Thorandyl: Building a Runecairn Character

Character Creation in Runecairn Wardensaga


Below I've posted the steps taken in creating Thorandyl for my solo playthrough of the Runecairn adventure Beneath the Broken Sword

Name & Traits

My character's name will be Thorandyl

Rolling for my character traits: 
Physique: (6) Slim
Skin: (3) Mottled
Hair: (10) Wispy
Face: (7) Fierce
Speech: (2) Booming
Virtue: (6)Honourable
Vice: (1) aggressive

Ability Scores

Four ability scores are rolled in order, then swap any two scores

Initial rolls: 9/15/10/13
I'll swap the 9 strength and 13 spirit. The final stat array will look like this: 

Strength (STR): 13
Dexterity (DEX): 15
Wits (WIT): 10
Spirit (SPI): 9

Vigor

Vigor defines your focus and stands between you and the void. Roll D6 for Vigor

Vigor: 4

Vitality

A character's overall health and heartiness. Roll D6 for Vitality

Vitality: 5

Resilience

Resilience is your ability to avoid damage and is equal to the sum of your Vigor and Vitality.

Resilience: 9

Background

Background defines your initial equipment and skills. Choose your background and add the items and skills to your character. The high dexterity and strength lead me to believe Thorandyl was a scout in a previous time. Skilled shot with a bow and always able to find just the right places to stick a knife in an enemies back.
