Under: The first Expedition, part 3

I do apologize for any faults in the following text. To many numbers! They are not totaly set in stone and can still change in the future.

A mix of my own crazy ideas, a portion of Arduin and "Svärd och svartkonst".

Instead of rolling 3d6 and adding some racial modifier after meeting som prerequisite score and such; In Aenglum you choose a race and class; each of your choices show you how to roll one of the three parts of your initial characteristic score. Ok, this is the general idea anyways.

”1d4 + race + class”
