Creating a Character

Roll for your name.

Roll for a background and gain the associated skill and equipment.

You have three attributes:

• STR: constitution, grit, strength
• DEX: aim, dexterity, speed
• INT: cunning, intellect, smarts
• WIL: leadership, magical potential, willpower

Roll d8 for each attribute in order to assign dice.

• 1-2: d4
• 3-6: d6
• 7-8: d8

Roll DEX to determine your starting hit protection (HP), a representation of your ability to avoid critical harm.

If your WIL is d8, roll for one spell.

In addition to the equipment from your background, you start with a pack containing one days' rations, three torches (1 hour each), and 3d6 coin (C).

Roll 2d20+10 for your age.

Roll d8 for your alignment.

• 1-2: Chaotic
• 3-5: Neutral
• 6-8: Lawful

Roll for your drive and your traits.

Instead of rolling, you may start with any name, any background or a custom background (including a name, a skill, and equipment worth 40 C), d6 in each attribute (optionally lowering one or more one step to raise others the same number of steps), 3 HP (or 4 if DEX is d8, 5 if d10, or 6 if d12), a spell of your choice if your WIL is d8 or higher, additional equipment worth 20 C, any age, a chosen alignment, and any drive and traits.
