....with character creation (and 3 halflings! That'll take the edge of the tone)!
The method was point-buy (High Fantasy) this seemed to give a pleasing array of ability scores. The players didn't think them too low and I didn't think them too high (there's one '18' in the party).
Hit points was 'max-at-first-level plus constitution score' (as given as an option in the side-bar nad an idea I liked from The Book of Experimental Might - Ravenloft's a tough place).
Skills were no problem (although 'Fly' caused a raised eyebrow).
The only hiccup was feats. There is such a dizzy array of them that the two more inexperienced players took what I suggested...
...a short feedback I know but it's a start. More will follow when the game is underway.....
Cheers
