White Box: FMAG Session.

I knocked out a quick solo session of FMAG today. I used the cool character generator the Smoldering Wizard web site to generate 4 characters. This is better than most generators out there as it provides, stats, names, equipment, spells, and racial abilities in its output. Here are the characters, post the adventure.

Name: Ra In the Rough

Level 1 Halfling Thief
Alignment: Neutral
Age: 52

STR: 16 (+1)
INT: 10
WIS: 9
CON: 15 (+1)
DEX: 12
CHA: 15 (max: 5 loyalty: +1)

HP: (3)
AC: 7 [12]
SAV: 14
BHB: 0
Thievery: 2
XP Bonus: 5%, 279

Armor: Leather
Shield: None
Helm: None

Weapons:
Mace [1d6]
Dagger [1d6-1]

Equipment:
6 torches
backpack
bedroll
large sack
waterskin
thieves' tools
5 days dried rations
flint & steel
50' hemp rope
158 GP

Racial Abilities:

Giants, ogres, and similar giant-type creatures such as trolls are not
good at fighting small creatures such as Halflings, and only inflict
half the normal damage against them.

Halflings receive a +2 to-hit when firing missile weapons in combat.

When not engaged in combat, Halflings can be quite stealthy, making
themselves hard to spot and moving in almost total silence. The
success of this ability is determined by the Referee.

Halflings receive +4 on saving throws vs. magic (even if the "Saving
Throw Matrix" is used).

Name: Merciggo

Level 1 Elf Fighter/Magic-User

Racial Abilities:

Elves may use either the Fighter or Magic-user class advancement
charts, to be announced at the start of an adventure.

When an Elf adventures as a Magic-user, the character has the same
weapon and armor limitations as a Magic-user. The exception to this
would be magic armor, which may still be worn even when the Elf is
acting as a Magic-user.

Elves gain an +1 to-hit and damage when fighting goblins, orcs,
intelligent undead, and lycanthropes. Elves are also immune to
paralysis caused by undead such as ghouls.

Elves are good at spotting hidden and concealed doors (1-4 on a d6
when searching, 1-2 on a d6 if just passing by).

Elves can speak with gnolls, goblins, orcs, and hobgoblins.
