ok, starting to wrap it up here I think, but a few other questions:

1) Do any of you use variations of character generation? I love the
complete randomness of it and I like that everybody usually gets
something about their character they don't like but have to role play
around. Yet occasionally, someone wants to make some kind of magic
user and gets a 3, 4, 5 in Intelligence, Will, and Empathy
respectively. Have you guys had a lot of problems with over powered
characters if, for example, you allowed your players to swap one score
with any other score? Or allowed two sets of rolls and allowed them to
choose the better?


2) When creating magic users, as they buy their initial spells, do
they buy that at the "instructed" rate or the "alone" rate? Oddly, the
book does not specify. On the one hand, characters would start with a
whole lot of spells if they bought them all at the discount rate, yet
the apprenticeship does seem like the very definition for instructed.
So I'm curious what you all are doing.


Thank you all for your continued support of the Noob Questions
franchise. We hope to have a television series soon complete with a
tasty cereal line and Hallmark cards.
