Character creation (Blashyyrk)

Most of this page is already known to experienced d&d players, however there are a few changes to fit into E6 that need to be pointed out, the major one being improving ability scores.

Ability score generation

Player may choose to use the elite array or use the point buy method. An ability score cannot exceed 18 before racial modifiers.

Elite array: Use the following as desired: 15, 14, 13, 12, 10, 8

Point buy: All ability scores start at 8. Take 25 points to spread among abilities. Ability scores under 14 are purchased at a 1-for-1 basis, however ability scores higher than 14 cost more as seen on table below. A PC should have at least 1 really good score.

Table: Point Buy Ability Costs

Ability score	Point Cost	Ability score	Point Cost
9	1	14	6
10	2	15	8
11	3	16	10
12	4	17	13
13	5	18	16

Alternative ability generation

Instead of the above two methods, a player could use random generation tables, here and here. Use the table standard(25) for rolls.

Improving ability scores

Every 3 levels you may raise any ability score by 1, i.e. at level 3 and 6. This does not follow standard point buy rules, all ability scores cost the same to raise. Ability scores cannot be raised over 18 + racial ability adjustment. As an example, a race with +2 constitution and -2 charisma can raise constitution up to a max of 20, and charisma to a max of 16.

Starting feats and traits

All first level characters start with 1 feat. Up to 2 traits may be chosen if desired.
