Mortality Part 1: Step-By-Step Character Creation Picking Your Race Building Timothy Part 1 Jack decides that he wants to play a small, nimble and charismatic character. He chooses to play a Lightfoot Halfling, a race that gives a bonus to Dexterity and Charisma, named Timothy Swiftheel. Picking Your Background Building Timothy Part 2 Picking Your Class Building Timothy Part 3 Ability Scores Your character has several ability scores which affect how good at certain tasks your character is. Generating Ability Scores When generating ability scores, there are several methods of generating scores. An ability score cannot exceed 15 or be below 6 before racial modifiers. Rolled Stats When rolling ability scores, roll 3d6 and note down the result. Now do this 5 more times for the rest of your stats. Advantages: ● Gives more player agency when creating characters. ● Can lead to more interesting and engaging stories. Disadvantages: ● Can lead to some players being exceptionally more / less powerful than others Standard Array Advantages: ● Quick and easy to use ● Fair to all players Disadvantages: ● Provides very little player agency over ability scores Point Buy Advantages: ● Gives players the most agency over where they want their ability scores Disadvantages: ● Can lead to very 1-dimensional characters or min-max play Building Timothy Part 4 Jack decides that he would like to roll his stats. He starts by rolling 3d6 (rerolling any 1’s) and totalling them up, he does this 5 more times and ends up with an array of 9, 10, 12, 10, 10, 18 Because his stats can’t be higher than 15 before racial modifiers, his 18 becomes a 15 instead leaving him with Pg 2 Part 1: Step-By-Step Character Creation

Mortality an array of 15, 12, 10, 10, 10, 9 in which to place his stats. Jack’s character, Timothy Shortstride is a rogue, so Jack decides to place his 15 into Dexterity first followed by his 12 into Intelligence. Jack decides that due to Timothy’s small stature, the 9 makes sense to be placed in Strength. The three 10’s get placed in Constitution, Wisdom and Charisma respectively. Variant: Rolled Array The DM rolls the ability scores using 3d6 and rerolling 1’s. This array is then used by the players to create their characters. Advantages: ● Prevents a character from having considerably higher or lower stats than the rest of the party. Disadvantages: ● Very few individual difference in ability scores other than where they are placed Hand Dominance When you create your character, roll a d100 and consult the table below to determine which hand is your dominant hand. Hand Dominance D100 Dominant Hand 1-89 Right 90-99 Left 100 Ambidextrous Using your Non-Dominant Hand If you make an attack roll with a weapon that lacks the two-handed property or the twin property using your non-dominant hand, you incur a -2 penalty. Ambidexterity If you roll Ambidextrous on the table, you gain the Ambidextrous feat (detailed in Part 7: Feats) Building Timothy Part 5 Jack next rolls a d100 to determine Timothy’s dominant hand, he rolls a 55 so Timothy is right-handed.

Mortality Part 2: Using Ability Scores Ability Scores & Modifiers Each of a creature's abilities has a score, a number that defines the magnitude of that ability. An ability score is not just a measure of innate capabilities, but also encompasses a creature's training and competence in activities related to that ability. A score of 10 or 11 is the normal human average, but adventurers and many monsters are a cut above average in most abilities. A score of 18 is the highest that a person usually reaches. Adventurers can have scores as high as 20, and monsters and divine beings can have scores as high as 30. Each ability also has a modifier, derived from the score and ranging from -5 (for an ability score of 1) to +10 (for a score of 30). The Ability Scores and Modifiers table notes the ability modifiers for the range of possible ability scores, from 1 to 30. Ability Scores and Modifiers Score Modifier Score Modifier 1 -5 16 - 17 +3 2 - 3 -4 18 - 19 +4 4 - 5 -3 20 - 21 +5 6 - 7 -2 22 - 23 +6 8 - 9 -1 24 - 25 +7 10 - 11 0 26 - 27 +8 12 - 13 +1 28 - 29 +9 14 - 15 +2 30 +10 Increasing Ability Scores At 4th level, and again at later levels, characters get the option to take a feat in order to gain a special ability of their choice. Some of these feats raise one of a character’s ability scores by 1 to a maximum of 20. Advantage and Disadvantage Proficiency Ranks Proficiency ranks represent your character’s knowledge and accuracy of performing tasks. When determining what bonus you get from your rank, consult the table below: Proficiency Ranks Rank Symbol Bonus Pg 4 Part 2: Using Ability Scores

