[QUOTE="The803, post: 3217502, member: 23183"] There will be stats and rules and such, but not d20, and not that you need to know about. As a kid you have to just rely on your wits and figure out on your own what your character is good at. Yes, however... Every character starts the game with the six d20 Ability scores, the capacity to use any d20 skill that can be used untrained, (4 + Con mod) hit points, and a personality sketch that describes them. You have no feats, no racial abilities, no class levels, and no money or gear to speak of. You can put whatever you like in the personality sketch, but I do want to know the following four things about each character: [list=1] [*]What are you most deeply afraid of? [*]What makes you angry enough to do foolish things? [*]What is your primary passion or obsession in life? [*]What is noble and heroic about you? [/list] Your character may not know these things, but you, the player do. You can be as concrete or abstract as you like; a [COLOR=YellowGreen]fear of snakes[/COLOR] is concrete, [COLOR=Plum]fear of failure[/COLOR] is abstract. Try to pick things that you will act on a lot; I will customize the story to fit these. [/QUOTE]
