 Besides obviously needing imagination, you need to bring a few things to the table in order to create an Adventurer. You will need two sheets of paper or some way to keep track of: a worksheet, and a definition.  Besides obviously needing imagination, you need to bring a few things to the table in order to create an Adventurer.

-The **worksheet** will details the options picked, created, or rolled for the adventurer, it is a kind of log of their creation. It is kept forever since it does shine light on adventurer in ways the definition does not. Record on this worksheet that all of the adventurers [[:audeo:terms#Generalized Potential (GP)|abilities]] start at potential of 2, and those will likely increase as you go through creation. You should also record they start with 0 Xp, 5 Ip, and 10 Gold.+The **worksheet** will details the options picked, created, or rolled for the adventurer, it is a kind of log of their creation.

-In unfolding creation you make choices, roll the dice based on those choices, and then come full circle to roll again. This lets you direct the randomness in a way that lets you almost feel you are making the choices your adventured did in their life. You will need a single six-sided die to use this method, and a print out for, or the page [[:audeo:Binding of Laurus]] itself, to reference. +In unfolding creation you use directed randomness to create your adventurer. You make general choices about them and roll the dice to see what happened. This lets you feel as if you are making the choices your adventured did in their life. You will need a single six-sided die to use this method, and a print out for, or the page [[:audeo:Binding of Laurus]] itself, to reference. In particular you will use the [[:audeo:Binding of Laurus#Unfolding Tables]] section most often.
  
-The first step is the rough shape of the adventurer. You choose the [[:audeo:Binding of Laurus#Land]] in which the adventurer was: [[:audeo:Binding of Laurus#Born]]. After that, roll a die on one of the following tables to determine where you were grew up.+The first step is the rough shape of the adventurer. You choose the [[:audeo:Binding of Laurus#Land]] in which the adventurer was: [[:audeo:Binding of Laurus#Born]]. After that, roll a die on one of the [[:audeo:Binding of Laurus#Upbringing Tables]] to determine where your adventurer Grew Up, and then do the same for where they were Named. Record all the details for these directed rolls. If nothing has given your adventurer a Heritage, choose or roll one on the [[:audeo:Binding of Laurus#Race]] table. Record its details as well onto your worksheet.
  
- +The second step is the early experiences of the adventurer. You get three choices on the [[:audeo:Binding of Laurus#Early Experiences Tables]], roll the die for each and see what comes up. After that, discover exactly what happened with another roll on the proper table you determined from this one. Meaning, if you roll a Failed Pursuit, on the first roll, toss a die and consult that table to see what you get. Record the details and follow any rules for each (possibly rolling on other tables).
- [[:audeo:Binding of Laurus#Grew]], and finally [[:audeo:Binding of Laurus#Named]]. Record the details and adjustments for each. Finally if you don't already know the adventurer's race, pick from [[:audeo:Binding of Laurus#Heritage]] and record its details too. +
- +
-The second step is the early experiences of the adventurer. You get three [[:audeo:Binding of Laurus#Early Experiences|experiences]], pick for each from any of the following charts: +
- +
-  * Found a [[:audeo:Binding of Laurus#Mentor]] +
-  * Took part in a [[:audeo:Binding of Laurus#Failed Pursuit]] +

 You can place these in any order you'd like, chronologically for the story of your adventurer. This doesn't matter one lick for adventurer creation, but does often have an impact on how you view the story of your adventurer. You can place these in any order you'd like, chronologically for the story of your adventurer.
