Character Building

A Poem by Wynter Ignatius
"

There is more to this than it appears even if I enjoy pen and paper games...

"
Gather your dice up
Roll for your score
Write down your results
See where you end up

Do you have the strength
To carry the load
To push without breaking
To lift, not throw
To be there when needed the most

Gather your dice up
Roll for your score
Write down your results
See where you end up

Do you have the dexterity
To use a soft touch
To guide things along
To dodge the pitfalls
To have the finesse in all manners

Gather your dice up
Roll for your score
Write down your results
See where you end up

Do you have the constitution
To endure the storms
To weather errant ills
To fight off attacks
To keep up when you are relied upon

Gather your dice up
Roll for your score
Write down your results
See where you end up

Do you have the intelligence
To see past illusions
To not have to ask
To pose the right questions
To know when your words are most needed

Gather your dice up
Roll for your score
Write down your results
See where you end up

Do you have the wisdom
To learn from your mistakes
To judge all fairly
To not fall into folly
To determine what matters to you most

Gather your dice up
Roll for your score
Write down your results
See where you end up

Do you have the charisma
To keep your presence
To enchant your queen
To show devotion to others
To be personable around those closest to you

Your character is left wanting
Too weak for this adventure
Yet you make your efforts
Just to play the game
