Characters
Before any game can be played, each player must create a character. Characters are created as prescribed in the basic Fuzion rules with very little modification. It is a good idea to have a character concept in mind before you start to make a character.

You should have the Fuzion core rules handy. The character creation rules are pretty much universal, so any Fuzion powered RPG book should be adequate for making a character. Some of the special powers for other races (such as infrared vision, tracking sense, and so forth) are special superpowers, listed only in Champions: The New Millennium. However, they are also listed in the on-line Fuzion rules set, at the URL listed at the beginning of this document. If you do not have access to these powers, do not worry, the GM should be able to make a reasonable 'guestimate' about their nature.

The only other major documents you will need is Atomik Magick:2nd Edition, which is available from the Atomik Fuzion website, where you most likely retrieved this document. If you do not have Atomik Magick, or require addition Fuzion material, please visit the URL listed below.

Character Concept
For the Lodoss War RPG, characters are assumed to be adventuresome, heroic individuals (otherwise, they are just boring commoners). It is possible to play a more exotic or atypical RPG, where the PCs are common folk thrown into extreme circumstances and forced to quickly adapt and grow. PCs could also be mere soldiers, a group of quiet priests, or fortune-seeking merchants. The type of campaign the GM wishes to run will have a large impact on the design of the characters. Borrowing from the series, a well rounded adventure group may consist of at least a few fighters of varying types, a wizard, a cleric, and comic relief in some for or another (thieves are good for this).

Choosing your character's race and gender also has a large impact on the initial character design. The first step in generating any Fuzion character begins with rolling on his or her Lifepath Events. The character's Lifepath is an excellent way to develop his or her background and current standing in society. Based on the outcome of the Lifepath, you can decide if your character is more suited toward being a cold and unscrupulous thief, or a wise and patient Priest of Marfa. If you have already decided you want to play a Mage or Fighter, by all means, do so. But for much more interesting and unpredictable character generation, let the roll of the dice develop your character. After all, in reality, what we get is just the luck of the dice.

Game Settings
In Fuzion there are a number of game settings which must be considered. The first is Reality Level. Reality Level effects how many Characteristic Points, Option Points, and other such values are allocated to character generation. In Lodoss War, Heroic (50-60 CP, 40-50 OP) should be allocated. If this seems insufficient, the GM may up this to Incredible, but beyond that the power level of the campaign becomes more akin to a superhero campaign than a fantasy campaign.

Power Points (PP) are not used in Lodoss War, as superpowers do not exist. Only CP and OP have any relevance. If the GM wishes to give extra OP to help defer the cost of buying a Race (High Elf is especially expensive), he may, of course, do so.

Atomik Magick should be used for making characters such as priests and wizards. To use magic, an additional characteristic, like MAGE, EMNT, or HOLY, is required. CP for buying levels of MAGE must be used from the same CP pool used to purchase other characteristics (such as INT, WILL, and so forth). All spells are considered skills.

Races
The majority of characters should be human. However, there are a number of other races which are also possible. Standard PC races are Human, High Elf, Dark Elf, Half-Elf, Dwarf, and Halfling. Other races can only be used at the GM's discretion. Below is a quick reference table listing the character races and the OP it costs your character. For a detailed description of the race, please see the chapter on Races.

Race	OP
Human	0
High Elf	23
Dark Elf	13
Half-Elf (Dark)	5
Half-Elf (High)	15
Dwarf	18
Halfling	6

Because the cost of High Elf is so high, it may seem impossible, or impractical, to get this race, which is somewhat disappointing. The high cost comes from the fact that they are Immortal, an extremely expensive advantage. To help lower the cost, additional complications can be given. The only type of High Elf which would go out an adventure with humans are very atypical of their race. Such high elves may have social complications, such as Bad Reputation among other elves, or may even be an Outsider to high elf society! Together, these two complications may generate upwards of 10-20 OP to alleviate the cost of this race. If you really want to play a high elf, talk to the GM about it and about other possibilities for lowering the cost.

Character Types
Unlike many RPG systems, Fuzion does not have character classes. A character can be designed any way the player chooses. However, to facilitate the more traditional fantasy RPG setting where there are basic character classes (Fighter, Mage, Thief, Cleric, etc.) twelve character templates have been listed below. They can be used as desired, or simple as a guideline for creating a character.

In similar style to templates used in other Fuzion games, the templates below list a Description, Recommend Skills and Options (Talents, Perks, etc.), and free starting equipment. Your character will get the listed equipment for free.

