Custom Character Creation

Rolling Method

We will try something different this time. You will roll 5D6+4 and total the results for a number 9-34. You will do this twice and pick the higher number. Each stat has a base score of 8. You will then divide your generated number up among the stats, adding to the "8"s (or subtracting). No stat may be higher than an 18 (before racial adjust.). Lowest possible set is 10, 10, 10, 9, 9, 9 if all ones are rolled. Highest possible set is 14, 14, 14, 14, 13, 13 (or 18, 18, 16, 10, 10, 10) if all sixes are rolled. The statistical average set is 12, 12, 11, 11, 11, 11 on an even spread or 18, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10 with a high score and no negative modifiers.

Race

All the standard player character races are available.  Humans do not get the bonus feat and skill points until they reach 1st level.

Age

You will begin the game between the ages of 16 and 20 or the equivalent thereof if demi human.
