Can we generate stats and chose where to place them?
Example: attributes - edu (2d6+6=14, 2d6+6=16, 2d6+6=9, 2d6+6=15, 2d6+6=15, 2d6+6=11).
And use them where we like?

Insight - Loved the concept and the character.
Now, to fit my idea, we should change several stuff in the background.
First, we can say that after Carter left Egypt with various treasures he decided to take you with him New York, U.S and after his talks he returned to the UK to join forces with other archeologists in comprehend and investigate the treasures.
Carter worked with the University of #name# in a big team that Jack Paterlan (The book dealer DH created) was part of.
As for a job – you are working partially for Howard Carter and as a driver/porter/security guard/whatever you want in the department of Archeology in the University of #name#. Carter pays you money (thought low salary) and the University provides you food and accommodation in the basement for your service.
You must know DH player and vice versa. You became friends/co-workers somehow. If you know hieroglyphs and Arabic maybe you can help him with translations and he loans you books.
So you can write Occupation: Driver present and dig foreman – past.
Thought they will use your knowledge as foreman in the near future.
Languages – Not sure how Persian will help you ... you can choose Hebrew or Aramaic if you like
I should write about the big team in the future ... I have something in mind
DH - you rolled only 6 abilities. You need to role for seven abilities 2d6+6. And for EDU (education) you need to roll 3d6+3.

Meet Harry..
Greetings all.
I'll be playing Harrison Harvestrock - a 45 year old reporter for the London Daily News. Harry covered the expedition to uncover the Tomb of Tutankhamun in 1923 in Egypt (where he presumably met the other players). After his coverage of the Palestinian riots in Jerusalem, 1929, he returned to London hoping to lead a less dramatic journalist career (or at least so he thought...).
Attributes:
str:15
con:16
dex:13
siz:15
int:10
pow:13
app:15
edu:13
idea:50
knowledge:65
luck:65
damage bonus:+1d4
magic points:13
hit points:16
sanity:65
Occupations skills (260):
disguise (50)
hide (50)
library use (40)
listen (50)
other language (36)
photography (50)
sneak (46)
spot hidden (45)
Hobby skills (100):
conceal (30)
dodge (26)
history (25)
locksmith(21)
natural history (15)
navigate (15)
own language (65)
persuade (35)
track (30)
handgun (30)
Notes:
1.Please feel free to comment on the stats.
2.The skills I didn't mention are the default values in the standard character sheet.
3.A good starting point for the story would be a fund raiser in Oxford University where the characters re-unite after 7 years.

Yog - OK, several comments:
Please roll stats in invisible castle and post the link over here. There is a link to the dice roller in post #17.
I'm going to use Harry Burton in this game. He is the original person who filmed the opening of Tutankhamun in 1923, you can not take his fame and glory. What I suggest is that you can be his apprentice or rival.
If apprentice, you can work in The Times newspaper and be much younger, if Rival, you can choose other paper.
Now we need to connect you to the group. You can be master of archeological photographing in the Holy Land (Israel/Palestine and Trans-jordan). You can also be a student photographer (working for the university newspaper). We need to find a good link to the Professors (that should be easy), to the University and to the other players.
For you to know there is another archeological Master student, she will be a NPC by me.
All - Last thing: The University is University College London (UCL)
