Standard Abilities, Strength, Dexterity, Wisdom, Intelligence, Constitution and Charisma are used.
Scores are generated thus:\u00a0 Roll 4d6 seven times.<\/span>\u00a0 Discard the lowest number from each set of 4.\u00a0 Discard the lowest total.<\/strong><\/p>\n

DO NOT FORGET the racial bonuses per the PHB! (Listed below.)<\/p>\n

Starting Hit Points are determined by Class.\u00a0 Use the MAXIMUM number for that class<\/strong> Hit Dice. Example” Clerics are 1d8 hit dice.\u00a0 Start the character with 8 points PLUS any Constitution bonus that may apply.
Future level increases will see Hit Points awarded per the Dice Roll.<\/p>\n

If your character’s stats meet the qualifiers for the 10% Experience Point Bonus for your class, that bonus DOES apply.<\/p>\n

Races:<\/strong>
The following Races are available for Player Characters.\u00a0 ONLY<\/strong> these races!<\/p>\n


Humans<\/a>:<\/strong>\u00a0 The most common race. There are several cultural and ethnic types available, see the section on Humans<\/a> for details.\u00a0 ALL human player characters gain +10% on Experience Points<\/strong> earned.\u00a0 This is in addition to any class modifiers from high ability scores!

Elves<\/a>:<\/strong> These are VERY RARE! No more then one per party without consulting the DM!\u00a0 The most common variety of Elf is the Wood Elf.\u00a0 All PC Elves are Wood Elves<\/span>.
Elves have ‘preferred weapons’ receiving a +1 to Hit with Longsword, Broadsword or Shortsword (Pick one.) AND +1 to hit with Shortbow or Longbow (Pick one.)\u00a0 Elves may use these preferred weapons regardless of class, with some restrictions. For example, elven thieves are restricted to short bows, as long bows are not allowed to thieves.\u00a0 NOTE: PCs are not obligated to use the preferred weapons, but these are the only weapons that the elf PC will receive To Hit bonus for.
Modifiers: DX +1\u00a0 CN -1<\/p>\n

Half Elves<\/a>:<\/strong> As with Elves.\u00a0 These are even rarer! No more then one per party without consulting the DM!

OR<\/strong> +1 to hit with Shortbow or Longbow (Pick one.)
