I'll be posting a character soon, just saw this, love D20 and love zombie games so consider me interested.

Just a note, I would like it if people could post apps in the character creation section in the forum. Meaning I would not need to jump back and forth between advert and forum, thanks

Would you be willing to make an exception on letting me change to point buy even though I've already rolled? My total modifiers came out to a lousy three instead of two, with my highest stat being a 13. I don't see a character who has average-or-worse stats in every ability score surviving in a post-apocalyptic zombie survival game.

Sorry FM, can't change the rule on this account. But you don not need to be too worried about the stats, it depends on the type of character you were planning on. One can still be made with those stats, I will admit it will not be a super man.

Actually FM (sorry Darkhugh) the rules are with you on this one. In the score generating section of the book, under rerolling, it states that

Quote:

Your scores are considered too low if the total of your modifiers is 0 or lower, or if your highest score is 13 or lower.

Of course, Darkhugh can impose penalties if your scores come out like all 18's, but according to the rules you are entitled to a reroll.

Sorry K, normally I'd agree with you but Darkhugh is the GM and he specified:

For character creation you may use 36 point buy or roll 6m4d6^3. If you select the roll you must keep it, the only exception being if you net modifier is less than two.

So if he took the chance and doesn't qualify for a re-roll as Darkhugh said then he's stuck with it.

I realized right after I posted yesterday morning that my stats are actually a net modifier of two instead of three. I completely forgot that an ability score of seven is -2, not -1. Therefore, my total ability modifiers come out to exactly two. But instead of re-rolling, I'm just going to take the 36 point buy, which is considerably high anyway.

Name : Constable Mellissa Lawla
Age : 22
Description: Mellissa Lawla is about 5’8 set on a slight frame. Her shoulder length dark hair is often tied back in a ponytail or bun set under her police hat. Like most police women she wears very little make up and has a hard set face. Though not unattractive she is defiantly not hot. When off duty she lets her hair down and dresses quite nicely, a little more make up brings out her features to life. When she goes to this sort of trouble she is quite attractive.

Personality: As a female Constable in a primarily male dominated profession she feels that she has to work harder, stronger, faster then her work mates. This can make her seem stubborn or arrogant. She tries to stay professional calm and rational at all times. This can’t be achieved offcourse and she is prone to the occasional hissy fit.

History/hooks: She aspires to be promoted to a detective preferably Homicide in the future but knows that that is something you have to work your way up to. So she works her but off.
Though she did play some sports at school and was likeable enough she never broke through to the cool side. Her cause for fairness and justice often put her on the outer with her peers, who only cared about shopping and boys.

After school she went to Uni studying law for two years before dropping out due to lack of interest in the just theory. She did like the law however so she joined the Police force. She excelled at the Police Academy, finishing in the top 10%.

After a year on the job Mellissa has a good reputation among her peers. Her arrest record is second to none due to her knowledge of the law.

The radio barks an armed robbery alert just a block and a half from there location. Her partner senior constable Frank Smithe and her are first on the scene. But nothing could prepare them for what was to happen next. Two men dressed in bullet proof armour came out of the Bank. Seeing the patrol car the bandits opened up with automatic weapons. All Mellissa could register at this point is shattering glass, warm liquid spraying her face and searing burn points around her body then fade to black……
