BACKGROUND QUESTIONS

As part of the character generation process, you can choose to answer 12 questions which will develop your character more fully. The questions were designed to flesh out your character concept by increasing certain skills, changing your rep with certain factions and placing items in your inventory. Each of the pre-made classes has its own questionaire. If you have chosen to create a custom class, the questionaire will come from the class that your class comes closest to in terms of skills.

Be careful in answering the questions about equipment. It is possible to start the game with a lot of equipment that you cannot use (for example, a Barbarian with a lot of plate armor), so keep your class restrictions in mind when you answer these questions.

For the sake of brevity, I have not included each questionaire. 18 classes times 12 questions plus all the possible answers and effects equals a lot of typing. So your questionaire will not look exactly like what follows. Your questions will be phrased a little differently or you might not have all of the listed responses as choices. But this will give you a good idea of what happens when you answer the questions.

1. Which school of magic have you been studying the longest?
