We will be using the races and classes from the Players Handbook.

The method for determining Ability Scores will be as follows:
Roll 4d6, discard the lowest die.
Roll 6 times.
If you do not have two scores of 15 or better, discard all die rolls and try again.
No secret rolls folks, everyone must be able to see the dice rolls.
All classes are available except for Assassin (No evil characters for this game)
When you have decided on race and class, mail me for your age die roll.
Obviously Race and Age mods take effect after you assign your ability rolls, just to make sure everyone gets best advantage from their age mods
Young Adult = -1 Wisdom & +1 Constitution
Mature = +1 Strength & +1 Wisdom
I don't think there is any chance of characters being in the older categories but the mods are cumulative so a mature character ends up with +1 STR, +1 CON and the WIS mods cancel each other out.
Don't forget to make a 1d100 roll for you Secondary Skill

Hit Points
When you get to the point of rolling for your Hit Points folks, re-roll anything below average/half. This is only available at first level, I would hate to see anyone killed by a kobold!
Background/Description
Do not forget to write a background and broef description for your charcater. N characters can have the area on the starting map as their place of origin, all characters are from lands far away. You are not familiar with the local area, nor do you know any of the other PC's before the game begins or any local personalities.

Character Sheets
A standard character sheet, customised to my games will be provided for all players.
I have experimented with other players character sheets but they tend to slow the game down when I need to go looking for data on a sheet I did not design so please do not change the format when you are editing or updating your sheets.
