Please post your characters here on this thread.
Here is some of the information you'll need for making your character. The easiest way will be to use the Dholes House character generator (make sure you use the 6th edition classic era generator) here:
https://www.dholeshouse.org/Default
Don't forget, your character is a friend James Frazer, so please bear that in mind when creating your character. James is a 19 year old, first-year student at Miskatonic University, and the son of the banker, Gerald Fraser, a member of a notable Arkham banking family.
If you want to do it the old fashioned way...
Character creation rules
STR, CON, POW, DEX, and APP are rolled using 3D6, while EDU is rolled using 3D6+3, and INT and SIZ are determined by rolling 2D6+6. Dice rolls are made and distributed as you desire.
Minimum age is EDU+6 years.
Starting at age 40, an investigator loses 1 point from STR, CON, DEX, or APP for every 10 years of age. However, an older investigator gains 1 point of EDU for every additional 10 years of age, starting at age 30.
INTx5 for Idea; POWx5 for Luck; EDUx5 for Know. Sanity = POWx5; Hit Points = CON+SIZ/2 rounding up any fraction; Magic Points = POW.
STR+SIZ = Damage Bonus
2 to 12 = -1D6
13 to 16 = -1D4
17 to 24 = None
25 to 32 = +1D4
33 to 40 = +1D6
