This section will be general FAQs about Character Creation and Building. You can post your questions and answers here, I will try to answer most myself. I've had 3 liches, and 2 mortals worth of overall game knowledge.

Q: What is the MAXimum amount of points I can start off with to any given stat?
A: A total of 40 points are given to STR, INT, and DEX when rolling at the chr creation screen. The maximum you can start with for any given stat is 22. For example (STR 18)+(INT 10)+(DEX 12)=40. These stats will directly affect your HP and Mana points.
Q: Does my TID number affect my chr?
A: Absolutely not. This is just a myth and a silly one.

Q: If I wanted to create a chr that I eventually plan on liching what are the best stats to start with?
A: I've always found that INT and DEX are key to building a lich chr. Ideally I've always preferred to roll STR 10 INT 20 DEX 10 since I always loved starting off with lots of extra mana that would pay off in the future. Here are other good examples.
Chr-1: Balanced STR 10 INT 15 DEX 15
Chr-2 STR 10 INT 12 DEX 18
Chr-3 STR 8 INT 10 DEX 22
Chr-4 STR 8 INT 20 DEX 12

If a 22 was rolled the formula still remains the same. I personally have never seen a 22 and that would leave only 18 points to be share between STR and DEX. Can anyone confirm that a 21 or 22 is possible?

I have never rolled it but I have heard before that it is possible to get a 21 0r 22 (on dex only though.)

I think there was a post on the Shade Board about someone gettin a 21 or 22. I think it may have been Bow.

A 22 roll is possible. I did it with my byr chat character.

I rolled this BarnCat chr with 10 10 22 and haven't looked back since. It's like having 32 points you can start out with initially with 22 being your max for any one attribute. I have yet to see 22 for str or int, but dex absolutely. Even stats put you at 14 14 14. Alot of the old old timers are rolling with chrs with the stats they got the first time around and are content. ou want a fighting hulk go for str. you want a mana stuffed healer or mage go for int, and a dodgy ranger your dex is tops. Just envision your character in your mind and make the numbers match up to your ideal or as close as to it as ya can, the rest is characterisation. But if anyone wants to skip the creativity part and get straight to faceless gaming keep your Chr-#### name and just get levels lol.

Hmm interesting? Are you sure this still applies to now? I sat there rolling all day and no matter what the numbers were they always added up to 40.

Correction, mathemuhcatician here corrects that figure to 42, the answer to life the universe and everything incidentally..., Lol. I swung back to say the same thing. I think I'll restart my byr character or something soon and see. I think 42 is the overall allowance with 22 being the highest number you can have and 10 being the lowest. Bummer, Time to start digging.

The Hyena of Cat clan was an 11 11 20 creation, probably about the time they stopped our 22ability. As a level 7 boost undead in basic slyythra isue shop duds he was still able to get to Bal'Rak in under 5 potions. The big BarnCat can burrow through a swarm of up to 3 balor demons provided the server is good and a nimble helm helps slightly lol.

it may be that during one of the last updates they may have lowered the total to 40 but yea it was 42 at one point. does anyone know thae max hit points and mana one can get fron a 14,14,14 roll this just happens to be a personal fav. of mine but have not had a char long enough to find out what that roll tops out at. also can someone please clarify a couple of things for me.at what level do your subs stop adding to your hp and mana, have heard 14 but a few have said 16? also at what level does one hit or cast as hard as there ever going too?

I do not know what the maximum hp and mana starting rolls are. Your increases in subs will always add to your hp and mana. With the Rak spells I believe it is at level 14 mage and healer subs that they start to hit their maximums. That is the main reason Tor gear is so valuable . But no matter the level you will always have some high and some low hits.
