Character Creation: The Basics - Part Two

Almost Lost My Spoons!
Character Creation: The Basics

The next step is choosing a race, class and gender.

If this is a fantastic world where you have created your own race or are using a template, use that for some of your other "stats."

There are all kinds of websites out there that help with different races and classes. I find that Pathfinder has a lot of choices when it comes to medieval-style stories. BESM and FATE are good for futuristic or fantastic-modern settings.

The Chaotic Good Ace from last time is a guy, so that might weigh in to a few things in upcoming stages, but not here.
His class is fighter and his race is human.

His class:"fighter" means a few things from last time.  He has a high strength and constitution. His dexterity is not terribly "high" and because he's a tactician, he has a higher wisdom than intelligence and charisma.
His race: "human" has several 'archetypes' such as persistence, drives, endurance and ambition. Not all of these apply to our Chaotic Good Ace, but some do.  He's ambitious and has drive but  has little patience for diplomatic events.

We'll get to character strengths and flaws later.

Thanks and have a pleasant day!
