Oh yessss...
Also, I will now work out some concrete rulesss. Will be right back.
First of all, without skills, doing some stuff will prove to be difficult: Normal combat with weapons has -2 to accuracy while unarmed and thrown will have -1 to accuracy, but unarmed has -1 to damage as well. Every spell that is cast needs to pass a control roll. Spellcasting is no piece of cake, and under normal conditions (no skills) you have -2 to the control roll of the spell and -1 to all other spell-related rolls. But don't worry, your opponents will be weaksauces for the beginning.
Now for some pre-game stuff: Your group has 1000 gold to spend on the equip and skills. Group consent please
