Player Character Creation Part III

Some important points to remember when creating your character:

• Action Points: everyone begins the game with five action points unless you take the Heroic Spirit feat (which gives you three extra action points at each character level). Action points replenish at each character level, and you will have five plus character level divided by two (rounded down) action points to spend each level. Action points cannot be saved from level-to-level.
• Regional Feat: don't forget to choose a Regional Feat from the Player's Guide to Faerûn book. The feat should be one that is clearly related to your character's culture and/or background.
• Homeland: please choose a homeland from the Player Information packet that makes sense for your character. I'm going to try to push each of you to be from a different land (if possible). Your character's homeland will help determine some of his/her outlook on life as where s/he comes from will certainly influence how s/he feels about certain other lands/cultures.
• Zodiac: it is important that you choose a sign from the Zodiac that I included in the Player Information packet. This zodiac sign has a minor game effect and character personality suggestions. There's also some potential storyline stuff tied in with each zodiac sign.
• Birthmark: each of your characters has a birthmark that indicates the Zodiac sign under which the character was born. This birthmark may be visibile or not as you decide. Please indicate in your character background what your birthmark looks like and where it is on your character's body. The birthmark should take a form that clearly indicates your character's Zodiac sign.
• Deity: it is important that all of you choose a patron deity from one of the two pantheons detailed in the Player Information packet. Your deity can have significant impact on character outlook/personality as well as role-playing potential as you interact with NPCs.
