.
** Constitution:  Bonus added to Vitality and Hit Points at every advancement, in addition to a bonus for saves against disease and poison.
** Dexterity:  Bonus added to missile combat in addition to any skill checks involving hand-eye coordination.
** Charisma:  Bonus added to all Reaction Rolls and determines total number of loyal retainers a character can have.  
* Optional:  select a second attribute to be favored and select an attribute to be exceptionable.  Record both.
* Determine Vitality:  Record 5 +/- Constitution adjustment.  This is the character's physical ability to absorb damage.  All damage to Vitality is physical wounds that can incapacitate, permanently injure, or possibly kill the character.
* Determine Hit Points:  Record 12 for a Warrior, 8 for a Rogue, and 4 for a Sorcerer.  Add 4 if the character has advantaged Constitution.  Likewise subtract 4 if the character has exceptionable Constitution.  Hit Points represent the combination of skill, experience, luck, innate magic, and blessing of the gods that allows a powerful character to avoid attacks that would grievously wound lesser people.  So long as a character has Hit Points, no hit is considered to have done physical damage to the character.
