To discover Elberon's Command Factor he rolls one D6 and scores 4. He then rolls one D4 for Elberon's Morale Factor and gets a 4. He adds one to this score to find he has a MF of 5. As Elberon is an elf, and elves are under eight feet in height, the player rolls ten D10 to discover his character's Combat Modifier. He rolls a 10,3,9, 7, 6, 2, 5, 8,4 and 1; which results in the new Warrior Hero having a modifier of 55%. To discover Elberon's experience level, the player rolls one D100 and scores 39%. This means his character is a Minor Hero (Champion) with three skills.
