The Flesh Price is the Initial Cost any Adventurer has acquired before he begins his Adventure. This rate varies depending on the Adventurer's Class, time/quality of training, Caste, and Advantages/Flaws. The Debt cannot be bypassed by anything short of death, and even then an individual's body can be purchased at the Soul Auction.
NOTE: As Caste and Advantages serve as the way to gain Racial bonuses, each character begins Generation without any benefits as a Freeman (base of 10 in all stats, no racial bonuses).
Age: Calculate based on the Age Chart for Humans and your Starting Class. This is your age. Use the random generated number + 20 to determine your Life Number.
Social Class: Choose a Social Class.
