Check List
Here is a quick rundown on how to create your character for whatever level you’re starting at. You don’t need to follow the order provided.
Choose which God, if any, you want to champion, or none at all.
Choose a Species to receive your first Perk.
Choose a Devotion to show which god has influenced your life the most, and will give you additional things. If you go into Magic, you gain one free spell from your devotion.
Establish Honour. Every character has honour and a perspective on what honour means to them. Come up with what your character thinks honour is, then determine if they’re High, Neutral or Low honour within that definition. Most honourable characters tend to fight fairly and don’t kill unless needed.
Establish Attachment and Flaw. Attachment is what matters the most to your character. Flaw is your character’s shortcoming. The attachment and flaw should cause your character to either be very honourable or dishonourable.
Assign Skills. You start with 10 in each skill x the level you are. You can take away points from one skill and add it to another. By doing this you can only add half of what you take. You can even go into the negatives, to a -50. At every multiple of 10 you gain one in your modifier to that skill as well. A skill can only go up to 100; you can then prestige the skill beyond up to 150, but it costs double the skill points every point beyond 100.
Assign Special Skills. These also get 10 in each x the level you are and work the same as normal skills. You can’t transfer special skills into normal skills or vice versa.
Build Weapons. You get three weapons that start as a d4 and can either do Stab, Slash or Blunt Damage. You then can build weapons with your Weapon Currency, which is equal to your large martial modifier + 2. Each weapon uses the Weapon Currency separately; you can forgo one of your weapons to split the Weapon Currency in half, then use it on your other weapons.
Calculate Resources. Each special skill gives you a resource. Divine gives you Lumens, which is equal to half your large divine modifier + 10. Magic gives you Charges, which is equal to double your small magic modifier + 10. Martial gives you Stamina, which is equal to half your small martial modifier + 2.
Choose Abilities. These are related to your special skills and use up your resources. Divine gives you powers depending on what champion type you are: check out what god you’re chosen by for your free powers. Each champion gains a free passive power. You then get an additional power equal to your small divine skill. Magic gives you Spells: choose the powers from the gods on the basic list (found in Spells Section). You get as many spells as your small magic modifier. Martial gives you Manoeuvres; you gain a manoeuvre for each small martial modifier you have.
Choose Perks. Perks help build what your character can do, make them better at things, or change how a mechanic works all together. You gain one perk for every level you are + a free perk, meaning you don’t have to worry about the requirement of that perk.
Calculate Armour. There are three kinds: Physical, Light and Mental. Each starts at 10. PA adds your large Athletics modifier to it, LA adds your large Arcana , and MA adds your large Mind modifier.
Calculate Movement. Each character has 10 movements. Once per round of combat, you can expend your movement for free to move around the map. You also add your small agility modifier to your movement.
Calculate Chase actions. These are equal to 1/5 rounded down of your movement.
Calculate Range. Each character starts with 10 range + your small Perception modifier.
Calculate Health. Health is 20 + your small Endurance modifier, then times your level.
Calculate your Focus Threshold, which is equal to ¼ your maximum health.
