This weekend I introduced two new players to RM2. My daughters have been playing for a few years now and they wanted their friends to try out the system. This weekend was spent rolling up PCs and going over basic mechanics. The process was long as the people arrived at different times and days, but the results are pretty funny and should prove to be interesting.
My youngest daughter rolled up a Barbarian and did pretty well, but rolled poorly on Body Dev and has 40 HP.
My oldest daughter rolled up a Dancer. She forget to purchase ranks in Dancing, or any of the other 'performance arts' skills, Acting, Poetic Improv, Tale Telling, etc. But she did buy Seduction, so now she thinks she's going to play a prostitute or stripper.
The boyfriend rolled up a Trader. While he did buy ranks in Trading Lore, he did not buy any ranks in Trading, Basic Math, Advanced Math, etc. He did buy ranks in Begging because "...I'm going to beg a lot to get good deals..." With his -5 for the stats, he has a grand total of 1 for Begging. He's right... he's going to be begging a lot.
The friend rolled up an Assassin, but spent a background option on Skill at Arms and rolled a 05 - Chivalry. She will always fight in a fair manner, will always allow the opponent to rearm himself, will not fight from horseback vs. a standing foe, etc.
So the party consists of a Barbarian who can't take a hit, a Dancer who can't dance, a Trader who can't trade or count, and an Assassin who must kill her target in a fair manner.
Granted, they are all level 1 PCs and they have their DP's already planned out for level 2, but it's going to be an interesting time getting to level 2!
