ABILITY SCORES:

When determining stats and adjustments due to ability scores use the
AD&D 2nd ed. PlayerÕs Option: Skills & Powers, pgÕs 12-21. Age, Race,
and Sex modifiers are used iaw AD&D 2nd ed. PlayerÕs Option: Skills &
Powers, pgÕs 22-23, 37-38 PlayerÕs Handbook pgÕs 32-33. The following
ability scores are used in this Campaign. Strength, Stamina & Muscle;
Intelligence, Reason & Knowledge; Wisdom, Intuition & Wilpower;
Dexterity, Aim & Balance; Constitution, Health & Fitness; Charisma,
Leadership & Appearance. In addition a Renown score is also computed.

ABILITY SCORE MODIFIERS: Aging and racial modifiers are used when
determining a characters ability scores. See PlayerÕs Handbook pgÕs
32-33. In addition, age modifiers may be applied to a characters
existing ability scores due to some unforseen circumstances. Watch out
for those ghosts.

ABILITY SCORE ROLLING: After a player has rolled for all stistics the
results are shown to the DM. The DM may then makes any changes to the
ability scores as appropriate. In general if the DM changes any ability
scores the changes will be balanced. For example the DM may lower a
characters charisma by two points, and then raise the same characters
Dexterity by two points. Thus balancing the change. My campaign
maintains three separate die rolling methods for generation of player
character statistics. They are as follows:

METHOD 1: Roll three six sided dice six times for each ability score.
METHOD 2: Roll four six sided dice five times. Take out the lowest die.
METHOD 3: Roll four six sided dice four times. Take out the lowest die.
If that die is a three or less you may reroll it a number of times equal
to itÕs value (i.e. 1, 2, or 3 times). The final result of that roll(s)
must be used to replace the value of the second lowest die. Example.
Gomar the Barbarian (a Warrior) is rolling for his Strength. He rolls
4d6. The dice come up 3, 4, 6, 6. Gomar takes the die that rolled the
three and rerolls it.Hoping to get higher than a 4 to replace the second
highest roll. On the first roll Gomar rolls a 2 ÒUgh!, That no goodÓ. He
rolls again. This time the result is a 5. ThatÕs pretty good. Gomar may
stop here and take a 17 (5, 6, 6), or he may roll once more, hoping to
get a 6. Gomar chooses to go for the gusto and rolls a 2. ÒUGH!Ó Gomar
ends up with a 14 (2, 6, 6). Oh well, at least he gets three more
chances.
