This is the OOC thread for this game. You can find the game thread here.

Character Sheet
I'm afraid it's a rather long and stringy character sheet. There's just not a way to format it prettier in the forums, or if there is I don't know how to do it. If you know how, please share! I've also tried to put all the combat information at the beginning of the sheet, and the roleplay information toward the bottom.
HTML Code:
[B]Character Name:[/B]
[B]Player Name:[/B] 
[b]Character Description or Picture:[/b]
[B]Race:[/B]
[B]Class:[/B]
[B]STR:[/B]
[B]AGI:[/B]
[B]INT:[/B]
[B]WIS:[/B]
[B]CHA:[/B]
[B]CON:[/B]
[B]Speed:[/B]
[B]Encumbrance:[/B]
[B]Damage:[/B] (You might want several numbers here, including the damage of any weapons you carry!)
[B]Armor Class:[/B] (You should add/subtract your agility bonuses!)
[B]Abilities:[/B] (One, unless you have a racial or class bonus)
[B]Skills:[/B] (Ten, unless you have a racial or class bonus. It's probably a good idea to put your skill level beside each skill)
[B]Equipment:[/B]
[B]Equipment Weight:[/B] 
[B]Gold:[/B] (This should include what you have left over after buying your starting gear, as well as whatever you pick up along the way! I'm being nice and saying that gold doesn't weigh anything, even though it totally does!)

[B]Motivation:[/B] (Why are you adventuring? What are you doing here instead of back home with your family? Please note: I will only allow 2 characters to be orphans. If the orphan slots are taken, you'll have to come up with something less cliché.)
[B]Weakness:[/B] (Everyone has some kind of weakness, whether they're gullible, or afraid of heights, or will do anything for a Klondike bar.)
[B]Character Biography:[/B] (If you want to have something secret in your background that might affect gameplay, send Wyrmskyld a PM! She loves players who make her job easier.)
[B]Anything else you think we should know?:[/B]

Filling Out the Character Sheet.X

  • Pick a name, and your race and class. Make sure to note any bonus skills/abilities while you're doing that.
  • Next, pick a row of numbers from the Attributes section, and assign them to your attributes. Remember to calculate racial attribute changes!
  • Speed is really how fast you can move in a hurry. The easy way of calculating it is to add your AGI and your CON scores and then divide by 4 and round down. You'll move that number of feet per second when walking, and that number of yards per second when running.
  • How much you're carrying will modify your speed, so you'll probably need to fill out your equipment list before your encumbrance. There's a guide for calculating encumbrance at the beginning of the equipment section, and don't forget your weapons and armor count as part of that encumbrance! I will allow you to take a turn to drop a backpack at the beginning of combat, increasing your speed, but if you wind up having to run away, you might lose a lot of gear!
  • Weapon damage is mainly determined by the weapon, and can be found in that section, but your STR score helps a lot! Every 2 levels of STR above 10 give you +1 damage, and every 2 levels below 10 give you -1. A STR of 16 means +3 damage!
  • Armor helps keep you alive! Armor classes are discussed in the Armor section, and you also get +1 AC for every two AGI above 10, or -1 for every two AGI below 10.
  • Each character gets one Ability, plus any bonuses from their race or class packages. I'll try not to veto any abilities people come up with, but I will suggest limitations to them if I think they're too powerful. Nobody wants to be in a party with Superman when everyone else has Aquaman-level powers.
  • Skills! Ten, plus any racial or class bonuses. I highly recommend that everyone have at least one social skill and at least one weapon skill. Your skill level is equal to whatever attribute it's linked to in the skills list. Some skills have multiple attributes. In those cases, use whichever is highest.
  • You have 1000 gold to spend on equipment, armor, and weaponry. If you have any left over, it goes in your 'gold' section. If someone with lots of leftover gold wants to help out someone with less, I won't argue, but you have to come up with an interesting reason why you're sharing, and it has to go into both your backstories. Did you hire them as a bodyguard? Did they save your life once? Do you owe them gambling debts? Make it good! And don't forget to add up how much all of your equipment weighs! If you want to have a bag that you drop when you enter combat, it's a good idea to split this into total weight vs. combat weight. Oh, and by the way, if you buy something and it's not on your character sheet, you don't have it! Whenever you get new loot, you should PM Wyrmskyld what you've added so she can update your sheet!
  • Finally, fill out the role play/character info section of the sheet, and you're done!
