Character Generation

When generating a player character, follow these steps:

1. Choose a basic character concept, including class or at least a type of class. You should also give some thoughts to race and gender.
2. Roll for base ability scores according to DM guidelines. Six ability scores in the 3-18 range should be generated.
3. Choose race and gender.
4. Choose background culture (if your DM allows a culture different from the racial default). Also choose one of the culture's background classes.
5. Choose or roll for age.
6. Assign and calculate ability scores (base ability + racial adj + age adj). Note that if a PC gets an adjusted Int below 3, set it to 3 instead. Any ability score that gets an adjusted value below 1 should be set to 1. Calculate ability modifiers.
7. Choose class.
8. Record special traits for race and class.
9. Use improvement points (IP) to buy improvements. IP can be saved for future use.
10. Learn background skills by distributing skill points (based on RL+1 levels in your chosen background class). Skill points may not be stored for future use.
11. Learn class skills by distributing skill points (based on your class level or levels). Skill points may not be stored for future use.
12. Choose or generate physical appearance.
13. Choose or generate personality characteristics.
14. Roll for wealth and buy equipment.
15. Choose spells and spell variations known.
16. Calculate and record derived numbers:
• Hit Points, Stamina Points, and Power Points.
• Initiative Modifier.
• Defense Class (active and passive).
• Fortitude, Reflex, and Will Defenses.
• Attack Modifiers.
• Encumbrance Class and Penalty.
• Fate Points.
17. Choose or generate a name.

Ability Score Generation

Generate base ability scores using one of the following methods (subject to the DM’s approval):

Ability Generation Methods - Elite

Generation Method	Description
Method E-I	Roll 4d6 and discard the lowest die. Do this six times. Assign each score to one base ability.
Method E-II	You have 25 points with which to buy your base ability scores. See the table below for point costs.
Method E-III	Assign the following scores as desired: 15, 14, 13, 12, 10, and 8.
Method E-IV	Same as method I, but a single score can be rerolled once during the process.
Method E-V	Roll 4d6 and discard the lowest die. Do this six times and assign in order to Str, Con, Dex, Int, Wis, and Cha. Reroll any one ability score of your choice, and take the new roll if it is higher. Finally, you may switch any two ability scores.
Method E-VI	Assign the following dice pools to one ability score each: 6d6, 5d6, 4d6, 4d6, 3d6, 3d6. Roll the indicated number of dice and add the three highest dice in each pool. The six results are your scores.
E-Rerolling	Regardless of method, if the sum of your ability modifiers is 0 or less, or your highest score is 13 or lower, you are recommended to start over and reroll all ability scores.

Ability Generation Methods - Average

Generation Method	Description
Method A-I	Roll 3d6. Do this six times. Assign each score to one base ability.
Method A-II	You have 15 points with which to buy your ability scores. See the table below for point costs.

Character Races

This chapter lists the races (i.e. species) most commonly available for player characters. It is merely a subset of the larger number of creatures described in the creature chapter, and some of those may also be suitable for characters (at the DM’s discretion). Note, however, that this chapter and the original D&D rules provide more role-playing information than is available for most non-character creatures.

With very few exceptions, the "non-technical" details listed for character races in D&D still apply. Unless otherwise specified, personality, physical description, relations with other races, alignment, culture, and religion are the same as in the original rules.

The racial traits make a distinction between true racial traits and cultural traits. The true racial traits are genetically and inherently a part of that race, while the cultural traits apply only to individuals that grew up in a family or society of the specified race. For example, an elf that grew up among other elves will have both racial and cultural traits typical for elves. On the other hand, an elf that is raised by dwarves should have the racial traits of an elf but at least some of the dwarven cultural traits (instead of the elven ones).