Fighter (Warrior)
Description: Fighter, adventurer, hero, brash young hothead -- all these names and many more describe that rare and often short-lived character who quests for some distant and impossible goal. He may be seeking a great and powerful magic item. He may be fighting to protect his village from evil. A fighter of this type is often driven by more than a want of gold or fame. Rarely will he himself know what drives him on his quest. Perhaps it is destiny. Perhaps he wants to change the world. Perhaps the adventure itself drives him onward. Adventurers are rare, those that live long, rarer still. But a true hero at heart who seeks the greatest of adventures may survive and become a legend.
Skills: Melee Weapon, Melee Evade, Riding (horse)
Options: Combat Sense, Renown
Equipment: longsword, scabbard, breastplate, chainmail sleeves, hvy. cloth pants, md. shield, leather boots

Soldier
Description: Soldiers are the fighting men of the army. Young, they are hopeful, naïve, quick to fight and quicker to die. Old, they are cynical, hard, skilled, and scared. It is a soldier's duty to lay down his life for King and Country, and is not a job for everyone. Being a soldier is a grueling task, and many are rewarded only with death. It is a brutal business, and many soldiers turn to brutality as way to forget the pain they bury inside. But those who fight with honor, those who are smart, skilled, and yes, even lucky -- they are the ones who become commanders, generals, and warlords. It's a bloody business being a soldier, but if you survive, you always come out on top.
Skills: Melee Weapon, Melee Evade, Riding (horse), Tactics
Options: Combat Sense, Blind Reaction, Ambidexterity
Equipment: broadsword, scabbard, hauberk, leather boots, half helm, md. shield

Mercenary
Description: Sword for hire, fighter of fortune, warrior of gold -- mercenaries are known by many names and come in every form. They are fighters, indeed, adventurers, who lend their sword and skill to the highest bidder. Many take whatever jobs they can get -- guarding a town gate, protecting a caravan, policing the streets of a crime infested town. Few are dumb enough to hire into an army, but some do. A few mercenaries are bound by personal codes of honor and only work for noble and honorable nations such as Valis, Flaim, Alan, or Moss. But many mercenaries work for pirates, raiders, bandits, and even the dark armies of Marmo.
Skills: Melee Weapon, Melee Evade, Riding (horse)
Options: Combat Sense, Renown, Contact
Equipment: longsword, scabbard, breastplate, arm greaves, leather pants, leather boots

Knight
Description: The knight is an elite soldier of a king. Though his rank and station may seem superior, so are his responsibilities and duty. Knights are bound by codes of honor that they must uphold, or risk being expelled dishonorably from the knighthood. As a knight progresses, and performs great deeds and acts of courage, he may be dubbed into an order of knighthood, such as the Order of the Lance, or the Order of the Lion. The greasiest and most revered title of all is Knight of Lodoss, a title that can only be bestowed by the King or Queen of Valis.
Skills: Melee Weapon, Melee Evade, Riding (horse), High Society
Options: Combat Sense, Ambidexterity, Wealth, Membership in Knighthood
Equipment: broadsword, scabbard, full platemail, full helm

Ranger
Description: Rangers are hunters, woodsmen, survivalists, and elite scouts. They are skilled in the arts of survival, concealment, and tracking. Some are soldiers, some are mercenaries, and for others it is simply a way of life. Rangers know how to survive for days, even weeks, alone in the wilderness without human contact. They can track their prey, or a foe, through the darkest forest. Rangers are often employed as military scouts or messengers, or to lead a party through a dangerous wilderness. Many Rangers may also have Shamanic magic.
Skills: Melee Weapon, Melee Evade, Survival, Tracking, Stealth
Options: Acute Sense, Direction Sense, Night Vision
Equipment: broadsword and scabbard or bow, hvy. leather vest, arm greaves, leather pants, leather boots

Thief
Description: A thief's profession is a criminal one. He steals not only to survive, but often a thief steals just to best another. Often, thieves are skill gamblers (and even better cheaters), and well versed in the art of con games. Thieves can never pass up a fat purse or rich treasure, but also know when something looks too good to be true. Thieves are not robbers, and make a point of it to anyone who accuses them as such. They take -- swiftly, quietly, and without harm -- from those who carelessly leave their valuables unguarded. Many thieves believe they are serving society -- better to steal from them now, and show them their weaknesses, than let them live in ignorance!
Skills: Melee Weapon, Gambling, Lockpicking, Slight of Hand, Stealth, Streetwise
Options: Common Sense, Double Jointed, Membership in Thieves' Guild
Equipment: large knife or throwing knife, leather jacket, leather pants, leather boots, lockpick kit

Mage
Description: Wizards, sorcerers, conjurers, enchanters... There are as many types of magic users as there are spells to cast. But mages are rare theses days. Only now is the lost knowledge of Kastuul being recovered. Only a few hundred individuals claim to be magicians, and most of them are fakes or too unskilled to be of any use. Yet, there are a few with great potential, and even some with great power. Older wizards are always searching for a young student with high potential to pass on the knowledge of ages so it will never be lost again. There are several magic systems available to magic users (mainly Sorcerer, Shaman, or Wizardry), and these are outlined in the next chapter.
Skills: Various spells, Thaumaturgy, Languages, Research, Teaching, Slight of Hand
Options: Eidetic Memory, Speed Reader, Wealth, Membership in Mages' Guild
Equipment: staff, robe

