Creating a Character

The Basic Outline Of a Troll
Before you go into rolling dice and picking out ways to murder other trolls, you obviously need to give your character a little description. Copy the information on Character Sheet and create a page for your troll (Or write it down somewhere else, as long as the GM can see it).

Think things such as their age, blood color, sign, and things like their physical appearance, horns and personality.

Step 1: Attributes
Get out the dice, it's rolling time. Roll 2 six-sided dice and divide the result by 3 (rounding down) for each of the six Attributes below.

Athletics Physical ability, combat ability

Affection How good are you at forming bonds with other trolls?

Skill How good are you at what you do best? (I don't need to know if what you do is nice or not.)

Cunning How capable are you at tricking and deceiving enemies and other trolls?

Luck Just how lucky are you? (Punk.)

Will How positive and constructive is your thinking?

Step 2: Personality Traits
In order to start getting down the image of the character, determine her Personality Traits. Check Personality Traits and pick two personality traits for your troll; you can have a particular Personality Trait twice. Apply the bonuses from the character’s Personality Traits to her attributes. Zero is the lowest an attribute can go; if negative modifiers reduce it to -1 or -2, write down 0 instead.

Step 3: Special Quallities:
The next step is to determine your troll’s Special Qualities. These are various physical, mental, or social traits that distinguish a troll from her fellows. Normally troll get two Special Qualities, but the GM may wish to increase this to between 3 and 5 in order to make the game more interesting. Keep in mind that it can be hard to make 3 or more special qualities play an actual role in the game. For a starting game, we suggest sticking to two special qualities. Go to Special Qualities and pick the two most fitting Special Qualities for your troll.

The Rest
To determine a troll's stress explosion, strife specibus and any special powers, pick one of each from the lists on Character Misc
