Okay, onto character creation details.

STATS- You start with 6 random numbers. To get each of these, roll 4d6, and drop the lowest of the 4, then total the remaining 3. You can roll them yourself if you wish, or make a post in this thread to reserve your character's space and I will post your 6 scores in there for you.

You then assign these 6 scores to your 6 stats... which are the following-

STR(Strength)- How physically strong your character is. Useful for melee attacks, lifting things, carrying things, and the climb, jump and swim skills.

DEX(Dexterity)- How nimble, agile and dexterous you are. Useful for fiddly things, for avoiding attacks, for attack rogue or archer style. Useful for the Balance, Escape, Hide, Move Silently, Lockpicking, Ride, tumble and use rope skills.

CON(Constituion)- How tough you are and how much endurance you have, useful for resistince disease and illness, enduring damage. Useful for the concentration skill.

INT(Intelligence)- How smart and clever you are. Useful for remembering things, learning things, figuring things out, casting spells, etc. Used in the appraise, craft, disable device, forgery, knowledge, search and spellcraft skills.

WIS(Wisdom)- How wise you are. While int is academic smart, wisdom is best described as street-smart or zen smart. Used in the Heal, Listen, Spot, Profession, Sense Motive and Surival Skills.

CHA(Charisma)- How good you are at dealing with people, talking, being popular, etc. Used in the Bluff, Diplomacy, Disguise, Gather Information, Handle Animal, Intimidate and Perform Skills. Used by priests for magic instead of Int.

Saves: Your Saves are based on the modifiers of your stats (I will edit in the modifiers and saves for you)
The saves themselves are Fortitude, which is based on constitution, Reflex, which is based on dex, and will, which is based on wisdom.

HP: This keeps track of how hurt you are. If you hit 0 HP, you fall unconscious and are at risk of dying outright. I will edit this in for you.

SKILLS (Each character starts with an amount of skillpoints determined by their INT stat. I will tell you how many skillpoints you have based on class and stat.)
When you post your skills, just type in the ones you have points in.

Note that it costs 2 pts to put 1 pt into a skill that isn't a class skill for your character.

Appraise: How good at examining things, aswell as determining their value.
Balance: Does what it says on the tin.
Bluff: How good at lying to people you are.
Climb: Do I need to explain this?
Concentration: How good at keeping focused despite distractions. Essential for spellcasting.
Craft: How good at making things/repairing things you are. Some example craft skills are;
Blacksmithing, Engineering, Woodworking, Alchemy, Fleshshaping (Skaven :P), Trapmaking, Fletching, Poison
Diplomacy: How good at convincing people of your point of view you are.
Disable Device: How good at disabling devices/disarming traps you are.
Disguise: How good at appearing to be someone you are not you are.
Escape: How good at escaping things such as traps or bindings you are.
Forgery: Skill at forging documents.

Intimidate: Skill at scaring people. Can use strength or charisma.
Jump: Does what it says on the tin.
Listen: Skill at hearing noises.

Profession: Skill at a profession. E.g. Candlemaking, streetsweeping, prostitution, tax collecting, etc.
Ride: Skill at riding animals.
Search: Skill at looting/finding things.
Sense Motive: Skill at telling when someone is deceiving you.
Sleight of Hand: Skill at concealing your actions/picking pockets.
Spellcraft: Skill at casting spells.
Spot: Skill at seeing things.
Survival: Skill at surviving in the wilds, making fires, navigating forests, etc.
Swim: Does what it says on the tin.
Tumble: Skill at moving past enemies without getting attacked, etc.
Use Rope: Skill at tying knots, climbing ropes, lassoing things, etc.

Feats: Feats are various special abilities/proficiencies. You get these based on class, plus one bonus one at char creation, and more bonus ones as you level up. I will assign these to you based on your characters description/bio rather than list the rather long list of them here.

Armour Class (AC): This is how good your defenses against attack are, based on your armour and dexterity (for dodging).

Languages: You get basic languages from your race, and extras based on your character.

Equipment: To start with you have whatever is appropiate to your character, within reason. But you might not get to keep it all!

