Character Creation/ Applications

[danaoverland]

Also what are the starting level, or xp? and starting wealth and equipment options?

Using material from Player's Handbook, Unearthed Arcana, Dungeoneer's/Wilderness Survival Guides.

Roll 4d6, re-roll 1's, 7 times and keep the best 6.  You can roll a set of stats a second time and choose which group of stats you want for your character.   If you can't meet the minimum for the class you want, put the best stats in those spots and raise them to the minimum.  Everyone starts with 35,001 xp.  Remember to divide that if you are multiclass.  No evil.  No monster/evil races.  Starting realm is Greyhawk. 

Remember the 10% bonus to experience points for a prime stat of 16+.

We have a magic item list.  A lot of items have been taken already but look to see what you want.  If there is an item on the list that you think really fits your character and someone else already has it, let me know and we can work out a duplicate or an alternative.  And no picking all the most powerful items and then saying, "This really fits my character."    We've all had to share.  Like Aly, the Fighter/Cleric let Sumayl al-Akhir have the best Scimitar of Speed +4 and the best armor because it makes more sense that he have them as the tank, than her.  

If there's a magic item that says Sword +2 and you use a Spear, change it to a Spear +2.

I suggest you start by knowing the new Wizard.  He has not yet been introduced so you can be either his friend or just a companion you met in your travels.

ok thanks, what will my starting level be, I'm trying to decide between straight thief or multiclass fighter/thief

[GM Marvel]

As stated, you're starting experience points are 35,001.  In 2e the classes all have different experience point tables. If you're multi classed you divide the xp by two (17500xp each).  If you're triple classed then you would have 11,6667 xp's each class.  Remember the 10% bonus if you have stats 16+ in your prime stat.

You may not need to make a Thief unless you really want to play one.  Another player created a second character because he saw we needed a thief.  But if you really want to make a thief then he might change the concept for his character.

Stat #1:[1d6r2] = 4,[1d6r2] = 5,[1d6r2] = 5,[1d6r2] = 2 (4,5,5) = 14
Stat #2:[1d6r2] = 3, [1d6r2] = 3, [1d6r2] = 2, [1d6r2] = 6 (3,3,6) = 12
Stat #3:[1d6r2] = 3, [1d6r2] = 2, [1d6r2] = 3, [1d6r2] = 3 (3,3,3) = 9
Stat #4:[1d6r2] = 4, [1d6r2] = 5, [1d6r2] = 3, [1d6r2] = 4 (4,5,,4) = 13
Stat #5:[1d6r2] = 6, [1d6r2] = 3, [1d6r2] = 3, [1d6r2] = 2 (6,3,3) = 12
Stat #6: [1d6r2] = 5, [1d6r2] = 6, [1d6r2] = 5, [1d6r2] = 6 (5.6.6) =17
Stat #7:[1d6r2] = 2[1d6r2] = 2[1d6r2] = 4[1d5r2] = 4 (2,4,4) = 10

Therefore my stats will be
STR[12], CON[14], DEX[17], INT[10], WIS[[12], CHA[13]
Not a bad set of stats

can we use class kits from the rogues handbook

[GM Marvel]

Stat #1:[1d6r2] = 4,[1d6r2] = 5,[1d6r2] = 5,[1d6r2] = 2 (4,5,5) = 14
Stat #2:[1d6r2] = 3, [1d6r2] = 3, [1d6r2] = 2, [1d6r2] = 6 (3,3,6) = 12
Stat #3:[1d6r2] = 3, [1d6r2] = 2, [1d6r2] = 3, [1d6r2] = 3 (3,3,3) = 9
Stat #4:[1d6r2] = 4, [1d6r2] = 5, [1d6r2] = 3, [1d6r2] = 4 (4,5,,4) = 13
Stat #5:[1d6r2] = 6, [1d6r2] = 3, [1d6r2] = 3, [1d6r2] = 2 (6,3,3) = 12
Stat #6: [1d6r2] = 5, [1d6r2] = 6, [1d6r2] = 5, [1d6r2] = 6 (5.6.6) =17
Stat #7:[1d6r2] = 2[1d6r2] = 2[1d6r2] = 4[1d5r2] = 4 (2,4,4) = 10

Therefore my stats will be
STR[12], CON[14], DEX[17], INT[10], WIS[[12], CHA[13]
Not a bad set of stats

Remember you can roll for stats twice.

Yes you may use kits.

[GM Marvel]

Giant Vampires,  Omg,  /shudders. 

But yea, I'm good with playing a second character and going straight halfling rogue with him.  That way it opens up for the new guy to play what he wants.

See this @ danaoverland ?  You don't have to play a Thief.

[GM Marvel]

Hey @Sumayl al-Akhir , you're a Faris.  Is that a Fighter Kit from the fighter's handbook?  Or is this from Al-Qadim?

[danaoverland]

If I get the 10% Xp bonus to I apply that to the 35,001xp? or is it already included?

You add it only if you have a score of 16+ in your prime requisite.
