You can either come up with your own deity, or if you'd prefer, we can use a pantheon I created where there are 4 gods who basically represents the alignments; LG, CG, LE, CE.

No need to apologies.

I think I might go for it anyway. He could be a kid whose father always envisioned him becoming a great warrior, but he always wanted to be a Mage (basically the medieval equivalent of "dad wants his son to be the football star that he never was, but his son just wants to play D&D").
In Basic Fantasy, only Elves can be Fighter/Magic-user. And Elves can neve have a HP dice bigger that d6, that with your score of 6 for CON (which means a penalty of -1) isn’t going to be great for your survivability.

That being said, if you want to ply an Elf Fighter/Magic-user, I won’t stop you.


Edit:

Also, I should have mentioned this earlier, I strongly recommend that you download the Basic Fantasy Role-Playing Game Beginner's Essentials. This will make it a lot easier to create your characters. It's the same rules as the core book, but regrouped in 15 pages. It will save you a lot of back and forth.

You know, I went through the rules and made notes on all the allowed combinations...then completely disregarded all of them

I'm thinking my best bet is to go for Human Fighter (to get those 7 big Hit Points)...and play a "hit them before they hit you" strategy...

That is always the best strategy.

So, some of you seem stuck on character creation. Does anyone need any help?

No, I don't need any help...I just need to get off my butt and finish things. Luckily, my boss has the day off today, so I should be able to count on a day of limited distractions, and get fully caught up.

I'm back I think I'll finish my character and start posting. My mind has not been in the creative mode. It's starting to come around.

I do have a question. If picking something non-standard as a weapon, will we run into magic items which are non-standard? Everybody takes a sword. But what about a frying pan, sickle, etc?

Sorry, the last few days have been kind of busy, but I’m back now.

I hope your Aunt is doing ok Ysolde.

I’ll make a call and say yes.

I’m using modules so I very much doubt that they include a magical +2 frying pan in the treasure section. That being said, if you are really attached to the idea, we can work something out.

It wasn't that I needed a frying pan or sickle as magical, though that would be pretty awesome. I made my character for role playing as though he brought with him what he could find and readily had available. Thus we can stick with the module-provided items, but if you do want to stick in a magical frying pan of returning +2 I'm all for it!
