how making a character goes is:

• prob get a name / description / portrait if you want. Smik did up like 400 in that thread, or have an ai do it, or poach one from gis, or don't
  
• pick 3 skill. You just entirely make the skill up. You can do 3 separate ones, or one at level 3, or 2 & 1. Use your imagination, whatever
  actual real examples: 2-hand hammers, smug wizard, talk good, surgeon, fire breath, cooks good, knows herbs, siege operator, minor noble, juggling, chainmail, can fly, writer
  
• you are level 1 and have 3 hp. You also get +1hp for every level of "fighting"-type skill you made up.
  
• you can optionally have a physical size: [ smallest | small | medium | big | biggest ] & this doesn't do anything except change your equipment size and if you can go in a cartain size passage.
  examples are like: [ gnome | dwarf | human | uh, ork | troll ] & if you don't pick you're medium. For a gnome a shortsword is like a claymore & uses that skill, that type of thing. Troll is too big to use a knife.
  
• the generous gm will give u the cheapest shittiest version of the gear you need to operate your skills. You also get and the clothes on your back.
  
• if you already had a char from an older thread you can import if you want i guess we'll figure it out
  

how doing anything works:

• you want to do something you can just post about it, but if loving it up would have consequences you need to
  
• look at your skills, any look like you can use them to do what you wanna do? you get 1d20 + an extra d20 for each skill you use when doing the thing.
  
• i can use my posting rig to roll this for u or you can do it if you don't cheat. https://orokos.com can do this or idk post a pic of actual dice, nerd
  
• you can use any number of skills at the same time that you can claim makes sense. If it sounds like bullshit to me i will veto
  
• your roll vs the opposed roll whoever is higher wins. if it's a tie you barely win
  
• armor and weapons do damage based off what kind they are and usually skill rolls just do your chance to hit
  
• there might be some different books that are pretty strong & do poo poo, or potions or whatever
  
• if your first dice is 1 you crit failed. if it's a 20 you crit succeeded.
  
• you can still beat the roll and crit fail or botch the roll and crit succ, it just changes how it happens
  

level up & down:

• when you do enough bullshit i'll say u leveld up. you get +1 hp
  
• you also get to add +1 to a skill you have, or start a new skill at 1. If it's a fight skill you get another hp.
  
• if you get a skill to 5 you will get a quest and if you do that quest it's like a rad capstone power
  
• if you want gear you have to buy it from somebody or find it lying on the ground or make it yourself
  
• your level bracket says how much free stuff you have, as determined by me that it's reasonable
  < 5: you freely have access to literal garbage and trash, possibly even dirt
  <10: you automatically can get basic stuff and scrounge up some money
  <15: you automatically can get decent stuff and money based on your rep
  <20: idk if anybody lived this long? prob you'd get like maybe even npc help?
  
• if you hit 0hp you instantly faint & will prob die unless somebody does something about it. you can stay as or stay dead for real
  
• probably you will have to retire if you get past level 20 idk. i feel like if anybody dies everyone should get 6ers or something
  

In the (less than) fabled town of Cramstone, not so much is going on. Right now it's getting towards dusk and most people are closing up their Shops, going to Ye Tavern to blow the day's wages, or just going home.

To the South, is the gate and road leading into the Wilderness. To the North, is the gate and New Road that crosses the bridge & leads to the town of Harper.

In Ye Tavern the old timers & regulars have already been swapping tales of General Bullshit and Rumors, like usual.

lesse, i'm callin it 3hp, plus ix gets:

• magic staff: if you get some downtime you can roll a spell to put in it, and later use that roll instead of rolling when you do it like normal. But it only holds 1 at a time, and it has to be fire related. empty rn.
  
• mystery bag: can to pull something or other out. what it is will ofc, be a mystery, and probably not incredibly amazing.
  
• couple sets of mage clothes. Basically just normal clothes in mage style.
  
• $10 in cold hard copper coins.

4hp &:

• 50' rope
  
• tailor's kit (mediocre)
  
• blowgun & a grip of wood darts. Can still skewer a rat with these, 1dmg. If you got access to wood and a little time you can splinter off more ez.
  This & stuff like crossbows, w/e, all shoot 1 per turn, reload is in the same timeframe as actually aiming and shootin.
  
• Several sets of gnome-style clothes & ofc The Hat
  
• 10 coppers, all minted in Nchuleft. Got the Earl's face even.