Type and subtype: Racial types and subtypes are described in the creature chapter.
Ability Adjustment: Racial ability score adjustments.
RL: The racial level of an adult member of the race. Most player character races have RL 0. Racial levels count as levels in your chosen background class (see below) for the purpose of health points and skills.
CL Mod: If the race has characteristics that make it more powerful than a typical human, this is expressed as a positive CL modifier (an effective level increase). The DM may disallow such races for player characters.
Size Class: Size category for an adult member of the race.
Average Size: Average height/length (in cm) for adult males and females, respectively.
Average Weight: Average weight (in kg) for adult males and females, respectively.
Age Categories: Age categories (in years) for adult, mature, old, and venerable.
Base Speed: Base speed for ground, swim, and fly movement modes (in squares).
DR/MR: Natural damage resistance and magic resistance (if any).
Body Type: Body category.
Natural Attacks: List of natural attacks and their default weapon statistics.
Alignment: This is the overall moral tendency for the race as a whole.
Racial Traits: Special traits and bonuses due to race.
Default Culture: Default culture. Also specifies the class equivalences typically used for background skills.
Cultural Traits: Special traits and bonuses granted by the default culture.

Character Templates

In addition to the base races, you can apply one of the listed templates to a base race, but note that most templates have a CL modifier and may not be allowed for low-level campaigns. Most of the templates represent an unusual bloodline somewhere among one’s ancestors. For example, your character can be a half-dragon human, in other words a human with draconic blood, also known as a dragonborn. Or you can be a half-earth-elemental gnome, sometimes known as an earth genasi. Although many of the templates are referred to as half-something, the unusual ancestry is often more distant in the family tree than one of your parents. Also note that some human-based hybrids, half-elves and half-orcs in particular, are common and distinct enough to be listed as separate races in their own right.

Old Type → New Type: Old Type are the racial types compatible with this template, and New Type may signify a change of racial type.
Ability Adjustment: Template ability score adjustments.
RL: Modifier to racial level. Most templates have an RL modifier of 0.
CL: If the template has characteristics that makes it more or less powerful than indicated by its RL modifier, this is expressed as a CL modifier (an effective level increase or decrease).
Size: Modifier to size category.
Base Speed: New movement modes and their base speed, or a modifier to the race's base speed.
Alignment: This is the overall moral tendency for the template as a whole.
Racial Traits: Special traits and bonuses granted by template.

Cleric (Clr)

SP/Level:	4
PP/Level:	8
Infl/Level:	5
Skill Pts/Level:	18
Key Ability Scores:	Wis, Con, Cha
Favored Alignment:	Any (same as deity)
Spell Knowledge:	A cleric's church will teach him most of the spells that he has sufficient divine skills to cast. More unusual spells can be learned from a teacher, divine writings, personal prayers, etc.
Role-Playing Notes:	Most clerics are part of an ecclesiastical hierarchy, with obligations as well as benefits. Some, however, devote themselves to their deity or philosophy without joining the official church. Clerics are common among nearly all races. Adventuring and crusading clerics are mostly seen among humans and dwarves, however. Unless the current situation prevents it, a cleric should pray regularly and observe all of the religion's rituals and special holy days. A cleric who violates his deity or philosophy will lose the ability to channel divine energy (cast divine spells, turn undead, etc.) until he atones. He can still gain levels in the class and improve his divine skills, but they will be mostly useless until atonement.

HP/Level:	6
SP/Level:	6
PP/Level:	8
Infl/Level:	5
Skill Pts/Level:	18
Key Ability Scores:	Wis, Dex
Favored Alignment:	Neutral
Spell Knowledge:	A druid's society will teach him most of the spells that he has sufficient divine skills to cast. More unusual spells can be learned from a teacher, divine writings, personal prayers, etc.
Role-Playing Notes:	Druids revere nature and abhor unnatural creatures. They shun items of a technological or mechanical nature, and they take an oath to not wear metallic armor. Nearly all druids, even the most solitary and isolated ones, are part of a global society. When the protection of nature requires it, a number of society members may cooperate, but at other times, they may compete with or even prey on each other. The society has a distinct hierarchy, but low-ranking members have few obligations towards their superiors. Most druids are elves, gnomes, humans, or half-elves. A druid who violates his deity, philosophy, or oaths of conduct will lose the ability to channel natural energy (cast divine spells, change shape, etc.) until he atones. He can still gain levels in the class and improve his druidic skills, but many of them will be mostly useless until atonement.

