AP based Character Creation

for

Barbarians of Lemuria
Characters are created with Advancement Points (AP) instead of the easily abused distribution model presented in the BoL Legendary Edition. The original system, while quick, was easily abused and encouraged the use of an optimized build. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8.
