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

Yes, it's an Axe.

Stamina...

Body Development is 9, multiplied by 12 (Warrior + Pain Resistance) to 108.

Ah, I wondered if that was it- you do not actually appear to have Pain Resistant.

D'oh! Forgot that I swapped it out for Item of Quality...

Stamina should be 81. Sorry 'bout that.

Neaty.

This has probably slipped everyone's memory, but the first game vets have access to a +5 quality item, a longsword that once belonged to a true Rhudaurian nobleman, before that country fell.

I do vaguely remember that sword. Mah found it in a Dunlending encampment or something? I remember Dunlendings...

Anyways, you're probably making mention of it because Talin's the only first game vet... ermm

In that case, change One-handed edged weapons to Two-handed edged weapons, assuming that's what that Rhudaurian longsword requires.

No, it is a one-handed longsword. But you having two-handed weapons does include two-handed axes, you know, should you want to shift style.

And indeed you are right; it was found in the hands of a Dunlending you killed inside a ruined Rhudarian watchtower, just inside the Rhudaur border (Rhudaur now being held by the Hillmen).

Yay for vague memories!

I think I'll keep with the one-handed vibe, though.

Is it possible to wield two weapons at once? Probably a bit impractical if they're not the same kind of weapon.

I'm lost so far. Can someone please help me from here? I've added my points from my profession and race already, but have no idea how to d the rest.

With all skills, add the skill points to the number of their relevant stat, then multiply it by five...

One-handed edged weapons (3) + Strength (2) x 5 = 25.

If you don't want the sword, feel free to toss it Darvan's way... 😛

Oh, Ush, btw - do we all get a point of money for going through Baranar, or was that just for Fire's horse?

Oh, I forgot to include my Constitution in my Stamina. Should be 85.

Also missed out on my Warrior bonus for Thrown Weapons and One-handed sword, plus the Rhudaurian sword. I should be at 36 and 41 respectively.

I think this is right. My stamina is incredibly low compared ot my old character.

think you missed a few things Roca:
Namely
add twice your level onto all combat rolls, Perception rolls, and Stalk/Hide rolls.
add three times your level to all rolls involving General skills.

transelates in +2 to all weapon, perception and stalk/hide skills
and +3 to all general skills.

Also not sure about your stamina.

Thanks again for the help.

Stamina's more of an observation. My old one was 120.

lol don't multiply your lvl times 5 just add +2 if you are lvl 1 or +4 if you are lvl 2.
(+3 or +6 for general skills 😛)

Trick- yes, Darvan can have the money too.

Two weapons- the old weapon list is around somewhere. Answer is yes, but they are of particular style. You can have sowrd and short weapon, two shortswords, or two knives. Thus far, all double weapons are one-handed edged.

Yeah, not really Talin's thing, I don't think.

Okay, I just made Darvan, but I'm going to have to redo him as Silvans can't be Adventurers 😛

That'll show me for not reading things properly! I'll try and get a redone sheet in sometime this week.

any idea what he's gonna be trick?