Mortality Untrained — 0 Novice ✦ +2 Apprentice ✦✦ +4 Adept ✦✦✦ +6 Expert ✦✦✦✦ +8 Master ✦✦✦✦✪ +10 Gaining Proficiency Ranks Character Points Character Points (CP) may be used to improve existing skills or gaining ranks in new skills, by spending a number of character points consulting the table below. Each time you gain a level, you gain CP equal to your new level: 2 CP at 2nd level, 3 CP at 3rd level, and so on. When determining how many character points are required to improve a skill, the cost is the difference between the point cost of the desired new rank and the point cost of the existing rank. For example, to improve a character’s rank from Apprentice to Adept would cost 3 points and increasing the rank from Adept to Expert would cost an additional 4 points. Character Ranks Rank Symbol Total Point Cost Novice ✦ 1 Apprentice ✦✦ 3 Adept ✦✦✦ 6 Expert ✦✦✦✦ 10 Master ✦✦✦✦✪ 15 Feats At certain levels, Characters can select feats that may grant proficiency ranks in certain skills, instruments, or tools. These features may not raise a character’s proficiency rank past their rank maximum. Magic Magical items may possess knowledge or skills that they imbue into their wielder whilst they are attuned to them. Ranks gained from a magic item only persist as long as the character has the item in their possession, and the character is attuned to the item. Ability Checks Contests Sometimes, characters will attempt ability checks against another creature, when this happens, it is called contesting. Such examples of contests would be grappling, tripping, and shoving all detailed later in Part 11: Combat When resolving a contest, the process is quite simple: both creatures roll the required skill check, and the highest result wins, if there is a tie, both creatures roll a flat d20 until one creature rolls higher than the other. Pg 5 Part 2: Using Ability Scores

Mortality Skills Each ability covers a broad range of capabilities including skills that characters or monsters can be proficient in. A skill represents a specific aspect of an ability score, and an individual’s proficiency in a skill that demonstrates a focus on the subject (A character’s starting proficiencies are determined at character creation, and a monster’s skill proficiencies are listed in its stat block.) For example, a Strength check might reflect a character’s ability to force open a door, maintain their grip on a ledge, or to swim through treacherous waters. Each of these aspects for Strength has an associated skill: Force, Grip, and Swim respectively. So a character who has proficiency in the Force skill is particularly good at breaking open doors, containers or moving large objects but may be less skilled at swimming even though both skills are Strength based. Passive Checks A passive check is a check that doesn’t involve a die roll. This type of check can be used to represent the average result for a task done repetitively such as searching for secret doors or discerning lies. This type of check is useful when the DM wants to secretly determine whether or not a character would succeed or not, such as noticing a hidden monster. Here’s how to calculate a character’s total for a passive check: 10 + All modifiers that apply to the check. For example, if a 1st-level character has a Wisdom of 15 and one rank in the Spot skill, he or she has a passive Wisdom (Spot) score of 14. The rules on hiding in the “Dexterity” section below rely on passive checks as well as the exploration rules in Part 9, “Adventuring” Working Together Sometimes characters find it’s best to work together towards a goal by helping each other. When characters work together, the character with the highest modifier makes the roll with advantage and a +1 for each person helping after the first. To help with a task, a character must have at least 1 rank in the task and must reasonably be able to do the task themselves. For example, somebody helping to pick a lock must have at least 1 rank with thieves’ tools and have a set in order to help with picking the lock. Using Each Ability Each ability score has a distinct usage in an adventurer’s life. The skills listed under each ability score are not exclusive to one ability but are simply listed under these ability scores as they would be the most common usage of the ability score and skill. For instance, an Intelligence (Administration) check would be used to run a business whilst a Wisdom (Administration) check may be used to Pg 6 Part 2: Using Ability Scores

