Welcome to the Emblem of Ea! To start, you will want to review the Theme Guide to get a solid footing on our setting and storyline. Once you've done that, it's time to go through chargen. Chargen in Ea is a simple process that will take you through a series of rooms, where you'll fill in information about your character, similar to how you would a character sheet at a tabletop game. If you're less familiar with the rules, don't worry: the code will handle many of the calculations for you. Instead, focus on the type of character you'd like to make, and the story you'd like to tell.
Chargen Room One: Attributes The first room starts with attributes. Ea offers a generous point system to allow players to make the character they want. Please note that higher numbers will should be justified in a background, and excessively "min-maxed" builds will probably not be approved.
Chargen Room Two: The Beefy Tidbits, or Race, Class, and Religion
Room two covers the "beefy" parts of your character: what race they are, what class they follow, and what faith, if any. You might find the following pages helpful:
Chargen Room Three: What You Know, or Skills, Languages, and Spells This room allows you to set your skills, extra languages (if applicable), and pick your starting spells (if applicable).
Tenebrae uses the Pathfinder list for skills and spells, but also adds its own content. You might be interested in the following pages:
Chargen Room Four: Feats
Feats are a little more powerful than skills, and help define what a character can do. Ea uses feats from the Pathfinder set, though it has a few of its own offerings, too. These may be found at:
Chargen Room Five: Equipment
As before, Ea offers its own custom items. If you're interested, you might visit:
Chargen Room Six: Finishing Touches
Finishing touches are just that. Your background, +finger details (such as a quote or themesong), can be set here. Take a look at the room description for the individual helpfiles, and don't panic about the background. If you need help, that's what we're here for.
