[QUOTE="Sayburr, post: 45785, member: 92"] This was based on something I read on these boards over a year ago: All abilities start at 8. You will be given points with which to increase your abilities. When deciding on your ability scores you can use any number over 8 only one time. (ie. You can have 5 eights and one 18 but you can’t have a 9 for more than one ability score or any other number for more than one ability score). · You get 15 points in your ability score pool (this will give you the following ability scores to use for any ability you choose: 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13). If you are willing to do a little additional work on your character you will be able to add the following bonuses to your ability score pool: · +1 for a background story that works within the world’s framework given below. · +2 if you include the receipt of a silver key in your background (examples, award for brave deed, family heirloom, won through gambling, stolen from someone, gift from old lover, found somewhere). · +1 more if the story is longer than 500 words. +2 if it is more than 750 words long. · +1 if the story is e-mailed to me or given to me on disk (so I can add some story elements to it). · +1 if you have 3 or more NPCs with usable plot hooks in the story NPCs must be named, worked into story; and able to come into future events without unreasonable circumstances.
