To clarify: Agility is used to hit something, Strength for damage modifier, Intelligence for magical attack, Willpower for magical defense?

Yup on all accounts.

Cool. I don't know too much about Elder Scrolls. I'd like to have some "magical" abilities/spells but in order to coincide with our downplaying of magic, I could just consider them IU to be "demonic abilities" or something. Is there to be a selection of "magical" abilities we could have, or could I write some up with the character stats for your approval?

*EDIT* Not too many, of course, and generally pyromancy-based.

I have to say Munroe, I think playing down the magical professions might prove more difficult than might be imagined. A lot of the races use it as a primary method of defence and attack (especially High Elves/Altmer).

Cool.

I rolled 2, 7, 7, 9, 5, 6, and 6. Ditch the 2.

Strength: 7
Intelligence: 7
Willpower: 5
Agility: 9
Endurance: 6
Charisma: 6

So, after "Macabre Reanimation" modifiers:

Strength: 11
Intelligence: 1
Willpower: 7
Agility: 9
Endurance: 16
Charisma: 0

[Sionnach Glic]

Okay, let's go.

Initial scores
Strength: 8
Intelligence: 9
Willpower: 2
Agility: 6
Endurance: 9
Charisma: 3

After Minotaur modifiers
Strength: 15(!)
Intelligence: 5
Willpower: 2
Agility: 6
Endurance: 9
Charisma: -2 (0)

Not bad.

[Aaron]

Hmm...Dwarf or Orc...awesome drunken hammer wielder or awesome drooling cleaver wielder. Difficult choice.

[Tsukiyumi]

We're putting together a pretty serious Evil League Of Evil here.

Isn't anyone going to be a lowly Human?

Oh, and Rochey:

Charisma: -2 (0)

People hate you even more than they hate me!

[Monroe]

You guys are doing your characters correctly. I changed the combat rules slightly. I figured out why Exalted has 6 d10s. And we're not using the mechanic they used to determine so I cut it down to just 3 d10s. I posted an example in the new Rules thread.

Going Wood elf, so modified stats would be

Strength: 5
Intelligence: 5
Willpower: 4
Agility: 13
Endurance: 7
Charisma: 5
*Increased Hearing and Trap detection*

So, what are the odds I can get ahold of some good poison?

There will be plenty of good loot and items to purchase before the mission begins.

Everyone can post their started characters in the new thread. viewtopic.php?f=20&t=4287

I shall go with an Orc, simply cause I wish to bash the crap out of things and shoot stuff while being a drooling imbecile.

Initial scores
Strength: 8
Intelligence: 6
Willpower: 3
Agility: 9
Endurance: 1
Charisma: 7

After Orc Modifiers
Strength: 12
Intelligence: 3
Willpower: 3
Agility: 9
Endurance: 1
Charisma: 4

Awesome, a drooling idjit with no endurance.

[Mikey]

Before I set my char up, can I offer you the name "Fodder?"

[Monroe]

I got the shop up. If you don't see an item you feel I should add let me know and I'll try to add it.

Any chance of cleavers and some primitive firearms/crossbows?

Edit: Or spears/polearms/harpoons?

I'm planning on making my Orc a former whaler. What could be more evil then a dude who kills whales, dolphins and seals?

Yeah I can do that. Reason those weapons were so easy for me to do is I just altered a list from Oblivion
