Character creation (Blashyyrk)
From D&D Wiki
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[edit]
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.
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[edit]
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[edit]
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[edit]
All first level characters start with 1 feat. Up to 2 traits may be chosen if desired.
