 This is a slimmed down version on races, skills, and items to get a beginning player going. The specific rules will have more information on larger and smaller races and a wider variety of skills and items to choose from.

 ===== Hit Points and Damage Taken =====
-Hit points are how much damage a character can take before falling unconscious. When you picked a race, you also picked a number of hit points. Hit points are determined by the size of your character with smaller races having fewer hit points and larger races more. Generally a character is going to either be small, medium (man-sized), or large, which allots a character ten hit points, fifteen hit points, or twenty hit points respectively. (For the heights and weights associated with these sizes and the other four possible sizes, see the section on [[hit_points|Hit Points]].)

-Your damage taken is going to start at zero. As you take damage from combat, traps, or other encounters, it is written here. When it reaches the listed number of hit points, a character falls unconscious. Damage can be decreased with rest or by the use of healing skills or items. (See the section on [[hit_points|Hit Points]] for more information.)

 ===== Mana and Mana Used =====
-Mana is the amount of internal strength a character has. This is used to limit how often a character can use certain skills. Mana starts off at ten and increases at a rate of two per level. Because a character is considered to by fully rested at the beginning of a campaign, the mana used begins at zero. If a GM has started your character off at a level other than 1, your mana will increase to whatever is appropriate for your starting level. Otherwise your character will start with a 10 under Mana and a 0 under Mana Used.

 Why use the Defense Dice Worksheet at all? Because some defenses change often, based on the clothing or armor being worn or the Attributes or Knowledge a character has. Rather than having to re-figure out all of the defenses any time something changes, simply modify the column that has changed and add up the values again.
+In addition to the defensive dice toward attack types, you should also fill in the additional defensive adjustments based on size on your character sheet. Unlike other defense numbers, this will have to be calculated at battle time based on the size of the opponent you are defending yourself against. This advantage is one per size difference, starting at two sizes different (see [[creatures#additional_defensive_dice|Additional Defensive Dice]] for an easy to understand table). It should be noted that these do not apply to mental attacks of any sort, only to physical attacks.
 ===== What Else? =====
 That’s it. There’s nothing else you need to write down. You probably have some idea of gender (if your race has a gender at all). You also probably have in mind whether you’re going to play as a good guy or a bad guy, but unlike many RPGs, this one allows for you to have some sort of character arc, if you want one. There’s no Detect Good or Detect Evil spells. Hags aren’t all evil. Brownies aren’t all good. It’s all in how they were raised and how they’ve made up their minds as they’ve reached adulthood. Yeah, weird, huh?
