- Characteristics like height, weight, age, eye color and hair color
help make a character more than just a piece of paper. Every character
has these traits, but they are often ignored by players. In Fälgorna,
players should either select these traits from the ranges listed
for their character's race or roll on the tables below to determine
these traits randomly.
- The age of a character can play an important part in the game.
Not only can the character's age provide a useful guide to role
playing, it also effects the character's ability scores as the
character advances in age. Also, certain monsters and spells cause
a character to age unnaturally, ultimately leading to an early
grave. Players should consult the tables below to determine a
character's starting age or they may choose any age as a starting
age for their character with the DM's approval. Characters that
start in an age category other than mature should modify ability
scores appropirately before beginning play.
