When you roll for your Ability scores!
You will roll you dice, I know that you will, everyone wants to roll dice It's good therapy . Anyway do not feel that you have to have incredabily high scores for your New charcter to succeed, It's the way that you play that makes It happen for you and the game.
If your GM thinks that to have fun you must be amazing in every Ability score then that just makes it harder for him in the long run because to find creatures that can beat you he has to make them harder, so It Is so much better to player with realistic scores to start with.
In the Players Hand Book It will give you guidlines on what makes a underacheaving or over rated Character.
Please do your best to follow those rules and I asure you you will not have a bad time playing the Hero that you want, but just make sure that all the players stick to the same ruls or It will off balance the whole game.
It would be like having a......... Lets say a 4th level hero in a party of 1st level heros who would do the most killing of monsters so ask your GM for the guideline and stick to them.
Ok
Here is our New Hero, as you can see the picture I have says that already I know he Is going to be a Wizard,we Do not have to name him yet but why don't we call him,
Bassel
Well we need Ability rolls.
Strength.........................9
Thats an ok start, makes him a normal person no real muscle but he Isn't weak iether, next.
Constitution................................7
That makes him below average, he couldn't run a marrathon anyway, next.
Dexterity....................................12
Thats good he Is light on his feet and nimble , next.
Intelligence...................................14
Thats great for a wizard he Is well read and has learned from it, next.
Wisdom..........................................12
He has great common sence and is perceptive, next.
Charisma.........................................10
He has leadership quality, Just like a politician not everyone will follow him.
Great thats the rolls done and I used just three d6 for each, we have a well shapped person to build upon, he isn't amazing but the option for play Is there. remember he Is just starting his hero career so give him chance to develop within the game.
His first 3 stats tell us his build and frame.
Dex is higher than Str & Con so he Is slim but agile. His last 3 stats tell us that he is academic with a great chance to lead.
That makes a great start to BASSEL.
