We start to generate an elven warrior. The process is started by
rolling stats; elf starts with following modifiers:DEX +2, INT +1, WIS -1, CHA +2 We roll 6d6 for STR, and get 1,2,3,4,6,3, resulting as STR +0. Same is done for each other stat, with finals as DEX +3, CON -2, INT +3, WIS -1, CHA +2. For CON and INT, one modifier dice is rerolled (because they are at limits), resulting as CON -1 (roll 2) and INT still +3 (roll 6). Next we have 3 rerolls, starting with CON and getting +0 for it. For second reroll, we again try CON, gaining again +0. Last roll is yet tried to CON, gaining -1 this time, so we keep +0. Final stats are: STR +0, DEX +3, CON +0, INT +3, WIS -1, CHA +2 So we have a very clever and perceptive warrior base. Elves have as initial skills one language (elven), stealth and one general skill, which we pick as some common language. Base hit points are 4+CON, so they are 4. Destiny base for our elf is -3 (+4-7). Unless we start with previously earned experience, the elf base is now ready, and we can skip to starting equipment, background etc. Generating Levels For this example, we start to generate levels for our elf. For first level, we first roll for new hit points (HPs). We roll d8, d8 and d4+CON, selecting highest. Rolls are 1,3 and 1, and so the elf gains only 3 hit points more, totalling now 7. The GM rolls for extra destiny, and one destiny point is gained with d10 roll 3 or more. Now we select our first advancement, which is naturally warrior advancement for an elf warrior. Thus we gain 5 warrior and/or general skills, and 2 free picks. For these skills, we take melee (2 skills), marksmanship, weapon skill-1h swing, and load-fighting. For free picks, we take +1 CON and +2 hit points, going to 10 hit points. For second level, we first roll for HPs, rolling 3,3 and 2 (including that +1 for CON). Cursing our luck, we add 3 to hit points, totalling now 13. GM again rolls for additional destiny point against 3. For second advancement, we again take warrior advancement, and as skills, melee (2 skills), marksmanship, load-fighting, and weapon-skill, bows. For free picks, we again take +1 CON and +2 HP, totalling now in 16. For third level, we roll for 1,7 and 6 HPs, gaining 7 more. GM rolls agaisnt this 7 for additional destiny point. Our elf now has 23 HPs. |
Again we take a warrior advancement and melee and marksmanship skills,
and as new skills, dodge and first-aid. For free picks, we take +1 STR
and +2 hit points, totalling now 25.

We gain 4 bonus from DEX, and 3 bonus from melee skill, but it is worsened by 1 because of our load, so the final AC is -4, -5 against melee attacks (-1 bonus from sword) When paralyzed, AC is 2. Combat: Our elf has +7 to-hit (+6 melee, DEX/2 = +2, -1 from load) in melee, and +8 to-hit with ranged attacks. Damage from long sword is d8+2, and with long bow, d10+2. |
