Title: Character Creation
Post by: Trizt on December 25, 2004, 05:08:36 pm

(I would post this in the \'Newbie Help\' part but seeing as almost all of us are newbies to the CB release I thought here *might* be better)

I\'m a bit confused with all the character creation options, such as parents, siblings, life experience and things like that; I went through the character creation, but I was told that the options i had chosen for my character were invalid. I went through 5 or 6 more times, trying different character history combinations, and different names and such, but nothing was working for me :(

Eventually I just chose a race and path, without doing any of the background stuff, and that worked-But should I be worried that my character doesn\'t have any of the history or parent things?

Thanks in advance to anyone who replys :)

Well, first of all, if you want the character creation process to work properly, you have to end up with 0 CP. If you are in negatives, it\'ll say that it\'s invalid. You shouldn\'t be worried much if you took the quick way, the only down-side is that the character is probably not like you really wanted it to be.

Quick creation is just pre-set for you.
The custom creation sets up a background of your chaarecter and with that your char is made.
If it keeps going invalid just restart CB. I had the same problem.

What if i screwed up the whole char creation, and i want to change things? I mean ca, i go and change the things, or can i delete the char and make it again?

if not my char is totally ruined...or at least i need to do lot of work to get it how i wanted it to be...

You are told what skills and stats your character will have before you click Upload. So, tough luck if you didn\'t look before creating the character. :)

ok, lets say i want a char with ligt armor, sword skill, black way and profession armor smithing....
i want my stats to accumulate this (high charisma for black way, some int and will to gain more mana, a lot of agility so i can dodge alot)

can somebody then tell me what i have to choose and where so this is my start, cause i have made about 50 character right now but i havent had a single 1 that was set properly.

Is there some kind of site that says \"this selection gives ...\" cause that info isn\'t given in character creation..:S

An delete Char button would be handy = P

No, noone can, and noone should.

No, you shouldn\'t. It\'s your decision if you want to do it quick or on your own.
