Rules in this ruleset

Equal totals (Method II) and equal lowest dice (Method I) resolve to the earliest roll. This changes no score; it fixes which die identity is recorded as discarded or retained.

RAW, with a declared campaign option races.sexLimits. Off is a house rule: the larger of the two maxima applies to everyone, and every sheet it touches says so.

The sheet records the Table III maximum (half-orc 12, dwarf 16) as the character's Charisma. The footnotes say these caps hold only toward other races; a higher score toward one's own kind is a matter for play, not for the sheet. Slice 1 records the cap and the note; a later slice may carry both values.

Table I's shorthand says neutral to evil; the class text on p. 27 and the alignment chapter on p. 33 both add neutral good explicitly. The fuller text decides (inventory D09). Lawful good and chaotic good remain closed to thieves.

The restriction is read on the racially adjusted scores, like class minimums: p. 14 says the modified scores are the actual scores for all purposes. Two restrictions naming different classes leave no legal single class; a multi-class never satisfies one. Inventory D04.

The non-human table has four columns. Sub-classes use their parent's column: druid as cleric, paladin and ranger as fighter, illusionist as magic-user, assassin as thief. OSRIC p. 3 says exactly this; the DMG does not. A race-class pair with a dash in its column (dwarven magic-user) cannot occur, because Table I forbids it. Inventory D05.

Middle age halves the exceptional rating and keeps the 18; old age and venerable age take whole points and the rating is lost once Strength falls below 18. The two sentences are read as the specific (middle age) and the general (every other loss). Inventory D05.

Race and class qualify on racially adjusted scores before age, because the age table needs both and the DMG only protects minimums afterwards. Recorded as RAW after reading the pages on 2026-10-13 (DESIGN.md §6.4).

A Strength that becomes 18 through the mature bonus is not rolled on by default (strict reading of "not considered"). The campaign option strength.exceptionalByAge = roll opens the percentile roll instead; it is flagged as a house rule. Live at creation for half-orc and dwarf fighters, who can start mature. DESIGN.md §6.4.

p. 19 says to total the dice and adjust for Constitution; p. 12 says the adjustment is per hit die and that only fighter dice take more than +2. Read together: each die is adjusted by the class it belongs to, then summed. A fighter/magic-user with Constitution 17 gets +3 on the d10 and +2 on the d4. Inventory D10.

Rolling is RAW and the default. max, rerollOnes and average are campaign options flagged as house rules on every sheet they touch; average counts each die as the rounded-up midpoint (d10 6, d8 5, d6 4, d4 3). DESIGN.md §6.5.

The table names five classes. Sub-classes use their parent's row: druid as cleric, paladin and ranger as fighter, illusionist as magic-user, assassin as thief.

The PHB does not say what a multi-classed character starts with. OSRIC's examples both pick the class with the larger sum; this ruleset does the same: the class whose maximum is highest. Inventory D11.

Each race description states its own limit. Where it caps (dwarf, gnome, half-orc) the Intelligence table still applies below the cap; where it gives a formula (elf, half-elf, halfling) the formula replaces the table, because the text says what the character "can learn" outright. Humans use the table. Inventory D07.

A new character knows the automatic tongues; the capacity is room to learn, not languages known. The option languages.extraAtStart lets a campaign hand out the capacity at creation from the PHB p. 34 list; it is flagged as a house rule. Inventory D07.

Bo stick, club, jo stick and quarterstaff have no price on p. 35. The shop lists them at no cost with a note; a DM may rule otherwise at the table. The lance appears once at 6 gp and that price is used for all three lances.

Height and weight are not on the sheet yet (inventory D06, slice 2c). Until they are, these limits are shown as a note on the shop and not enforced.

The PHB gives no multi-class rule for proficiencies. The character starts with the larger initial number among its classes and the milder non-proficiency penalty; each weapon chosen must be permitted to at least one of the classes. Inventory D11.

A multi-classed character may buy and wear what any of its classes permits. Where a piece exceeds one class's limit, the sheet notes that class's functions are restricted while it is worn (thief skills in anything but leather, no shield; a non-elf, non-half-elf magic-user's spells in armor). The restriction is information for play, not a bar to purchase.

The PHB prices helmets but gives them no armor class effect; the DMG p. 28 rule about unhelmeted heads is for play. Helmets are sold and weighed; they change no number on the sheet.

Appendix O does not weigh every item the PHB sells. Where it is silent, a small figure is estimated by comparison, as the appendix itself suggests, and the item says so.

Stored as a base score per level band plus the run of six 20s, which reproduces every cell on the page; the 0-level fighter and the lowest magic-user and thief bands start one higher (AC 10 reads 11, AC −10 reads 26). Tests spot-check cells from each table, including those three bands.

The DMG states the most-favourable rule for saving throws only. The sheet applies the same reading to the attack matrices of a multi-class, which is the common table practice and never worse than any single class.

The DMG gives a base movement per armor and the PHB a movement by weight carried. The sheet takes the lower of the two: armor never lets a laden character move faster, and a light load never lets plate move at 12". The encumbered band reads 3" (the PHB says 3"–4").

Wisdom Table II is headed "for clerics"; the druid is a sub-class of the cleric and the sheet grants the bonus spells to druids as well. Paladins and rangers get no bonus spells (they have none at first level).

A 0 lets the player choose any first-level magic-user spell except the two the DMG names, not only one from that column: the columns sort the random results, and the text says only that choice is left to the player. The DMG's further options (automatic choice, an extra defensive or miscellaneous spell) are campaign options flagged as house rules. Inventory D12.

The starting spells come from the master and are not rolled against the Intelligence chance to know; the chance applies to spells found later. Inventory D12.

"1–4½"" is read as a d9 halved (½" to 4½"), "1–3½"" as a d7 halved; "adjust by 1–8#" as a d8 with a coin for the direction, since the page gives none. The "1-4" style ranges in the tables are read as dice: 1-4 is 1d4, 2-16 is 2d8, 4-40 is 4d10, 3-36 is 3d12, 5-60 is 5d12. Inventory D06.

DMG p. 12 suggests wider under/over ranges for human player characters. Option physique.wideHumanVariation applies 2d10 inches and 10d20 pounds to a human's under and over results (female: the p. 102 dice already fall within the p. 12 figures, so only the male figures change in practice). Off by default; on is flagged a house rule. Inventory D06.

The PHB lists abilities first and the name last; it does not prescribe an order between them. This ruleset asks for the method, rolls, assigns, then sex, race, class, alignment, exceptional Strength, age, name, and locks. The order is a convention, not a rule.

The book does not say who holds the dice. A campaign may let a player type the dice they rolled at the table; the record then says so, and the DM sees it in the audit view.

RAW keeps the roll. A new roll is DM fiat, recorded as an event with a reason; it reopens the roll and everything that depended on it. Nothing is deleted. DESIGN.md §6.3.

Paladins and rangers are sub-classes of the fighter and share its tables unless a passage says otherwise; none does for exceptional Strength. Option strength.exceptionalSubclasses, default on. OSRIC p. 1 says the same explicitly.
