USH'S LORD OF THE RINGS GAME- Main Rules and character creation (Updated 2011)

I think I've done this correctly. I wasn't sure what stat Read Runes goes off of as it wasn't listed, so I guessed Intelligence. And I have to pick a spell once those are listed as well.

Alright thats what it looks like now, unfinished because i still ahvnt picked out my special weapon or my shield.

Please help where its needed. Suggestions?

Err, that seems to be the old way.

*did not know there was LOTR game*

I'm tempted to try getting Talin back in action, but I always say that when something new pops up from this game.

This is a really great timing issue Ush.
I was JUST about to bug you about letting me re-do Palidan, who I never was PERFECTLY happy with...
I never even liked his name... But that will stay due to history and keeping of his character, which I have developed into rather than it developing..
So basically, I call the Noldor Mage...

Vera- ah, well, you see... there is an LOTR game!

Hopefully you will find this more accessible, tpt.

Talin always welcome, Rex!

Ugh, i always mess it up. Ok umm, let me try and read it all again. you can delete that post for me. Actaully can you hellp me out with this Ush, im just gonna mess it up anyway.

I'm sure you won't. But sure thing, I'll help. Just start with the first bit- pick a race anbd a profession, and just do your stats, We'll take it from there.

It's actually really easy...I only messed up because I didn't read everything through. Oops. Heh.

I didn't increase Rigid Leather cause if I remember correctly I bought chain with the money we got from the last adventure Ush.

Sorry about the stats, seemed to miss out the improvements after Dwarf. They're in now; best tinker.

Mace- like I say, just do one bit at a time. Just do the stats first.

Btw what about gear I used to have this:

I have 60 gp and I buy the following:

-Lesser WarHorse: 20gp
-Chain Armour: 4gp
-Metal Helmet: 1gp (not necessairy wearing it all the time but handy to have one, should another major fight come up)
-Lance+5: 10gp
-Longsword+5: 10gp
-Normal Bow (Free of charge, With 60 arrows also Free)
-Shield (Free of charge)
-All the other free stuff

Leaving me with 15gp left

I quess I can`t play a character with name "Melkor" in this game......

Checked with Ush - Menelacar is fine as he is!

Yes, that might just get looked down upon, Melkor!

Err, compare to the new rules, Fire. I don't think Argentis has earned any significant money since the game started.

boooo 😛 well then I need to know what I do have (specially armor-wise), cause I might have to change my skills accordingly
