Choosing opponents should just use the advanced screen.

Sovereign Customization:

Sex: Male or Female

Base Attributes:

All default to 10. You get 10 points to add from this. Each point over 10 represents a 10% bonus to whatever it is applied to. So a strength of 11 would be Attack = Base Attack X (11/10).

· Strength (helps with attack)

· Intelligence (helps with spell learning)

· Wisdom (helps with spell casting cost in terms of mana)

· Charisma (helps with Diplomacy)

· Dexterity (helps with defense)

· Constitution (helps with HP)

Triggered events would make use of these to provide additional options.
