Freki Imsigull


I came across the character sheet for Freki while sorting some old files. Besides being on paper, typed with writing on it, checking off hit points and adding xp, it is a reminder of simpler times. It is remarkable how little information we needed to play. Sure I could not kill a Fire Giant in one shot or rain a fire of arrows, but it was fun playing all the same. I present to you, the first generation DragonSlayer.

Notes and comments

The "italics" are the hand written notes. Mostly the hit points and the xp, note how we used half xp to make a new character from the beginning. Some of the abbreviation may be unclear to newer players. At one point we used phases rather then rounds, so a weapond's "Speed" (Spd) was Very Fast, Fast, Average, Slow, or Very Slow. Similar to the Initiative modifier for character sizes we use now. They also had a "Pattern" (Ptn) that described how the weapon was used and where friendly should not stand. A long sword has a "plus" so you did not want to stand next to someone swinging a long sword. I am pretty sure "Hairy-Breeks" was part of his full name, but it has been so long ago.
