[PnP] noob questions part IV - Bride of Noob Questions

[Alex Koponen]

My houserule is that players roll and record the attribute numbers, then 
place them as they see fit before adjusting them for race and gender.

I limit the initial spells by determining the spells they get instructed 
in randomly until they choose to have the remainder of the points spent 
on spells they choose. These chosen spells are bought at the alone rate.