Mortality determine if a business decision is a good decision or not. Strength Strength measures muscle, athleticism, and physical force. Strength Checks A Strength check can measure any attempt to break something open, keep grip, or other feats of power. Climb. Your Strength (Climb) check covers your attempt to scale a treacherous surface or to climb quicker than usual. A creature that has one rank in the Climb skill may climb walls and other surfaces at half their walking speed + 5 feet per rank in the Climb skill after the first, or at 5 feet per turn if they do not have a rank in the Climb skill. Creatures with a natural climbing speed are considered to have a rank in the Climb skill even if they don’t possess this rank normally. Force. A Strength (Force) check is called for when you attempt to break your way into or out of something with sheer strength such as breaking free of someone’s grasp, pulling the lid of a chest open, or kicking open a locked door. Grip. When you attempt to hold onto a ledge, or to keep holding onto something, you would make a Strength (Grip) check to do so. Jump. A Strength (Jump) check may be called for when you attempt to clear a low obstacle or when you attempt to jump further than you normally can. Run. A Strength (Run) check may be called for when you attempt to run across hazardous terrain or if you attempt to run further than you normally can. A creature’s sprint speed increases by 5 feet per rank in the Running skill that they possess. Swim. Your Strength (Swim) check covers your attempt to swim in treacherous waters, or to swim quicker than normal. A creature that has one rank in the Swim skill may swim at half their walking speed + 5 feet per rank in the Swim skill after the first, or at 5 feet per turn if they do not have a rank in the Swim skill. Creatures with a natural swimming speed are considered to have a rank in the Swim skill even if they don’t possess this rank normally. Attack and Damage Rolls You add your Strength modifier to your attack roll and damage roll when attacking with a melee weapon such as a mace, longsword, or hatchet. You use melee weapons to make melee attacks in hand-to-hand combat, and some of them can be thrown to make a ranged attack. Lifting and Carrying Your Strength score determines the amount of weight you can bear. The following terms define what you can lift or carry. Carrying Capacity. Your carrying capacity is your Strength score multiplied by 15. This is the absolute maximum amount of weight (in pounds) that you can carry before you can no longer move though you will become encumbered long before reaching that point as explained below. Pg 7 Part 2: Using Ability Scores

Mortality Push, Drag, or Lift. You can push, drag, or lift a weight in pounds up to twice your carrying capacity (or 30 times your Strength score). While pushing, or dragging weight in excess of your carrying capacity, your speed drops to 5 feet. Size and Strength. Larger creatures can bear more weight whereas tiny creatures can bear less. For each size category above Medium, double the creature’s carrying capacity and the amount it can push, drag, or lift. For each size category below small, halve the creature’s carrying capacity and the amount it can push, drag, or lift. Encumbrance If a creature carries equipment weighing in excess of 5 times their Strength score in pounds, they are encumbered and take a -10 penalty to their speed. If a creature carries equipment weighing in excess of 10 times their Strength score in pounds, they are heavily encumbered and take a -20 penalty to their speed and suffer disadvantage on any attack rolls, ability checks or saving throws using Strength, Dexterity and Constitution. A creature cannot carry equipment that weighs more than 15 times their Strength score in pounds. Equipment being worn such as clothing or armour is considered to weigh half as much whilst it is worn. Dexterity Dexterity measures agility, reflexes, and balance. Dexterity Checks A dexterity check can model any attempt to be nimble, quick, quiet or to keep balance. Balance. Your Dexterity (Balance) check covers any attempt to stay on your feet in a tricky situation such as a ship’s rocking deck, walking across slippery ice, or walking across a tightrope. Escape Artistry. Whenever you attempt to escape someone’s grip, or restraints of some kind, make a Dexterity (Escape Artistry) check. Hide. Make a Dexterity (Hide) check any time that you attempt to conceal yourself, duck out of sight without being noticed, or sneak up on someone without being seen. Juggle. A Dexterity (Juggle) check is made whenever a creature attempts to juggle an object or to catch an object thrown at them. Move Silently. Make a Dexterity (Move Silently) check any time that you attempt to move without being heard, or sneak up on someone without being heard. Sleight of Hand. Dexterity (Sleight of Hand) checks are made when a creature attempts to steal or place an item on another without being noticed or to perform actions such as picking a lock, without being detected. Riding, Airborne. Dexterity (Riding, Airborne) checks cover attempts to stay mounted on any airborne mount or to perform complicated actions whilst riding an airborne mount. Riding, Landborne. Dexterity (Riding, Landborne) checks cover attempts to stay mounted on any landborne mount Pg 8 Part 2: Using Ability Scores

