Character Creation Rules « Result #4 on Jul 18, 2006, 10:51pm »
1. When you make your character, you should take into consideration what your character does, his/her lifestyle, have they seen all the horros of the weird west? Do they understand completely everything that is going on?. This could all be added into the history.
2. You will have 25 points to spread out among the following. Skills (Each Skill will have a cost next to it) Proficencies (Each Profincency will have a cost next to it) Aptitudes (Each Aptitude will have a cost next to it.) Hindrences (These points from Hindrences will be used to buy your Edges)
3. When choosing your class, please remember to choose one that will fit the character. Do not just take "Gunslinger" because you get to play with guns, if Huckster will better fit the character.
4. When deciding your characters Worst Nightmare, it should be something that will hinder them if it comes true. This is something they should worry about all the time, but not worry about it so much they cannot function. Ex. Docs Worst Nightmare is losing Lacey to the Reckoners.
5. Starting Equipment will be purchased during character creation. A List of money for each class is in another thread. When you are done purchasing what you need, put the remaining money onto your character sheet. This money will then in turn be added to you Money Hack in your profile.
6. If you have any questions please feel free to ask me, either starting a new thread in the Character Help room or pming me.
