Player Characters in the Maalum campaign should be created with the following in mind. ==== New Characters ====: * The only playable race is [[Aran]]. Therefore, all characters start as [[Aran]], except with express permission from the GM. * Some base classes are marked as restricted. These classes cannot be taken by new characters except with GM permission. * Ability ratings are purchased as per Core, p.16; with 15 points (Standard Fantasy). * Hit points for levels beyond the first are determined by 'take half, round up' Additionally, if the character originally hails from Ilfreann: * They have the "Ilfreann" knowledge area for all [[knowledge]] skills.