Mortality or to perform complicated actions whilst riding a landborne mount. Riding, Seaborne. Dexterity (Riding, Seaborne) checks cover attempts to stay mounted on any seaborne mount or to perform complicated actions whilst riding a seaborne mount. Rope Use. A Dexterity (Rope Use) check is made to tie knots and secure ropes. It affects the DC for Dexterity (Escape Artistry) checks made to escape ropes. Tumble. Dexterity (Tumble) checks are made to perform several different acrobatic manoeuvres such as a roll to avoid being knocked prone, or other similar feats of dexterity. Attack and Damage Rolls You add your Dexterity modifier to your attack roll and damage roll when attacking with a ranged weapon such as a bow, firearm, or sling. You may also add your Dexterity modifier to your attack roll and damage roll when attacking with a weapon that has the finesse property such as a dagger or a rapier. Armour Class Initiative You add your Dexterity modifier to your initiative rolls that you make at the beginning of every combat. Initiative determines the order of creatures’ turns in combat, as described in Part 11: Combat Constitution Constitution measures health, stamina and vital force. Constitution Checks Concentrate. A Constitution (Concentration) check is made when a creature must roll to maintain their concentration on a spell as explained later in Part 15: The Rules of Magic Stamina. Constitution (Stamina) checks are made when a creature has gone through a particularly strenuous encounter which could leave it drained. Hit Points Your Constitution modifier contributes to your hit points. Typically, you add your Constitution modifier to each Hit Die you roll for your hit points. If your Constitution modifier changes, your hit point maximum changes as well, as though you had the new modifier from 1st level. For example, if you raise your Constitution score through a feat at 4th level, and your modifier becomes +2 instead of +1, you adjust your health as if you had the +2 modifier from level 1. So you would add 6 hit points for the first three levels, then roll your hit points for 4th level using your new modifier. Intelligence Intelligence measures mental acuity, accuracy of recall, and the ability to reason. Intelligence Checks Administration. Intelligence (Administration) checks are made when running a business or other organisation, usually as a downtime activity. Pg 9 Part 2: Using Ability Scores

This check can be used in conjunction with an appropriate tool check whilst crafting weaponry during downtime. Starting Character Points Intelligence measures the general amount of knowledge and skill a character has acquired over their life. A character gains a number of Character Points equal to their Intelligence modifier to spend on ranks. If a character’s intelligence modifier is negative, that character loses a number of Character Points equal to the modifier. Languages Learning to speak a language is much more different than learning to read and write (which is detailed below under “Literacy”) Languages are divided into two main categories: ancient and modern. Ancient languages are defined as any language that is not in wide circulation and are languages that are only spoken by a few pedantic sages whereas a modern language would be any language that is currently spoken by a large population in the game world such as Common, Dwarvish, or Elvish. Ancient. A creature can speak a number of ancient languages equal to its Languages, Ancient modifier divided by three. Modern. A creature can always speak a minimum of 1 language, usually common or the language granted by their race regardless of their Modern Languages modifier. A creature can speak any number of modern languages provided that the combined cost of the languages does not exceed their Languages, Modern modifier (minimum 1). The costs of the different rarities are shown on the table below: Modern Languages Costs Rarity Cost Common 1 Uncommon 2 Exotic 3 Examples of languages, and their rarities, can be found in Part 5: Personality & Background. Literacy Learning to read and write different languages relies on a character’s intelligence as well as their practice in literary skill. Different languages are easier or harder to learn how to read and write depending on their rarity. Each level of rarity has a cost to learn. A creature can read and write any number of languages provided that the combined cost of the languages does not exceed their literacy modifier. Provided that a creature’s literacy modifier is not -1 or lower and the creature does not possess the illiterate flaw, the creature can always read and write one language, usually the Pg 11 Part 2: Using Ability Scores

Mortality common language or the language of their race. If a creature’s literacy modifier increases by any means, the creature does not immediately learn a new language but instead gains the capacity to learn a new language usually during downtime. The costs of the different rarities are shown on the table below: Literacy Language Costs Rarity Cost Common 1 Uncommon 2 Exotic 3 Examples of languages, and their rarities, can be found in Part 5: Personality & Background.
