Press [C] to create a new character. Next, choose a name for the character and type it
in, ending by pressing [ENTER].
If you want to put a password on the character, type one in (YOU have to remember
the password!) Most times you wouldn't need a password, so just press [ENTER].
Now you must choose your character’s Race and Alignment. For each you will be
given a menu of choices. Simply press the letter associated with your choice.
The next selection concerns the character's statistics. Your new character will qualify
for admission into one or more of the eight classes on the basis of these statistics.
Based upon your choice, for race, a profile set of minimum statistic values will be
displayed. You now have a chance to influence the profession of your character by
distributing bonus points.
Note the special line that tells you how many bonus points you have to work with.
The number of bonus points is selected randomly each time you create a character.
You'll distribute these points among the various statistics. The [ENTER] key moves a
selection arrow down the list of statistics. When you have the arrow pointing to the
statistic you want to change, press [+] or [-] to add to subract points.
If you move the arrow off the bottom of the list of statistics, it will pop up to the
top of the list.
Some computers also have up and down arrow keys. You can use these in
addition to [+] or [-].
You can change the statistics any way you like, but you must use up all the bonus
points you've been given. Also, you cannot push a statistic below its original
value, or above 18.