Templar (Tmp)

SP/Level:	6
PP/Level:	4
Infl/Level:	5
Skill Pts/Level:	18
Key Ability Scores:	Cha, Str, Wis
Favored Alignment:	Any (same as deity)
Spell Knowledge:	A templar's church will teach him most of the spells that he has sufficient divine skills to cast. More unusual spells can be learned from a teacher, divine writings, personal prayers, etc.
Role-Playing Notes:	Templars are devoted to a deity or philosophy, and they follow a strict code of conduct appropriate to this devotion and the deity's alignment. For example, a lawful good templar should respect life, protect the weak, help those in need, respect legitimate authority, never lie or cheat, and punish the wicked. Most templars are trained within the church of their deity or philosophy. Some, however, find their calling outside any official religion and simply follow their own conscience. Most templars are humans or half-elves, although a rare few are dwarves or elves. A templar who knowingly and willingly commits an act clearly opposite to his alignment loses all divine abilities forever. Those who violate their code of conduct lose all divine abilities until they have atoned.

Spell Knowledge:	Wizards typically learn new spells from a teacher, an arcane spellbook, personal development, etc.
Role-Playing Notes:	The training of a wizard involves intensive study and practice, and this training usually takes place in an academy, school, or guild. In rural settings, potential students of the wizardly arts are more often trained by the village wizard or an eccentric hermit. Most sorcerers are individualists and develop their skills unaided. Some, however, are fortunate enough to be tutored by a more experienced practitioner. Sorcerers are rarely welcome in schools and guilds meant for wizards. Wizards are most common among humans, elves, half-elves, and gnomes.

Multi-Classing

As a character progresses in level, he or she can either focus on a single class or mix multiple classes. Note that entering a new class is subject to the DM’s approval and also requires meeting any prerequisites of the new class.

Improvements

Using Improvement Points

Characters receive 5 improvement points per level with which they can buy special improvement bonuses.

Improvements

Improvement	IP Cost	Max Bonus
Improvement bonus to Str, Con, Dex, Int, Wis, or Cha	10 per +1	5
Improvement bonus to DeC	10 per +1	5
Improvement bonus to Fort, Ref, or Will	5 per +1	5
Improvement bonus to HP, SP, or PP	2 per +1	25
Improvement bonus to (non-prestige) skill level	10 per +1	5

Learning Skills

Acquiring Skills

Characters gain skill points as they increase in level, and those skill points can be used to buy levels in a wide variety of skills. Each skill point is worth one skill level. For each increase in TL (i.e. racial level or class level), a character can spend 0, 0.5, or 1 skill points on primary skills and 0 or 0.5 skill points on secondary skills.

Some skills provide a number of specializations, and these specializations cost additional skill points. Each specialization costs 1 skill point, but this cost does not count against the number of skill points that can be spent per skill and level.

A maximum of 1 skill point per level can be spent on so-called prestige skills, either 1 point on a single prestige skill or 0.5 points each on two prestige skills.

Background Skills

Player characters (and most other creatures) acquire some skills before they even start their class training. Each culture has one or more class equivalences, and an adult member of that culture receives background skill points as if it had (RL + 1) levels in one of those classes.

Optional Skill Rules

Other Characteristics

Health Scores

Calculate HP, SP, and PP.

HP = Con + (HP bonus per class and level) + (HP bonus per race and level) × size factor

SP = Con + (SP bonus per class/race and level)

PP = Wis + (PP bonus per class/race and level)

Defense Scores

Calculate DeC, Fort, Ref, and Will.

