Attributes

The starting attributes are definitely random, and there can be a vast difference between starting amounts. If you add up all the stats, most characters come in at under 70, but it's possible to have a starting total of 82 and maybe more.

Keep in mind that in order to get a new "roll" for character attributes, you have to back out all the way to the "create character" button, just choosing a new class or race won't change the total.

Hi hi.

The manual says the chars stats (str, int etc) are randomized so that some char can be better than others. Is this true? I tried to make some different human warriors for example, and everyone ended up with the exact same stats. Are they really rolled or are they set for every given race/sex/class combination?

I think they are pretty random. I usually end up rolling a character about 20-30 times before I finally keep one that I am happy with. If it helps, make 5-6 of the same kind of character and then put them into a party and compare stats. You see a difference. Delete the ones you don't want. You can even keep their gold if you want.

Aha, thanks a lot. Perhaps that helps explain why my chars suck so badly - I stuck with the roll I got from the start.
