Question about spell selection for Elves. Can I just choose which ones I want? Or are they determined randomly?

So far I have:
- Read Magic

With Int 13 I should have 2 more, correct? Thinking:
- Detect Magic is quintessential
- Last slot TBD (checking the spell list now)

Yes, just choose from the 12 MU spells. Sleep will make you popular.

Chargen rolls for BaltoBruiser

Strength 13
Intelligence 15
Wisdom 13
Dexterity 12
Constitution 14
Charisma 11
Gold 9

Think about what you want to play, and if you can do it with these stats. I will re-roll once if requested.

[Rex]

Nice set for several classes.

[Edeldhur]

Yeah, those are pretty good :O

[TheMyth]

Nice set for several classes.

I thought it was a better set than 8 5 4 9 12 7 10.

[Rex]

Yes I would agree with that evaluation.

[Edeldhur]

Definitely better

On spells: planning on going with Read Magic (bonus), Detect Magic (1 x level 1 spell per day), and… Either Protection from Evil or Light, since they are both versatile and useful in more than one situation.

I plan on playing a cleric of Shalamar. I will switch GOLD with Intelligence and then drop that to 11 to increase Wisdom to 13. I will work up the character sheet soon.

[Rex]

Good choice. Multiple clerics of different deities tend to make for a strong group in my experience.

[BaltoBruiser]

Do we have a thief in the party yet?

[TheMyth]

No Thief yet.

A stereotypical healer Cleric, eh? I have 2 ideas for your character's extra item....

Chargen rolls for BaltoBruiser

Strength 13
Intelligence 15
Wisdom 13
Dexterity 12
Constitution 14
Charisma 11
Gold 9

So here are my thoughts:
1) Flip Dexterity and Intelligence
2) reduce the 12 that is now Intelligence to 10 adding a point to Dex,
3) reduce Wisdom to 11 adding another point to Dex
4) Flip Charisma and Gold

STR 13
INT 10
WIS 13
DEX 16
CON 14
CHR 9
Gold 110

I think the only stat switch you can do is with gold. But TheMyth will probably pipe in. Good news is if you can flip your Dex and Int, that means I can also swap my Str and Con for a whopping 18Str!

The only flip is GOLD. And only STR, INT, & WIS can be dropped (to a minimum 9) to raise DEX.

So....

Strength 13
Intelligence 15 -6 = 9
Wisdom 13 -4 = 9
Dexterity 12 +5 = 17
Constitution 14
Charisma 11
Gold 9

If you want DEX at 18, you can drop STR to 11.

[Edeldhur]

Still a pretty sweet stat array

[BaltoBruiser]

The only flip is GOLD. And only STR, INT, & WIS can be dropped (to a minimum 9) to raise DEX.

OK, my bad. How about this:

Strength 13
Intelligence 15-6 = 9
Wisdom 13 -2 = 11
Dexterity 12 + 4 = 16
Constitution 14
Charisma 11 9
Gold 9 11

Cool. It's always interesting to see what choices other people make.

I think my cleric is basically done. Let me know if you think I missed anything or you would like more detail etc. He only has 4 days standard rations but is down to only 8sp left. I can do a page like your template if you want once you OK him.

According to the OSE equipment list, standard rations are 5gp for 7 days. Where did you find a way to buy 4 days worth?

I'd prefer all PCs start out using the same resources and options. Something like rations can be bought in-game if necessary.
