Cross roads

[b](Character sheet stuff explained)[/b]
{Name}(Your carters name)

{Age}(Rough age not particularly necessary as there are no real times it becomes at all a problem or benefit to the charter)
{Race}(Your charters race there is no real limits on this it’s simply whatever race you want to use)

{Speical power}(the first real chance you have to put your brand on your character the racial power is a special ability that you possess, this varies wildly because the cross roads is about freedom in essence here are some examples, dragons breath the ability to breath out an elemental attack for 80 damage 3 times a day(most attacks take a similar approach for the racial there are ways to improve them), perhaps you would prefer something more like were form the ability to increases your strength factor dramatically 3 times a day(as well as the damage you can output), or perhaps something like this, pack tactics when targeting a foe previously attacked by a party member + accuracy, also you can take a free level in ANY skill (As listed below)
{Description}(A description of how your character looks)

{Hp}(Hit points or health points all characters start with a set amount as decided by the dm, commonly 200)
(10 extra hp will cost 5 exp you get 2 health for 1 point
{Sp}(Spirit points, or special points, special abilities will consume these they regenerate every day after sleeping all characters start with a set amount, commonly 20)
(advancing the amout of sp you have costs the same as sp

{Basic knowledge}
(The basic knowledge’s you have and how much your character knows about them)


{Advanced knowledge}
(The advanced knowledge’s you have and how much your character knows about them)

{Combat skills}
(active powers and special attacks that consume sp, the rough run down of how I create these is as follows, Name sp cost times 10 - 10 for each special effect , however some have a high cost no damage because they are extremely powerful versions of these special effects there are many, poisoning, wounding, burn, freeze, stun, targeting special areas)

{Passives}(Passive powers that are constantly active on your character, mostly things like the ability to wield any given weapon, read something, these are things you can do without any real thought or difficulty)


{EQP}(Equipped items I personally allow all players to prepurchase weapons and armour with their coins before running the game for them the first time)


{Total Att}(Your characters total attack ability this is your weapon+ any special abilities you have that raises them, this is then added to an attack to figure out how much damage it can possibly do)
{Total DEF}(Total defence as above but with armour)

Creating your own skills:
Creating your own skills is mostly for more advanced players  and for those of you who wish to dm
creating a skill is fairly easy and runs a little something like this:
First we look at your knowlages lets say you have the basic skill (weapon lore) level one  now basic skills tend to give more passive ablitys and advanced skills tend to give more active skills.
So weapon lore level one would be the basic level of weapon lore allowing your to use all the basic weapons (for exsample simple swords and the like) it could also give you an active combat skill of some kind
now to create a simple active skills  first you must decied what cost it has, 2sp in this case
now your damage with at its base be 20 but if you add a level of effect it will cost you ten damage so.
in this case i would go with stunning blow 2sp 10 damage+stun
pretty darn easy
