Dragon Slayer II: Xanadu/Character attributes

From StrategyWiki, the video game walkthrough and strategy guide wiki

Character creation[edit]

At the beginning of the game, visit the King. He will ask the hero's name (hereafter referred to simply as "the Hero") and he will give him 3500 Gold Coins to train his seven attributes.

In most ports of Xanadu, you are free to distribute the character attributes as you wish. However, the "Saturn Mode" in the Falcom Classics remake gives a clear suggestion; it also gives 1000 G for customization.
