>of their character. I will then inform the player what their numbers are
>(they can place the native abilities at their choice), their specials etc.

>The first weapon skill chosen by the player MUST be one of the favored
>weapons listed for his culture.  Starting EL for combat skills is EL0.
>Starting EL for other skills is the Character's Current Maximum skill
>divided by the number of attributes used to determine the Maximum level in
>the skill. Payment of the basic cost to learn a combat skill will get the
>character EL 0 in that skill. If double the listed cost to learn is paid,
>the character gets a starting level as for non-combat skills with the same
>EL range. (Or one can pay to learn to a lessor degree).
>Weapons wielded in two hands have advantages and disadvantages. The obvious
>disadvantage is that it takes both hands, thus preventing use of a second
>weapon or shield. Against missiles in particular this can be perilous. The
>advantages with two handed weapons are their reach, WSB, FV and the ability
>to use full weapon EL vs ALL melee opponents to their front (not just put
>towards a single opponent or split between opponents as with one-handed
>weapons). The same amount of EL applied defensively towards one applies to
>all melee opponents. Further, leverage allowed by two-handed use means that
>weaker people can use the weapon (at WSB-1). Thus while a Bastard Sword
>WSB+1 requires a SB of +1 to use one- handed, someone with SB of 0 can use
>it two-handed. Similarly a Great Sword WSB+2 only requires SB+1 to use as
>it is a two-handed weapon. A Spear WSB0 can be used two- handed by those of
>SB-1.

>a group skill is bought that duplicates a Common Knowledge skill of that
