Carcosa: Character Backgrounds Chart

artist unknown??

An Into the Odd-style backgrounds chart for Carcosa characters. Reference your starting HP (x-axis) and highest ability score (y-axis) to find your background. Or, choose your background first, thus setting your starting HP and putting a cap on your ability scores.

Note that these numbers are based on the assumption of 3 stats, as in ItO or Maze Rats. If you are using 6 stats, then the table will be weighted more heavily toward the lower half.
