Character Creation

The first thing you need when you create a character is a name, maybe yours, maybe someone else’s. Then, you’ll pick one of the classes available to you. Standard classes are viking warrior, cat burglar, elementalist, and universal theurge. Pick one, and then figure out who your character is and what her personality is like. That last step is optional if you’re a power gamer. Finally, draw a picture of your character on the character sheet. This is not optional. We're serious. Do it now. The narrator will assign you a level. This is usually 5 if you’re playing a one-shot, 4 if it’s a continuing campaign. You pick a number of skills equal to your level plus 2. You also draw a number of cards equal to your level from the deck of your class when the game starts. You start with 1 race card. You start with loot cards equal to your wealth. If it's a one-shot, you usually start with 1 wealth. In a continuing campaign, wealth 0.

And that's it. If anyone else is still working on sheets after you're done, you can help them or make fun of them. We can't officially recommend the second option.
