In order to create your character you are give ten Skill selections to spend.

You must pick one Skill Package from each of the following:

Race
Class
Dragoon

You must pick a minimum one and a maximum of five skills from any one Skill Package.

You may only pick a Skill once from each Package unless the Skill is listed twice ie Blessings in the Chaplain Package. If a Skill is repeated in a Package it may be chosen again (you may not pick the same Skill more than twice).

If a Skill is chosen once then it is considered to be at level one. If it is considered twice it is considered to be at level two.

Heroic Skill

After you have chosen all the Skills you must choose a Heroic Skill. This is something that distinguishes your character from everyone else.

You may buy one skill you do not possess (even if this skill is not in your normal Skill Package choices) at level two.

You may increase a level two skill to a level three skill. If Mana is chosen than the relevant magic is also chosen at level three.

You may buy one level of Mana and one level of Blessing/Magic.

Stage 4: Flaws

To add the final touch to your character you have the option of choosing to take a single flaw. This is a negative fact or situation about your character which gets him or her into trouble.

Taking a flaw allows you to make a single additional skill pick.

Flaws are broken down into three types:

Social

Examples include: Outcast, Known Criminal, Enemy etc.

Social flaws make it more difficult to interact and influence certain situations.

Financial

Examples include: Gambler, Family debt, Owing money to a loan shark, etc.

Financial flaws make it difficult to earn or keep money and if dealt with poorly can easily turn into a social problem as well.

Physical

Examples include missing arm or hand, One eye serious leg wound, sickly nature or some other handicap. Physical problems make it difficult to do your duty and can be a very real danger.
