Character Creation Guidelines

Race

Use any of the regular Barsaive character races- Human, Dwarf, Elf, Ork, T’skrang, Obsidiman, Troll or Windlings. Any of the following races will require prior approval. Tiefling, Aasimar, Genasi, Halflings, Gnomes, Elf and Dwarf Variants, Githyanki, Githzerai. Other races will be considered on a case-by-case basis.

Attributes

This system will be used instead of the regular 4d6 system in all cases with no exceptions for player characters. Using this system, each player receives 66 points with which to purchase his character's Attributes. The cost for each Attribute Value appears below. No character may begin the game with a starting Attribute Value lower than 3 or higher than 18 before racial modifications. All Stats must be at least 1 after racial modifications except Intelligence, which must be at least 3 after modification. If you have leftover points 1 Point Stats = 2 points Skills, 3 Points Stats = A Feat.
