Your Characters - Part II

So, you will also need a list of possible character races, and their attribute bases. And, if it has been a while, or you're new to Palladium, you'll need the lowdown on the whole character creation process. It might not be possible to complete all of this ahead of time, but the more that can be done now, the less time we'll have to spend on this process once we start playing.

There will be a separate post about the race options for your character, and another about putting the pieces of your character together. If you are already familiar with Palladium/Rifts, you can be almost any kind of race or OCC you want; just let me know what you plan to do so I can help you out.

Some of you have expressed interest in the Rifts aspect of things, so I have provided an initial way in for you with an OCC/Race of my own creation, the Skedic. I will provide a whole post about this OCC and it origins for you to check out.

Be creative and wise in your choice of skills and former backround since this will effect some of the information that you receive. For example, someone who chooses to study Ancient Elven lore might find themselves in possession of detailed area maps of the Old Kingdom as well as legends and myths of the Elven people ( = treasure ). And the son or daughter of a merchant might know the ins and outs of the larger port cities around the world (and where to find difficult to locate resources).
