Pre-Generated Characters 1R

Using Pre-Generated Characters

When choosing a pre-generated character, there are three quick steps to follow:

1. Select a pre-generated character.

2. Decide on their history, using the charts below.

3. You're done!

In this book we will introduce 8 sample characters.

These write-ups will provide their race's characteristics, how to use the character and a guide on how to progress that character. For now, don't overthink things, just pick a character you like the look and feel of. Important information, such as classes, combat feats and racial abilities will be bolded, so as to make it easier to see the main aspects of the characters at a glance.

Determining Personal History

Once you've decided on which pre-generated character you would like to use, the

next step is determining your character's history. Personal history gives you the details behind your PC's birth and experiences, and is useful for determining your PC's personality.

Personal history has no effect on your character's in-game abilities, but it is useful for working out how your PC would act. The GM can use this history as well, bringing in characters related to your PC's past.

Personal history is determined in the table below. You can choose for yourself or allow the dice to decide, it's up to you. If you choose to roll you will need to roll 3 dice.

If the first roll is 1-3 use Table A, if the dice comes up 4-6 use Table B. The results of the second and third roll will decide one of the PC's past experiences.

You can choose up to 3 events for your PC's past. If you dislike the result of a roll feel free to roll again, or simply choose a result that you like. If you wish, you may also talk to your GM and create an event that does not appear on the tables.
