CrEATING ThE ADVENTUrEr

C reating an Adventurer for QUILL & CODEX is simple! You can write your stats on a simple sheet of paper, but we’ve in cluded a sample Adventurer Sheet at the end of this book! There are eight steps to creating an Adventurer: • Create Backstory • Determine Adventuring Class • Determine Adventuring Traits • Select Skills • Select Advantages • Determine Wealth and Equip ment

• Choose a Name • Go forth on your adventures. These steps can be taken in any order… save for Step 8. This must be last. If you were to cast an un formed, unnamed adventurer into the realm of fantasy and adventure, you may very well conjure a demon into reality. Remember—do not call up what you cannot put down.

Then again… RULES ARE FOR SUCKERS… so do what you want.
