Preface

After all the explanations we have finally reached the actual character creation. If you want to look up any details, just take a look at the boxes labeled To look up that you can find on the Skill Sets and Abilities pages.

A short preamble: every human being is better - or worse - at doing certain things than others are. Some skills are easy to learn while others will be more of a challenge. As an example, if a person is physically fit, they are most likely working out in one way or another, and thus have more stamina than others.

A person who graduated from university usually has a broader range of knowledge and a stand-up comedian is probably good with people in some way.

Thus, the scores you get in your skill sets are based on the values in your Abilities.

Calculation

At the beginning every character starts with 400 ability points . First of all you should spend the points, in a way that suits your character, in your skill set. Thereafter count the points in the skill set subclasses and divide them by 10. A ability must not set to 0.

Here you should round.

Example:

                             129 Points in the Actions skill set = Actions 13

Once all your points are spent in your preferred abilities all what is left are two steps till your character is ( arithmetically) done.

Now we are about to calculate the eureka points. Take your points ability points and divide by 10.

Here you should round.

Example:

                             Actions 13 divide by 10 = 1,3 = 1 eureka points in actions
                             Actions 18 divide by 10 = 1,8 = 2 eureka points in actions

Abilities are also used to show how good or easy something is to be learned, therefore they have influence to the skills.

Take the ability value and add it to every skill belonging.

Example:

                            Woodcutting 50 + Actions 13 = Woodcutting 63

Now your character is ready!

Last but not least, your skills can not have more than 100 points. If you get higher during the calculation, take the surplus and spend them elsewhere in this given ability.

Here are two suggestions for maximizing the fun:

Avoid skills with low values. Spending one or even 5 points in every skill will not help you at all.
If a player wants this desperately, they can waive the ability bonus for certain skills.
