Chapter II: Character Creation

— sample CharaCTer sheeT —

Here’s an example of a filled in character sheet, using
Nicole’s Elf Outlaw. Note the way her free advance
(+1 to her Attacks Characteristic) is denoted with
a checkmark. When she gets another 100 xp, she
could spend that to increase her WS, BS, Ag, or Int
by 5% or her Wounds by 1. She could not increase
her Attacks again, because she’s already taken that
advance.
As a player, your character sheet is your most
important possession. Here are some tips for its
upkeep:
• Always write in pencil. Characteristics,
Advance Schemes, Trappings, Skills, Talents,
and just about everything else are subject to
change, so don’t use pen or markers on your
character sheet. Nice, erasable pencil is the
way to go.

• Make a backup. Every few sessions, make a

photocopy of your sheet or copy over a new
one. If you don’t, one soda or pizza accident
could spell the end of your character, Fate
Points or no.
• Share with your GM. Let your GM see your
sheet from time to time. It’s good for the
GM to keep up to date with your character’s
abilities and advances.
• Grab a grimoire for spells. There’s an
optional third page to the character sheet
that’s just for spellcasters. If you are playing a
Priest or Wizard, you’ll want a copy of that to
record details of your spells.
