As long as you dont go under the minimum you can get from the dice roll, I allow to move points as much as you like.

What's the point to even roll then? Just roll once to know how many points you have total and place them where ever you like...

But that's ok, at this stage I wouldn't be able to commit myself to it anyway.

Probably to prevent powergaming a bit. Like what if I stuck everything but bare minimum of my points into Power, Intelligence and Education at the expense of everything else?

Well... This is what I came up with (I edited the original Char Sheet in Paint)

Character Background: Jonas Walter was born in Germany, went to the University of Hamburg, and came out of it with degrees in Cartography (his dream) and Medicine (For the sake being a German Doctor). He had a dream to take his education to America. However, when he got there, he learned firsthand of the racism in America, and how no one would want to hire a German Mapmaker, so he was forced to live on the streets of Boston, he has a box to call home. he doesn't remember how long he has been living on the streets... he just knows that it's his home.

Character Sheet

(If there's anything you want me to add or take away, I can)

That's exactly my point though... What stop you from doing just that right now?

Yes, so far so good. You havent distributed your skill points yet. I'l also allow you to have 85 points of Read/write German, considering his origins. He will be fluent in both German and English (like you've already marked on your sheet).

You will have no real income or any savings. And your damage bonus will be +1D4.

@Jironobou, IIRC the base ratings for each skill (between brackets--sometimes dependent on attributes) are ADDed to what you distribute into them; sometimes you seem to have put nothing, but in some cases what you write is below the base, as if you had put negative points. And you should leave the checkboxes besides the skills blank, they're supposed to be marked with pencil whenever you get experience (a chance to raise) in that skill, and erased back when experience is rolled. Also if your character is German and studied in Germany, he gets 10 into speaking German not English, and his EDUx5 into reading German too. And I guess you'd need to put something into both speaking and reading English.

EDIT: Hadn't seen TC's post.

Thank's Chosen

Revisified Char Sheet

Also Oak, I originally intended his age to be unknown, even to him, hence the last sentence in his background (I added an estimation anyways)