Priest (Cleric)
Description: Priest are holy (or unholy) men and women who follow the teachings of prophets and worship the ancient gods. Though the gods may have died long ago in the War of the Gods, their spirits still live on within the world. Their power can be seen and felt within all living things, and can be called upon to do great works of magic. Priests and clerics have a specially form of magic, called Clerical magic, which is different for every god or goddess. Some are good, some are evil. All can be quite powerful. See the next chapter for more information.
Skills: Various spells, Theurgy, Languages, Research, Teaching, Expert (your religion)
Options: Intuition, Membership in Religious Order
Equipment: dagger, robe, healer's bag

Merchant
Description: Merchants buy goods and products from farmers and craftsman, and sell them in markets and bazaars. Many merchants find it more profitable to bring goods from one end of the land to the other, jacking up the price and selling them as rare and exotic commodities. A merchant is always looking for a good way to fatten his purse, but he also has need to protect his interest. Merchants often hire fighters or mercenaries to guard their caravans or protect their holdings from bandits, thieves, and robbers. Most merchants are poor fighters, but some are skilled at swordsmanship. Many practice sword fighting as a hobby, but they are still not match for a true fighter.
Skills: Bribery, Business, Persuasion, Trading, Melee Weapon
Options: Common Sense, Contact, Favor, Wealth, Membership in Merchants' Guild
Equipment: dagger, wealthy clothes, jewelry (4 rp)

Barbarian
Description: Brutal and savage, a barbarian knows nothing but war and death. Most barbarians live on Marmo, though some also come from the hostile deserts of Flaim. Barbarians do not kill for money, or sport, honor, or duty. They kill for survival. They come from lands drenched in blood and care little for any life but their own. Barbarians are neither good nor evil, just as a wolf that hunts and kills is not evil. Even so, barbarians are not well suited for life among more civilized humans. A smart barbarian can adapt, and choose a path of good when he meets the crossroads between light and dark. Some Barbarian mages my have Shamanic magic (Barbarian Shamans).
Skills: Melee Weapon, Melee Evade, Riding (horse), Survival
Options: Blind Reaction, Combat Sense, High Pain Threshold, Rapid Healing

A commoner may find himself in a special situation, requiring him to quickly fall into many other character types listed above.
Skills: Local Expert, Profession (farming, carpentry, etc.), Trading, Melee Weapon
Options: Common Sense, Contact, Favor
Equipment: farm-type weapon, commoner's cloth, pony or cow

Noblemen
Description: Of high social station, and wielding great wealth and power, the nobleman lives in the lap of luxury, and can afford a great many things other characters cannot. Noblemen such as princes, barons, dukes, and marquis own vast tracks of land and live in the confines of a castle. Lesser noblemen, such as lords and ladies, serve the greater noblemen, yet still enjoy vast power over their servants and vassals, and also live within the protective walls of castles. Not all noblemen, however, are arrogant and pompous. It should not be forgotten that some of the greatest heroes of all time were noblemen. Both King Fahn and King Kashue were high noblemen, and Prince Jester of Moss bravely leads the Dragon Knights in the great quests of virtue and honor.

Options: Beautiful/Handsome, Membership in royal Household, Wealth
Equipment: noble cloths, jewelry (5 rp), pouch with 600 gold pieces

Skills
The master skill list for Lodoss War is slightly different from that which may be found in other Fuzion rulebooks. The rules are the same, but several skills are different, or modified, to better suit a fantasy setting.

Everyman Skills
Everyman skills are things generally known by everyone. Perception, Concentration, Athletics, Hand-to-Hand, Hand-to-Hand Evade, Local Expert (Knowledge of your area), Lore, and Ridding (Horse). These are given free to all characters by the GM, and have an automatic starting level of 2; about what the average person would know about his or her world. Each can be improved by adding Skill levels on an individual basis. Please note that Education is not an Everyman skill in this gameworld. Most people are uneducated and illiterate. To be literate, you must have Education at 1 or better. Lore, however, is a limited form of historical knowledge, consisting of myths and legends of old, many of which are indeed true.

General Skills
Unlike Everyman Skills, General Skills are purchased at the cost of one Option Point for every level of skill; for example, to have 4 levels in Survival would cost 4 OP.

Buying a skill generally gets you the ability to do pretty much everything described by that skill. However, some skills require that you specialize in a certain aspect of that skill, for example, Melee Weapon [Sword] and Melee Weapon [Axe].

Below is a list of skills. This is not to say other skills are not possible. If a GM wishes to add a new skill, he may do so.
