Before your adventure begins, you'll have to create a character. You have 90 points to assign across six stats, each of which has to be between 10 and 20. The game will let you use less than the full 90 points, so be careful. How you distribute your stats is up to you, but I suggest checking out what each one does on the Stats, as well as checking out the Races and Types (classes) that are available. You will choose your race and type after determining your base stats, and their bonuses can get you past the 20-point limit. Finally, you will name your character. Your character's name can be up to 15 characters long.
The Stats shows your starting values for all stats. You begin at level 1 with 100 hit points, 99 food, 100 gold, and no experience points. You also get two Dagger and a suit of Leather armor, which will automatically be equipped on your character.
