Creating a Legends of Scape Level 1 Character
Here I want to go through an example of creating a level 1 Legends of Scape character.
EXAMPLE #1: ELVEN NINJA
I decide that I want an elven ninja. The base stats for a level 1 character are:
Life 2
Move 6
Attack 1
Defense 1
Initiative +0
Skill points 1
Since my character is an elf, I add the elven adjustments:
-1 life, +1 defense, +2 spell points/level, +2 initiative
(Note: I ignore the spell points, since ninjas cannot cast spells.)
Then I add the ninja class adjustments:
Ghost Walk, +2 defense, +2 initiative
My new stats are:
Life 1
Move 6
Attack 1
Defense 4
Initiative +4
Skills
All ninjas start the game with the Ghost Walk special ability.
With my 1 Skill Point I choose Shuriken Special Attack.
Weapons and Armor
I have 100 gp to spend on weapons and armor. I buy a Two-handed Katana (+2 Attack, Range 1) and a Long Bow (+0 Attack, Range 6). Ninjas cannot wear armor.
I might use the rest of my gold to buy a backpack, a lantern, a rope, and other miscellaneous equipment.
With his weapons, my ninja now has the following stats:
Life 1
Move 6
Range 1 (with sword) or 6 (with bow)
Attack 3 (with sword) or 1 (with bow)
Defense 4
Initiative +4
Figure
Last I need to choose a figure to use. I have a D&D ninja that I like, so I'll use that one.
Here is my final army card for my ninja:
I place the cards for Ghost Walk and Shuriken Special Attack next to my character for reference.
