                    Welcome to Angband! (PC release 1.40)
(If this is your first time playing, you may want to read the manual first.)

   Your first task is to generate a character.  You must specify a race,
a sex and a class.  Then you will be asked if you wish to use the autoroller.

   If you say yes, Angband will then ask you for the minimally acceptable
value for each of your six vital statistics.  If you don't care what you
have for a given stat., you should use 3.  If you want a value over 18, you
should add the percentile part to 18.  For example, 18/01 is 19, 18/32 is
50, 18/99 is 117.  Then Angband will generate random characters, until it
finds one that meets your specifications.  Be warned: If you are too picky,
you could be in for a long wait until Angband finds a suitable character.

   If you chose not to use the autoroller, Angband will generate characters
one at a time, letting you view each and decide if you want to keep that one.
If you happen to hit space an extra time, and realize it just as your perfect
character is erased, don't despair.  You can type control-p to go back to
the previous character.  When you are satisfied with the current character,
hit ESC.

   Then Angband will ask you to name your character.  If you make a mistake,
don't worry, it is simple to rename your character during play.  At this
point, you can now press any key but 'Q' to begin play, or 'Q' to abort and
exit immediately.
