We're following the rules for this one, other than me giving you five sets instead of two.

If you can't make two viable PCs from five sets of rolls, I can give you a couple more sets to choose from.

If you haven't bought the final ruleset yet and are still using the free beta rules, the major difference is that you can no longer raise an attribute above 16 with Background or Racial bonuses. It used to be 17.

In some places, you can choose an option vs random roll (Race, Background) but other places you need to roll (Class Skills).

I will get some rolls for you right now shaidar.

Attribute rules:

Generate Attributes by rolling 3d6 seven times and allocate the results in order to Str, Dex, Con, Int, Perc, Will, and Cha. You must have at least one attribute of 13 or higher and another of 15 or higher. If not, increase one attribute of your choosing to 13, and/or one to 15, as required. You may then also swap any two Attribute scores, if desired.

Thanks. I'll go looking for the final rules at DTRPG and ponder those rolls.

Set 4 would work for a cultist.
Set 5 would work for a thief.

Or the other way around.

Set 1 - Barbarian (swap high CHR with low STR)

Set 2 - Not very viable with two different -2 attributes. But you have a 16 INT and you get to change one of the low attributes to a 13 so you could boost DEX or CON and make a Magic-User or Artificer. Maybe boost CON to 13 and swap the 6 DEX with the 12 CHR and he's survivable with a bad attitude?

Set 3 - Bard (swap the high INT and low STR)

Set 4 - Cultist, Monk, or Thief

Set 5 - Cultist, Monk, or Thief (or Ranger if you swap the 16 WILL into PER)

You can make Set 4 work for just about any Class.

I'm considering a Cultist (of Soliri) and a ranger, a sister and brother.

But waiting to see what Rex is interested in.

Wanted to also note that you can choose how your two PCs know each other and then I'll roll for one Party Bond between one of Rex's PCs and one of shaidar's PCs to connect all four of you.

I can go with the 4th set as a fighter, switching the Int with Con. So 17 Str and 13 Con.

Set 2 as a thief, swapping Str and Dex so Dex is a 16.

Let me know when you're both locked into your classes, and if you want to choose anything vs a random roll, and I will get the ball rolling.

I'm happy with cultist and ranger. For the cultist (set 4) I think I'll swap dex and con. For the ranger (set 5) swap will and perc.

I'd like to have human as race, the rest I'm happy with random.

For backgrounds, there's quite a range, so I'm happy for those to be rolled and I'll make a background history up that links the siblings together and makes sense. It may be that they end up as cousins rather than siblings, we shall see.
