Creating a character in SorC is an in-depth, player-driven process that begins by selecting a race and class, then allocating attributes through a combination of dice rolls and point spending. Each character’s foundational stats (see below) are determined by rolling dice and strategically assigning results. Players then spend points to enhance these attributes or unlock Talents, Skills, and Traits (TSTs), which are special abilities or proficiencies connected to their chosen path.
Progression in SorC is ongoing and modular. As characters gain levels, players continue to allocate points and remnants (leftover points from attribute rolls) to further develop their character’s talents and skills. This allows for a high degree of customization and growth, ensuring every character’s journey is unique and responsive to both mechanical and narrative choices.
In summary, SorC’s character creation blends strategic decision-making with rich narrative potential. The process is thorough but unfolds gradually, helping both new and experienced players build complex, evolving characters whose choices and stories are central to their adventure in the world of Essentia.
Each player has 2 minutes to complete their turn once it begins. If the player does not act within this time, they forfeit their turn, and play passes to the next participant.