DeCp (passive DeC) = 10 + Dex mod (if negative) + TL + size mod + other modifiers

DeCa (active DeC) = DeCp + Dex mod (if positive) + parry bonus + other modifiers

Fort = 10 + Str mod + Con mod + TL + skill mod + other modifiers

Ref = 10 + Dex mod + Int mod + TL + skill mod + other modifiers

Will = 10 + Wis mod + Cha mod + TL + skill mod + other modifiers

Resistance Scores

Unless a character’s race states otherwise, the character starts with damage resistance, energy resistance, and magic resistance at 0. Equipment and magic can be used to improve these resistances later on.

Initiative Modifier

Init = Dex mod + other modifiers

Social Scores

Characters start at social class 0 and wealth class 0. The DM may allow other starting values under special circumstances.

SC = 0

WC = 0

Infl = Cha + (Infl bonus per class/race and level) + SC bonus + other modifiers

The player should choose the focus of his character’s influence, but this choice is subject to DM approval.

Rep = TL + SC + WC + other modifiers

The player should choose the nature of his character’s reputation, but this choice is subject to DM approval.

Action Points

AP = 10 + TL (unless otherwise specified for the character’s race)

Fate Points

Player characters start the game with 3 fate points.

Appearance

Choose (or randomly generate) the character’s appearance, based on the physical description of the character’s race. Consider at least the following aspects:

• Height and weight
• For random height, multiply average height by (75+5d10)% (in other words, 80% to 125% of average).
• For random weight, multiply average weight by (height multiplier)×(75+5d10)%.
• Skin (or fur) color
• Eye color
• Hair color and hairstyle
• Facial hair
• Distinguishing marks

Personality

Alignment is no longer a PC characteristic as such. The player should choose a personality for his or her character and act accordingly. The DM will observe a character’s actions and may use this to maintain a secret alignment evaluation (for the purposes of detection spells, class restrictions, items limited to certain alignments, etc). If the character wants to find out about his alignment, asking the DM is not the way to do it; he or she will have to find and ask a trustworthy cleric. The cleric may even be able to explain why the character has that alignment, but this explanation will be from the cleric’s point of view, of course.

The player is recommended to describe his character’s personality with a few keywords. A couple of unusual mannerisms can also make a character more fun to play and more memorable for all involved.

New characters above 1st level should not be allowed items worth more than 25% of their total wealth.

Experience and Level

In most campaigns, each player character starts at level 1 and with 0 XP. Unless the DM says otherwise, this means that races and templates with RL and/or CL modifier higher than 0 are not allowed as player character races. Likewise, starting at a SC or WC above 0 may not be allowed.

In campaigns that start at a higher level than 1, the DM should let the players know how many XP their characters have to start with. The players can themselves choose how to divide their total level between different classes. They may also be allowed to choose races that have racial levels and/or CL modifiers.

As a character adventures, he will earn more XP by overcoming enemies, obstacles, and challenges. When enough experience has been earned, the character attains a new level. When this happens, follow these steps:

1. Choose a class in which to advance, either one already possessed or a new one. This class level increases by one.
2. Alternatively, if the character belongs to a race with racial levels and the maximum racial level has not yet been reached, feel free to increase the racial level instead of a class level.
3. Increase HP, SP, and PP according to the new level.
4. Increase Infl according to the new level and increase Rep by 1.
5. Increase your AP total by 1.
6. You may use improvement points (new and/or saved ones) to improve your character.
7. You gain skill points according to the new level. Use them to gain new or improve old skills.
• Each primary skill of the chosen class can be improved by 0, 0.5, or 1 skill point.
• Each secondary skill of the chosen class can be improved by 0 or 0.5 skill points.
• Any primary or secondary skill specialization can be bought (or improved) for 1 skill point.
• Skill points have to be spent; they cannot be saved for future use.
8. Note any new class traits provided by the level.
9. If you have improved arcane, divine, or psionic spell skills, choose new spells and variations.
10. Recalculate any characteristics that are dependent on level or skill improvements.
• Defenses.
• Attack and damage bonuses.

The character is assumed to spend time between adventures training and studying, automatically learning how to use his new abilities and skills.
