There are currently two different ways to determine the starting stats of your character – you can choose which one to use from the birth screen.Point-based
The point-based method allows you to “buy” improvements to your basic stats by “spending” points on them. You have a fixed number of points to spend, and making small changes to a stat costs proportionally less than making large changes. Any unspent points are converted into your starting money that you can use to buy equipment at the start of the game.
On selecting this option, you will find that the points have already been assigned to default recommended values. These represent an algorithm’s opinion for the ideal point spending. However, you are free to reallocate them as you wish.
This is the recommended birth method.Standard roller
The standard roller simply rolls three six-sided dice for each stat, leaving everything to chance. You can press r to re-roll the dice, or simply accept what luck has offered.
