Age

To determine the starting age of your

character you can either determine it randomly

using the table below, or choose it If you choose

it, your chosen age must be above the minimum

age for your character’s race and class (see Table

9-1) For example, an umbral fighter must be

at least 40 years of age at character creation If

you choose to determine your character’s starting

age randomly simply find your character’s

chosen race and class on Table 9-1 and roll the

appropriate dice Then add the total of the roll to

the adulthood age for your chosen race

Height and Weight

To determine a character’s height roll the

modifier dice indicated on Table 9-2 and add

the result, in inches, to the base height of your

character’s race and gender To determine weight

simply multiply that roll by the weight multiplier

and add the result to the base weight for your

character’s race and gender

Nightling: This language is a series of hoots,

clicks and growls It resembles a combination of animal sounds and can be very difficult for non native speakers to imitate Because of this only
