Character Creation Rules:
Game System: AD&D 1e by the book, except where noted below.
Tone: Pulp, low fantasy, swords and sorcery.
Stats: Choose from one of the following arrays, and assign as you like. No modifications except for racial. Fyi, each array has an average of 12.5.
A) 18, 14, 13, 12, 10, 8
B) 17, 15, 13, 12, 9, 9
C) 16, 14, 13, 13, 10, 9
D) 15, 15, 15, 11, 10, 9
Race: Only Humans. Please see Races of Men.
Class: Any from 1e PHB except assassins. No Unearthed Arcana except Barbarians.
The Bard's prerequisite scores are: Cha of 14, Wis and Dex of 12, Int and Str of 10.
The Barbarian's prerequisites are: Str of 15, Con and Dex of 13.
Starting XP: 2,502 points each.
Hit Points: Maximum for first level. You’ll roll the rest on the US dice roller. Re-roll 1s.
Alignment: No evil or chaotic neutral characters.
Starting GP: As per the players handbook, x2 due to your xp.
Starting Magic Items: One per character, a +1 item or equivalent. (Buy the weapon or armor with your starting gold, and then bestow the +1 upon it.)
Barbarians do not start with a magic item as per their restriction. They get a +1 to Str, Con or Dex instead. Player's choice.
Unseen servant dice roller will be used for tracking all rolls.
Campaign Code is 430.
The world is Conan's Age of Hyboria by Robert E. Howard.
I anticipate subterranean exploration, ferocious battles, weird mystery, and extraordinary character interaction.
Roleplay over rollplay.
