Looks good. Be aware that in first edition, there are less physical training skills than there are in second edition.

Do you have a general idea of character type? Man at arms, magic, clergy. Other?

Okay OCC well something Strength matters I rolled good in that, a 17 plus a bonus die. And can raise that with some physical training.

I'm mulling over OCC options.

RubySlippers

I'm not sure Magic would be hard without the book and the only one I ever played in 1st Edition was the Witch.

But I'm likely to take something interesting the Farmer/Vagabond OCC if its in that rule book.

Her concept is the toughest girl in the little Thorpe, who helped a knight who was wounded after fighting a nasty thing and she got her share of the treasure. Now has delusions of grandeur.  ;D

Rune

Other choices would be Peasant, farm hand, merchant and noble.

I am having troubles finding a pdf. Any one know where I can read it online? Or is there a option to buy a pdf version on Palladium games main website? As far as I can tell there is only a shipping option. I am fine buying the physical copy but, I don't exactly want to wait on the shipping. :P Id rather get things done sooner rather then later.

RubySlippers

You should be able to get a copy at one of the PDF rules selling on-line stores. I'm not sure.

On Other classes  is there a difference between the choices, I was thinking something close to the Vagabond side of Farmer/Vagabond?

This is harder than I thought transitioning between editions.

  Rune, may we arrange our attributes to concept?  Or do you want us to keep them where they fall? 

  You're using the first edition book?

Yes, I believe, sadly I can't find a copy free online and there were so many changes from the 1st Edition to the 2nd Edition none of which seem to have made the game better.

Rune

Keep your stats where they fall. With most races, the number of dice you roll to determine your rating various between attributes. That makes it difficult to mix and match.

The changes made to second edition were to bring the game in line with Rifts. Not all the changes were good ones.

I think that the closest to Vagabond would be the peasant occ. We could continue with that if you like.

Slow. Not very strong. But can keep going and going...

What type of character class do you think? Or do you want me to list all you qualify for?

I don't know ,the other one I liked had more skills to choose from, like done right she could have been a minstrel with a professional skill in an instrument and singing. And a general fix it skill. That is why I liked it I didn't know they added the Farmer/Vagabond I thought it was like its listed in the first edition.

Muse

I was thinking healer, mystic, or whatever the Palladiu equivilent of Mind Melter is. ^_^;;

Maybe a young man with a minor deformity--like a club foot--that made it hard for him to be active as a child? 

In spite of this he was heatlhy and built up his endurance by stubornly trying to play with the other kdis, play at sowrds, and later studdy swordmanship. 

He wanted to be a wandeirng warrior.  While he DID get fairly good with swords, he discoverd the key to making his dream come true in teh power of his midn, not the power of his body.  Second son of a minor merchant, when he realized he was developing psychci abilites, he got his father to aprentcie him to a traveling Mind Mage.

Believe it or not PB 9 still falls within average scores. Meaning he has some looks but one with PB 11-14 is above average and so on.
Whatever the outcome, it's on you.

If you're refering to my mention of a Minor Deformity, Rikka, I waw atualy refering to his speed.  For excample, a club foot or slightly malformed leg making it so taht he has trouble moving fast.

My bad then. :P

Josep Maxxon

Josep has never been much into physical activities or manual labor, and besides, he is very much a klutz which results in spectacular accidents with even the simplest of tasks.  He does, however, have a penchant for scholarly things and thus chose a path for the clergy.  But his thought of a sedentary existence in the clergy did not last long as he was told, no, ordered to become a travelling priest and spread the tenets of their deity to the ends of the earth.  He did not have much of a choice on the matter and grudgingly accepted what was required of him, but he sometimes dreams of the times back then when all his concerns were limited to being cooped up in the library and reading books for hours.

Whatever the outcome, it's on you.

The rules are not available to me, I could buy them on a PDF but with game survivability being so low I won't waste the money.

If anyone wants to GM the 2nd Edition I'm game those rules I have.

I don't mind, I'm not going to play, I have nothing for reference to play using those rules unless a GM runs 2nd Edition.
