Two methods of generating characters;

1. 4d6 discard the lowest, roll 7 times discard the lowest. Arrange in any order.

2. Point buy-my system. all stats start at 9, do any racial modifers first. Then you expend points on a 1 to 1 basis until you reach 16, to go to 17 costs 2 points, and from 17-18 is three points. So to go from 9-18 in a stat will require 12 build points. The pool is from 24-27 points.

The method of generation is voted on by the group.

NEW 1/25/08 Non class skills only cost one point but are still limited by cross class skill limits. New campaigns

NEW 5/26/08 The Duskblade and Knight from PHB 2 will be allowed. Check racial restrictions.

I have restrictions on character races and classes. I freely admit to bias to certain combinations of race and class. For example there will never be a dwarvish wizard or sorcerer in my campaign. I have also compiled the list of allowable classes for the main part of my campaign from the core and other books and the races allowed for them.

CLASSES ALLOWED: Core book all, Swashbuckler, scout, spellthief, psion, pyschic warrior, soulknife, spirit shaman, , Duskblade,knight guttermage (book of Roguish luck-Malhavoc press)

PRESTIGE CLASSES ALLOWED; Fist and Sword-devoted defender, warmaster, tribal protector. Complete Warrior-cavilier, drunken master, halfling outrider, tattooed monk, hunter of the dead, order of the bow, spellsword.
