Taking you through the sign ups
  1. Character name
    Completely your choice and up to you.
  2. Character race
    You may choose from the selection on the races page.
    • Of these, birdfolk, dragonfolk, fairies, magic creatures and pegasus centaurs have flight. Dragonfolk choose whether or not to have flight upon generation. This choice may not be changed during the game.
  3. Character starting class
    You may choose from the selection on the classes page
    • You'll see that each class has a list of qualifying races - this is compiled according to SF3 characters, with a bit of SF1/SFCD/SF2 influence. This is merely a guideline, and can be dropped if you so wish. For example, my game Darkness Rising had restrictions, whilst Ancient Pathways did not.
    • If you decide to drop restrictions, there is one thing you should bear in mind, and that is adjusting a character's movement range. After all, it doesn't make sense to have a halfling knight with 7 move. There's no clear guideline on how to shift this statistic, though you could have race influence it. In any case, it's certainly something to consider.
  4. Character description
    Completely your choice and up to you.
  5. Short character bio
    Completely your choice and up to you. Level of detail required will depend on the Game Master.
  6. Starting weapon class proficiency
    Your choice here depends on character class. It will determine what weapon you start with and starting weapon skill point values. Choose one
    Swordsman: Blade/Rapier/Sword
    Knight: Halberd/Lance/Spear
    Magician: Ankh/Rod/Wand
    Priest: Ankh/Rod/Wand
    Archer: Arrow/Quarrel/Shell
    Gunner: Arrow/Quarrel/Shell
    Monk: Cestus/Claw/Glove
    Ninja/Thief: Katana/Shuriken (ninja), Dagger/Throwing Knife (Thief)
    Ranger: Hatchet, Knife, Spear
    Soldier: Blade/Rapier/Sword
    Warrior: Axe/Hatchet/Mace
    Robot: Anchor/Shell
    Werewolf: Cestus/Claw/Glove
  7. Elemental proficiency (from high to low)
    Every character, even those who aren't casters, have some degree of resistance against the magical elements. So you arrange from high to low how this will be for your character. The six elements are fire, ice, lightning, wind, light and dark.
  8. Desired spells
    As with Shining Force 3, casters have three spells that are learnt. The fourth comes from an equipped weapon. Spells available depend on the casting class.
    See this page here for how to pick spells.
    Spell availability is at the bottom of the page, there are hyperlinks to the spell pages at the top of the page. Any confusion, just ask me.
  9. Any questions on stuff that doesn't make sense? Just ask! I hope it was easy enough though! Any questions on if you can do something not listed here? Just ask!