Feats:


Special Abilities:


Languages:
Queekish

Equipment:
Hand Weapon
Warplock Pistol
Heavy Armour

Description:
Lurz is 5'6" tall, with a dark grey, but not quite black, coat of fur, once glossy but now dull due to his living conditions. He has a scar marring the right side of his face, running from above his right eye to the end of his muzzle, and his left ear was torn, clear from the rough twine that was used to sew it back together, which is now stuck there due to the flesh growing back around it.
His claws are unnatural, the real ones replaced by pieces of metal hammered in, which caused immeasurable pain but, he feels, was worth it for the 'extra' killing power, but he is missing the smallest toe on his left foot. There is a ring of fur around his right wrist which is darker than the rest, and even now contains matted fur, the remnants of it's daily blood bath.

Personality:
Lurz is a typical Stormvermin; he considers himself above every other Skavenslave, but will happily play the meek slave if it serves his needs - he's not stupid, although he certainly wasn't ever the brightest of his 'companions'. Due to this view, he is quite happy to kill any slaves who get in his way to make an example, and will do the same to clanrats of Clan Deathclaw, most of whom he's larger than, only being lower in the hierarchy because of Skritch's defeat.

History:
Lurz was born into Clan Skritch, and it was obvious from the beginning that he was going to be a Stormvermin; his fur and size gave that away. It wasn’t long before he joined the ranks of the Stormvermin, but no matter what he did, his rivals ended up ahead of him, always outmaneuvering him. In particular, he had a fondness for hating Ulzik Knife-Hand, who managed to outsmart him to the point of commanding the unit in which Lurz fought.
The main advancement in rank for Lurz came weeks before his downfall, when Ulzik ‘accidentally’ lost his head and he became Fangleader. Whilst Lurz had nothing to do with it, he declared it was his plot and none of his new subordinates had dared to confront him - especially when he tore into Ulzik’s body and ate his heart - between then and his fall from grace at the paws of Clan Deathclaw, he bathed his right paw in blood every day, hence the name ‘Bloody-handed’.
Weeks later, Clan Skritch was under attack by Clan Deathclaw and, despite the skill of Skritch Warp-eye (who, incidentally, managed to escape death) and the Grey Seer who’d attached himself to the Clan, the Clan was all but destroyed, and Lurz taken as a slave by Deathclaw.

-------------------------​

Hope this is OK so far, Sanai! If you could post in the Stat scores, I'll divide them up and finish the character creation? Any problems, just let me know!
I also haven't done equipment, because I have a query (which I kind of posted in the OOC) - if we're all Skavenslaves to begin with, we'd all have poor equipment? Or are we making an exception in this case, so I could have some things from the Stormvermin entry in the Armybook?

Tumble 2

Equipment:

Short sword, robes, some warpstone tokens.

Short Bio [Detailed coming up later....]
Rayskeek is utterly fanatic in his belief, that he is blessed by the Horned Rat himself and is destined for greatness. He just needs to find some warpstone to consume and a Warlord potent enough to make his dreams come true. His path has had many ups and downs, but he somehow always ends up playing in the winning team. As he is not tied to any particular clan, he's constantly trying to figure out who's the strongest rat in the tunnel and ally with him. He has also been actively supporting rumors, that anyone foolhardy enough to take his life would face an eternity of torment and doom along with other dark and horrible things, as the Horned Rat himself would exact vengeance...

Skills



Feats:


Special Abilities:
Has a pack of giant rats as pets, all of them heavily implanted with warpstone.

Languages:
Queekish

Equipment:
A warpstone tipped prod
Light armor

Description:
Ratsnik is a typical looking skaven, around five feet three inches, and has brown fur, nearly always matted with green powder as a result of his warpstone usage. He has small features, and a large green spike of warpstone on his shoulder, cutting into his bone, and giving him his name, Warpspike.

Personality:
Ratsnik is extremely curious, and this curiosity has made some of his slaves extremely unhappy with him as he experiments on them, implanting many different things into them, even live rats into his body, causing him to die, slowly,painfully,and spectacularly.

History
Ratsnik was born into Clan Moulder, and always expressed an aptitude for flesh craft, even as a young rat, he tried to melt two of his siblings together. He was inducted into the ranks of the pack masters at a young age, and quickly became one of the best in the clan. His pack of giant rats had easily killed more enemies then almost every other Packmaster, and he had no qualms about arranging for assassins to accidentally kill rivals. Soon, his favor in the clam caused many to band against him, and attack. He ran, as fast as he could, wandering away without knowing where he was going, soon running into a battle between two clans of skaven. He was captured by clan deathclaw after a vicious struggle, and became a slave for the clan.

Hope he is good Sanai, I might change the fluff a little bit, and I'll put in skills and stats when you give me them/when you put them in.
