SV: [HoE] First Game

["RagnaRok" <johilles@online.no>]

Just to point out the thing with drawing cards, i think it is unfair
because it unbalances the characters from the start, and that might get
some players jealous. What i did was that i looked on the templates and
noticed that almost all had the same trait dices ( 1xd12, 2xd10, 2xd8 and
5xd6) what u do now is you draw cards to find out the number of dice to the
traits they get, my PC's was very positive to this. 

As for your other problems, i havent been playing HOE very long, but either
u get help here or discuss it with your PC's...
