FKR Character Generation Using Tékumel

It turns out Empire of the Petal Throne is a great fit for FKR play as it generates Sword & Sorcery characters fairly quickly and easily with a naturalistic feel (roll for stats and skills!) without you actually needing any of the (arguably already minimal) crunch. Here goes:

1. As a Group, choose your Party's Alignment: Good, Neutral or Evil

2. Choose your Profession: Warrior, Priest or Magician

3. Determine your Abilities. Use a d100, only record descriptors, leave empty if "average"
