When creating Player characters, you rolled a d6 to determine if your
character possessed one of the special abilities from the top table at
character start. 1 - 4 meant one ability, 5 - 6 meant No special ability.
As one progressed in survival of gunfights a character could also gain another roll on
the Special Abilities tables for every five gunfights at first
until 55 gunfights when it became every one roll every 8 (not that anyone was supposed
to live that long, Hi Sam! at 76+).
Roll AD&D game statistics using 4d6 [best 3d6] for each statistic: Intelligence.
Charisma, Wisdom, Constitution, and Comeliness. Strength and Dexterity are
derived from the Boot Hill statistics Strength and Speed at creation.
- BH STR Point equal Strength score in AD&D
- BH 19 STR = 18/50
- BH 20 STR = 18/75
- Ad&D Dexterity = 6 base + [1 per 10% of BH Speed rating with normal
maximum of 16]
Hit dice are calculated as Fighters based on Experience level in Boot Hill
- Fighter 2 at O Accuracy Modifier
- Fighter 3 at +2% Acc Mod (gunfights 5 & 6)
- Fighter 4 at +6% Acc Mod (gunfights 7 & 8)
- Fighter 5 at +8% ACC Mod (gunfights 9 & 10)
- Fighter 6 at +10% Acc Mod (11+ Gunfights: 100% on Experience Roll at Creation)
- +1 level of Fighter for every 10 gunfights past 10.
Some characters might be based on thieves, bandits etc (even Rangers) based on alignment
and campaign history.
