Character Creation 

Character creation is made much simpler using the Character Generation Worksheet on page 388 of the Player's Handbook

Characters are defined by the following attributes: Strength, Constitution, Agility, Intelligence, Education, & Empathy. All of the stats except Empathy range from 1-10.  Empathy ranges from 0-6.  Stats may be determined by either rolling 2d6-2 (rerolling 0s) for each stat except empathy which is 1d6-1, or distributing 36 points amongst the stats, with points spent on empathy costing double.

The remaining details of character creation are laid out in the book pages 15-38, but the majority of character creation is performed by selecting "career terms".  Each of these terms will allocate either a certain number of points in a given list of skills, or will allow the player to allocate a certain number across several skill options and potentially grant the character long-term NPC contacts. Each term will also age the character by 4 years (with one exception).  All characters start at 17 and your total terms take determines your age.  At the end of each term, you roll a 1d10 and if you roll less than your total number of terms, your character has had their "introduction to the Dark Invasion" and goes through the character completion steps.  You can also choose to stop after any term.  As your character ages there is a chance that your physical stats will drop due to the creeping decrepitude of age.

In the character completion steps, you determine how you "muster out" which defines the character of your introduction to the dark and helps determine your final starting cash for equipment purchases, starting initiative, increased empathic power, etc.

Character sheets will be managed through shared google Sheets. I am working on a character sheet that I will copy and share out to each player as they join.  We will be using Unseen Servant for dice rolling (Campaign ID: 879)

ABOUT US
A gaming group started in late 2005 when several members (from all over the world) came together on a long-running forum website called Plothook.net (formally known as Highmoon.net). Several games transformed from a by-the-book format to highly modified versions that became new hybrid systems with completely custom rules and abilities. Ten years later, these faithful players wanted to secure their work and their stories, becoming the basis of these forums.
