Notes

• Magic bonus +15%
• Background roll included "Climb like a thief"

• No encumberance [up to (Str+Con) x 2 in lbs]: No effects

Light [double]: -1 Strike rank. -1/5% ability checks [dexterity/agilty] Middling [triple]: 3/4 normal movement. -2 SR/ability checks Heavy [quadruple]: Half movement. -3 SR/ ability checks Very heavy [quintiple] : quarter movement. -4 SR/ ability checks

Str adds the Bend bars/lift gates chance to any raw strength test. For fighters only, this is calculated as if each step of exceptional str were +1 above 18 in the RQIII system, so str 19 gets the 18/01-50 chance. Dex adds a raw dodge bonus based on AC adjustment - +5% per -1AC. for thieves, it also adds dex modifiers to their skills. Con adds a bonus to the Hero dies of each hero, up to +2 for not fighters and +4 for fighter types. Int adds languages [that start at a base of 30%] equal to the additional languages. MU's and Illusionists gain extra spells and base their spell learning chances and maximum number of spells on Int. Wis adds a mental resistance bonus for all heros, and cleric types gain extra spells from it. Charisma governs henchmen, reaction adjustments and loyalty. Ridiculously high ones will garner ridiculous bonuses.

• Will you use up your proficiencies to buy a specialty weapon [or two?] or a double specialty? [using three]?

• You'll need to adjust your resistances, proficiencies, etc. If you're going full on fighter, you'll want a range weapon, one for shield work and a serious pigsticker at a minimum.
