Hi Newt,
I've started to read River of Heaven. (And I like what I'm reading )
I have two questions.
The first is not really about rules, and maybe I missed the information:
What is the River of Heaven?
The second question is about the point based characteristics process during character generation.
In page 23, a baseline human has 8 points to each characterics, to which you had 30 points where you what.
So 8*9+30 = 86
but in the example page 34, for Miriam who is a baseline human, we have:
STR 16 CON 12 SIZ 10 INT 13 POW 10 DEX 16 CHA 14
So 16+12+10+13+10+16+14 = 91
The repartition according to the text is STR +8, CON +2, DEX +8, POW+2, INT+5 CHA+4
So 29 points and a base for baseline human:
STR 8, CON 10, SIZ 10, INT 8, POW 8, DEX 8, CHA 10.
So what is the "official "base" for a baseline human?
And what is the "recommanded" based? I would tend to prefer the higher one, but Were there some side effects of having stronger characters?
